That’s soon to be California too.

“Though in all honesty, if you own a 100k Tesla, are you really going to be parking it where you’re going to get into a situation where other cars opening doors will damage your car?”

Isn’t that more related to when they were “sharing” parts with Ford?

Except the Italian Walter de Silva is the current head of design of VW since 2007. We also had Italian Bruno Sacco as the long running designer for MB from ‘75-’99, American J Mays who started and led Audi’s design strategy from ‘84-’97, and American Chris Bangle over at BMW from ‘92-’09. The MB 280 Gullwing was not…

The thing about standard doors is you don’t have to open them completely to squeeze out. If there’s an obstruction that prevents this falcon door from operating, the rear passengers are trapped (more likely, you’d have to back out, let the rear passengers out, and then pull back into the space.) The other things is…

Aluminium Space Frame =/= full body

Why don’t they just go to buttons? There’s no point to this.

Los Angeles. Of course.

This is not the nicer set. It has brushed aluminum on the outside verses stainless steel so the tri-ply is actually stainless interior, aluminium core, aluminum outside which is why it is cheaper. Also, the lids aren’t made in the US anymore.

Riding the wrong way on the street? This isn’t “that kind of treatment” — this is asshole behaviour by the bicyclist.

Looks like a different skinned Evoque.

I believe Audi A8 did it first way before with B&O.

Touchscreens take looking to a screen to find contact points—not great in a car. Buttons and rotary dials (when used appropriately) are much better and give the driver a chance at forming muscle memory. Not to mention fingerprint smears all over the screen that glare in the sunlight obscuring the graphics on-screen.

I wondering how this next generation of performance electric cars from more established brands are going to stand against Tesla and the P85D. At the very least, something like the E-Tron can’t launch into the market unless it outperforms the P85D. And then there’s the pricing..

MMI and iDrive were first shown the same year (2001). And if anything, MMI has evolved much better and is way better implemented. There was a COMAND system prior to both but it didn’t have near the capabilities of MMI or iDRIVE (HVAC control) until much later.

Where exactly is all the fat/fat splatter going here?

Don’t worry. He’s working on the corruption... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indictmen…

That is a horrible logo. Graphics, font, kerning... everything is just bad.

I don’t know if you’ve compared the two in person but the Honda is a far cry from the materials/tactile feel of the BMW. Comparing the most expensive Honda build vs the cheapest BMW build, it is still true. It’s very obvious in person.

Those DRLs look bad. They seem to have nothing to do with the design language.
