The only thing i found douchey is the golden spirit of ecstasy and mercedes swarovski crystal lights. The puddle lights is not douchey but useless option, the drift and burnout mode is not douchey to me if you do it on closed road or track or dragstrip(burnout mode). The exposed carbon fibre and teak decking is not douchey at all, they sure are cost ridiculously expensive but hey you’re buying a bugatti and a rolls royce you’d expect things to be expensive

Because any idiot will be able to get in the car and let the computer do all the work. Every show-off D-Bag will use it and proclaim to the world how much skill they have.

Love how when CTzens were asked to say which they thought were the douchiest options people argued that the clock in the Bentley was a beautiful timepiece and wasn’t at all douchey but now there has yet to be anyone to defend it…..

The crystals and golden spirit of ecstasy are the douche ones here, IMO. I’m sure they’ll have plenty of customers in Dubai, however.

Though, to me, the absolute pinnacle of “douchebag” is the Focus RS’ drift mode. People complain that the Nissan GT-R drives itself because its a computer on wheels (which is untrue), but the Drift mode on the RS takes the absolute p**s because it literally does everything for you - you just have to initiate the drift.

Every idiot (who drives about as well as a liquored up white girl from Santa Monica) will hit the drift button and proceed to use it as an excuse to show off how “good” a driver they are and use it to constantly showboat and rain on everyone’s parade. I vote we rename the drift mode the “that guy” button. At least the line-lock on the Mustang actually has a specific use (drag racing) so I can forgive that.

Not a fan of drift mode at all - good tech I’m sure but not a fan.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one who realized what the word douch implies. Also.. isn’t drift mode standard on the RS? if it’s not an option why the hell is it on the list.

If this is true then how come half of the reviewers couldn’t do a drift or even a proper donut with the car in drift mode? All drift mode does is tell the car to send most of the power to the outside, rear tire to initiate over steer.

Whats wrong with exposed Carbon Fibre? Exposed Carbon Fibre is way more difficult to do than painted Carbon Fibre as it requires A LOT of precision and accuracy to align all the weaves of Carbon threads on every single panel. To do that with a car that has curvaceous body makes it even more difficult. Even Pagani and Koenigsegg charge $150,000 for exposed Carbon Fibre. So it’s not douchy but it’s engineer’s pride.

People must think that carbon fiber is perfect always and made with a magic machine or something…

I find it funny that everyone loves drifting but hates a specific “drift mode”

There’s nothing wrong with drift mode and all cars should have a burnout mode

But whatever happened to driver skill? Now, the world is going to be filled with Ken Block-wantabes (geddit? There’s a pun in there) drifting all over the place, and not improving their skill level because they’ve got a big ‘ol computer helping them.

I’m trying to figure it out too. I think it is one of the coolest things a car can have.

Cranking your arm to start the car yourself is more satisfying than pushing a button and getting a computer to do it. (Analogue and mechanical > Electric and futuristic.) Each to their own though.
