It’s not necessarily a lack of respect for the engineering involved, more that compared to the massive leap in automotive performance the Veyron had when it was released this seems more like a baby step. The sad thing is that we’ll probably never see another leap like that because physics is a bitch.

Always good to see the non-cup holder nations viewing themselves as superior still/again. It’s all culture and perceived time management. Why stop and get coffee when I can just throw it in an insulated cup with a lid and drink it on my way to work? Why stop and eat when I can grab something easy to eat while driving…
If were being literal, which I often am, that’s over 6' tall so it’s probably closer to two metric tonnes.
If only it had the option to buy one with the camouflage still on it.
Who posts a picture of a Milan without it also including Jill Wagner? Fail.
This was my first thought. The VQ engine in all sizes was pretty notorious for timing chain issues on both the primary and secondaries from about 2005 to 2010.
So which of these have a third row that people with a head and legs can fit in?
I’m more surprised in the amount. If that would have been in the US you can add a zero or two and then multiply it by two because it would have been individually against each.
Not buying that Audi is reliable at all, let alone the best.
Here’s an interesting comparison in 71 of the Vega and the Pinto. Yeah, cars were shit. They looked cool back then but I personally don’t have the patience to mess with one. They make modern british cars look reliable. http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/ch…
Dozens of high school girls are going to be so disappointed.
Yes. It’s not like the profile is really any different then in a rendering, just comparing shapes. The X5 and Q7 are wagon ish so they look like SUVs, the X looks like an S with a higher belt line. Its more in line with the X6 and I’m not even sure what to classify that as. I think BMW claims it’s a “Sports Activity…
This. It’s not so much a test of SUV vs minivan but a test of safety systems of a modern vehicle to one designed in the 80s. Back before reinforced passenger compartments with crumple zones, side impact door beams, energy absorbing steering columns, engines that drop down instead of shoving straight through the…
So...not to sound dumb, but what makes this an SUV? I can’t find an angle where it comes close to resembling an SUV or CUV. Oh wait, I think I figured it out! Is it the extra several hundred pounds of weight for no reason besides “cool doors bro?"
Kanye says to pray that he overcomes. Kanye thinks he’s God. So pray to Kanye for Kanye?
People are not looking at the whole picture with gas prices. As oil tanks so does most other industries and commodities. Yes, my vehicle is a little cheaper to fill up and home a little cheaper to heat but the amount lost in my 401k and home value over the last four months alone has a few more zeroes behind it.
As fascinated I am with ships, the Titanic and her sisters especially, hell yeah I would.
I can hear the CVT whining from here.
Most of the systems can be tested with the ship in service and I’d be surprised if the water tight doors and pumps weren’t tested or even put into use in this particular situation.
