I have a coworker who was an engineer on the GE90, and his first reaction was "thank god it wasn't my engines."

How do they even make a pop-up antenna in 2013?

But here's why people are concerned: it adds more credibility to the rumor that Fiat could kill off Dodge in the next few years. As Autoguide explains, the lack of the Grand Caravan and the Avenger (which will be missed by exactly no one) leaves Dodge only with the Durango, Challenger, Charger, Dart and Journey.…

Tail happy is an understatement, the rear wheels would lift off of the road.

You presume that the square lights are projectors, and not just show-car EL light pipes.

I'm pretty sure it is because Audi's hood line is higher - and therefore the bit that hits a pedestrian in crash testing is (relatively) lower. On the BMW, the roundel/kidney area is roughly knee height - where it needs to be deformable plastic. On the Audi, the badge is also knee height - with the hood being at…

I think the Chevy is less bad looking than the NV. That proboscis is a major turn-off.

Somehow, this is less ugly than the original.

203k on the chassis isn't actually that ridiculous - if, in fact, it did have this 'frame up' rebuild (not really a restoration) in 1993. If that's the same time as the powertrain was redone, we've got what is effectively a 60k '77 911 - which is pretty low. Now, this all depends on whether 'frame up' includes things…

It's not that the automotive companies don't value drivers' lives - it's that the consumers themselves don't. In Brazil, nobody will pay more for a safer car - and they'll buy an unsafe car that's cheaper than a safe car.

That, and the fact that they had to show an AMC hornet flying instead of a pinto - because (in what is quite literally the most blatant product placement ever) AMC paid them to. Also of note: Bond takes an AMC from a dealership, then jumps it in a loop.

A faux-American bastardization of an American bastardization of a British sportscar, by an American bastardization of a German company - badged as a dead British company.

Even better, you can occasionally see a Sim climb a ladder to the billboard and change the lettering - to the same ad!

Also, the car comes in only two colors, black and white. According to Ssangyong, the black choice is for a "dignified image," and white emphasizes "cleanliness and elegance." Those who want red, yellow, blue, brown, chartreuse, mauve, pink, orange, puce, or olive drab need not apply.

Someone please tell me how to retrofit this dock to my GTI, then hack to to let me change tune and run a boost gauge.

For the civvies the L9 is quite a bit lighter, thanks to all the armor and bulletproof glass removed, but somehow it still maintains its flag posts on the front fenders. I suppose that's so you can mount a Hoonigan shirt on one side and Blipshift shirt on the other, just so people know what you stand for.

I humbly submit the Rolls Royce Phantom IV state car. One of 18 built, it was designed exclusively for the use of royalty and heads of state. Francisco Franco owned 3. So does the royal family in the UK.

This green Civic was involved in the shootout in Watertown, according to reports on Twitter. @AKitz has a photo

I'd bet it's either crash or repair cost related. Perhaps styling related - it'll make mid-cycle refreshes easier.
