Drifting as well.....as in “not on the gas drifting down the road” but semantics.

Had the manual GLS version. It was a great car. Looked good, was fun to drive, the O2 sensors which died with some regularity, the side trim molding shot off while on the highway...... It was my third and last VW as I started to prefer reliability.....

Yeah, but these will have bluetooth or something.....

capable of “autonomous cruise, obstacle avoidance, independent planning and independent learning.”

I do love a resto-mod but not sure this Fiat even qualifies. It is not exactly a looker in my opinion (sorry) either. The idea of fun engine in small car is great but this seems to expensive in a marginal package.

Its your brain doing this

Finally, an article on real sports with real athletes! I am sure they are paid appropriately for their sacrifice. A trophy with toilet paper ......quilted 4 ply at least? Great read.

“ but also with how badly it wants to continue living on.”

First Gear:

Any business model that relies on users (that are paying minimal amounts) to apply decency and common sense is flawed. I love the idea of scooters in theory, I hate them in practice.

ahhh, the fake minivans. Yes. My sister in law drives her kids in a massive Chevy Suburban because she would not be caught dead in our Odyssey. In Atlanta, it is all Suburbans, Range Rovers or anything else that avoids the stigma of openly admitting that you have a family!

I clearly do not understand the market dynamic in China because a converted box van vs a converted family hauler seems like a silly argument. Neither one is a good look. The executive style sedans look infinitely better than any of these from the outside. Chinese market aside (granted that is a BIG aside) imho the…

“Run” may be a bit aspirational for this. How about a slow jog or fast walk.

Didn’t Mercedes already do this with the sprinter van?  If you want a luxury van, get a luxury van.  Why have a 3/4 scale luxury “mini” van.

Not sure theft is high on those list of worries. Worse case, you will just have to walk 100 yards down the road to pick it up from where it broke down on the would be thief.

David, I am sure you will look back on these trips in 10 years and the terrible aspects of it will not seem so terrible anymore. You will be left with only the good memories.

Yeh, but it includes free nitrogen in the tires and window etching.....

Say goodbye to door dings! I am parking next to these whenever I can find one! That’s one of the reasons I park next to minivans now. Sliding doors are less of a risk to my car than the suburban with car seats in the back......

Since it is “carbon fiber” limited use may be what it is best for. I am skeptical on the durability claims, although as others have pointed out this is not a carbon weave but likely a reprocessed carbon infused plastic. I am betting these will bear obvious fake carbon fiber weave markings to impress the customer base.…

Why it took so long for them to make it?
