Yes, much rather that one, but please without the almost Soviet fuel consumption of one failed oil state per mile.

It’s a shame this is dying a slow death. Hardly available in Western countries anymore after Lada Germany basically stopped importing them.

This is a fantastic story, thanks for sharing!

Sweden is Urop's little America to begin with. 🤪 And that Audi looks like a clown car to me, but to each their own.

I agree, and I live like that already. But the environmental impact of spreading out isn’t good. For the planet, and for the diversity of human lifestyles, accepts all kinds of ways to live. City life has its perks, as does rural life.

This must be specific to US cities, but at least in a European context, your comment is downright stupid, sorry. Having everything you need accessible in daily life, within 15 minutes, does not mean you can’t leave your zone like som freaking hunger games dystopia. Just take the tram/subway/Uber/whatever to a…

More backstory please! Is this a factory design, factory modification, or some dictator's private vision? It looks fantastic! Can't believe this old gem is rigid enough to not have cracked the glass.

Does anybody know if frosting the window, like in the new Toyota Venza, would help?

Fake wood is something Americans do and it would look colossally out of place here.

With your current A list status in China, expect Deng Slæng to produce the Ra 81 two weeks from now, with a design...eh...borrowed from you.

Hello from Norway here. Yes, population density, also, riding our polar bears to work on individual ice shelves makes for decent social distancing.

Oh, I get that part, and Japanese offroaders are very popular here in Norway, too. It’s just that I consider the Wrangler not particularly good at anything. It’s unreliable and poorly made - which should irk the Japanese especially - too heavy to be a good offroader, tight inside and very heavy on fuel. This is what I…

Can you imagine to buy a Jeep in Japan? Surrounded by awesome, mostly small cars, someone decides to choose a huge exterior-small interior offroad crapcan for their ride. I respect the choice, but I don't understand it.

Yeah, it’s sacrilege, but when you see what people already do to these cars....also, it would be an easy sell, this engine.

Yes, in the newest cars. Now imagine a VG40 or GZ50 with a Tesla drivetrain. I would love that!

Volvo almost went bankcrupt this way in 1990. New product was necessary to remain competitive, the 850 fixed that.

The problem is that this is how companies go bankcrupt - making too good products with few necessary changes over time so that even loyal customers feel no need to buy a new one.

I just recently tried to find out if someone had switched a Tesla drivetrain into a Toyota Century yet. That would be perfection - comfortable silence and bottomless power.

If you add front and rear overhang, you might have more length than what's between the axles. Crazy priorities, in design and physics.

A spacious family car with SUV riding height but a balanced exterior, great road control and vision, as well as leading safety, ergonomics and reliability.
