Agreed. The grille is poorly integrated with the rest of the body, and the small windows really look awkward from certain angles. I don’t think that Aston’s design philosophy merges itself very well with early-2000s-Audi-minimalism.

Future car dealerships might be like the character customization in certain video games (you know, where you have one slider for the eye colour, one for the width of the mouth, one for the length of the nose, etc.)

I vote car too, but does this mean that the Tesla isn’t a car?

Wow, this discussion has become absurd, it’s like trying to argue that dogs run faster than cats, period. A greyhound can outrun my fat house cat, but a cheeta can outrun a corgi.

I don’t think that this particular car has anything to do with brand, but rather that the original car in question can be regarded as similar to a classic work of art or an archeological relic.

A few degrees of recline for the person in front of me is the difference between being able to spend a six-hour flight working on my laptop, and having to stare out of the window for that six-hour flight. Grow up.

And even when you do invest in a traditional project (i.e. not crowdfunding), if the project is mismanaged you simply lose your investment. You might bring the company into bankrupcy to claim some of your money back, but once the company is empty of funds, that’s it. There is usually no legal way for investors to go…

No, dear stockholders,

Also, one could argue that this was a moveable part, but that the ‘moveable’ part was the driver, who has to be moveable anyway. Had it been a mechanical valve rather than the driver’s knee it would definitely have been defined as moveable. That’s my favourite take on it, it’s just a masterpiece of rule-bending.

But a refund from whom? If the developer has spent the money on salaries until the deadline and the game isn’t finished yet, there won’t be any money left for a refund. Should the developers return their salaries for the past year? Should there be a main responsible person who can be forced into personal bankrupcy to…

Yup, this I agree on. I just wanted to balance out TwinTurboTank’s claim that ‘it contributes 300 times as much to global warming’.

Just to balance your post somewhat: A diesel engine typically emits about 100-150 g of CO2 per kilometer, but between 0.1 and 1 g of NOx per km (so approximately 100-1000 times less). So even if all NOx gases contribute as much to global warming as N2O (300 times more per unit of mass), they’re about equal to CO2 when…

Come to Sweden and start working as an ambulance driver!

This is a very sloppy Photoshop job, but I’d like to think that I’m keeping up the Top Gear approach to things.

I don’t think it’s as much about limitations as saying “hey, you know those shitty tricks that 90% of all horror games are using instead of creative story telling? We don’t rely on those.”

Did Porsche just hire a designer for the first time in 40 years?

Well, it’s a matter if you define ‘CP’ according to market value, or according to whether you think that the car is worth it relative other options. The price for this one is definitely fair market value, but considering how overpriced these vans are these days, I couldn’t see why anyone would pay even half of its…

These old VW vans are charming, or at least in theory, but they might be among the most overvalued cars on the planet by now. Driving around in one is the automotive equivalent of having a framed print of Mona Lisa at home. Yes, it’s great art. Yes, it’s also an incredibly boring choice simply due to being too iconic.

Is it only me or does the ‘not:’ function not work anymore? Is there an updated algorithm? Also, is there a way of avoiding a specific author?

To a large part, this is about cultural differences between the US and Germany. Few things are as frowned upon in many European countries as being shouty about your wealth, it can be considered insanely vulgar. Hence every luxury BMW, every luxury Audi, every luxury Merc and every luxury Volvo basically look like the…
