Right!? I'm surprised there's no dead puppy in there somewhere!

What? What. Seriously.

Exactly. It's really tall! Modern crash standards dictate an extremely large side profile. This car, like the Lexus IS series and the Nissan GT-R, is really, awkwardly tall.

Actually that wing looks really good; because the car is extremely tall, that large wing actually helps reduce the profile by it's inclusion.

The flaw is that there is only one rotor. Under extreme duty, the front end will pull to that side. Twin floating discs has proven to be a superior setup. Race wheels are forged magnesium or carbon fiber, and are very light.

The Rotax unit in the 1125 was very good, and definitely just an update of the already old at the time Aprilia 1000cc unit in the Mille. The perimeter brake is just different to be different; no one races with them (besides some stock Buell bikes.) The fuel in frame is novel but as noted above, unnecessary in inline

Well said!

And then sadness, as the driver of said car will be turned away from every mountain resort he comes to because he can't fit tire chains.

Yeah, I also find the 'screw it, I'm going to carry my bicycle with my Lambo' thing a little dumb, and not cool, like most other commenters. Oh well.

What the - that H2 just collapsed. Was it a knockoff made from aluminum and balsa or something?

I think so, HOWEVER - I do like their functionality at making the light pattern 'read' better from the front. Since a lot more cars are getting projectors or very small headlamps, it can be difficult to ascertain how far and how fast a car is coming when it's just two pinpoints of light (The Infiniti G35 has this

Other pictures clearly show the Toyota sigil. But honestly, what's wrong with it being a Scion? I'd actually rather be associated with a brand that wasn't as bumbling and monolithic as Toyota, despite their own past in motorsports.

... c'mon, this would be kind of awesome. Well, if you first anyway, so you could jump/slide to safety at the bottom.
