Counterpoint: everything on BAT is overpriced and its weirdness exaggerated. This is among the most honest vehicles on that site.

Counterpoint: while there are general principles of beauty (symmetry is valued, for example), what looks ‘good’ is highly socially conditioned and is based on our experiences and cultural environment.

Given how few of GMs cars are electrified (and those that are tend to self-combust), I’m happy for their numbers to be down for a few years. The planet could do with a break.

Also: about 300 people on the internet are telling the one guy who has actually seen this in real life that this is ugly and doesn’t work.

Look after yourself friend, it’s a hard world sometimes. I’m no longer scared of tall structures, but it took a while.

This is the rare “missing link” proto-Golf fossil that explains this arm of the evolutionary tree. In layman’s terms, this is the Holy Grail.

Autonomous cars knowing how to merge (when they’re a significant minority of traffic) will help reduce congestion.

I don’t blame them as much as I blame the dealers who buy from them. They’re the problem.

I enjoy that about my PHEV. I generally drive a lot smoother than I did a year ago, and that’s a good thing for almost everyone.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Electric cars are too powerful and too fast.

Technically a targa.

I saw a SM in the lane beside me last week, and it was the most striking vehicle I have seen in years. An incredibly clean and crisp design that is still simultaneously retro and futuristic. We’re only now starting to see other road cars with the same design language.

Trolleys learn to attack cars when they are young. If you get them excited their natural tendencies come out.
