I really find the economic defensibility of pirating ridiculous. It’s silly and completely avoids the reason most (note, not all) people pirate: because they don’t want to or cannot afford to pay for something.

*Note: those who did not laugh were blindfolded. Or blind.

There is literally no reason to believe this car will come to America. Let alone that it would even pass crash tests here. I'm really not sure why anyone is trying to raise hopes on this.

I’d prefer if we could relegate the buttons you’ll use once a month to a touchscreen and keep the ones you’re using every single day. I’m certainly not saying kill all the buttons, and I think Tesla’s approach is equally silly and convoluted, it’s just at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to Porsche. Porsche…

Safety-schmafety. Look at all that space for manipulating holocubes!

Oh, that explains the $6000 markup quite well. They should call it the Macan OCD.

Is everyone in the Mercedes-Benz concept department on drugs? It seems like they are.

Deep, dark, delicious secrets.

MIDDLE GROUND “OK”

I am amenable to saving some of the buttons.

Is it a joke yet that Porsches have too many fucking buttons? They have too many god damn buttons. AND THERE ARE STILL BLANKS FOR THREE MORE, STOP THE BUTTON MADNESS.

They ditched it on the ‘16 Jetta as well, the base is now a 1.4T. The best part? Makes just as much torque as the 1.8T for substantially less money, and gets better MPG. 20 fewer BHP, but you save ~80-90lbs if you opt for an auto 1.4T vs an auto 1.8T.

omg the paper license plate

THE HORROR

VIDEOS IMMEDIATELY!

The early NC is indeed Peak Miata Ugly. It looks like it got stung by a bee and then looked in a mirror: “OH!”

In a world where cars had to be pieced together from scrap parts and paint had become a long-lost luxury, the DMC-12 would look great.

Indeed, most ugly objects look better in a hue the human eye has difficulty distinguishing subtle shapes on. :P

The Enzo looks like a P2 prototype with an aftermarket body kit. The car was never considered beautiful by almost anyone - it was always garish and divisive. It is strangely-proportioned, jarringly sculpted (like it has chunks missing), and the headlights simply reek of aero-afterthought.

I’ll have that.
