Looks like a Nokia cell phone to me.

I think someone's getting to be a bit literal and narrow in their thinking. For whatever reason, Csere has taken a tangent of counting barrels instead of the topic, which is reducing the price at the pump. Both politicians are trying to appeal to voters hurting at the pump, not trying to solve long-term supply.

Sadly, I imagine they'll actually go with something like "Nike Enviro Hybrid Habitat" or "NEHH" for short ... which is what most people (over the age of 15) will say when they see it.

"Just get out of the way"

@splynncryth: Perhaps you're over-thinking this car. It's designed to go the first 30% of the objective, not 95% or better. If you were tasked with the engineering of a car that could drive around town and park outside the supermarket, that's one thing, but the movie car is specc'ed to be built "affordably" (say…

video?!

@Captain Slow and his Flying Washing Machine: The story in the Sun did not "allege" a four car demolition derby that this Jalopnik entry would use to tease another deluge of clicks out of its RSS advertising revenue stream. The paper showed video, photos and spoke about _one_ Gallardo (which it calls a Murcielago.)

Okay, is there someone new blogging at Jalopnik with a reading disability?

I'm afraid it's starting to become undeniable that the Panamera will turn out as ugly as the early spy shots suggested. It's becoming impossible to deny the grotesque, misshapen form — even if Porsche has the most perfectly proportion posterior hiding away for this car (and remember, this is the same designers…

The final actual mpg?

I've been thinking about this car a bit. I have to say, it's really very well done. Of course it's borderline grotesque, but then again, so is "Il Monstro" with the birthright of venerable designers intending to create a shocking and unprecedented car design.

Perfection, or rather a thing that approaches perfection to a greater extent than most any other production car in history, would be the Porsche 993 Turbo circa 1996-1997.

Why make an SUV in FWD?

If I can give the El Camino a facelift from the original ute, I think it would be a winner:

Paging Mr Peugeot to the white courtesy phone: your design team is receiving flattery in the "imitation" form.

@schoolpsych: "All that wood and no back seat." : )

That woman is an imbecile!

The video is boring (and despite the "spin" from the Dunno camp, I think Danica behaved a helluva lot better than in of her previous low moments.)

Greg Kinnear used to annoy the potatoes out of me until "Stuck on You" movie with Matt Damon. I think that's when he found his pace and he's been unstoppable since.

This is no doubt a disguised Prius body (they haven't even removed the oval Toyota badges from the hood or trunk. The door handles appear to have been disguised as "pull up" though they're still the same size and outline as the "bucket handle" type on the Prius. The rear window shape, antenna position, rear wiper…
