Loved the dig at hipsters. God I hate hipsters.

Driving a car with a 10 Speed Automatic is like being married for 20 years, you never want to take it for a spin, and those times that you do, you will never be satisfied.

(Not to mention the fact that it wont ever be able to make up its mind)

Hey humbada Bob do a stupendicle show once more, humbada dat?



[FineLinePimpin]

Lotus is getting further and further away from the formula they were first built on...but like everything else in the auto world guess it had to happen eventually, sad...but maybe in some small way they can get back to be lotus instead of a toyota powered luxo kit car..i.e. the evora..i dont care how it drives thats what it is to me. Oh and the 10spd trans for better fuel economy..how much is that going to cost for 2mpg on the highway? Knock 250lbs out of the car for the same effect.

@gogmorgoaway I also have a van with a 3-speed auto. Power delivery through each gear is smooth, there's a decent amount of it, and it only shifts once before 60. It's 27 years old, and averages *better* mpg than the EPA combined rating for a similarly equipped *new* van from the same manufacturer, but with a six-speed. WTF would I want 10 for?
