She was completely shocked. "He was the best driver in the world! What do you mean he DIED?!"

For what it's worth, I took my girlfriend to Senna. She likes cars, but wasn't into racing. She loved the movie and was the only one in the theater who didn't know the ending to the story. lol

I did not see this coming. First reaction when I saw it was Toyota's answer to the Fiat 500 Abarth, but with WAY more power. At least Toyota can still consider high performance, at least.

Good call. I could definitely see that happening.

What disappointed me the most in the translation from prototype to production car was:

- Headlight treatment
- Wheel selection
- Perceived body height (to me, the production car's body looks significantly taller than the prototype's)

I realize I'm being irrational, but I have that right since I'm on the internets. lol

Do you pay extra, or get a credit, for a -1 wheel swap for these cars?

The three vehicles that absolutely needed to be on this list:

- W123 Mercedes running biodiesel
- Volvo 240
- Saab 900

Are there, so I'm satisfied in that regard. I'm pretty surprised the VW Camper wasn't on the list, though. They're way more Hipster™ than a Toyota Hiace, in my opinion.

YUP!

I think it looks great. The P1800 touches are welcomed, and I really like the proportions of the car.

You are not the only one.

Paging Tipper Gore. Tipper Gore to the PMRC headquarters for a strategy session, please!

Disband the TSA.

I've only had to live with that from Houston to Cleveland, but it's definitely not fun. Earbuds to the rescue!

Someone should try posting this article on Jezebel to see how it goes there...

Don't you mean huge tracts?

Nah. There are nerds here. You're good.

Unsuccessful styling modifications. Rejected.

Juan Lawman, or Bob Loblaw?

From the standpoints of rewarding smooth control inputs and efficient line selection I think they're very good. I don't know how well they simulate wheelspin, general loss of traction and vehicle behavior over bumps though.

Regardless, they're both gorgeous to look at.

NP, but absolutely not based on logic in any conceivable way.
