These are for denseass British biscuits only. 

A fun to drive, shittily built Korean FWD convertible.

Yup, the side treatment is very Mustang TIburon.

I just looked up the ingredient list and that thing’s technically not gochujang. Gochujang literally means chili pepper paste, but in Korea it specifically refers to paste that has fermented bean as one of the primary ingredients, of which this has none.

Some great ideas let down by hilariously clumsy writing, all overshadowed by genuinely dumb plot twists. 

Front grille big enough to hide turn signals is definitely eyecatchingly hideous (intended effect), but that rear 3/4 view is so good. I’m impressed that a big company greenlit such a massively impractical looking crease into the trunk lid for purely design reasons on a volume-selling car.

Definitely not counting in the same way I’m not counting all the other Pininfarina-contracted models originally commissioned by someone else. Hahaha.

Keep an entire production line open... or break a contract with a tiny company that hasn’t actually begun building anything...

Abscence of Pininfarina’s influence is so evident in modern Ferrari/Maserati designs. Regardless of how eyecatching they are, they look inelegant and unfinished.

Oops. I meant the F80 M3, not F90. Got it confused with E90.

Packaging is hell for sure, but there are modern car designs that just have creases and cuts for no particular reasons: see F90 M3's hood.

This is so incredibly satisfying.

No I mean Aston Martin also styled the car as well as engineer it. I believe the last Aston Martin model Zagato itself styled is the DBS Centennial, which I really like.

Porsche Carrera GTZ

If I recall, that particular model was designed by Aston Martin, not Zagato. Zagato just helped them build it. 

Anything with a bit of mass will cause damage regardless for this car unless you get the optional windscreen.

Yeah. It’s disappointing. I thought it would blow a jet of air around the cabin or something, not pop out an ungainly toaster deflector. Like a reverse Boxster.

I don’t think Laguna was the person who sent the kids to the orphanage. He was off in Esthar and didn’t know what had happened to them when he returned home.

If I recall, if you talk to Kiros or Ward on Ragnarok towards the end of Disk 3, one of them mumbles “like father, like son” or something to that effect.
