I am far more invested in these Changli articles than I had anticipated. Looking forward to seeing more.

If a Sinclair C5 could be included in the mix, it totally should. 

The driving position is central, if memory serves. Or the vehicle is so narrow, that it’s left, right AND central all at the same time. Wouldn’t that be a timesaver?

I’ve never seen a Pacer in the metal, but agree on the grille redesign being a retrograde step.

I know. I was trying to be charitable. 

Glad it’s not just me without my glasses on, so. 

There was due to be a new S40, but talk of it has diminished of late. I don’t think this car has any particular equivalent in the Volvo lineup. 

Even my old S60 was cramped in the back seats. This doesn’t seem to be anything new for Volvo. I have an ‘06 V70 now, whose boot is so cavernous, my voice practically echoes when I unload my groceries. But the back seats are still fairly lax when it comes to legroom. And I do not have my driver’s seat very far back at…

Even as a Volvo fanboy, I have to agree with this. The colour palette is extremely limited. I do love the Polestar blue. I’m wondering if we’ll see this on a Volvo again any time soon though?

Yeah, mate, don’t think I’m the one showing signs of being triggered here.

Lockdown getting to ya, huh?

Is Jalopnik obliged to mention Hyundai in every story, and to do so in an ever more fawning manner?

I’m going to need to take some more time to properly go through this, but I can already tell I’m not going to do well. 

Yes, delaying the rule change is so selfless of these multi-million dollar operations.

The teams not being ready was part of the reason I was looking forward to the rule change. Might’ve mixed things up a bit. Now I’ll have to not watch F1 for another six or seven years (because they’ll just keep delaying). 

The cookie question is difficult for me to answer because I’ve never heard of half of them. In saying that, I’m an American two-door sedan with a front-mid mounted flat three engine with a rear-wheel drive set-up. The car is called the Shantanananana, and it’s really fun to drive, but has shitty build quality. 

Super article. It’s a subject I know little of myself despite living on this island my whole life. I know now that if I find myself in Cork again any time soon, I should probably keep my surname to myself. It’s Dunlop, but I’m not related to John Boyd or anything to do with the tyre company. As far as I know. 

Where across the border did you holiday as a matter of interest? (Dubliner here, born to a Belfast father, currently living in Co. Monaghan). 

Not questionable at all if you ask me. They’re clearly failing. I’m almost embarrassed for them. They make the Irish transitional government we’re currently saddled with look competent. 

My Irish education can’t do much better. My father is from Northern Ireland and decided to move to Dublin when, one morning, the bus on which he was commuting was stopped by armed, balaclava’d men. One of them knew my dad by name, and told him to make himself scarce before the bus got torched. That was the straw that…
