What's the dumbest car you'd buy tomorrow if someone handed you $50k cash?

For what they are sure, but they’re still impractical. They can’t carry more than 2 people, can’t really carry golf clubs unless you stick them in the passenger footwell, can’t store any large objects that you can in a hatch or suv, low ride height (not good in winter with decent snowfall), expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, expensive to mod.

But they’re fun and look great, I’d like to own one at some point.

They’re actually amazingly practical. That frunk will hold a full size suitcase, with the trunk leftover. I had a Cayman as my only car for years, and only rented a truck when I had to take my motorcycle to track days.

6M G8 GXP. I had "only" a GT years ago and wanted one. I've had a couple Chevy SS sedans in 6M since, but the G8 imo looked great, and felt more "raw".

[-]

ausremi@reddit

I had to google as I recognised the G8. You know the history of these right? I grew up a 20 minute drive from the Holden Factory in Adelaide, Australia that made them. Sadly it got caught up in global consolidation and executive decisions. The base chassis Commodore was the most highly sold family car for years in Australia through the 90s and 00s.

The Pontiac G8 GXP was essentially a rebadged and mildly restyled version of the Australian-made Holden Commodore SS V but mechanically upgraded to match the flagship HSV Clubsport R8.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden

[-]

russsl8@reddit

Of course I know that the G8 was a VE Commodore and the 2015 Chevy SS I had was a VF 1 Commodore and the 2016 SS was a VF 2 Commodore! 😁

You Aussies sure knew how to build a great large RWD sedan and it's much too bad that GM did what they Did to Holden and Ford Australia.

One of the early Audi R8s with the V10.

The smooth look with the funny side panels behind the door was so cool. I have a lot of fond memories of using the car configurator on the Audi Website after beating Need For Speed Carbon and having to look up what the hell the end boss was driving and just falling in love with the colour schemes
