Tasteful!

Horrible. I had quite high hopes for this and thought the concept was an intriguing and quite successful design in a highly stylized lunar rover kind of way.

Yes omg. Audi is a repeat offender on this and it looks particularly bad on them because the rest of the lines are so staid. Like someone drew a unibrow on the side of the car.

Support for stricter gun laws:

NRA campaign contributions aren’t really the problem. Cornyn, for example, got $9,900 in 2014, which is a tiny percentage of the $14m he raised in total that year. (Vox) Exxon and AT&T each more than quintupled the NRA’s contribution. (Source)

Support for stricter gun laws polls at 66%. For background checks 97%. Assault weapons ban 67%. 59% would feel less safe with more guns in circulation. 17% feel Congress is doing enough to reduce gun violence.

Savagegeese is a great channel! Spotty command of the English language aside.

Those “underdog vs the establishment” pieces are almost always terrible clickbait with dubious journalistic value, though. I remember similar slack-jawed praise for the SRX, Lacrosse, etc, etc. The outcomes are fairly predictable.

This is probably a mistake.

The discussion concerns what Hollywood does and does not consider a story worth telling. When the vast majority are white stories -not all of them thrilling- told by white voices, yes I do think it matters that this isn’t.

Because the bar for white people and their accomplishments is so high.

Sometimes categorization involves imperfect compromise to make order out of a chaotic world. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think the key word here is “chain.” These are franchised food and beverage vendors.

But this looks awful and cheap? It looks like something from the late 90s from the rear.

Or Clarity.

It has a kind of junior QX80 look about it, even if none of the individual styling elements are particularly similar. I like that Hyundai is starting to develop a distinct design language.

This is not an argument for or against Toyota styling, but XC90 and XC60 is not nearly as differentiated as, say, the extent to which Toyota differentiates Prius and Camry, despite these two also sharing a modular architecture.

They’re both SPA platform cars with pretty clear similarities. In my view. Even when there isn’t direct parts sharing (and there’s tons of that), the overarching themes are pretty self-evidently related:

If the configurator is anything to go by, the LX is available as a two row vehicle, too.

Yes, but that’s the thing. Volvo is a company making big claims about its electrification plans, and so far the only hybrid they offered was a ridiculous 400hp system.
