He seems to do just fine when it comes to the actual review portions but I’m not so into the gimmicky stuff (especially that rap).

Love the wood in newer Volvos; that lighter shade of teak that looks raw enough to give you a splinter but is actually as smooth as a baby’s bottom.

Ken Feinberg is a busy man these days.

Damn, that R8 debadge/rebadge is pretty unforgivable.

This is the ultimate “bought this for my wife but drive it more than her” car. I’ve always been a big fan.

LeBlanc was great as a TG guest but his slow, dull, pulled-a-30-drink-all-nighter style of delivery might get a bit old. Not to mention soporific.

$30 million is a comically low sum for any field of research, especially one as unexplored as autonomous cars. Not to be a buzzkill but this shouldn’t be considered a serious effort as it will likely yield zero useful new technology.

That Jag’s Craigslist description is pretty amazing:

We can’t just bury them financially and expect them to thank us…

Sure seems great for our country to not be able to export a product, while simultaneously not being able to receive tax revenue from the same product sold within our own borders.

I guess the ends justify the means then, since that was one of the more entertaining segments of the entire show.

Goddamn this is accurate. And comments otherwise fall under this category/template:

How is an irrational concept is worth a $1 billion factory and $335 in taxpayer incentives so far?

Gorgeous and unique; I’d love to scoop one of these up. Would be curious to see data on how many of these are on the road right now (and where).
