But that’s been disproven by the existence of functional socialized secondary education in other countries. It’s doom day prophecy that isn’t even true.

The SVX wasn’t offered with a Manual

I’d say the fall of Ferdinand Piech was pretty damn long and hard.

Oh ok. That actually makes a lot of sense to me.

Is it wrong to target different market desires, even if those markets fall along the lines of gender?

That’s based off the Devil V16?

To the best of my knowledge, the BRZ and GT86 were truly engineered by both companies. The underpinnings were ultimately developed by both companies.

It’s the nuances that matter. The impression I got from the Toyobarus, is yes while they have different suspension tunes and have a Subaru engine, each company brought something to the table.

I think the difference is that it doesn’t feel like a joint project what so ever. The Toyobaru twins look and feel like they were truly developed alongside one another by both companies.

I mean- that cars sole purpose was to generate buzz for Nissan, and it certainly did that.

IMO the 488 isn’t great looking either. The Side scoops always bothered me. The Pista almost gets it together but not... quiet.

Hip height would be insanely low. The average height of females is 5'4, so everything would have to be low. Even Sedans would struggle to meet that. 

By MSRP or market value?

I had this long post but it got Kinja’d so I’m going to TD:LR it. Bare with me, I can’t be bothered to retype the whole thing.

Ultimately my entire issue with the Shuttle is the design constraints the USAF had on the Shuttle. Removing all of the issues with the Shuttle in hindsight, the USAF forced the Shuttle to be the size that it was. And NASA had to figure out how to cheaply launch a 165,000lb+ payload into orbit. All of the…

Completely unrelated to your main point, something I found fascinating about the project was NASA’s observation that the Buran’s heat shielding was largely inadequate. So that may have been a huge issue for the Buran.

It is crazy common for dealership cars to not start. Takes one customer or sales person to leave on a light and boom its dead.

Buran was hardly a copy of the Shuttle. They look nearly identical, but when they have similar requirements, there are very few aerodynamic solutions ultimately available. And the structure of the Buran is completely different. I’ll admit, the USSR was likely influenced by the space shuttles shape but that’s about it.…

The shame of it is, the Buran showed that the shuttle could’ve been amazing. But, for what we asked of NASA to deliver, they made a fantastic vehicle. The VS-25 main engines on the shuttle are still technological marvels today, and continue to be some of the most efficient engines ever developed 30 years after they…

The reality is- no they’re not. There is ultimately a very limited profile of missions that require both a payload and crew to be launched at the same time.
