Check your units, or ask your ‘very clever engineer’. The tradeoff of going as fast as an F1 car is a high amount of required energy. The actual efficiency of the engine has nothing to do with that.

‘gear heads love power’. Even if it were true, it doesn’t mean ‘gear heads only love power’. I like cars. I like unique cars. Cars that distinguish themselves with pedigree, or design, or technology, or style, or social significance, or driver involvement. Power doesn’t really register as a primary aspect on which I…

“The vast majority” could’ve bought RX7's, Avantimes, big Citroëns, Alfa Romeo’s, and Saabs. But they didn’t. Clearly the vast majority shouldn’t be trusted when it comes to cars.

Yeah, but sometimes, my favorite corner on the commute is free (tight 180 degree, one way, good visibility, a challenge to take at 30mph), and I can try to go for a double heel-toe downshift and nail that corner.

For the TL;DR crowd

If I had a hernia I’d still would want to drive a 43 year old Ferrari. So by that metric, your car is the most comfortable car imagineable.

Raphael, if you read this, I like your photos. They aren’t perfect, but they are nice, and they are just different enough to make you look twice.

Bugatti is a proud French manufacturer and as such does not give a single merde about what the less well-governed parts of the world think of the safety of their glorious creations.

People buy them because they look like they can go offroad, regardless of any actual offroad prowess.

they’ve taken Alec Issigonias’ timeless space-maximizing design and made every part you can touch or use or smell or look at as good as it can possibly be.

Yes. A thousand times yes. You should definitely be thinking in problems, especially in the comment section of an article that is about finding creative ways to overcome problems.

Oh get off your high horse. If ageism really mattered to you you’d do better to find all the comments ‘minivans aren’t cool because our parents drove them’ to flaunt your tolerance.

Towing and handling is mutually exclusive anyway.

“I don’t give a fuck” followed 4 zillion pages of reasons why you bought it.

My parents had Renault Espaces and a Ford Windstar for a while. That’s what I’d get if I needed the space. SUV’s are compromised vehicles. Inner to outer volume ratios are shit compared to purpose-built minivans. And the new Espace is a handsome car.

Easier to get in and out of is an argument for old people. Old people aren’t cool, and neither are cars that are easy to get in and out of.

Stopped reading at ‘cat delete’. That shit is for wankers. You want to make power, fine. But you don’t have to be a dick about it.

Essentially, the mosquito is able to make its wing do two things at once by not rotating the whole wing. The rotation starts near the body and makes its way toward the tip. 

Could be worse

The steering rack is electric and feels as light as you would expect from a crossover. It becomes easier to turn the wheel at lower speeds for ease of use. That being said, the steering wasn’t distractingly numb, and the steering column and dashboard on the driver’s side were even designed to allow ample room for the…
