"We are in a position to launch the production process as soon as the market and infrastructure are ready."

Hi, person who lives right next to the 405 on the west side here! Like, 2 blocks away. This article may well be in reference to my neighborhood, at least partly. I'm a renter, though, so I don't matter!

Eh, but the shapes of the cars are pretty different. The C has the humpback S Class thing going, and the rear end is totally different from the E Class. The E is more angular and the trunk is an E Class trunk, no other Benz has that styling. Having similar fascias is branding, I'd argue. Having similar profiles,…

This may have been the funniest thing I've ever read on Jalopnik.

Too long; didn't Wankel.

I have to agree. Living in LA, I see my fair share of Lambos, and they're inevitably being driven on a high-traffic thoroughfare - a place where they can be seen, heard, and proceed at roughly 5-30MPH before being parked by a valet at some luxury hotel, club, or overpriced restaurant. They're purses with wheels.

One I couldn't fall off of.

Speed bump.

Pretty much this: some of it is old, and all of it is still, at the end of the day, a 1970s rocket design largely unchanged since then.

Doug, I agree with everything you said.

I actually think the new, much less Allroad-capable Allroad looks pretty good, though. The car this monstrosity should have been.

Yeah, this is a little overdone. A lot of blowouts in the background, and I ain't talking about tires.

hnnnnng so much want

The American terminal at LAX. Bad restaurants, bad stores, terrible design, and a mile long walk to your plane (at least it feels like it).

So, funny story about parade / display cars for local PDs. I was at a festival in Beverly Hills the other day, and BHPD was there looking to recruit. Guess what their department promo cars are?

Because everyone who really wanted one either went to HK to get it or got a relative abroad to send them one, or paid a black market premium for one after it dropped in the US. The fanboys, by and large, have probably been running around with their 6s for weeks at this point.

This is eventually going to become so popular in West LA that UberX will start avoiding the area more. I'm so not excited about this.

The fact remains that no one needs a cab. I'm not even going to touch all the free market laissez-faire bullshit, but Uber is a service that provides a luxury, and generally manages to do so at a cost that undercuts the traditional taxi or black car services considerably, with a lot less headaches.

Because it's the thing. There's no really good reason to test at the Nurburgring versus one of a hundred other tight road courses on earth, other than setting a Nurburgring lap time which you can then publish to try and humiliate your competitors. It is solely an act of one-upsmanship, and has no special material…

Hasn't Disney been on the forefront of pneumatic robotics since, well, Disneyland? They're one of the few companies AFAIK still investing heavily in the tech.
