Can we all take a moment of thanks that they didn’t do this on June 19th? 

The problem is that today’s cars are completely different shaped than yesterday’s. There are new crumble zones, more safety tests, more safety equipment etc, in today’s cars. (This is why when GM tried to make a modern 67 Camaro it ends up looking like a cheap hot-wheels knockoff of a Camaro.)

They’re finally going to settle the eternal debate if it was the Scoupe or the S-Coupe?

My guess is a “Vision Gran Turismo” type concept car done in the retrofuturistic style that we first saw on the Ioniq 5. An N-Line electric supercar concept seems pretty fitting. 

“and drive good old red white and blue”, that’s a euphemism for “Japanese Cars are better in every single way but Americans are stupid and would rather buy dog shit than something imported”.

I’ve never really cared for exposed exhaust tips, especially ones that need constant cleaning. Hidden exhausts are where it’s at and when the e38 7-series came out, it really illustrated that automotive design didnt have to have them to look good.

writing an entire article about another auto jurno’s work without as much as a single link to it? i hope this was just an accidental oversight.

If you need multiple pages to explain the title, i think it’s fair feedback that maybe rewording the title is more efficient.

Counterpoint, by using the label “ban cars” all you’re doing is enraging the folks who need them and/or enjoy them, and often immediately putting them in a defensive position and creating an us vs them mentality, which we already have an overabundance of in the modern era. Most folks won’t be willing to listen to this

/sets the slider for “hood” all the way to the right

I’m sure they knew they’d rebadge them as Buicks from the get go, but they were designed primarily by Opel to be sold as Opels and otherwise internationally rebranded. 

I’ll stop you there. Buick will not, in fact, make a 2-door liftback. Only Cadillac sits above Buick in making design studies that will not resemble any actual production model. 

I know people are going to say that hydrogen isn’t the future...and it may not be...but this seems like a practical solution for immediate results to transition to whatever long term solution makes the most sense.  For long haul trucking this is still going to be impractical for the obvious reason of fueling stations,

I can’t think of a single TVR model that I would turn my back on. There were some rocky years in 65/66, but the combination of light weight, good engines mostly from Rover and Ford, lots of power, manual gearboxes, minimal safety concern.

Avions Voisin. Every single car was a masterpiece.

Duesenberg

Cizeta. One awesome car, 16 cylinders, 4 pop-up headlights.

I’d have to go with something like Elio Motors. You can’t make a trash car if your company never got around to making any cars in the first place.

I listened to a couple podcasts with Murray on them, and I kind of feel for him. As someone that loves cars, has worked in the industry, yet wants nothing to do with it, I understand where his attitude may have come from. He’s had to work with Mercedes, BMW, Tyrell, McLaren...he’s been through the industry ringer,

Chasing Nurburgring times, like every other manufacturer.
