They’re even more beautiful in person. I was once lucky enough to see TWO at the same car show:

It’s super generic, BUT! it’s also very minimal with well-resolved surfaces, even if the proportions and sharpness of certain areas being exaggerated (per “concept car” conventions).

Call them CT4-V8 and CT5-V8. Done.

It would be foolish for Ford to announce—or even hint at—a V8 in the future when the “regular” Bronco hasn’t even been released.

I don’t know, the Bat example has quite a lot of things missing; the passenger a-pillar is bent; rust in a lot of places.

I may not have $28k to spend on an RX-2, but if I did, this would absolutely be worth it for me. For vintage rotary fans, this is very much reasonable money.

Sounds more like the police guided the counter-protestors EXACTLY where they want them to be, and then conveniently had a getaway car ready for them, all the while assuring them, “Don’t worry, we’ll get you out, no problem. Step on it if you have to.”

“Police monitoring the BLM rally told the counter-protesters to cut through a hotel taxi queue on W. 46th St. and head west on W. 45th St. to avoid the crowd...”

But now I want to see you install an LED bulb in there.

5th gear: “scurrilous”, “meritless”. I think lawyers should be strictly limited to using only a few adjectives: good, bad, neutral, guilty, innocent, lying. That way they’d actually need to make a case.

Did all of the current car designers come from the same school? All tech and glitz, zero personality.

Scion died because Toyota catered to the Americans’ desire for more space, more power, and more luxurious interior, which made the second-gen cars more expensive and grotesque.

Mazda Cosmo Sport (the first one):

My take: 99% of modern cars are too boring to have a manual. If everything is touchscreen, a manual shifter just feels out of place.

For proper nouns, you have to keep the name (out of respect, really) and add -s or -es.

I drove a rental Prius for 2 weeks. The shifter and front display were annoying and, way too often, dangerously distracting and useless.

I don’t get it—they redesign the logo, and then the real-world execution is literally the new logo overlaid on the old logo:

Likely he has several investors or buyers already in the works. They’ve offered to buy him out and he’s just taking an earlier exit than he planned. Still probably has minority stake and a “paid consultation” position. He’ll be fine. He’s a jerk, but most of the people who criticize are exaggerating his wrongs and…

I still think the Mazda3 puts up “great numbers”, even if someone from another article ragged on that statement. What did people expect a Mazda3 to have? 300hp?? Sad about the manual, but AWD and the big torque makes this a great grocery getter and weekend runs.

For the record, I own and drive two sports cars. Both of them are 25% of the car that 10% of the people need at 150% the amount they should be spending.
