The outer case is also a DNA reader to sense if a woman is trying to use it and administer electric shocks accordingly.

Except Elon Musk is a huckster who's actually being funded with government loan guarantees and tax incentives to make his ridiculous little pipe dream on four wheels.

Electric cars can blow me. That is all.

My parents best friends sent their kid to GWU. He came back with addictions to cocaine, adderall and oxycontin, and zero interest in ever finding a job.

See, now THATS a truck. Sweet.

99% of that crap are things that only people who've had access to every single exotic car ever made in the last twenty years would say. The average person - even the average enthusiast - would not split such hairs. Yeah, maybe the NSX was a better car. But if you put someone behind the wheel of a 348 and let him drive…

As a former 348 owner, I'd like to personally state for the record that the 348 was a great car. I don't know where its bad reputation comes from. It was one of the last of the true drivers cars that Ferrari made, before everything went digital and carbon fiber and you needed a doctorate to change the oil.

Not a 348 Spider. That is a 348TS.

As far as entirely generic, corporate boardroom-approved body shells go, these are wonderful.

There is the ONLY calculus that can answer your question:

It's a good effort, but nothing compared to Vandora, the Supervan.

Well yeah, now that you mention it, maybe Jaguar can get some of the gang back together from the British Leyland days and start making 1978 XJS's and Rover SD1's again. I mean, if a ZIL is getting a quarter million, an XJS has got to be worth $750k.

WHAT?! A quarter-million dollars for a Soviet-era shitbox made from sheetmetal with more waves in it that the north shore of Oahu and assembled in a factory that looks as though it hasn't been updated since 1972?

Thank you. Yes. So goddamn stupid.

Can we just all have a gentleman's agreement right here and now to never ever ever use the word 'hellaflush' on Jalopnik ever again. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Well executed you say? What's so bad about a replica?

Cool is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I like the US version better; those LED's look tacky.

That's so true, its gross. I've been over there a bunch for work, and now that I think about it I don't recall ever even seeing a car wash. Maybe one of those like mini-wash things at a gas station... but nothing like we have here.

You guys, this isn't a real business. It's comedy. She's not actually going to have a Walk Of Shame shuttle.

Nobody? The Elise saved the company. Yes it was low-volume, but Lotus rarely ever sold more than a few hundred units a year of any car. In fact, that used to be their biggest selling point; Mike Kimberly said on several occasions that Lotus would never be a mass-production car company, even by sports car standards.
