This. I completely agree with you. IFF they did all that. I will reserve final judgement for the first time I get to sit in it. Thanks for the perspective.

Though I agree with your analysis, I disagree that it couldn’t have been implemented somehow. The 2016 Malibu has an inset hood and it costs many thousands less. The fix for the issues you describe could have been moving the cut lines to the fenders (like on the Malibu). The front fascia would then have been stretched…

The front end has lost some character. Genuine, sculpted character that I think could have been easily saved. The inset hood, the recessed headlights, the less defined lower air dam, the taller looking and less pointed overall front end. I feel like the concept to production transition was excellent, however, I didn’t…

This whole angle reminds me of the newest XC90. And I hate to the that guy that says that. I know design is incredibly hard but that was the firs thing I thought of with this picture.

I have never been a Honda guy. I like Chevrolet’s. I’m biased as I work for a Chevy dealer. Having said that, I like this. If they can keep a mid grade truck priced similarly or lower than a comparable Colorado, I would be very interested. Though, I’m not all that sure what the current Ridgeline goes for. I assume…

Dare I say, it’s attractive. I like it.

A weird last gen 9-5 vibe here with a touch of Chrysler in the front (and from this angle, the greenhouse.) So far, I really dig it.

Sad to see the recessed hood of the concept has been ditched in favor of a hood that goes all the way to the headlights. I’m sure there is a good reason for it. I don’t see one but I’m sure there is one. Even the base 2016 Malibu has a recessed hood (full fascia). Not saying that it’s the only way to build a car, it’s…

Encore in drag.

You had me there for a minute. I bet you woke up in a semi-panic. I know I would have. I had a dream once where someone gave me a Kia Sephia. Ooph. No.

Is this real life? Did this actually happen to you? If so, you poor thing! No excuse for landau tops. None. (My 1988 Lincoln Town Car with a factory half carriage roof excepting. And yes, I know that’s hypocritcal.)

This is Jalopnik Gold right here.

I cannot stand Aston Martin steering wheels from this time period. Uninspired. Looks so annonymous.

I know fuel economy dictates a certain shape, however, I see a lot of last gen Volt (though much better in execution it seems here) in this shape. Not the details, just the shape and proportions.

Kind of agree with Frawley. Also, where do you have 50 pounds to lose? I’m bigger than you and have maybe 35.

My fire truck probably won’t endanger you but it’s definitely absurd! Good video. Thoroughly entertaining as always. Also, I dig C6’s.

There’s also a fridge and a bar, all still in a sleek, clinical white that I’m sure can be rapidly cleaned of hooker’s blood when some above-the-law billionaire decides to see what it feels like to kill.

I found this to be a highly productive endeavor, although my girlfriend disagreed.

For a company that has alluded more than once to not be a luxury marke, this type of thing seems awfully luxury exclusive. Not saying it’s a bad thing, however, don’t pretend you’re making the car of the people when you keep it this exclusive. Just my .02.
