It looks epic! Also copper representing electricity is genius. Good job :)

Right. I can already buy a used A3 TDI or even a new Golf TDI. Both will be 99% exactly the same as this.... why would I wait until 2016 for a car that's on sale today and is cheaper.

No, the 919 and 917 are both cooler than the 918. Because race car.

I tried finding a picture or a diagram showing that it was functional but came up with nothing. Even searching for reports on it the only thing that came up is the report from thereporter. One line in a article from a site I've never heard of mentioning one of the vents is functional is still not super convincing....

Really? Nothing personal, i don't know you, but I don't believe that vent is functional. It might open up to the engine bay, but I highly doubt it's an intake or anything other than a hole.... I would love to be proven wrong though.

Absolutely. Although I'd take an E-Class wagon with the fold down rear facing seats before I took any of these!

The problem with a minivan is it's basically a giant box with a slightly slanted front end for a hood. No matter how you fancy it up it still looks like a van, so people don't like them.

How about this beastly, AWD, mid engined, supercharged van!

que?

No, but if the cop didn't walk up and say "you're lucky I'm not going to give you a ticket for that.... APRIL FOOLS" then it was a massively missed opportunity.

I kind of hate cops... but even I think they should've given those people a ticket. I'd expect to get a ticket for running a red light as well.

I've accidentally gone into the intersection when the left hand turn light came on thinking it was my light.... I'm not proud of it and I was definitely being a little eager. One time it happened I had already entered the intersection to much so i just gunned it to get through. It was really not a proud moment, but…

Which would have been a major improvement.

I mean obviously the car you actually buy is an E-Class wagon with the rear facing seats. However even in the segment of massive SUV's the QX56/QX80 is terribly hideous.

I mean we are talking large, primarily 7-seater SUV's. Good luck making anything that big be great to drive, and since the main point is comfortable and functionally, good luck making one look nice either! (Honestly, can you find a better example...? Maybe land rover, but I don't think the range rover is a 7-seater so…

Nope. That's pretty much spot on. The 1 series was very squished, this is slightly squished.

I would argue that the Escalade is pandering to a certain market of people who actually want it.

Yeah, I'd made a mistake in my post. GC = even numbered cars that grow 2 doors. GT=odd number cars that gain a hatch and get fat. Otherwise the naming really is very simple.

I mean, I think it's gotten more clear. Even = 2 door, odd = 4 door.
