Did German car designers or marketing departments all come to a collective decision that no sporty car shall forewith be designed with an absence of awkward fender vents? What happened to simple, clean designs? I'm looking at you M4 coupe.

For all the crap that Bahar got, especially from this site, I think the world would have been a better place if these concepts had been realized. I liked the Elise concept. I liked the Esprit concept. I liked the Elan concept .... not so much on the other one.

... and a significant percent of the guns used in Chicago crime come from Mississippi, which has incredibly lax gun laws. People drive down to MS, buy guns, and sell them out of their trunk in Chi-Town. Thanks Mississippi! - a Chicagoan

I see this illogical argument all over the internet. My usual response is, "Exactly! This is why drugs should all be legal!" The ultimate extension of this ridiculous argument is that there should be no laws at all, because criminals don't follow them.

I would hope so, given that the base price of the JCW is 33% higher. A completely loaded Abarth is still ~5k less than a base JCW. With your logic, I would say that an STI eats JCW Minis.

Please don't ever call anything Steam Punk again. Let that trend die a peaceful death.

I agree with you, but I think I'm turning into a grumpy old man. This video reminds me of the stupid iPhone smashing videos that were all the rage when the iPhone first came out. On the other hand, they can do whatever they want.

Travis, this is a terrible, terrible headline. These types of headlines perpetuate the misplaced but common ethos that science is this monolithic thing and every new study represents ALL of "THE SCIENCE". I guess that a headline that said, "A handful of scientists studied bicycle physics, couldn't figure it out, moved…

An Aventador is style first, a P1 is function first, but no one in Miami buys a supercar for function first. Black is stylistically lazy. It's the style choice you make because you have no style. When you don't want to be bothered with choosing a color, you choose black. It's the equivalent of painting all of your…

No. The murdered out look makes even less sense on supercars. First, it's tacky. Second, it hides the lines and details of a car, and a car like an Aventador has so many nice details. Don't hide them. A supercar is all about flash. Black is the color you pick when you don't want to be noticed. Why buy a supercar if…

So now it's not a real car either? You don't stop do you? I'm giving you shit because your comment is the quintessential "internet expert" post. There are professional race car drivers, formula one engineers, OEM shock engineers, MIT PhD's etc, etc who read and frequent Jalopnik. Whoever decided to mount the shocks…

Ballsy. You also assume that the factory press demonstrator was just built by some guy following an instruction manual, and that whoever wrote the instructions didn't think of this either. Bold. The fact that you learned it on a forum tells me all I need to know.

I like how you assumed that they hadn't thought of that. Ballsy. "Hey Caterham engineers who have been fine tuning the same car for 50 years. Your shocks are on upside down."

I'm not aware of that ever being the policy in GT Academy, plus I have no idea where you're going with this since the difference between top 10% and top 10 is massive. I've never seen times in the top ten tie. As the previous poster said, "fast out of the gate" is a meaningless thing to say, you're either in the…

I'll just add another annotation right here, since it's already unusable. This format is useless. PLEASE add a list in the main post again. Does Gawker Media have anyone who knows how to do UX/UI? No, you don't. Whoever you think does it now. Fire them.

You're not clever. Only Slack-Jawed Yokels make the argument you're trying to imply. Context is worth 80 IQ points. Gain it.

It was funny. Sounds like someone's a little touchy about the death of manuals.

Well, you can't order custom Acuras anyway, so that would not have been an option.

Weren't they trying to sex her up for the sponsorship dollars a few years back. That sure didn't last.
