I.... like it. I actually really like it. One of the better designs to come out of Lincoln in years. I see some Evoque, which is not a bad thing at all. Also, it's the first application of the split-wing grille that genuinely works and dare I say looks pretty good. Overall a nicely executed design. They should build…

Honestly, it looks better than I thought it would. Nissan/Infiniti haven't exactly been hitting it out of the park lately, and the spyshots I saw a few months ago gave me some concerns. I think the current G is nice looking but very bland. This Q50 is OK I guess; yes it incorporates a lot of, shall we say,…

I really like that 427 concept as well as the 2002 Continental concept. Especially in black. These are the closest actual concepts I've seen to what Lincoln should be doing. If they build it, I will buy it, provided I have the funds (which I probably will by the time they actually build it.)

What was the deal with the horrified whelping you can hear in the last 30 seconds?

I really don't understand how anyone, elderly or otherwise, could NOT notice any of those things. Not one. Especially if they've been driving the same car for two decades.

Absolutely, without a doubt, this. IMO the best design out of Cadillac since the '60s. I wish they would build the thing, and can only hope the future flagship is just as big and bold and outrageously beautiful. This is how you do a flagship.

IMO it would look a lot better if they ditched the amber "eyebrows." It didn't look good on the 7 series, and it doesn't look good here. That's really my only beef with the design. Otherwise, it looks pretty good for what it is.

This is stupid, Infiniti.

I want to, but I can't. The design language isn't working, Mercedes.

I'd say for the second, maybe third generation in a row now, the Sierra is the better-looking truck.

I drove a similar one for work a few years ago, Dodge Sprinter, former DHL, 2500 high top van body. Auto, but was at least shiftable. Had a rear camera mounted above where the mirror would be... nice. The Mercedes Benz diesel is fantastic (and sounds great too). Infinitely better than the Econoline or GM equivalent in…

this will always be cooler

Generally true. The speed limit on most PA highways is an unreasonably slow (and largely ignored) 55 MPH (not to mention the miles and miles of "work zone 45 MPH" despite NO work being done for YEARS). Needless to say, enforcement is sparse, and the default speed is probably closer to 70 (80 on the turnpike). It's…

First impressions: it's kind of ugly. Hear me out here. The grille is too big (the whole car might be as well), and personally I hate how the headlights connect to the grille. The lower front and rear fascias need some work. Interior - while I like the colors & materials, it fails in execution - just too "busy" for my…

Skimming the front page, I glanced at the photo, read the "room enough for seven" part of the headline and thought to myself, "huh, guess Hyundai is back in the mini van game with a new Entourage."

IIRC, Audi uses the Haldex (which in normal conditions diverts all of the torque to the front wheels until slippage is detected) in transverse applications such as the A3 & TT. For longitudinal applications (A4, A6 etc.) they use the Torsen system, which is a fully mechanical permanent four wheel drive with either a…

I really really like this. I see a lot of classic G-wagen in that front end, and I wouldn't mind seeing it on more MB product. The whole thing just looks badass.

3rd gear: "The showroom-ready version of the new 5 Series could sport headlights that stretch to the grille like the 3-series' headlights."

3rd gear: NO. THIS is a G-wagon. There is only one. And it is awesome. Whatever little pussyfooting FWD cute-ute they have in the works for the next generation of spoiled sorority girls to have daddy buy them, it will never be a G-wagon and isn't worthy of the name.

Not mine (I wish!). I would say Audi is probably a cut above the rest, and I do give them credit for effort. I still prefer the older ones (B6/B7 A4 interior, for example, is a nice clean design). Then again, Audi seems to get the whole "design" thing more than the rest. Of course the wood is a matter of personal…
