Fixed it for you:

Agreed, SUPER ugly. It looks like someone just left their cheap Chinese knock-off tablet laying around the dash.

no. No. NO. WHY do some car makers feel the needs to make center displays look like they were inspired by $99 iPad knock-offs? If it needs a center display, fine, but integrate it into the cabin, or at least make it looks like someone didn’t just superglue it to the dash.

Wow...this may be the first time I have gotten good, actionable, sane advice from the “Ask Doug” column. I’m not quite sure how to feel about it. Um...thanks? :)

Same here! I was heading out there in May but life got in the way. I’ve already seen notes from Edge Addicts and others that they are looking to secure dates as soon as details can be worked out. TWS here I come!

Woohoo! Go Internet Go!

Can I buy you lunch to get a ride in it? I’m just off of 360, near fun roads!

Great review Patrick, glad to hear the ATS-V is a solid step forward for “V” (the car, not the aliens). I *THINK* I was at COTA the weekend before you drove it and got a shot of the underside of the car. It looks “V”ery nice too!

I really wanted to fall for this Celica, but the YouTube video the seller has up was originally put up in September of 2012...that's a lot of time sitting on the lot, and makes me cautious about buying it before seeing it! (Which is too bad, the seller seems like a cool guy).

OK, y’all are right, it was probably the insert. still, I would like to see that :)

“It is also emblazoned with the BMW logo in rhinestones.”

I don’t think anyone is saying they are doomed, but that a big opportunity to further spur growth was missed.

This is SO true. We are going to be in the mid-size SUV market soon, so when I saw the model premier I thought through it in this order (as a former Lexus owner):

I just emailed the poster...I asked what’s wrong with it for $22....and if the story isn’t too bad I’ll drive the hour down to San Antonio and get it! I have absolutely no use for a non-street-legal thing like this...but can’t pass it up for that price!

Not to be a white-balance nazi, but is this car teal or green? Seems different in different photos like this one and the one below it? Either way it’s AMAZINGLY gorgeous!

FMPC, I agree the location is a good one (better than Ford in many cases, true), but it’s the style of integration I don’t like that much. Actually, after looking at the Lexus version again it’s not that bad. My true loathing is reserved for the MB A-class which appears to have sourced a $59.95 android tablet from…

Hate, hate, hate that tablet sticking out of the dash. I can’t wait until this design trend goes away. I’m in the market for a vehicle like this for the fam, but I couldn’t look at that all day on a road trip.

You need to come by my office off of 360 for lunch this week so you can take me to lunch in it...I'll even buy! :) (Lunch, not the car!)
