Don’t be so smug.

No one ever looks to Russia for fabulous design.

It is 4.5’ longer than a SMART car.

And a SMART is easier to park. That Elio looks loooong.

Front driven wheels with no wheel well to contain them.

Where is the engine shot?

Technical details tend to become muddled when laundered through the PR department. I would like something closer to an SAE journal article.

If this stupid donk wheel and zero greenhouse trend continues cars will soon look like this:

I am so curious about the techno-geek details of this engine. All the cool tricks Mazda pulled for the SkyActiv architecture were designed around an NA platform. I wonder what they did to make turbocharging work and still hit emission, power, and reliability targets.

Looks belgian malinois to me.

That’s true. Not as bad as soft touch, but still gypsum level hardness. I wonder if someone has made a simiflexible plastic/ceramic that can be injection molded with a decent hardness value.

I freaking love cheap injected molded plastic in cars, especially in trucks. That shit is so easy to keep clean, just hit it with a clorox wipe or even a damp cloth. And unlike ‘soft touch’ plastics, the cheap ass stuff looks just as good as it did new after years of use.

These are people that chose to leave instead of fighting for ISIS or fighting for Assad. There is probably a large enough percentage of people willing to fight for France against all of the above.

He had a passport that was connected to a refugee who passed through Greece. No one knows if the person that passed through Greece is the same as the person who blew themselves up.

Sending some trainers into a corrupt institution is not the same as expanding a long lived, strong institution like the FFL.

I must have missed something, when did we have hundreds of thousands of Iraqui refugees stream onto our shores who we subsquently trained as members of our military then sent to fight under our command structure?

What they should do is offer a Legion spot to any Syrian refugee that wants to fight the bastards that destroyed their homes. In a year or less they could have a massive ground force that knows the territory better than ISIS and has revenge on their mind.

Working with BMW will save Karma development time for some electric-drive technology in the same way that Tesla cut costs on its first model, the Roadster, by buying the chassis from Lotus.

I wonder if this was one of those Trinity guard rails that has been the subject of a bunch of court actions.
