    Oh, I see.

    I understand the assumption that I live outside of the US, but I am typing this 14.1 miles from Detroit, Michigan.

    Yeah I'm honestly surprised it looks so good for their first time (I think) trying to enter the car industry. Looks pretty promising. The last time I remember a tech giant trying this was Apple releasing a bloated computer mouse and calling it a car, luckily they abandoned that...or at least I'm hoping they did because I'm sure that not even the biggest Apple fans would've brought that thing.

    I would've been fine with the massive kidney grills on the i4 (the EV) if they didn't bend it along with the front facia. It looks good on the 4 series though.

    it's insane how quickly duesenberg J prices went up. just 20 year later, they were selling for 50k all day, which even when adjusted for inflation is ridiculous.

    It's not a J, it's an A.

    Also,

    By 1959 a decent example could not be bought for less than $4,000, and an exceptionally fine specimen could approach $10,000. A record price of $12,000 had been paid for a Duesenberg J in a private sale that year. In 10 years' time, by 1969, a Model J could fetch anywhere between $20,000 and $75,000.

    Performance isn't even on that list.

    This is what's wrong with society. My, how the mighty have fallen.

    Yeah, I don't see performance either. A lot of people like performance cars.
