It's a lovely little vehicle made by startup company Elio Motors that's supposed to enter production by next year. It's supposed to get ~70 mpg, and cost less than $7k. For that price, you're supposed to get AC and heat, central locking, power windows, and three airbags. No rear window, though. Personally, I think…

The problem with the Veyron is that they insisted on moving 300 of the damn things. Koenigsegg has sold maybe 120 cars in their 18 year history, and no one says that they're doing poorly. It all ties back to supply and demand. By now, at the end of the production run, the Veyron is nearly 10 years old. Yes, there have…

I can see the Elise/Ferrari in groups of really, really ignorant people (aka, the general public). These people would also identify Lamborghinis, McLarens, Paganis, Maseratis, Nobles, old Honda NSXs, any F1 car, indycar, any sporty-ish car painted bright red, etc. as Ferraris. If the masses can't tell the sound of a…

It's just another Kevin Spacey reference: The Usual Suspects. Granted, it's not the best place to put it, but perhaps the line will have a cameo as well? Maybe some Moon references, too.. And Men Who Stare At Goats. Damn, there's so much potential for cameos now that I think about it.

Well, record. 1000+hp production cars quickly followed the Veyron and the 0-60 time is matched by a $100k Nissan. The top speed is the only thing that made the Veyron special (well, that and girth) and even that was beat in 2007. The Super Sport had so many revisions, it may have well have been a whole new car.

We've been 5 years out from flying cars for the last 75 years, haha

Heck, I'd buy a convertible 911 just to hear the exhaust note better! But then again, I'd probably go with the new Targa, because I'm retro like that. And because of the roll-cage, and that trick roof... Yummy.

Eeew...

Don't even get me started on that stupid watch and wristband you're forced to look at every second you're playing first-person. That's the only way I play 4, unless I've got friends over and we're screwing around.

I know what you mean about Horizon 1. Just driving around was fun for a while, but the location was, for me, somewhat uninspiring. I took thousands (literally) of photos with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit's photo mode (PC), which kept me happy for years after I bought it. But even with enhanced car customization, I never…

I was simply explaining that it's going to be different. You're right; I should not have jumped to the worst-case scenario, (no modern racing game should be compared to the horror that was NFS:HP Wii) it was just what sprung to mind. I always get antsy when production of a high-profile game is outsourced. While I know…

Really? That was not my experience at all. Which settings are compared?

You're very welcome! Happy racing

It's Need for Speed, but without cops. That's the primary difference. It could also be described as Forza with an open-world mode and slightly arcadey physics (though nowhere near as bad as NFS)

Wait... It's seriously called the 'Beauty Leopard??' I could almost understand if it was the Geely Beauty and that the Leopard was the Chinese equivalent of an 'S' badge, but seriously?? Not that it's not a relatively good looking car; that name just makes no sense at all. I'm not surprised they shorten it to BL.

Which begs the question: What the hell is a Bearcat exactly?

I think that, judging by the crazy high reward, that it was a prank. It was probably just a "let's see how many people we can get to run around and yell, 'here, Nigger, Nigger!' before we get caught" kinda thing. At least that's what I hope...

I think the overarching theme was more 'Murica (although badass comes close). I'm seeing a lot of Viper and Corvette accents, like the lights and raised wheel arches; perhaps that's where they're drawing inspiration. They're a tuner company; they're used to building off of others' ideas, not coming up with stuff on…

You bring up a good point; destroying the face-facing cameras is a redundancy, in case people bypass the software. The only purpose of the camera in the first place is for selfies, so their destruction is beneficial to the company, as it reduces costs. As it faces the user, it would be rendered unusable for taking…
