You couldn’t legally make a forward control car anymore because of crash protection regs and one of the reasons VW tried and failed several times to bring a modern microbus concept to market was packaging, and a true spacious one-box microbus replacement will almost certainly be an EV.

What ICE SUV has the wheelbase of an Audi Q5 but the internal dimensions of an Audi Q7? That kind of thing may not matter in the US, but it matters a lot in Europe.

I feel exactly the opposite. Why do I want an EV to have the same proportions as an ICE car? Batteries create all kinds of packaging benefits and this (and the Merc that came out last week) waste that opportunity. The iPace gives genuine packaging benefits, this is just a very quiet Q5. 

I seem to remember when the current gen Nissan Pulsar came out a lot of the UK motoring press expressing bafflement as to why Nissan even bothered. They sell the Qashqai in higher volumes at higher margins than any mid-size hatch they’ve ever offered in Europe. You’d have to be a pretty motivated Pulsar fan to walk…

I watched it again the other day; the CGI has not held up well, in fact it’s amazing this was made the same year as Iron Man. The movie itself is...fine, and I would have liked to see Tim Blake Nelson make another appearance in the MCU as The Leader at some point (which is guess is pretty unlikely, especially as he’s W…

No. 

Check out Andy Murray’s personal history (especially his school days) and you might understand why he has a particular distaste for guns and their free availability. 

Ugh. One word. Thor. Go away with your nonsense about Cultural appropriation. Its bollocks. 

Except its only “speeding” because the limit is arbitrary, as this article points out. Low speed limits in built up areas, by schools etc? Fill your boots, make them lower even. But 55 on an open Interstate? Its moronic, and as this article also points out, has nothing to do with safety.

Sounded like a Cork man to me .

Says who? There are practical reasons for roles being gender or race specific, but sexuality? Nonsense. Are you really claiming that gay actors should only play gay roles? Because I’d imagine the ones that actually want to work for a living would fervently disagree. 

Actress acting in role that isn’t the person she is shock. Film at 11. 

It looks strangely fat compared to the lithe 570. Exhausts are cool though.

No, they couldn’t. There wasn’t any way to completely defeat the RAF with the numbers they had, and they didn’t have enough aircraft to cover the landing barges from the Royal Navy. Sea Lion was always an unworkable idea.

Is it me or is there a distinct lack of Alfa Romeo on this list?

Why are people asking an actor to defend his character? Why is an actor defending his character? Pretty sure he wasn’t ad-libbing losing his shit.

God this shit never ends. Who the fuck cares? Four door coupes are a thing, four door shooting brakes are a thing. The war is over. You lost. Ze Germans won. Go home.

What are you talking about? Every person with an Irish passport is entitled to vote, but Ireland doesn’t have postal votes for referenda, so people get on the plane. They did in numbers for the gay marriage vote as well.

Once you reach Iceland you’re in “European Budget Airline Land” (EasyJet, Norwegian etc. fly from there), so in practical terms its a decent jumping off point for the rest of Europe if you’re on a budget.

Yes, and 8 months for a 67 year old committing a “victimless” crime when a first time burglar would probably get probation, seems excessive.
