“The side profile, as many of you Interneters have already discussed”

“Profile” means “side view”, mister professional wordsmith.

Are you sure that’s not just a Mercedes G Wagon?

Bumper-Obviously-Through-Grille syndrome. It looks ridiculous. Manufacturers are ashamed of bumpers and proud of grilles. So, just run the bumper straight through the grille and cover it with black plastic so it’ll be totally invisible! Genius! It’s especially horrible on the FOcus STI, where most of the grille is…

Oh, man. It’s not “Ow ow?” I really should have made sure I mounted my steering wheel right side up.

Absolutely! Everyone knows the only way to film a video is to use a video projector to project your video tape onto a wall with a movie camera pointing at the projected image. Keep the room as dark as possible to maximize contrast in the resulting film... in your smartphone, apparently. You’re welcome!

“Film”? You might as well say “video tape”.

“Film”? You might as well say “video tape”.

Don’t ask for it. It would just wind up being a crossover.

(FTFY)

Just look at the “grille”. Behind the mesh or whatever you call it, it’s a solid wall of plastic. Like so many other cars today, the grille is fake. I doubt any weight was saved. It’s still a wall of plastic. It’s just ugly and not painted.

I’m with Tyson. If you find yourself using the word “awesome” daily, you have probably never actually experienced awe, and lack the independence to actually think about what you’re saying.

I’m imagining a lot of wildly overpriced “bell peppers and beef” (bell peppers and no beef and a few mushrooms).

Definitely trying too hard. Is this the “Compensator” trim level?

Thing 1: Alcantara is just polyester and urethane. It doesn’t last like leather, and it doesn’t wear like leather. After a few years it generally looks like hell. It’s a scam that it’s so stupid expensive anyway. That’s marketing for you.

“ the source clip itself is insanely overdramatic”
The word you’re looking for is “melodramatic” there, mister Professional Wordsmith.

“The highly expressively exoskeleton is completely analog...”
Proofread sometimes, perhaps. 

Two things.

“open the dampened tailgate”
“Dempened” means “wet”.
If the tailgate dropped with a soft, controlled action, the word you’re looking for is “damped”, mister professional wordsmith.

Maybe someone’s willing to pay twenty kilobucks for a like-new Civic SI that doesn’t look like it was designed by a six-year-old?

Much to like here, but man oh man, that stupid fake-grille-actually-bumper is terrible. This trend cannot die soon enough.
