I had indeed forgotten, but that’s not really relevant anyway - that’s an example of a manufacturer trying to retrieve cargo space capability from volume that has been ceded to passenger accommodation in what used to be a truck. The Bollinger frunk is an entirely different thing, making cargo space out of a volume…

Dude. You hit it, almost. Not Scout though. Think Travelall.

I bet there’s achievable engineering to make the crush space a lot less of a thing than it already is. Between airbags and crush space I think we can do a pretty good job of decelerating a human without hurting them much. VW did a pretty good job of making the Type 2 a lot more crashworthy back in the day, and that…

I’ve been following Bollinger since they first dropped on this site and I really want to see them make it. The pass-through loading capability - there’s a picture of Torch being an enormous gross baby birthed out of a car’s nose in a related vid if I recall - is just a hilariously cool example of what you can do when…

“Never eat into your principal to buy a depreciating asset,” so the alternative is to pay three times as much to long-term rent it? And have no equity to show for it afterward? That isn’t how rich people think, at least not rich people who had to make their own wealth. Trust fund babies maybe, but not people who…

The wheels are obviously from something else, but that said: I kinda like them.  It makes me wonder how some classic off-roader steelies would look.

A battle of desires.

This is the first mention of the forthcoming name change, but it states only that drug references are passe.

“Does this math make any sense at all?”

The subscription thing looks to me like another step on the road to Mobility As A Service. You don’t own anything, just pay for the privilege of using it.

A complete and utter absence of uncluttered horizontal surface.  

Can I just point out that in the whole NPOCP/GBOGB/NPOND debacle, we have replicated the errors of the mask/no mask debate from early in the coronavirus response?

No thanks. If I’m going to drive a car of that particular shape, I want it to be the E-type from Harold and Maude.  I understand it will cost more than $14K, but for the E-type, it will be worth it.  This, in my mind, not so much.

I remember this exact ad campaign, and I remember seeing the magazine ad pictured at the top.  I thought it was ridiculous then, and it still is.

You’re coming at it from the wrong perspective.

It’s been tried but there are problems. As we know, cellulosic ethanol, while a net positive (barely) even with then-modern methods, hasn’t made huge strides that I have heard of since 2009, and that’s the last I heard of any efforts on kudzu biofuel around here.

Without being oversized.

I have to disagree. This would be a lot of fun. If you’re like me, not wanting to go fast or be swaddled in acres of leather or have an extra ton of steel around you “for safety” then a featherweight, nimble little all-conditions SUV might be the ticket.
