My dream is to buy one of these and do a full-electric restomod.

I would like to take a moment to appreciate that this 2-seater has *FIVE* cupholders, which is 1 more than the original 4-seater had.

Volvos actually have an extra set of brake lights for heavy breaking. Saved my bacon once when I was behind one of their SUVs and realized they were *really* on the brakes.

They do, but every one of them I’ve ever seen is a Freightshaker snub nose with a custom sleeper.

I actually find that as a whole the gap has been handled a lot better these days. The IS really treats it as a design element though:

In this case it’s pretty clearly because management said “15 inch screen” right before it rolled out, but after design was done with it. NOBODY in the design realm would do something like this.

In reality I think that’s probably the case in most situations - design is told to do their thing before features like screen…

GM doesn’t have a problem with design, which is why they keep banging out awesome concept after awesome concept.

GM has a problem with the bean counters and management neutering everything they put out.

Shhhhhh. I need more people to forget that the ELR exists so I can buy one in a few years....

I’d even settle for the sedan, the interior is glorious.:

No, you wouldn’t. Even if the cab of the truck hit it you wouldn’t feel it.

I know exactly how this happened: Someone higher up the chain kept telling the designers the car needed “More screens! Bigger screens!”. Eventually they got mad and just went completely overboard. Management then green-lit it.... because management.

The lighting is.... beyond excessive, but honestly I like every single other thing about this car. I hope they don’t nuke it too much for production.

They already had them 5 years ago when I left.

Dang it! This was the *entire* reason I’m in architecture school - I thought I had a market on lock. Now I’ve wasted 4 years of my life.

I’m over here for school, so I can comment a little.

Most homes here are designed for passive cooling, which works incredibly well in typical conditions. Right now it’s bad, but no worse than I was at home (GA) with AC. It *is* supposed to get worse though, and given that I’m currently living in an attic....

Most car guys want sports cars.

I want vehicles like this. Here’s to hoping that someone launches a stylish EV GT coupe in the near future.

General rules of thumb (I drove OTR for 2 years, so these are things I try to do):
1) Move over when we’re trying to merge on. We take up a lot of space and it’s a nightmare trying to merge.
2) Move over when we’re on the side of the road. It’s terrifying trying to fix something with cars blowing by at 80mph. All I…

New Volvos have steering wheel bags, but there are no other airbags in any make.

Is this *really* that hard to figure out? Just look at the light being cast in other places in that picture.

Not the *entire* industry.... just the joke of everyone who drives for someone else.

“Sure Wish I’d Finished Training....”
