Affirmative.

I've never driven any of the other cars showcased here. I have some knowledge of their reputation and heritage though. Read I cannot comment on their attributes. First, I consider it a compliment on the world-class stage to be chosen as a contender in the speed tests. Second, I've never owned another vehicle that has given me so much pleasure. EVERY single time getting inside and settling in the seat, even before ignition, is like letting out a deep breath of satisfaction with this masterpiece. That feeling hasn't diminished one iota after 3+ months of ownership.

love my LC. After coming from 3 Porsche Carrera Ss I do not miss the P at all. Comfort wins out over speed to me...here in CA its hard to use speed w/o getting popped. L is plenty fast.

There is so much more that factors into the overall happiness and satisfaction with an automobile besides the 0-60 MPH/ 1/4 Mi parameters. I do readily admit that the numbers can be highly impressive yet not necessarily leading to a heightened ownership experience in real world day to day usage. I really don’t know how one can honestly utilize the enormous speed capabilities on public roads (I’m referring to the USA). Nonetheless, to each their own and whatever makes one happy.

So along about 2:40 she tries to explain a feature of the hood designed to reduce the impact of hitting a pedestrian. I've heard of this before but never understood how it works. I mean does the hood pop up to grab the corpse between engine and hood or what?

You are always on top of things. Very interesting video appreciated. Never knew I was riding around with explosives up front. $11,500 going to make me extra careful pulling forward in a parallel-park.
