The front looks bad. It's like the Audi problem: everything is very nice... until you see the grille.

Why not? It isn't a heavyweight or high-performance vehicle, so drums are good enough. Discs are more expensive to maintain and don't necessarily contribute to the vehicle's safety or ride quality.

Both quite nice. Yeah, that's it, nice.

A Citroën can elevate its body over the ground. This is much better, because it fucking ELEVATES THE GROUND ITSELF.

You would, in a few years.

It makes a funny sound when you park at right angles to the road and drive up too close to a curb step. My car still has them, after 8 years of abuse...

Then they shouldn't have designed the front end at all, because it's fucking ugly. The rest is fine.

I've seen people scratching the paint with a perfect Park Distance Control, twice, while riding shotgun. So PDC doesn't prevent damage, it's just irritating to me. Im afraid I'd either rely on it or get annoyed by it, so it's a no-go for me when buying a car.

Parking sensors are pathetic. Parking a car, even a large one, is not that hard. But that's just my opinion.

Dear Acura, if an useless feature found on almost any car today is all you have to brag about, it might be time to sit down in a quiet corner and think about what you have accomplished at all.

I, as an European, totally adore the giant Flex. Have seen some around an USAF base in Germany, oh boy, that's a decent family car...

Does Clark Kent really need a souped-up douchemobile?

Audi is the new BMW. Except in an Audi, you'll always see the tree that's going to get you.

It's like the Autolog function of more recent "Need For Speed" games. Only in real life. Oh shit. I see myself sitting in a family car slowly shuffling around on some idiot's racetrack...

Pushing this 69hp lacklusting can of shit to its limits was my favourite driving game. Flat out with some swearing it reached around 109mph and I kept speed at that level for an approximate two-hour Autobahn run. Half-deaf, with a drained tank and insects splattered all over the front, that wasn't big of a problem,

1st gear: How about a new slightly sexist ad campaign?

Yes, you nailed it. It's some kind of a skeuomorph, resembling something it just isn't anymore since decades ago. Maybe that's why silver frames look a bit awkward to me, they suit the design language of modern cars just as well as white-wall tires or chrome bumpers.

I've always thought Audi started this in 1991 - giving the A-pillars a different appearance solely out of design reasons, making the Cabrio differ from the other versions.
