@weatherman: Note the lack of windows. Somehow I doubt this is his ride to work on the 405.

The article also says the govment is worried about the company's lack of expertise. I guess it makes some sense, the chinese may never have used their xerox's print function before.

@TimTim: And superman only for the tight pant...moral virtuousness?

@mentir: @pauljones: Yeah yeah, probably shouldn't have started commenting before my coffee.

@Taco Mudplushroomz: Dear God. Who would buy such a thoughtlessly laid-out vehicle??

@pauljones: I don't know, I like Audi getup but it's pretty boring when EVERY car in your line up is the same CAD drawings scaled 110% over the last. The A8 doesn't look more luxurious or classy over the 4. Why am I spending all that extra dough? Same with the XJ concept floating around. It looks cheap, and like they…

@King of all Cosmos: 2(0)b or not 2(0)b there is no question: I had no idea what was going on. Michael Bay must be short on cash?

@AngryChineseDriver — R.I.P., Audi R8 Decepticon: Maybe it was the TDi?

@Neener: Dude there's naked robots all over the damn thing??

@akirachan: While I haven't followed said freedom car and am unable to comment there, I'd hardly be giving the new 7-series any compliments. It looks to me like a Botoxed stretched and tucked 1. Shouldn't a flagship look classier, not draw inspiration from your smallest overpriced hunk of melted-clay douche-bucket?…

@TimTim: I was very confused the first time I saw M-badged running boards climbing into an X3. I was even more confused to find out it was official and not Pep Boys stickers. Common or enthusiast, the things for which the douche will expend his earnings...

@S***dinavian F***k: So when/where did this bloodcopy reference come from anyways?

@Shandy706: I'll admit it looked better in the renderings than it does in real life. Clearly we just need to skip this whole reality thing and go straight to the holodecks.

@Flagrant German Fanboy: Yes. This is going in the garage right next to my Birdcage and 599xx.

Holy tacos! Jalop is the gift that just keeps on giving. This is absolutely perfect for my 64 t-bird! I've got a CD player hidden in the center console now but I've long thought about getting a new one with a 3.5mm jack. I call it sleeper audio

Roman numerals on the knob! I have to remember that for my Scion.

I still don't get though why Ford et al can't come up with styling languages uniquely American like they had back in the day. The car looks great, don't get me wrong, but it's still a razor-grilled camry with some granny lincoln strangeness at the back. I want to see something that says AMERICAN the way an old falcon…

@cchannel: Curious there's no ass shots though. How can we vote dragon-able if there's no way to check for proper equipment in the rear.

@willyolio: I don't think it's a question of what will make the highest-performance vehicle possible. There are already compromises in any street-legal car. Performance is great, but think of your favorite cars of all time, were every single one of them the record holders at the 'Ring at their release? There's way…

Goddamnit. I saw this at first and thought this was announcing the 400 actually coming to the states. Sigh...
