Every time a manufacturer gears up like this to create a young person’s car they are snapped up in droves... by 60-year-olds. Which makes perfect sense as corporations of today run by “brand” experts, focus groups and bean counters are lousy at understanding the youth market (or the enthusiast market for that matter),…

Fair enough. Basically a fancy golf cart. So:

Every time I see a massive delay between posts, I wonder if the end has finally come.

This looks like an excellent retirement village vehicle. 

Not sure why you’re so thrilled about this thing. From an environmentalist perspective, which is nominally what these articles are written with, this competes with bicycles, buses, and motorcycles, not cars. With a max speed of 27mph and no crumple zone, this is not taking cars off the streets, it’s replacing…

Use the original scripts,  but replace the actors with Muppets.  

Also, this is a more expensive special edition. Also cars cost more there.

I think you are forgetting they advertise with VAT included. If you exported from the UK this without registration it wouldn’t have VAT. I believe if you import a US car into the UK you pay VAT on it anyway. So the prices are way closer real world.

“At current conversion rates, this new ST starts at $49,086. At that price, maybe it’s best it stays across the pond.”

I don't mind a good coaster, but some of this new shit is insane. I don't need to go 200 feet down at a 90° angle into a triple loop. Just one is fine

As a person who listens to dorks talk about gravity waves all day (not to be confused with gravitation waves), you did a really good job with this. You, sir or madam, win the internet points today.

Yeah, anti-grav is definitely a force acting against gravity. It’s pushing the vehicle up by pushing down against the ground. If it cancelled gravity for the vehicle you’d have all sorts of other problems. People floating inside vehicles. No response to varying terrain. And you’d quickly leave the surface and start…

To me the KM and the Genesis look and feel very similar. The Hyundai is more clearly differentiated.

It definitely does not look like a luxury EV.

The other Genesis designs are actually quite good but nothing about the above conveys “luxury EV” in any way. 

This indeed. There no more 2/3-door cars in the market, other than sportscars or coupes (and even the latter is a dying breed).

The revival concept was not as effortlessly elegant, but still eminently desirable...

They’ve done some great designs (Ioniq 5, Sonata, Tuscon, GV70), but this looks like it was beaten to death with the ugly stick. I’d take BMW’s naked mole rat face over whatever the fuck this is supposed to be.

I argue that Pininfarina did a better job with the timeless 406 coupé. This was first shown 25 years ago. Photos actually don’t do it it justice.

Wait, there was a facelift to the 504 coupé? Why would they ruin such an amazing design with that body-coloured bumper?
