The frustration is understandable, and honestly, I can even get behind his request that a brand-new car factory built to the correct specifications be delivered. As I read the responses to him, I think that he's being panned not for relating the story or for wanting BMW to fix their mistake, but rather for his…
I will grant that he does indeed appear to be quite reasonable in his responses, and I would agree that all things considered, he has something of a fair point with regards to asking BMW to show the customer the service that they are due.
Time will tell; it's not over yet. Just the other day, I heard two people in Starbucks talking about it. If it's gained enough momentum to be recognized by hipster Starbucks snobs, then it may yet have a chance.
Wow, another Aston Martin design plagued by gimmicky design cues that not only do little for the aesthetics, but do nothing for functionality, either. The open door frames? Really? They not only detract from the flow of the body lines, but I imagine they would detract from the car's aerodynamics on a track. Also, the…
I see. I do believe I know which one it is, and I very much look forward to reading your review.
Oh, come on. You can't just tell me that and leave me hanging! What car is it?
I think that with the Gallardo, they absolutely nailed the proportions, which is why it comes off as such an incredibly cohesive design. But to my eyes, it lacks a certain sensuousness and smoothness that keeps it a little short of being gorgeous. And honestly, I think that has to do with what a Lamborghini is; a…
True; it is a very subjective topic. I agree that it is a high-water mark in Lamborghini design as well, and I would also agree that it's arguably the best-looking car in its class (the 458 is ugly, the 911 variants are too self-derivative, and the McLaren is a little plain).
I agree with your implicit argument that time does not tarnish beautiful design, but I'm just not sure that the Gallardo is a particularly gorgeous car. It's aggressive and striking, to be sure. But gorgeous? I'm not sure that there has even been a Lamborghini that I would call gorgeous; not even the mighty (and much…
Good design may cost more than bad design, but time does not tarnish it.
Sarcasm, son. Sarcasm. On many different levels. With a dash of implicit social commentary in there for added flavor.
But why are the trucks not in focus?
The exterior doesn't do much for me, but Oh. My. God. That interior is beautiful. When I think of the idealized experience of wafting through the Eifel mountain range exploring the ruins of old castles and enjoying the scenery in a luxurious road-going chariot plush enough to make the barons and counts of old green…
Poor grapefruit...
Also, I like the two-column format much, much better. It's still a little complex for my taste, but it's otherwise much easier to peruse.
You owe me a new keyboard. I'll be sending you the bill shortly. That was the best laugh I've had in days.
