C’mon. Verstappen could have, and should have, known goddamn well that he was taking a line that was going to push Ocon into an untenable position.

Take a look at the angle of Verstappen’s wheels here. Note that he’s aiming well inside of the apex. He’s trying to block, not merely trying to defend the racing line.

It would look better in the root-beer brown of Steve McQueen’s Lusso:

My guess: Half of this design language is intended to create stampings that are difficult for Chinese automakers to mimic. They want it to be obvious which cars are authentic, expensive BMWs and which are copycats.

She brings such a refreshing honesty and clarity to policy debate. She’s smart and authentic, and she has a strong moral compass.

Yeah, this. The prior version was a *pretty* car. This ... looks like Fiat 124 with a body kit designed by the Civic Type R team.

The Chevy Avalanche / Escalade EXT was still selling 20k/year unit sales when GM discontinued it. It shared a platform with the Suburban, so I’m surprised that they couldn’t justify the business case at that sales level.

Already you have better ideas than Johann de Nysschen. I nominate you for CEO of Cadillac.

Jesus that’s horrible. Can you disconnect the door-open switch as a separate circuit, or is it baked into some multi-channel CANBUS sensor gizmo?

I’m not sure enough of these are transacting to even establish a market price. But I fully believe that they’ll catch up and maybe even surpass the E30 M3. So...if this one had less than 70k miles, $50k seems achievable. As it sits with >100k miles... Hmm.

So it’s basically an Italian Nissan Versa.

YouTube confirms this use case for the Speedtail (and also, it seems, the Aventador and every Ferrari made).

I think you can assume they test for the maximum temperature of the valet stand at the Burj Dubai, and the minimum temperature of the curbside pickup at Harrod’s in London. They know who their customers are.

OK, that’s fantastic.

I’m resisting the urge to see if anyone has made that. I would very much like to install that in my Tony Montana-grade Porsche 928.

An AMG-dipped 560SEC, and the 1980s Maserati Quattroporte, are the two cars that I thought of immediately.

^^^ He’s right, you know.

28 years old. Mercedes introduced it on the R129 SL in 1990.

Yeah, my first was also a Fox Body, with ... the 100-horsepower inline-6 and a 3-speed automatic. I timed it 0-60 at — no kidding — 23 seconds.

Yup. And I have to admit that I’d rather have the Lenovigator than the similarly-hued Frank Sinatra Edition Chrysler Imperial.
