The 400 series definitely isn’t the worst Ferrari; maybe not the most “Ferrari” ferrari, but a really sleek, nicely proportioned tourer. I wouldn’t shit on the 208 gt4, either, though, although they’re not as nice as the 400.

I’d say either the Volvo 940 or toyota previa:

While it was probably possible, I can understand why most people stuck with running on gas, (g)as gas was more practical considering the limitations and cost of battery technology.

To be honest, I liked it more than most car ads; I got the idea that it was an piss-take of the abstract car/perfume ads, and found it quite funny. The imagery’s weird, but ads like that, particularly perfume ads, are likewise, so it works.

I also find it kind of cool; it’s very much a straight-edge design, but it works, to my eye.

First car I drove would be my driving instructor’s citroen DS3:

To be fair, I suspect an autonomous car might be able to handle a large-scale disaster better than a non-autonomous system; I’m guessing there’s be some way for the destination, or at least route, to be changed, or a change suggested, remotely, and I suspect that a series of autonomous cars performing a controlled…

Volvo 850R;

I don’t think it’d be a massive problem; you’re only looking at 10min run, and temperature tends to fall off with altitude anyway

Hexcuse Me, but this is jalopnik:

That might not actually be a bad plan; Sell off what you can loose, then bodyswap it with something cheap and boring. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t more than $3650 of spares to be sold off on something like this.

Open question; how would people feel if the new RX comes out as an EV with a rotary range extender-type setup?

Revs are more useful than torque for a generator, so far as I know, and the reduced size & weight is probably sufficiently worthwhile enough to offset the reduced fuel efficiency. It’s a backup, effectively; Ideal use case, it’s largely unused, and hence dead weight. Make it bigger & heavier than it needs to be, and…

Why does is have literally nothing in common with the euro yaris?

Is it just me, or does this strike anyone else as just a bit of a waste? All this clever engineering, just to get a generic SUV to handle better in circumstances than it’ll never end up being in, like racetracks and off-road, in order to be able to state that, basically, this one’s better than the old one, and you…

Can I have one of each?

You have considered that this is literally the worst place to ask people to tell you not to carry through on this sort of vehicular idea?

TBH, I prefer the earlier look; the later ones just look like an overweight CRX.

I can’t really see any reason in this day and age why you wouldn’t go electric for delivery vehicles in suburban areas; quiet, so they don’t wake people up, plenty of torque, so they can stop-start happily on a heavy load, and the pattern of operation should mesh pretty well with the range and charge times needed.…

That works, I guess; sometimes messy but flexible’s the better option.
