My wife and I drove the S660 earlier this year, thanks to Omoshiro Rent-a-car in Noda. Even though I’m 6' 2" and not skinny, I was able to fit comfortably into it for a long day trip throughout the countryside. It was one of the most fun cars I’ve ever driven. When you’re in something that small and agile, speed is…
Nope, sorry, not on board.
Please tell me your family business was slingin’ parts for Harry.
I think they should have done this as a tribute, but with a GT350 on the trailer
Towing ? Check !
Power !? Check
Handling ! Check.
Practicality ? yes !
Wagon FTW !
No way in high a factory LT1 Camaro was anywhere close to the 11s let alone 13s. You are mistaking for the LT4 Vettes with the dohc heads.
As you requested: Snob
Trademark law is a thing.
How many reasonably affordable cars are available with RWD and V8’s outside of a dodge dealer? It doesn’t hurt they haul both dirt and ass.
The new Prius design is, somehow, almost infinitely worse than the last one. And that’s saying a lot.
How else were people supposed to know you spent double the money with half the fun of a Miata?
Bangle is done with the butt. He’s moved on to the front end.
Even though he didn’t design it personally he still let this happen under his watch. Bangle 7 series rear ends I can tolerate but I get emotionally ill every time I see this crease “design” feature dent on the road.
$5 says it’s Mitsuoka
It has a completely different greenhouse, side vents, rear end, and tail lights. Other than being sporty sedans, there’s really not much there that’s similar.
It looks like it took every design trend of the last 5 years and synthesized them into a new sedan.
Hopefully gets 40mpg, Hopefully costs $24,999, Hopefully Hyundai will send me a free one.
I agree. I really wish I could remember where I read an insider defense of his work, but I can’t so I’ll paraphrase.
Bangle is a shockingly underrated designer with surprisingly few misses to his name, and to be honest, he’s right. With only a few exceptions, car design has gotten super stale and boring. Not everything he did was good, but it was all original.
