      Obviously, I'll never own one of these, and my opinions about them are admittedly irrelevant. But, my thoughts on the F80 are very conflicted. They're absurdly expensive, simultaneously very good looking/ugly (I honestly cant tell, but i agree with Chris's comparison to the Diablo), and I'm still not sure about their styling direction since parting ways with Pininfarina. I'm also not so sure about the powerplant. The V6, is cool, and techy, and seems very effective in its configuration with the turbos and electrics, but it's kinda like the 2026 F1 cars.....its just....not....right. I can't help but compare this to the Nissan "R35" GT-R when it came out, and Jeremy Clarkson compared it to a 'pocket calculator', saying it was just too easy, like playing a videogame and lacked the soul, drama, or emotion of a raw, mechanical performance experience. It is also however, a brilliant feat of engineering.

            2026 Porsche 911 Carrera T “Woody”

            “Inspired by Toy Story’s beloved cowboy, this one-off 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera T features one of the most unique paint treatments ever applied to a 911.

            Developed exclusively for the project, the custom finish was engineered to replicate the look and texture of worn denim, complete with visible fabric-like detailing that captures the character of Woody’s iconic blue jeans. The effect is achieved by blending Golf Blue and White pigments into the primary Dark Sea Blue paint, creating a rich, weathered appearance that evokes years of adventure.”

                @SourPower I love that and hate it at the same time. LOL The finish is a neat concept and it looks cool. It's well done but i cant help but see it as a high-end fauxtina, which always bothers me as unauthentic, and a Toy Story Woody themed German sports car is just nonsense to me. Maybe it would look better on a '77 Trans Am or something?

                    @Giles Thats super cool. I've been seeing a bunch of these japanese right hand drive micro-trucks popping up around the area under our 25 year exemption import rule. I was behind one last weekend in a drive-thru and it really confused the staff there.

                          @Giles that is what is referred to as a kei truck, right?

                              I saw a kei Honda Beat from the 90s parked next to my tundra and thought it’d fit nicely in the short bed….if only I had some ramps

                                The AMG version of the Mercedes CLA EV sounds like it's going to be suitably bonkers.
