It’s 2021. Anyone still using homo as a slur is well past the point of being given the benefit of the doubt. 

This car reminds me of the first time I heard the Jonas Brothers. At first I was like, “I’m not into it.” But then on a second look... “You know, these dudes are actually fine as hell.” Then you’re like, “But the music sucks.” Then you say, “Maybe it doesn’t though? They’re super sexy.”

The Genesis is hotter. Fight me. 

When was the last time a Le Mans winner was relevant to your daily commute?

And don’t say shit like “gone totally homo” like it’s a pejorative, you fucking Neanderthal.

Exactly. My Volt is not super quick, but that instant torque feels good. Very good. 

Most EVs are super fast off of the line but my turbo’d Subaru feels so much faster cause it’s so tricked out with suspension and hearing the turbo and engine scream just adds to it.

I don’t want four doors, I *want* the longer bed, but it’s criminally stupid to lose the jump seats. You need SOMEWHERE to stow groceries out of the rain, and having at least some space behind the front seats— ideally accessible by suicide doors— makes just too much sense.

Honda has had a semi-similar push/pull situation for its gear selector for years now. I don’t really see why this is controversial?

I was thinking regular gondola based on the terrain (per google maps).

2021 Caterham Super Seven.

I can only ever see that scene from The Matrix where Agent Smith seals up Neo’s mouth when I look at the Model 3 front end.

It’s been working long enough.

Simple yet sophisticated, just right size-wise and it doesn’t hurt that it’s attached to a good looking wagon

Although you’re not wrong, the effect of the change in unsprung weight in a vehicle of this type and size is negligible. If we were talking about a performance vehicle, then I’d be right there with you, but for a large truck or commercial vehicle, the change in suspension dynamics wouldn’t matter.

What DOES matter is…

That may have been the case but the German brands are trying their hardest to get away from any sort of elegance they used to have. They are still popular because name recognition. I also have to give them credit for being better at attention to smaller details in terms of gaps and things not rattling, or window tint…

Bernhard Gothic is your huckleberry.

It’s the peloton logo.

If we boycott the questions he won’t have content to put in a slideshow. That’s the way to speak to them. 

To me the obvious answer is for Volkswagen to bring back the Beetle as an EV, but this time as an entry-level model instead of as purely a nostalgic trip for Boomers and Boomer wannabes.
