Jeep Big Horn. Works on many levels. 

“Chief” would still be associated with indigenous people

So its about “respect” is it? Not money? Suuuuuure. Retrospective trademarking effectively. I’m sure the people of Turin and Capri and Rome, and Ibiza and and and infinitum will all be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospective payouts. Maybe we can find a few Ninjas and Samurai to pay off while we’re at it. I…

Are Red Bull obligated to supply other teams now? 

E-Tron production numbers are capped anyway, so they’ll sell all they can make for the time being.

Their SUV will be a Volvo XC60 with decent handling. What the price point will be is a whole other question, but top spec XC60s aren’t cheap either, so I’d kiss goodbye to the idea of a 50K car.

I watched loads of American shows growing up in the UK; Bewitched, Car 54, The Munsters, Partridge Family (although weirdly not the Brady Bunch from memory); they used to be summer holidays filler TV and then later on Channel 4 went through a nostalgia trip when these were always on on Friday evenings after The Tube,…

US shows like Bewitched were syndicated widely; I remember watching an episode dubbed into Russian about 15 years ago, and I’ve definitely watched a lot of old US TV in Latin America. Sure, the Chinese market would be an issue, but is D+ even in China yet?

I’m actually quite shocked that Toyota would let the Land Cruiser just die without a ready replacement. Is this just in the US, or everywhere? Because they’re ubiquitous in the Middle East, Central Asia and especially Australia.

Velar is a lovely design. I quite like the Audi Q8 as well. 

The word you’re looking for is “Europeans”. A hybrid Bentley is essential if they want to sell them to people living in London or other cities with Ultra-Low Emission Zones. Plus there’s an increasing social pariah issue as well.

Yup. Its absolute fucking nonsense. The thing that’s most disturbing is I’ve already seen questions on Quora and elsewhere of the “oh I didn’t realize Britain was that diverse in the 18th century” variety, which is dangerously misleading. Colour blind casting of “historical” dramas at best is straight up lying, and at…

I’m looking forward to some actual choice in electric cars; BMW i4 (even with the grille), Rivian, Polestar, Audi e-Tron, and most of all the Taycan Sport Turismo. Having seen the regular Taycan and liked it a lot, this is a whole other level of cool. 

#1. Please don’t be wilfully stupid.

There’s nothing wrong with incentives, if they’re used properly and are time-boxed. The problem in the US isn’t the incentives per se, its the toxic lobbyist and corporate political contribution culture that ensures once you have them, politicians are incentivized to keep them. The US suffers from regulatory capture…

It’s difficult to imagine who Tesla would merge with, partially because of that overblown stock price. Apple? Alphabet? I can’t see it being another car maker because Tesla has the luxury of not having to drag around ICE legacy for the next decade or two (not to mention pension liabilities); shackling themselves to a…

I was following a Taycan last night, on an Irish suburban road (pretty much the same as the UK) and it didn’t seem that big. Definitely smaller than a Model S and there are absolutely bloody loads of those around here. I will admit it was shockingly fast though.

Mediocre white manhood at it’s non-finest

Nah. Selective memory at work there. Walter da Silva got loads of shit for the full frame grille at the time.

In my opinion, the Polish should have called in a British bomb squad to deal with it. Their country left a goddamn bomb down there, and let’s be honest, this could’ve been one of the easier messes on the docket for the former empire to clean up.
