Does it look like that idiot can even pronounce Angela Merkel? Just another stupid entitled person born in America....

You’re leaving out a lot. Mainly that they built a car based on a set of rules that was changed arbitrarily by the FIA after they were deep into development (using another powertrain, even, and with support of a major manufacturer). Not having enough money to switch they were still there for the beginning of Hypercar…

I’ve been around Jalopnik long enough to have seen how you all were once Glickenhaus supporters, how he was nice enough to give Jalopnik a lot of access. Nowadays it seems most posts about them here are unnecessary “unfare” criticisms when the news cycle is slow. It’s a shame. He must have stepped on someone’s toe or…

MAserati Birdcage from 2003. Seriously pretty and cool.

Amazing to me how there are still tournaments promising unaffordable (to them) prizes for holes in one. Just promise something cheaper like a TV, people will still enter the tournament.

It’s a fake 250 GTO entered by a man who owns a real one but is no longer nuts enough to race it.

Original batteries? How much to change a battery pack on a Prius? Why do you think, then, that the Prius (which isn’t even plug in) barely sells here in Brazil although it’s been around for more than a decade at this point?

Because the infrastructure to charge cars here is still a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way off from being adequate. Only very rich people would be able to afford any kind of PHEV. And again, flex fuel works just fine without the electricity and all the headaches that will bring in a few years’ time…

Exactly. It’s tiring to read these articles written by people living in the first world and pontificating about things they don’t have to live in the flesh.

There are very obvious challenges to an EV grid in a very poor, very population dense country.

SUVs in general.

Here’s Leno slowly driving a delivery miles example:

I’m hoping Fuches ends up with the kid.

BMW well on its way to making its entire line look like caricatures of BMWs. This looks like a Honda mixed with a Lexus. Ugh.

Proud of the kids, very unproud of my alma-mater.

Would be cool if he spoke about Rotaries, just for the heck of it. But very cool.

The funny bit is that the one in the display case is the modern digital recreation, probably because the old one was so expensive, since they made so little of them, because they “failed”.
