When I bought my used Jaguar convertible, this disc was in the CD changer:

Overcomplicated, busy designs with too many character lines/creases.
I took a photo of a the headlight of a parked Lexus one day that perfectly encapsulated the issue:

“It also looks rad,”

How’s about fucking Android Auto instead?

Does anybody care though?

As in, hotter than the John Cooper Works Clubman?
What do you want more than 300hp/331lb-ft and AWD for in a car like this lol?

That’s fair enough - but I’d disagree with the “should age well” on the model as initially released. The refresh - yes, but the front of the OG one is from the “Beakura” era and it just doesn’t look good.

Honestly I think part of the underwhelming reception of the NSX as released was twofold; first - its styling was merely “meh”, and second, its development had been dripfed in plain sight (with chops/changes to specs along the way) so that by the time it was revealed it was a known quantity - old hat on day 0. That…

“Engine Stop-Start Systems Are Good, Actually”

Most trims of Mini have a HUD now (I think all but the base?) so I think this is actually a pretty safe bet.

anyone else see this and think “What advantages does this motorcar have over, say, a train. Which I could also afford.”

...I may be a bit biased

The Mini Cooper being the exception despite having a CUV (of sorts) in their lineup is kinda stunning

Exactly the same reason I’ve decided not to pursue my motorcycle license despite having had one in Australia.

“The seller says this rare M2 has an accident on its record but is nonetheless still a clean title car.“

So there’s the Colorado WT, LT, and Z71 - the ZR2 model comes later - and despite being named ZR2 it is the most capable 4x4, apparently?

Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Porsche, Holden, the Dodge Viper - yes
Plymouth?!? KN?!?!? lol no
