What They Did Right: GMC Yukon Edition

Link, for the lazy: This is the new 2015 Chevy Suburban

Fair point. I would argue, though, that the sharp corner (seen here, and on the Cadillacs) lend a muscular, solid look, while the Cruze's curved line looks droopy. It's all about the finished look.

Hockey stick graphic remains from when GM owned Saab.

This little extension in the headlamp nicely highlights the squared-off, wide fenders - a GMC design trait. At the same time, it manages to echo the new Cadillac designs, lending a premium (yet still family) feel.

What I'm saying is that the MC12 aped the Enzo layout - and the Birdcage would have to do the same. There's no way that this car would drape over the LaFerrari and stay beautiful.

I wish - but the MC12 was so close to the Enzo in powertrain layout - it was the only way Maserati could afford to build it. The Pininfarina Birdcage is so different in packaging, I worry they'd have to ruin it to make it financially feasible.

Can we briefly talk about the things done much better than on the E9x M3, briefly? Instead of just criticizing, that is.

Pedestrian crash regs. It's much easier to meet the Euro-NCAP pedestrian impact protection rules if you don't kneecap all the dummies. The rules define a certain amount of maximum force applied to the knee in a side-on pedestrian collision - and impacting the knee/thigh/calf with a deformable plastic panel (the bumper…

The Chinese carriers have the same problem. And if you think carriers are only good for going to war, you're forgetting their primary purpose - peacetime projection of power. The Indian carrier can project far less power than a Nimitz.

And yet - you're right! The problem with ramp-launched planes is that they can carry much less payload than an identical plane launched from a catapult. The Chinese & Indian carrier wings will have a far shorter range than those launched from Nimitz/QE class ships, and they'll be able to carry fewer things that you…

0:29 - Man inexplicably throws a traffic cone in celebration of a race start.

Correct! They're actually early versions of the wingtips that Boeing is developing for the 737 MAX - seen here.

Yes, ordinary citizens have serious-looking Swiss Guard walking alongside their meticulously-maintained, hand-waxed foci.

I would say the T-55/54.

Don't you guys still use T-55 hulls? The Achzarit is a modified T-55, some of which (likely) date back to WWII - they were first introduced in 1947.

The Cadillac Allanté should count double for its sins. Not only was it slow and overpriced, GM outsourced both the design and body production to Pininfarina. That meant it was first built in Italy, where it left the factory as a bodyshell. Then it was shipped to Detroit - where it was made worse by the addition of…

Oh, he's probably combing through every shred of data they've ever collected praying it wasn't his fault.
