I had one as a loaner once. Reminded me of an Isuzu Vehicross, but without the fangs, which kinda defeats the point. I don’t miss it.

Maybe a Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet would be a better comparison, but I imagine any model hired to stand next to one would have too much dignity to allow the pictures to survive for very long.

Let’s see how this year’s E3 goes before we conclude that Microsoft seriously sees PCs and consoles as equals under the Xbox brand. So far, there’s still quite a bit of:

Mini just started using “pure” BMW engines in the past year or so. The first BMW-era Minis shared engines with Chrysler and Hyundai, and the 2nd generation with Peugeot and Citroen.

As to how exactly the Grand Coupe body will work is still a mystery. It could be a traditional four-door similar to the smaller 4 and 6 Series GC, or BMW may choose a more radical direction and go with a five-door lift-back version, as Autocar claims some BMW officials want:

A wise man once said, “You come at the king, you best not miss.” Hyundai’s driving dynamics have always been “not quite sorted” at best, and they have a Genesis 3-series competitor in the pipeline. Does this Genesis/G80/whatever bode well for the brand’s future?

No, it’s pit lane traffic, and he shouldn’t assume that there’s none behind him when there’s plenty in front of him. Simple situational awareness should have told him not to jump the fast lane without a spotter explicitly telling him both lanes were clear.

Nah, I put that one on Power. He’s that asshat who goes straight from the on-ramp to the fast lane when merging onto an interstate.

If it was the regular season, they might call a machete to the groin, but they let that kind of stuff go in the playoffs.

Maybe if some 19th century city planner had the epiphany that the two road grids that run parallel to the rivers should align where they meet at Liberty Avenue, downtown traffic might not be the near catastrophe it is today... Oh, who am I kidding. The Mayor would just slap down more bike lanes without doing any…

Good news: He finally figured out that his playoff beard would look better if he got a one month head start.

True. Anytime Nissan is dominating the news, this daily should be renamed “Continuously Variable Morning”.

Psst, should we tell him that the Countryman is about 6" shorter than a Golf?

Mini 3-door hardtop: 151.1 in overall length, 98.2 in wheelbase

They’re not immune to the “cheap gas == everybody buys crossovers” trend the entire industry has been on lately, so having the Countryman, a crossover that’s smaller than a 3-door Golf, is working out pretty well for them right now.

Christ, what an asshole.

When CERN constructed the Large Hadron Collider, there was a fear that the high-energy particle collisions the researchers were trying to produce would create a singularity that would swallow the Earth. Those fears were unfounded because the mass of the particles involved would be orders of magnitude too small to…

It’s probably easier to put this in terms of what must happen for Tottenham to win, keeping in mind that Leicester cannot win any match, and Tottenham holds the tiebreaker:

The company’s decline comes in the wake of a haphazard iPhone SE launch earlier this year and iPhone 6 Plus release last year.

Right. Brandon Dubinsky cross-checking Crosby in two different vertebrae was the first time a hit on Crosby resulted in a suspension, but tell me more about how the NHL protects its superstars.
