Which, narratively, should make it all the more implausible that she would delegate that aspect of her subversion.

On a scale of finance bro to finance bro, how finance bro does it make you feel?

Yes, I love that first gen 5 GT. Lines like an old Saab 900.

Those stainless steel skid plates make me lol and reduce me to tears I am so in awe of its majesty.

I understand Ford’s rationale, just questioning (not faulting) the author’s logic.

Ford is doomed, they say. But I don’t share that perspective—no one wanted to buy those cars anyway, and this came down to just being a cold, hard business decision.

That brutalism is almost avant-garde, though, when every other maker prefers (overdone) organic shapes.

“The Aston Martin Vantage Looks Nice As Hell When You Can’t See Most Of It”

Well, this is horrible. But I’m finding their righteous indignation fairly amusing. It’s such a quaint, pre-2016 version of American conservatism. I’m relieved / troubled that they think such a world still exists.

dooo iiiit

It’s a V6, no1curr. They’re welcome to revisit this idea, though:

No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS.

As head of a subdivision of a major conglomorate that is notoriously bad at differentiation (of product), I’m fairly certain he was stuck working the levers he had.

I don’t particularly think the ES is a good car (the current generation has an awfully cheap interior), but it has always worn predator face the best out of all their sedans. This doesn’t seem to change the latter point, and it will be interesting to see how they address the former.

Ooh it’s clear they’re trying to give their new fug face a soft landing.

Now playing

They certainly seem to think so! (UK market, but still.)

This cannot come soon enough. If we were armchair product planning, I’d want an affordable compact EV and an LS / LC type EV and/or performance hybrid.

Ha, that’s true. I see a lot of rental convertibles where I’m at, to be sure.

I’m... kinda stunned by this? Like, where are they? Or is this a pyrrhic kind of victory where I struggle to come up with any other sports car I see more of.

Interesting they’re at Porsche dealers, no? Seems like something the rest of VW Group would benefit from if they’re trying to shift to EVs.
