Ryan McBeth has done a fairly succinct video on it.

It’s very high level and skips a lot of nuance, but you get the idea.

Yep, but to a casual observer they wouldn’t make that connection, assuming it was just a diesel 500.

The correlation between aftershave and a small Italian people’s car isn’t exactly obvious 😉

I’m of the opinion that COVID is no longer news worthy beyond the minority it impacts. No different to the flu or various other low risk (to the vast majority) common community transmitted illnesses. It just is now. We don’t get news articles written and publicised at this level for a new flu variant or vaccine, so I don’t see the point for COVID.

Edit: some good discussion in the responses to this. But also some utterly dog shit ad hominem and trying to put words in my mouth. If only they bothered to actually read what I wrote.

Assuming the suspension wasn’t also changed. Given that it’s been dropped, I assume that it has.

That said, 22inch rims and coilovers are going to be a horrific ride regardless.

All that money and work to make it look good on a picture. Zero consideration as to the enjoyment 9f driving it. With very few exceptions, car were made to be driven, so drive them.
