Why no interior shots? I had a 2012 'Speed 3 and sold it... interior was pretty bad (only thing worse was the 2011 WRX I had before it). I'd like to see how this new interior fares in comparison.

I just bought a MINI Cooper S (literally, picked it up yesterday), and I asked my Motoring Advisor how Paceman sales have been going... he hesitated a bit and basically gave me a line about how MINI's marketing budget is really small, so most people don't know about the Paceman yet. I'd say that's fair, but he also…

Stupid kids... Studio Ghibli movies have ALWAYS been boring and dull!

This post is so full of fail...

Uh, you mean finally bringing KI back in glorious fashion? Yes, yes they are.

So, as a former PS3 and PSP owner, I watched everybody complain about the Steam-like game purchase and family sharing models on the X1 (which they were often ill informed about), then Microsoft acquiesces to give them the same basic models we've had for 30 years. And now gamers are still at them? If anything, gamers…

Spoken like someone who has never owned a Miata. Try it... you'll like it.

The C-Coupe doesn't belong on this list. Syaieya fails to point out that the C-Coupe was:

Yes, it sounds fun. I made a preorder. Thanks for asking

What, you mean that thing that hasn't happened for the last 20 years (temps haven't risen) and that the scientific community is torn about and even if it's real aren't sure if it's entirely man's doing since it also occurred before the Industrial Age?

To be evil you have to have vision, communication and execution? What the what..? Dang, that was a dumb statement. Sorry, I couldn't take anything else in this article seriously after that sophomoric, naval-gazing quote.

This was the smartest and least overtly biased (needlessly negative) article on the X1 I've yet read on Kotaku. Very good article, Stephen (as was the original from Kyle at Giz). I was/am a futurist and was/am disappointed at the reversal. I only hope Microsoft implements as much of the original vision as they…

Amen and +1. This article from Stephen was very good, as was the original from Kyle at Giz. I was/am a futurist and was/am disappointed. I only hope Microsoft implements as much of the original vision as they technically are able at this point. I want to move forward into a discless, more Steam/iTunes style future.

Ugh. The "right thing?" Hardly. What this ridiculously juvenile outcry did was simply ensure that we won't see a disc-less STEAM or iTunes-like model of game distribution this console generation, or the convenience, portability and low cost that comes with it.

Ugh. Yeah, "speaking out" (or "shouting incessantly") worked... it worked to ensure that we won't see a disc-less STEAM or iTunes-like model of game distribution this console generation, or the convenience, portability and low cost that comes with it.

Microsoft didn't do what's best for the industry OR consumers. We've now lost our sole chance to see a disc-less STEAM or iTunes-like model of game distribution this console generation. Instead, we're stuck with the same basic optical media we've had for the last 20 years thanks to a few obnoxious Sony fan-boys.

I hate this "we won" crap. Nobody won anything. What we LOST is our chance to see a disc-less STEAM or iTunes-like model of game distribution this console generation. Instead, we're now stuck with the same basic optical media we've had for the last 20 years. Thanks for nothing, Internet.

If you're serious about games, you should note that the Xbox One has 15 exclusive titles... the PS4 has just 7 exclusives. It's clear which machine will still be the go-to for serious gamers not hamstrung by a budget.

And Sony couldn't do the same?
