“They both look generally handsome”

Honestly if they got rid of the excess chrome and made a single goddamn line on the thing match up, it wouldn’t be that bad.

Is it just me or is he starting to look like a Trump?

“The Cupra will likely be a performance-oriented hot hatch from the outset, but if VW offers a GTX version, I might have to line up to order one.”

To be fair, none of these exist yet and in all likelihood there will be plenty of other options by the time they do. One of the coolest things about EVs to me is that the automakers don’t seem to have as much of an issue buying someone else’s tech and popping it in their platform, so the more ubiquitous good motors…

Where I live the bro-dozers definitely slow down for speed bumps. Wouldn’t want to bend one of their cheap 22" rims. Might not slow down for the first one if they aren’t paying attention, but they will for the rest after it rattles the hell out of their shitty suspension lifts.

“What Happened That The Toyota Prius Looks Good?”

To be fair...

A “camper” roughly the size of a portapotty! Just what I’ve always wanted!

I’ll be honest. I really didn’t mind it until I saw it in profile. That hood is indeed way too long and, as Stephenson noted, "cartoonish".

Every time I see a 3rd gen MR2 I get irrationally tempted. A tossable drop top with Toyota reliability for easily under $10k? Where do I sign?! Then I remember I'm 6'2" and have 2 kids under 5.. Freakin' reality, man. It'll get you every time.

Yeah, I keep seeing the new Outlanders and all I can think is “Really? People are buying that fucking thing?!”

I wouldn’t go that far. I’m not necessarily of the opinion that there are "fine people on both sides", but there can definitely be shitty individuals on each end of the spectrum.

Think of it as a promotional endcap, I guess.

It’s funny how you never see liberals begging "Can we please just keep politics out of xyz?!" It's almost like we're not embarrassed and ashamed of our views.

I don't hate it. Which is surprising bc I really never cared for the SN95. I do think a set of aftermarket "tribute" wheels upsized to fit the wheel wells would look better though.

No.

“All you’d say is “drive me home” and the robot at the wheel would do the rest. You don’t need a turn signal stalk when you’re a passenger in a taxi cab.

Maybe people would be less offended if it were shorter when it’s such a small detail? A new article category, Torch’s Tidbits?

“It’s ok to give people extra content over stuff they’re actually interested in, even if a lot of it is silly.”
