I don’t think the market for it really exists outside the US. People who drive similarly-priced BMWs and Merc coupes would probably look down their noses at it, twenty-somethings couldn’t afford one (insurance would be horrendous too), people with performance car money won’t be cross shopping it against their M3s or…

I’d be surprised if it sells in serious numbers here. Probably depends how hard they market it.

It still won’t sell over here though.

It’s like the roofline of a much better proportioned car has been mounted onto a bathtub.

Yep, autonomous vehicles stop being cars. They’re just transport.

I got so good at Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast that when I found an arcade cabinet in an airport, a single credit lasted long enough for me to nearly miss my flight.

Hopefully they’re easily replaceable too, I imagine they’ll scratch up with door dings etc.

I think Top Gear did that too, maybe Top Gear USA.

What would that add?

You have to remember this is a car from France, where the average car has six dents and a missing wheel trim after a week of ownership.

No, the Captur is some pointless little crossover thing, a jacked-up Clio if I recall correctly.

The big thing about the 458 was that, unlike all of the previous mid-ship V8 Ferraris, there were no gaping intakes on the sides - clever aero allowed them to be concealed under the pillars.

I don’t understand the mindset that says ‘yes, I want to spend a great deal of money on a luxury performance coupe, but I’d better spoil the experience with a diesel engine so that I save a few pennies when I fill up’.

Considering that the Model S ‘grille’ is entirely fake/non-functional, and that Tesla have no heritage constraining their design language, it’s astonishing that this bland oval is the best they could come up with. The knock off at least has some conviction.

Aren’t their uniforms designed by Prada?

Boringly, it’s pronounced say-at.

ALFA is correct, Alfa is not ...

May well be an optional “carbon interior pack”.

Almost certainly it’s the QV, which is going to be pitched against the M3/RS4/Jag XE S.
