Cool cars and companies always have an amazing background story. You just don’t get that with remakes or cars of today. The entire culture is so diluted and people just care about Apple CarPlay and lane assistance etc. A great piece of writing and video Alex. Cheers !

They could, but in terms of commercial vehicles, Toyota is the pupil

Yeah, I’m curious what Toyota is really getting out of this.

Pissing off The Ghost of Enzo Ferrari would probably be worth it to at least 3 people.

when have the words chrysler and merger ever resulted in positive outcomes?

They made Blah into even more Blah.

I’m equally impressed and disappointed.

Came here for this as well. If I were getting paid to write, you would think I would have my work proofed even by Word. (Which can be set up to catch this)

Fuck those Natives, we took what was rightfully ours hundreds of years ago. They need to move on. They are just like the Confederates.

Anyone reading this who doesn’t know who Paul Cambria is needs to look him up. He’s like the Saul Goodman of Buffalo, NY.

I feel that in this particular instance the state of New York should go fuck itself.

It’s official everyone, the Yugoslav Wars never happened.

Can we really call the RX-7 a modern car? Its successor has a rumored successor. Kids that are learning to drive today were born the same year it was discontinued.

If Porsche actually employs a designer, s/he probably gets to work around 11, has a heavy lunch, takes a nap, draws up a couple of things in crayon, then goes on vacation for three months.

Current Crown Vic owner and currently eyeballing used SHOs, I feel this.

Yes, I wondered that, too. Granted, at his level a lot of it is supply-chain management, but still...a car, even an electric car, is much more difficult to produce than an iPhone or iMac or Powerbook or whatever Apple is making. At least bring in someone with real auto-manufacturing experience to assist him.

IIRC Elon has fired every person with actual auto experience that he ever hired.

Or from a company that actually manufactures stuff, I mean, Tesla isn’t just outsourcing everything to Foxconn.

Tesla’s biggest asset has, for a while, been hype. That’s why a single fatal accident is even mentioned in an article like this. How many fatal accidents did it take until people noticed Toyotas were accelerating uncontrollably? But since Tesla seemingly leads the industry in semi-autonomous driving and has an…
