Do new cars look to plasticky?

For the most part, yes. But, there are a few exceptions, like the new Bentley GT and Mulsanne, and the Aston Virage.

 

Very much so.

I was just in my friend's 2011 GTS and not even the full leather interior can conceal the cheap plasticky switch gear and door handles. It reminded me of Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, "Plastics".

 

Yes, they all do.

Some of them garnish it better, with leather, aluminum or wood or whatever (Aston Martin, for example, and some Audis), but weight savings and manufacturing costs have made plastics the rule. Porsche actually had the gall to charge for "aluminum look" trim in recent models.

 

They all have. It's aerodynamics and weight saving. Blame the Porsche 928 for starting us down the road to colored eggs.

Carbon Fibre IS plastic.

 

He's from Florida

He thinks silicon is real.

 

I'm from Vegas. Silicone IS real.

 

Yet there it looks plasticky.

 

Ok partially, its a composite material & the bonding agent is some sort of plasticky glue so you got me there

but the actual mats its made of are carbon based

 

LOL, no silicon is not real, its BETTER than the real thing

 

The Pagani is vulgar and hideous. It's like driving a juke box.

 

Ha! I'm going to steal that line

 

This is debatable

 

I'm on the same page. I don't get the hype. 10 cars a year is a kit car to me. Most are hideous.

 

What he said.

I will lease it from you.

 

Yup definitely. I call my BMW's playschool toys since they have so much plastic.

 

Have you driven a Pagani ?

For me the Zonda R is the ultimate ride. I'd take it over an FXX

 

I will sublet it from you.

 

Never driven a Pagani or anything close; my comment was regarding the cockpit environment, not the dynamics.

 

Geesh guys! It's copyrighted.....you can use it anytime......for a beer! Man, am I thirsty.

 

I'm more of a saline guy.

 

But what if it was painted white?
