Wasn't the original World's Fair show car a convertible? Say nothing of the fact that the 1964.5 wasn't offered with the fastback, which is what this is. Come on, Ford; if you're going to tribute at least do it right.
Can we expect any radical design changes to the Continental in the next few years? The current styling (aside from minor variations) has been around for over a decade, a marker that, aside from Morgan, usually marks the outside border for styling runs.
I figure that, since all of the cars have already been sold, Ferrari thinks they can do whatever that want. It's still a dick move, but so is only selling it to people who own more than one (or is it five?) Ferraris. It's one of the reasons I can't stand Ferrari. I love the classic racers and GTOs, but anything after…
Pretty sure that's sarcasm... 26 Million people is a lot of people.
It really only works if we leave him out there. A break would be nice, but we'd all prefer something more... Permanent...
The reason you can't tell the Escalade, Yukon, and Suburban apart is because they're exactly the same car, just with a different badge on the outside (and a new front fascia on the Escalade, and some interior changes). I have no trouble at all distinguishing GM's SUV lineup from the Ford Explorer or the Lincoln…
They probably will for the production car. This is just a Jalopnik photoshop job. The only real picture of it is a shady silhouette; the link's in the article. I wonder if the styling will get better or worse with the guppy-grille Infiniti is using...
I've seen enough Bond movies to know that biometric systems are even easier to crack. All you need is a surgically altered eye or plastic fingerprint overlays to break in!
Damn, Lexuses (Lexii?) can go a lot faster than we all thought! XKCD's 'What If' estimated the necessary speed at 1/6 times the speed of light, which is much faster than I'd ever want to go in any Japanese luxury car (or any car, for that matter).
Fine, no history of successful electric cars.
Wow, the perfect mashup of my four favorite cars, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Ultima GTR, and Audi R18! Gotta get me one of these!
I wrote a lengthy reply and got kinja'd right before I submitted; the following is a summary:
Forgot about state tax credits; we don't have those in my state. I don't think that 5-7% markups, less on the more expensive setups, would deter the majority of buyers. It's not like state and federal government would both pull subsidies at the same time.
What, that? That's just good, old-fashioned capitalism. Tesla selling other companies what they need. It's California's fault for coming up with "emissions credits." Also, considering the price of a new Tesla, I don't think a couple thousand dollars worth of government subsidies would make a huge difference in sales.
I'm not sure if they have a reason to buy Saab or Fisker. Aside from this reboot, Saab has no history of electric cars, and Tesla wouldn't really get anything out of any purchase other than manufacturing facilities (which might have been liquidated during the bankruptcy). Fisker, on the other hand, was attempting to…
