Wait was the S4 ever an M or AMG fighter? I thought that was the RS’s job.

The CB-F Concept seems to take the UJM look, rake it more aggressively, and add some modern lighting.

I feel like the japanese bike makers have become like the US Big 3 - endlessly regurgitating ‘retro’ Mustangs, Camaros and Chargers designed to capture the boomer market.

Maybe it’s a good thing that he won’t end up at a trash school run by a religious flim-flam man.

Wait, what? I’m defending people posting food photos on social media during the pandemic. Or do you mean my snark about gym selfies? Those have been an obnoxious staple for years, the pandemic doesn’t change that, except now they’re posted with a home backdrop instead of at a gym because those are closed. Are you

At first glance I thought it was fairly decent if overwhelmingly boring, but actually it does have all the hallmarks of a McMansion Hell target:

Filed to Real Estate? Don’t we have a Houselopnik category?

Ford could have engineered an interior hinged door that’s removable, which would be a pretty neat feature.

I'd take this over a defender tbh based on what I hear about Britain's understanding of electricity. 

Am I the only one that likes the little guy? A bit of retro, but still seems new. Yes it has shades of land rover, but is that so bad? If it’s decently powered and nice to drive I’d consider one for my wife’s next vehicle.

Because it looks like it was made in microsoft office 2003. 3D gradients are out. 

I hate it.  But I’ll get used to it.  In fact, it’s sort of an improvement.  Actually I prefer it.  The next one after this will be terrible, surely.

No description of her alleged crime, and the “fraud” link you have in the article points to the Portuguese-English dictionary entry for the word “fraud”?

Having worked in conservation research in Africa, there is not a lab in the world that would buy one of these when dead-reliable, easy-to-maintain old Land Cruisers are absolutely everywhere. Nobody is so well-funded that they wouldn’t rather put that money toward lab equipment, field gear, staff, or time in the

It’s not rocket science. Have you ever been around an expedition vehicle? Or any utility conversion? Hint: they don’t build them out of unibody cars. The Defender shares the same platform as the e-Pace. It’s pretty easy to draw some conclusion from that fact. For the same reasons you won’t see an e-pace or a Rav-4

I think it’s unrealistic for groups to buy them for places like Africa. Land Rover gave up on that market 20 years ago. So it’s basically 99.9% Land Cruiser now. I think it’s about 50:1 sales Land Cruiser vs Land Rover. So that means that there’s an entire service and support network in place for the Toyotas. If you

Exactly. I think they underestimate how important range is, but also don’t want to compete on the thin margins they would need for the larger batteries. But Porsche for example had no excuse. The fact that they had no long range variant for the Taycan is insane. And anyone who owns an EV (I have one)- that range

Yeah, front end looks legacy manufacturer. Grilles are passe design elements reserved for ICE vehicles. This is a design crutch and a great representation of where the brand currently sits: Choking on it’s own legacy as it gets passed by the younger generation.

I was thinking the same thing. The rest of the car looks great. The rear is a little weird, but not bad. The profile is as gorgeous as a 3 series should be. Or a 4, whatever this is supposed to be. The interior looks, well, like a concept.

Squint really really hard and look past this awful photoshop. It’s a shame that their designs have potential but they simply concede to poor-taste customers, which IMO is a very short-lived marketing decision.
