@A97s: Images are borked for everyone; can you just post the link?

Looks like they kept what works (the strong grill, headlights) and reinvented what doesn't (current tail lights are ugly as heck.) Has a dash of C series... I like it.

@TK421: I'm already standing up.

So completely awesome. I simply cannot imagine a woman that would be okay with this besides the rare bird that's also a gearhead. Even then.

@WOT: But he didn't want to flip over. Everyone knows cars will flip over if you put them into neutral.

This... really doesn't work. Things like supercars, we want to see in excruciating detail - artful distortion and obstruction doesn't suit the subject at hand very well, I think. This is a case where realism wins over impressionism, given the task.

@KTown Hoonboy: And the only downside was the collapse of their country! *funnels a trillion tax dollars into Lockheed Martin from health care and education*

@ThirdWorlder: While many USSR war machines displayed incredible durability, others were works of folly befitting a design by committee of communism. Very similar to several of Nazi germanies more wild superweapons that never worked.

Sucks... it was always cool to know every maker had their own hot-rod division... this is like Nismo or Mugen going away.

@AutobahnBurner: Heh. I wondered this when I sat in a Prius. "Really? A regular shift handle/knob isn't good enough? It's gotta be 'space knob'?" All the feedback from the first Prius told Toyota that hybrid buyers wanted cars that were absolutely unique inside and out, so that they could show off their space-pod…

@Ben Wojdyla: UK Resistance? Is that you?

@elwood: But but but but... draaaag raaaacingggg!

@notoriousEIC: You really don't know what you're talking about.

@topekaguy1988: Ding!

@Wall41: You're very right about the nature of combat; not only has it been changed in the last ~250 years, right now in the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan it's not even 'war' proper; it's policework - troops have to mediate, they have to separate civilian from insurgent, etc. In some ways it must be even more…

@Wall41: "And I don't think aggressiveness applies here, as no human being operates as they normally would when they see combat, at least I don't think so"

@notoriousEIC: He's talking about 'rigs' specifically; that is, the kinematic skeletal system that you stick inside of assets. You could just re-use the rig for men for women, but trust me, the result would be unappealing. In addition to the rig inhabiting memory space, it exists inside HAVOK's physics system, and…

@CABEZAGRANDE: I kind of drifted into social philosophy territory there but it's always something I think about when something like this comes up - like, if more people realized the 'root' of an issue instead of trying to deal with the symptom, we could have more progress.

@CABEZAGRANDE: "My complaint is that automakers are deep into the realm of diminishing returns for "safety equipment"."

@CABEZAGRANDE: With 6 standard airbags and pedestrian safety concessions, we can never have another CRX. I'm pretty sure an '88 CRX, if tested against today's safety ratings, would get like negative one star.
