Speaking of Model S, now that's a fast car. P100D Ludicrous Mode is scary, scary fast. Once you experience torque in quantities that feel like you're welded to the seat, your idea of fast changes.
I scheduled a Model S test drive with the Tesla dealer by my place in 2 weeks. I heard they use the P100D for demo drives....so hopefully I can get to experience that...by all accounts it seems insane.
What's crazy is that's basically a 4 door family sedan....now imagine what the new Roadster is capable of when it's a fully dedicated sport platform......it's not out of the question that the new Roadster could put up 720S numbers or better.....
Remind me why are we using fast & minivan in the same sentence?
The Town was on TV over the weekend. Great movie. This reminded me of that because the real-life robbers the movie was based on used the fastest minivans possible - mainly for all the cargo space needed for the loot. Pretty smart!

I've only ridden in one, driving it must be exhilarating.
900+ lb/ft to the wheels will do that for you. The thing wrecks dyno rollers.
i was driving the Big boss's X the other day. I didnt consider the acceleration fun ( look at the curve), not even a bit with my motion sickness. But i am sure most of the people would enjoy it
Not quite the same, but when I was working for the local Chevrolet dealer when in college, we had a customer bring in her brand new Equinox, claiming it made her carsick when she drove.
It was less than 50/50, but multiple of our techs also got carsick in it. Chevrolet flew a couple engineers out from Detroit & weeks later no resolution.
Turns out, the 4cyl Equinox (early 2nd gen) put out a frequency from the stereo to 'cancel out' the noise from the fuel pump (or fuel rail, can't recall), And this one was programmed wrong. GM bought it back & we sold it CPO.
I had no problem with it, but my good friend got a little carsick & we had a couple techs who didn't make it out of the parking lot in it.
Hmm, I wonder if there's are frequencies that can be played to negate motion sickness?
I know a few people who get bad motion sickness in the car, to the point where they prefer driving most of the time.
Funny enough, despite being an Asian woman my mom primarily taught me how to drive and that made me a really good driver. Any jerky movements would aggravate her motion sickness, so I had to learn how to drive smoothly from the very beginning.
But then I became annoyed when people don't drive smoothly...

I think the rear bulges on the new Supra is what probably isn't perfect? Again, I'm giving it time and I want to see it in person.
on the same boat... I think the front end is good and works and then you get to the back half and that’s where things fall apart.
You get a wide body version of this car and it could look hot - how about those Rocket bunny and LibertyWalk type of models, those could have some serious wow factor.

The bulgy nose is an oddity for me as well. Maybe it'll look better in person
