@ccc40821: Perhaps UGK put it best...

This video holds a special place in my heart, since I learned to water ski behind a diesel Chevy Silverado.

@simon_C: As Pete said a trackhoe is a form of transportation, and a lot more fun to drive than any of the current hybrids.

Good lookin' car.

@dangle21: The people in the background made it for me. The confused and offended looks are classic.

Being unique and interesting does turn a lot of people away, the ones that want things predigested so they don't have to think and that's fine the world needs those news sources too. But someone has to set trends, and those people are the enthusiast.

@JayP71's new car is worth 5 jalop points: I think that's implicit in what Ray was saying. The examples he gave were the biggest and flashiest, but Jalopnik has always been about the most interesting and unique.

@Mike Serebrennikov: That's like a Prius, a Panamera and a CTS-coupe mash up. Funny thing is that it probably predates all of them.

@JC Whitless: You are decoding too much of the Halopneek mystery! They are gonna turn your into mush and feed you back to the rest of us...

@FromaBuick6: Damn, I think you're right. If it was RWD or AWD they'd be screaming that fact from the roof tops.

@JC Whitless: I got passed by two of those cars last night in Dallas at 4:15am on my way back from Taos, NM, the second was branded white on white with "Air Heads". I thought I was seeing things, thanks for confirming my day-mare.

@alexander_the_car_salamander: It ended with a Hummer?

@Fast_Nel: That's gonna hurt...

I view not being able to carry people in the back as a feature, not an issue.

@RuBBa_cHiKiN: Rollin' in my Lada, ridin' Spetsnaz: I almost said that too, but then I remembered there was Honda Civic Shooting Brake. That particular snow modeled model has a great looking roof line.

@Rust-MyEnemy: As I've said before here, you shouldn't worry about Mini, this is a natural life cycle of every, er, boutique car company. It's troubling to watch, like a vagina being distorted by child birth, but perfectly natural. Allow me to elaborate.

@Fast_Nel: Step 1: Buy a streetable, rear engine, rear wheel drive, race car with DOT race tires.

@imag: God dammit. I never noticed that before! Now I can't stop staring at it and the beak is dominating the whole car, like Megan Fox's "toe thumbs". You have ruined the Zonda for me.

@Quattro-luvr: Yabba-dabba-dooooo!

I may have, at some point in High School, allegedly put a supposed hood-scoop, possibly from JC-Whitney, on Saturn. But I'll deny it till the day I die!
