I see no particular reason for them not to try and incorporate such an over-the-top tech interface in their future models. Korea is known as a technology powerhouse worldwide, so Genesis would be wise to try and capitalize on that image, especially considering just how tech-heavy cars are becoming these days.

Besides,…

They are involved in WRC, but I'd love to see them do something like endurance racing. Normally I'd say F1, too, but that's such a mess right now that, even absurd expense aside, I don't think they should bother.

I wish it did look, or better yet feel, more Korean, whatever that ended up meaning. I think part of the appeal of the German trio—in particular, but also Brits like Aston Martin/JLR, and Italians like Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Ferrari—is that we can not only project but also kind of see our national stereotypes in…

Except that these two models were released way too close to one another for either to have been a direct influence on the other. It's just another example of design convergence/lack of imagination across the industry. Also, if we're going to be pedantic about things, Kia's had that c-pillar shape since the previous…

Yes. Also, this isn't a diesel, at least not according to Autocar from the U.K. and the (I'm pretty sure it's German) TheKoreanCarBlog. I'd double-check on that, Orlove/Jalopnik.

I think all you need to concede here, from a metapolitical perspective, is that our democratic party, practically speaking our left, has been more centrist than anything else, and often quite rightist. This

Really? I had no idea. I still find it weird that you can’t ride motorcycles on the highway.

I’d agree, but these are mostly going to be driven around crowded Korean cities, and even the longest possible intercity route (Seoul-Busan) is only about 200mi/400km, so concerns of long-haul accommodations are secondary, even though traveling at the absurd national speed limit of 60mph/100kph means a trip time of…

Aww, really? Shoot. Now we'll be seeing them on every corner.

At this point, I’m inclined to think of it this way. First of all, you can’t even buy a Lagonda in the U.S., and even if you could, you’re almost certainly never going to see one. Second of all, we can all agree that the styling themes of the Lagonda are pretty good, so I don’t see how more of it is necessarily a bad…

Sometimes I think I’d like to go off-roading, but then I think, “I (sometimes) like being outside, and I can just walk or hike places that no SUV could, at speeds far exceeding what they can in the more topographically interesting situations, and not need to be particularly skilled or disposable-incomed to do so.”

I…

Is it weird that I'm almost excited for a top speed for which those silly old 85mph speedometers would be sufficient?

Yet another reason that, as has been discussed elsewhere on Jalopnik, these kinds of cars are fairly stupid. Performance numbers are much less interesting than how a car feels when those numbers are being achieved.

Certainly they aren’t, and ultimately I’m more interested in how an engine sounds. However, logically speaking, if an engine sounds good, I want more revs to give it more operational room in which to sound good, if that makes sense.

Not that you are, but I do like that a lot of people are attacking what I said on…

Experience would indicate otherwise...although admittedly only just.

Just saying, were it me (and it never will be), I'd probably get a Vanquish over this solely because of the difference in engine, even though I otherwise prefer this new DB11.

I kind of wondered about that, if maybe it was some particular mode. The new NSX has an eco (or whatever) mode that limits revs to 4000, so it certainly could be different from what's shown there. But it's also reasonable, ultimately that it'd have a 6k rpm redline; it's just disappointing to me, personally, for…

8 fewer cylinders, 2.7 liters fewer. Not the point. Ferrari's and Lamborghini's V12's are both larger than this engine (although probably much more oversquare), and rev more than 2k RPM higher.

I didn't say it was a bad thing; I just prefer, especially in nominally sporty cars, that I have a reason to actually rev the engine out. I'm quite fine with a peaky engine, assuming it sounds good.

I’m still disappointed that, at least according to the images in Aston Martin’s webpage for this car, the redline seems to be a plebian 6000RPM. My '06 Forester revs higher than that.
