First one I’ve seen in the wild- not as much presence as you’d think, a bit smaller than you’d think, and not nearly as bad looking as photos led me to believe. Too cold today to take more than a quick shot, but we needed stuff from Fairway.

Curbed wheel and wheel well molding already falling off. Rough life for that thing.

Good eye ... front wheel? And that’s something - treating a $250K SUV like it’s an old Tahoe.

Not as good w/ editing software as I used to be, but wow - and wafflesnfalafel? That has to be an expensive piece.

Don’t forget this trim piece.

Ouch, and the chipping on the rear wheel. That’s just sad.

I’ve only seen one twice, the first was a camo’d test car and then one down by the W hotel a few weeks ago. If they are reliable they would be a good depreciation buy.

I’d say they’re about as reliable as a Phaeton - if you keep them up, they’ll not let you down. That said, yeah, if I could pick one of those up in 2 years for 90 grand (assuming I needed a car) that would be a sweet ride. Too cold to take more photos, but that interior looked like a nice place to spend time.

I imagined these would be all over Manhattan, in the financial district anyway, given this is the new Belle Epoque and that sector is taking so much.

I’ve seen a few of these in the PNW, even one on a flatbed truck (I hope it was parked illegally rather than broken, as the Marie Antoinette or money laundering con who parked it would be pretty miffed to find their car missing).

Live UWS and work midtown east, so I haven’t been to FiDi at all this year (or last much, come to think of it) ... don’t see much interesting iron up here, but then again I don’t get out much.
