Purple is such a good color for this shape of Jag.

Are those chevron floors? How chic.

Well, it’s not quite as bad as I was expecting, but this is by far the least successful design for this era of Lexus. I suppose I should be grateful they seem to have foregone the floating c-pillar of the RX - what a short lived trend that seems to have been.  

Why’d they touch the face?

No. But do fault her for planting stories in the press extolling the virtues of her trying to be a moderating influence on the orange idiot piss baby. It’s self-promotion.

i mean it looks really cool! But frankly so would most things with racing flared wheel arches. Eg:

“Will be introduced to Europe” doesn’t read to me as particularly noteworthy. Especially as it is the Honda Europe VP speaking within the context of a European trade event. I’m not sure there is any implication there that it will be exclusive to Europe. Particularly as Honda is such a bit player there; it would be an…

Can I just say: copper in the typeface is a much better signifier of EV-ness than any blue or that neon green mess Porsche uses.

So like the Cash App card?

Totally valid; the A6 is a handsome car. I was just annoyed by the assertion that because the LC is a polarizing design it is somehow overwrought.

I happen to find the LC an intriguing and compelling design, but can accept that it may not be to everyone’s taste. But I refuse to acknowledge the criticism that it is “overwrought.” If you actually count the lines on the thing, you will notice they are relatively few. I would much rather have a few deliberate…

I still think it would be a dream to have a modular EV drivetrain that you could use to retrofit cheap classics. Like, imagine a Silver Shadow finally fulfilling the promise of having its clock be the loudest component of the car.

I feel like the Porsche analogy is a false one. An SUV is anathema to the identity of the former, but an obnoxiously large, cushy people mover is the core of the Cadillac ethos.

The “driving is just one of its apps!” take makes me dieeee.

It definitely needs big wheels to look right and some of the angles are awkward, but I think on the whole it is a success. I can’t wait until therest of the legacy car makers start coming out with actual, viable EV product. (Love the i3 but no one’s checking for that.)

It looks like a 156 that crashed into a barn from the rear.

Yes, my phrasing is confusing. I meant to say that BMW used to use XDrive to denote AWD (because RWD was assumed) but now they have a badge to indicate the absence of AWD, also. And as I write this, it hit me that they now make FWD cars also so the justification for SDrive exists. Just.

Ha, yes that’s absolutely true.
