@Dhillaz 2.0: Rear trunk line is shockingly similar to this actually.

@Dhillaz 2.0: Still no! Dammit. I can see it clearly in my head, but can't put it together. A Korean concept car maybe? A little helping of Quattroporte mixed with hefty imagination?
@Syrax: Lancia was my first thought, but not what I was thinking. The MKS is actually closer, but I swear tat there is one out there somewhere that's damn near identical. I will find it.
I predict the blacked-out C pillar will be gone by 2011 and we will all be better for it. That said, I applaud the effort to push Jag into bold new big-car territory and think that this is mostly effective. Doesn't look "Jaggy" enough from the back though.
Crap. I haven't even gotten any sexting yet and these kids are getting rides in supercars?
Figures. Decided to build a deck on the house instead of going to Italy in the fall. Plan on holding this over the wife's head until spring.
@Mike the Dog: Wow, I drop a comment, go do some work (I know...I know) and then come back to a brave new world.
@FormerlyPreferredCustomer: I think our crazy euro car boy may have dipped into a few too many Old Speckled Hens before shooting the vid.
@Joshman Gesamtstrecke: Calculating in my head, I can't believe this, but between my wife and I we have 6 ipods (2 iPhones), a Powerbook, an iMac, a PowerMac and a Mac Pro.
@Flagrant German Fanboy: I'm somewhat embarrassed and somewhat proud to admit that I do too, although mine was called "Mechanical Symphony".
I would actually rather hope that NASA can come up with something slightly more efficient than the current system for future missions. I was always partial to the Delta Clipper design myself, looks like something from Wall•e and is entirely self-contained.
@Bertone Zero77: It's a wormhole that Lord March has had specially built to bring Rosemeyer back from the dead.
@Z71: I believe the official color designation is "flesh of the gods".
I've done the Revival, but still haven't made it to the Festival of Speed. These pics have assured me that I will have to. Soon. Old Bugattis, Maseratis and Ferarris next to Brawns, Red Bulls and 917s?
@Drew draws in French, in Russian: crap, that was intended for @TheRedCar:
You wanna come over and work on mine? Never rebuilt (as far as I know), but wickedly made a mess of by the previous owner!
@DonLuc: My point is, if there's all that space behind the back seats for a trunk, but the opening is so small you can't access it, why not a hatch? With true coupé style and practicality to boot, what's not to love?
@Ben Wojdyla: Absolutely. I don't see this as looking worse (hatchhater!), and the utility of a hatch is huge over the A5's standard trunk opening. Audi probably would've made the A5 like this outright if Americans didn't have such a hatch stigma.
If you followed me on Twitter, you would have known this yesterday. #followfriday
