And let’s be clear here; this tub is NOT an oceanliner, it’s a cruise ship. The only real oceanliner (distinguished from a cruise ship by having a deeper draft and a squarer cross-section for greater stability at sea, among other things) still being used as one is the lovely Queen Mary 2, which coincidentally happens

Are we sure the V6 isn't the new one they're putting in the CT6?

Trying to figure that one out now...Two rows of 6 rotors geared with output shafts geared to a main crank? Sounds unnecessarily complicated, but methinks that be the point.

I think it's a shared point of excitement among fans of Citroens. I squeed fairly loudly at the sight of it, even though I've long known it was there. I just can't image someone doing something like this again, though I desperately hope I'm wrong.

Nobody talks about? Yes, I've only heard positive things about the Camry, Accord, Altima, and Legacy....Even the Koreans are off the mark as of late, and love it or hate it, Hyundai brought style back into the segment with the previous generation Sonata. I honestly think that designers have just run out of new ideas.

The lack of tumblehome is what kills it for me. The Juke was designed dedicatedly-funky, even to the ultimate exclusion of practicality and interior space. The Aztek was basically just a styled version of GM's contemporary minivans.

There actually is an emerging aesthetic called Atompunk that utilizes the visual tropes of the 50's-early 60's. Think Fallout, but with less nuclear winter.

I was gonna say, the best thing about this project is that, unlike basically everything else on here, the crazy parts still exist. They're the only reason to go to Idaho Falls, a multiple-thousands-mile road trip I intend on making some day.

Kia=/=Hyundai. They were separate companies less than two decades ago, and Hyundai hasn't had a controlling share in Kia for a few years now. They platform share, and are technically under the same management at the corporate level, but are otherwise separate companies. Kia coming to America was Kia's plan prior to

Yeah, I'd take windows over a stupidly-thick C-pillar any day.

Yeah, holy shit man. The current Genesis has been out for, what a year now? Troll.

It's worth noting that Hyundai isn't "keeping" Kia around. At this point, Hyundai only owns about 1/3 of Kia, so it no longer has a controlling interest in the company. It's tempting to see the similarity that almost every product each brand puts out as simple rebadging and market-carving, but it's really just

Yes; first it was Korea following Japan by focusing solely on export competitiveness, and now it's Japan following Korea by suppressing currency to further aid export competitiveness. East Asia may make some awesome stuff, but economically, that's still kind of all it does.

Not that I don't agree that this is the post-modern version of a bonkers powertrain, but "hasn't been featured in anything other than rather exceptional vehicles"? Did someone forget about the Ecoboost V6's? You know, the ones that Ford sells tons of?

The "High-Feature" V6 engine family, of which the 3.6 is the most prolific member, is actually a decade old already, believe it or not.

...Is this what most teenagers are like? I spent my teenage years (which were just ~9 years ago) practicing cello, struggling through chemistry homework, and wallowing in self-hatred. Did I miss something?

I'll never understand the abject hatred of minivans, but that's beyond the point anyway. Minivans are huge these days, like Tahoe-sized. The only minivan still sold here that deserves the name is the Mazda 5. If you don't want that, but you don't want a bus, smaller crossovers are where you go, given the dearth of

They have a turbo I3 ready and waiting to be plopped into the Spark (I think it may already have been in other markets). That'd be a neat little car to see bopping around.

I'll never understand the minivan loathing. Up until the current generation of minivans, they're all pretty honest vehicles that are extremely well-fit to their purpose. No, they're not particularly fun to drive, and most of them are not very attractive, but why would you expect otherwise?

In this case, it's probably because VWAG have had a V10 for Lamborghini since the Gallardo, so it's part of that car's "brand", and the R8 is just Audi's Gallardo/Huracan.
