I like how the R8-like rear blade goes around the passenger cell like a second chassis. The end looks somewhat like a round VW Golf from the future, an inconspicuos passenger vehicle from I, Robot or something. Insane. Like a space shuttle/futuristic vehicle/2050 VW Golf end is put at the end of a 3/4th BMW 3-series…
America must be paradise.
In Germany, a V6 (even if small and not very powerful) is great.
You wear the "V6"-badge with pride on your Camry, not because you are boring to chose a Toyota, you chose the car because it has a large, powerful engine. Something cool and somewhat rare.
Not a 2 liter inline-4, you have 6…
They also are the only kind of people in Europe who can say f*** the (relatively) high price, that it's not practical, that it consumes expensive gas (and lots of it), that it costs a fortune in taxes (high displacement) and an even bigger fortune to insure (sports car, fast, displacement) and that it on top is a Ford…
Wait, of the ten worst public transit systems IN THE WORLD, 7 are in the states? And the ninth worst transit system is actually really good and working well but could simply use a subway line? The seventh worst one has just to few subway lines and trains?
As the generation that fought World War II passes on, it can be difficult for younger people to remember that it was a war fought not by the elderly in black and white, but by millions of Americans in vivid color. These gorgeous images, via Shorpy, remind us just how vivid that war was.
Are there wallpaper sized versions anywhere? 970 x 546 pixels doesn't really cut it on a Retina display.
"In Northern European countries driving is taken more seriously because that's the culture, it has nothing to do with the government."
It's not about ignoring a classic's beauty like an 911, Mustang, 8C, Stingray or an old Ferrari. Of course the Gallardo is a classic and beauty, but just because it looks good doesn't mean they can keep the same design forever. The Gallardo looks dated; what means it on the one hand is a classic beauty but on the…
Wow. I didn't realize how power-spoiled you Americans really are until I read this post. A 240HP SUV is called underpowered and insanely slow. A 140 HP Volkswagen Van is measy. A 170HP wagon too.
I am still waiting for a picture of a snake riding a horse in a fighter jet. I think "Ford (American Car Company) Mustang (Pony) Super (Better) Cobra (Snake) Jet (Plane)" is the stupidest and most ridiculous name mashup in automotive history.
I always loved Jalopnik since the new kinja system for not having this stupid and f'ed up Gizmodo commenting system. It was clean, simple, you could concentrate on all posts and expand if you wanted to.
I think it sounds way too long when the gears are changed. And a bit early, I think. Sounds like it's loosing time.
