Inexplicably there is a version of that photo which crossbreeds the potato with a fox.

The only downside is that once you’ve seen it, you cannot pronounce Fit Si any way other than “fitsy.”

They did. Look at the overhead view in the concept sketches... see how it pinches, then flares out at the stern? There’s your spindle.

Clinton losing to a moderate Republican would have been a political loss, but a fairly manageable one and one in which there would have been some lingering optimism on the left. This guy winning is a moment of reckoning for not just for the left, but for the American experiment in general.

A thousand units a month, in that segment, is basically zero. Honda is selling 30,000+ Civics in a month on a pretty regular basis.

Subaru in 2001 was like “We’ll sell you a 227-hp AWD turbo sedan for $22k!”

I wish I agreed, but the overhangs on the 124 are just too much. The Miata is much more tightly sculpted around its wheelbase and looks more athletic to me. This is especially weird because the original 124 didn’t have crazy overhangs, especially up front.

I appreciate that your opinion differs from mine, and you are welcome to disagree, but how can something look “objectively” better than something else?

Side note: I squee’d at 2:20 in the first video.

As an old Spider owner, I’ve always had a serious internal conflict over the fact that the new 124, even in Abarth form, isn’t as good-looking as the Miata it’s based on.

Yup, this is textbook Bills. A QB that puts up a halfway decent season - working with a hobbled receiving corps and a defense Rob Ryan’d to the point of being completely unable to get off the field - is such an unfamiliar concept that the front office has no clue what to do with him.

Thanks for this. I find the best perspectives come from people who are happy with themselves first and foremost.

I assume in the spirit of the EVO FQ400, the HS stands for “Holy Sh*t”...?

When it comes to outward visibility, the Forester clobbers everything else in the segment. It makes the thing look like an upright box of glass compared to the rest of the small SUV’s out there, but it’s tremendous for the driving experience. Add the panoramic moonroof and you feel like you’re driving a fishbowl with…

It’s like FF and Elio Motors are playing a game of Who’s The Most Vaporware? and both are going to end up winning.

I think you’re confusing “gangsta” with “gangster.”

Two things:

A game for children entitled “Touch Me”.

Nobody needs a big car to carry kids. But in the U.S. we have tons of space, cheap gas, large roads and a high median household income. We also don’t have road tax that’s tiered by vehicle weight class or engine size or CO2 levels. It doesn’t make any sense to stuff your kids into a Fiesta when an Odyssey or an Acadia…

Nothing says WE’RE A FAKE COMPANY quite like going all haters-are-my-motivators on your industry’s press.
