Yep, and that’s totally understandable. Not everyone can or will benefit from public transportation. I find it’s usable for a very particular demographic of people, including:

1. Those who want to save money on the cost of a vehicle.
2. Those whose use case is within the means of easily serviceable areas.
3. Those unable…

Yep, and this I totally agree with. I’d rather have it regulated or owned by the state or else you’ll have situations like the US Midwest derailments or BNSF employment dissatisfaction while the company is out there posting record profits and ignoring all regards to safety and well-being for the local communities they…

Gotta hand it to Vinfast. Every other car manufacturer out there building good to decent cars which end up easily forgotten among the sea of other options. Eventually we just assume cars are terrible because they’re boring, uninspired, and ultimately derivative. And these guys are revolutionizing the space by showing…

You might think that, but I think there’s no difference between someone who appreciates and loves cars and someone who also acknowledges they’re a terrible transportation solution. Driving a manual sports car through the canyons fast with no traffic ahead of you and tons of road ahead is fun. Using that same car to go…

This is exactly why I advocate for walkable communities, car-free environments, and denser cities. All of it is connected. Car-centric planning pushes things out of realistic range for many to a point where there is a serious and unhealthy dependency on it. In turn, the cost of adapting to this lifestyle is literally…

No it is extra row. But in a pragmatic sense, it’s realistically enough for two kids or one regular adult.

Oddly enough there’s only one place in the world where having one of these would be a real flex. Ever been to Catalina Island? I don’t think they made many of them, which means 99% of them are in Avalon. They’re EVERYWHERE. The moms, dads, kids with licenses, all of them drive one. There are streets where it looks…

I think that’s correctly rated, since nobody cares about them.

Exactly, and this one is not even at the point where it’s so obscenely ugly that it becomes art. It’s just ugly without a cause.

After seeing the truly one-off hacked apart monstrosities that Mansory builds, I can admit my appreciation for them starts and ends with them building full-size Hot Wheels cars. Certainly the case with their two-door Urus:

Yeah hold up, I don’t care much for the Urus but I do like the two-door coupe conversions of them. It’s excessive but it works.

All the obscure picks aside, it genuinely surprises me when people see a mid-engine sports car and just straight-up mistake it for something else, let alone something that already has so much clout.

Y’all remember “I’m pretty sure that’s a Lambo?” The guy genuinely didn’t know that he was looking at the car that stole…

100% agree there. And if there’s any indication to how the car’s actually been received, Cars & Coffee has rows of these things. My local boba shops and university parking lots have too many of them. There’s the widest assortment of drivers from the rich foreign exchange students driving them daily to TikTok…

The car-centric stigma is here to stay, which means woe to anyone who refuses to sit in a steel cage just to move the next block over.

You might not wanna kill cyclists, but we also don’t wanna die out of the negligence of others because there are no other means to get to work, the grocery store, or to the services around the city we need. And we certainly wouldn’t be as vocal or as outspoken as you say we are if cities actually designed for car…

From the outside it’s very neat-looking. It’s what I would expect a proper city car to look like plus highway capability and decent range. That side profile looks like what BMW would’ve had if the X2 wasn’t leaning so hard into.....everything, I guess. The quirks and features are also quite excellent. But man, I am…

I agree with this sentiment 100%. Although I imagine some aftermarket companies will eventually come along with kit to retrofit buttons and dials in cars like we put new head units in place of radios back in the 2000s.

Actually if we go by the metric of hours it will spend in operation per day, then that roughly 12 hours of battery life is not enough for me to commute through LA traffic.

CRACK PIPE ALL THE WAY

The image for the article just reminds me that there is a seriously unreal inefficiency in our transportation system in which there’s likely no more than 200 people in that photo and yet it takes all that space and road just to move all of them, and they’re likely not getting there on time.

So many great ones, but nothing takes the cake quite like the GT by Citroen.
