You know, I don't seem to have the problems you do with diesel emissions here in Europe. Yes, I live in Europe, too. But I've also lived in America. I know that a large number of people who use their trucks for work that isn't seriously heavy duty (construction, towing stupidly heavy things, etc.) buy something…

Good looking, except for the front which is kind of boring.

Or you could just not buy the stupid F150 and get something sensible instead. Seriously, I'd bet that 90 percent of truck owners in America would do just as well with some small diesel crossover that's twice as efficient, nearly as practical, and won't case your eyes to bleed or your neighbours to assume that you have…

Just buy a diesel. Silly Americans.

BMW is losing it. Their cars are becoming so good they're boring. Take the 435i. Great, great car. Ugly interior, blank exterior. Very capable chassis and engine, but feels slow, because it's so dull and so lifeless.

Mr. Callum, I'd like firstly to say that I'm a great fan of your work. As I'm an automotive engineering student, I'm interested to know how much of the engineering of the car do you, as a designer and artist, get involved with. Could someone with an automotive engineering degree find himself working in the design…

The styling inside and out looks really dull to me.

Even better? It's hideous! I can't find one good thing to look at. This thing actually makes me physically recoil.

Shots? I thought heroin was illegal?

That is magnificent. I love that they've taken an iconic symbol of Detroit culture and used it to emphasize their Detroitness. Really good marketing there.

This is like asking what the greatest ever Geneva reveal was. Too many to pick from!

That's bloody hideous. I hope never to see one in person, I might vomit.

Called it.

You owe me a new pair of pants.

Cheers. I'd argue that we don't know what it is. It could be automatic, but it's just as likely that it isn't.

What's your point? CVTs can come with flappy paddles, as does the manual 'Vette. Teh paddles don't dictate the gearbox.

I understand autos in some cars, but a slushbox in a 620 bhp American track car? If it's all about going fast, it would have a dual clutch. If it's about fun and purity, then it would have a manual. This is a hardcore car, it needs a hardcore gearbox, not a torque converter.

Oh, you don't want to know. So I'll tell you anyway. First, I'm going to go outside in my pants and howl at the moon. Then I'm going to down a bottle of Vodka and throw a brick at the nearest bush. Finally, I'm going to walk down to the nearest Marks and Spencer and tell the fittest bird there that the Corvette is…

I have a hunch which is probably wrong. They took a photo of the DCT model, then 'shopped a manual shift know into it so people don't know that the DCT is coming. The shift boot looks very wrong for a manual, but perfect for a DCT or Automatic. Add that to the missing pedal and Park signalling, and it's possible that…

Is that an automatic? It had better not be.
