The 1914 Studebaker is significant because it was the first car with one of these:

A little bit abstract, but reliability. Today’s cars take very little fiddling and / or luck to get to 100, 200, or even 300k miles.

Did you mean to make your username “N as in Nancy”?

Laminated safety glass. If your windshield breaks, much less chance of many large sharp chunks flying at your face and arteries.

I know right? It’s so cool, but also so suck.

Not that I’ve ever even seen one, but I’ve read the Stratos driving position is a bit nutty. The pedals are offset way towards the middle of the car because of the wheel wells, the seats practically touch each other. Supposedly the rear view mirror is inched from your head. Dogleg first gear, steering wheel in typical…

GM also had GREY BUTTON PALOOZA for a while:

Torn because it’s also awesome, but inward justified seating, shifter on the left, CRT screen that likely shows nothing, giant airbag wheel, and seriously, that air duct? At least the CD changer is easy to access. Wait, the whole point of a CD changer is that you didn’t need to access it often.

Cool story bro incoming, but I actually saw one driving down the road in Troy, Mi of all places. I’m not even a Veyron fan and still had a freakout moment, like the girls in the audience when the Beatles performed on Ed Sullivan.

A two tone one went by me in the other direction on a two lane road once. It almost intimidated me right into the ditch. I’ve been in love since.

Counterpoint: I’ve seen two and immediately thought both were the new Kia K900.

The pre-fin cars are so elegant...

LMP cars. In person, they’re like half the size you expect them to be, and you start to look at the details, every little thing that gets thought out, and you imagine yourself going 200mph in this tiny, tech packed thing and you freak out a little.

It’s smaller in person than photos. It’s beautiful.

I hear it’ll be shown right next to the new RX-7, mid engined Corvette, FR-S turbo, flying car, and a company that has a breakthrough 100mpg carburetor.

Now that’s just a well played double entendre right there.

Yes, I’m aware and said so in one of my replies in this thread.

In all fairness, the bottom pic was still technically a concept, but they didn’t change that one much for production.

V4 or I4? Because a V4 would be pretty sweet.
