Gemini - GT86 / BRZ?

Stars are exactly how we got ourselves into this mess!

For anyone who might be wondering, this was a pretty good example of the wheel hop in action on a previous gen ‘22 tester with LSD (~4m:28s):

The biggest complaint from those who have driven the update seems to be less about the the UI itself and more about the touch sensitive climate control buttons just below the screen. There’s a natural tendency to rest a thumb there to help stabilize the screen poking, which results in constant accidental activation.

“Razor Scooter with a seat and room for twelve burgers” is a pretty strong argument for a lot of people, honestly.

Totally legit. Swearsies.

This popped up a few weeks ago and is an entertaining take on the Motocompacto. Looks like an absolute blast to tool around on, but they’re still pretty heavy and awkward. Still, tiny wheels entertaining.

Mate Rimac’s passion for the engineering behind the Tourbillion is certainly infectious, too (as it is with his Rimac productions). Even the typically boisterous Mat Watson ends up listening quietly and intently when he speaks about the design choices that went into it.

I’m firmly of the opinion that Rory Carroll has completely checked out at this point.

They’ve always been fun as hell.

I’ve solved your mystery:

I’m going to assume Countervailing Duties (tarrifs) on Chinese produced vehicles imported to the EU. They range by manufacturer, from ~17% (BYD) to 38% (SAIC) and potentially higher, depending on how compliant they are; and presumably, the ambient temperature and prevailing wind on the day of assignment may also…

Mouth breathing hangnails are already at it:

I would assume that 99% of bikini barista coffee shops justifiably have a hammer, pepper spray and/or a firearm within arm’s reach, because people can’t behave.

That there are 28 of them makes a difference, too. They are undoubtedly special cars, but not distinctly unique. This fire is unfortunate.

Zero per month, that’s the cool part. They’re all self insured.

They really are excellent, especially in person. Saw one the other day and I absolutely did the stare back as I walked past.

That’s a really different direction from the traditional Panda, but I do kind of love it.

I’ve really been hankering for a return of the Jeepster.
