Heh heh. The article was written by a guy named TORCHinsky.

TL;DR:

Engineer here (not aerospace, but dabbled in it in school), and the answer is: pretty much, at least with current materials and technology. It's relatively close to spherical (as opposed to an aircraft shape or something else), which is good for being a pressure vessel (stronger) and having the largest volume/surface…

I think it will be, yes.

Lancia Fulvia, in my opinion the best looking car to ever come from Italy.

I seem to remember from back in the day that all you had to do to fix the "eta" series engines was to swap out the Bosch fuel injection chip for a different one and suddenly the engine was back to its usual BMW inline 6 glory.

W126 86&87 300SDL - But I still get your point. The 88+ 350 diesel had too many issues.

Factory-stroked* 2.7L

None of the above:

Who wants to hear some rumors?

I guess you have t understand the fundamental difference between your Mercedes suspension engineer and Mr. Ian Callum: one is an engineer, and the other is a designer.
The Mercedes might be mechanically ideal already, but since no design is completely "timeless," in a designer's eyes it is seen as an imperfection that…

This is what I was thinking. They are probably losing some sales to the twins and want to cover that area of the market.

These days it's generally pronounced rust-bucket, however originally it was ex-one-nine. The X1 was, at the time, Fiat's internal code for car development and this one happened to be the ninth one. The 128 was coded named X1/1 and the 1975 Lancia Monte Carlo (Lancia being owned by Fiat by then) was the X1/20.

First, a Ford GT, and then an Escalade like this one.

The laguna coupe was offered for some of the peugeot's run.

So these can't be that common, right? I just happened to be watching the Top Gear episode from Series 15 last night where Andy Garcia was telling JC that he wanted his Peugeot diesel wagon back.
