I’m not sure which car is “The Most 80s.” But whatever it is, it’s definitely a K-Car.

They get it.  Work trucks have crap margin. 

Additionally, all modern volvos can fold the rear headrests from the navigation screen. Nice feature to increase rear visibility.

Too bad Ford never let them have the keypad, which has been letting people lock their car without worrying about getting the keys wet since 1980.

Bean counters approve moving all the buttons to the infotainment touchscreen.

holy shit I just noticed the steering wheel jesus christ

There is no chance of my watching a 23-minute YouTube video, but I would’ve loved a longer article that summarized what he went through because it’s a topic I’m definitely interested in.

El Born is a trendy hipster neighborhood in Barcelona, so while the name sounds stupid to us, it makes perfect sense for a Spanish car company to use it for an EV.

At least you don’t have the N63 V8, which is a horror show.

Rolls Royce, Ferrari, and any other high-end manufacturer. Their days are clearly numbered though.

If they were going to merge, you would never be able to tell until they’re already doing it.
