You’re right, but the issue is a bit more complicated. As fantastic as a X% reduction in crashes would be, the real issue is not how many crashes will be avoided, but how crashes will get redistributed across all passengers. Look up demographic and accident data to see which groups are disproportionately affected (e.g.…

Sometimes, nature want to hear a nice NA V10... which this doesn’t have. So yeah, make it electric. The current one sounds pretty bad.

I’m sure that looks lovely next to your daily driver.

There are a few periods of garbage automotive design, but early 2000s might be the absolute worst. So here’s a game: Concept car or some kid’s high school CAD project?

What, then, makes a poser in your book? Is the entire concept bunk? I’m following this conversation with some confusion.

I am genuinely curious what the author et al. would think of products created with a specific sex in mind (and informed by market research), but not marketed to any sex in particular - essentially “secret” male/female cars. Would that just be a subtler but no less nefarious act, in their opinion?

And to think, Audi made one of the most attractive SUVs just a decade ago. I (somehow, in the US) saw one of the V12 TDI versions on the road recently. Such exquisite styling, from the tastefully large grille to the sublime cutlines of the rear hatch. They used to look like something Bond would drive, despite the…

I posted this above. If my anecdote means anything, I predict you’ll get some seat time just by wearing shoes and a shirt in 2020.

About four years ago, a friend and I pulled into an Alfa Dealer to check out the 4Cs and 500 Abarths. Within an hour, and with me explicitly telling the salesman that I’m not in the market, we both had driven a 4C at the urging of the salesmen. They were desperate even then. It was quite funny when some dealer…

I wish we had more transverse mid-engine cars, for design’s sake alone. Most of the benefits of the “correct layout” but without a jammed-forward cab or a weird C-pillar-into-haunches region.

What in the dickens are those paired, glass-enclosed hooks? Or is that what they are?

Look at the most redundant application of a “GB” badge, ever.

I’d fly that plane.

Oh, I’m painfully aware. It’s the reason I have an Elise but any of my Lotus computer wallpapers are Exiges. They just knew that owners wanted hinged clams from the factory... and saved costs by omitting the hinges. The jerks.

Lol Some manufacturers try to integrate it into the design, others try to hide it, and Lotus adds a fake one because it’s the only “panel gap” that’s consistent on their cars.

You monster, go die, you’re very dumb, waste of life, etc. I do this corect?

My only request is that it looks as sinister as the P1. The P1 set a bar that recent McLarens haven’t yet surpassed. And no, I didn’t forget the rejected-90's-concept Speedtail and blobfish-with-mascara 720s.

Almost. It’s actually the Cybercar, from when Musk was just an intern at AM.
