I was thinking that they could resurrect the old Galaxy or Falcon names, but Thunderbird could work too.

I never thought I’d say this, but I’ll say it anyway. You know we live in the age of automotive excess (in performance) and excellence when we can say a car “only” tops out at 180. Especially since on most tracks a performance car would probably never come close to that "low" speed.

Definitely NOT the new Bronco. You can see, in the middle photo, that whatever this thing is parked/placed in front of the silhouette full size Bronco, from the earlier FoMoCo tease reveal. And this thing is tiny by comparison.

Torch, I honestly prefer them; as they draw the eye due to their not being the same color as tail-lights and brakelights.

Funny, the original “Car of Tomorrow”, introduced by NASCAR in 2007-2008, actually reduced pack racing as it didn’t respond well to the dirty air - was flawed in other ways too, but nonetheless, it preferred to be in as clean air as possible.

I have been saying exactly that, NASCAR is the WWE of motorsports, for years. Hell if you watch this video, you’ll see people (specifically some dude in a purple shirt @ the 16 second mark) literally cheering the accident. Now, I’ll admit that small wrecks can make a race more intense, but when I see cars flying…

Great ideas. This would bring real pit strategy back into the races, which could actually shuffle the leader board during a race, which should then actually make the racing more interesting, and dare I say more exciting too. A 2.7 second pit stop is a misnomer, it’s more like a pit pause.

Amen brother. It is virtually unwatchable now, as there is little to no racing at the front of the field, and what racing is happening at the back of the field has no bearing on how that race, or the championship will unfold. It is, as you said, a “controlled parade” that signifies nothing and celebrates excessive…

I own a 2007 Si sedan, and I agree with much of what this article says. The Si has lost its way, a bit. It no longer can be considered a direct competitor of GTI’s, Focuses (Foci?), Fiestas, Mazdaspeed 3’s. etc., etc. Partly because it isn’t available as a hatchback anymore, and partly because it does lack much of the…

I will admit that it is striking, but there’s still something about the Escalade that just doesn’t work for me. Maybe it’s the badge engineering that has always bothered me. Maybe it’s the sheer enormousness of the thing. Perhaps a bit of the pretentiousness too; but I am obviously in the minority, because GM sells…

Looks like this:

I agree with you Tom. It has gotten to the point where auto manufacturers seem to be in competition to make the most boring car(s). So much so that there is virtually no difference in the appearance of cars, beyond the manufacturers’ logos; particularly in the mid-size sedan segment. I’m willing to bet that if we…

I had similar thoughts. My inner juvenile thought, “That’s bad ass!” When the adult that I am overheard my inner juvenile, I immediately sent him to bed without dinner.

"The bow-tie doesn't work in beige." With the exception of the Corvette, and some Camaros, I'd argue that the bow-tie's line-up is exclusively beige, and has been for decades. Lumina, Cavalier, Cobalt, Caprice, Caprice Classic, the reborn FWD Impala, the rebadged Carrola, Beretta (exciting name, beige car), and…

I’d rather they just kill it, rather than continuing down the path of sterilization, that damn near every car manufacturer seems to be taking. I know not every car can be, or needs to be a fire spitting dragon that causes drivers to over exercise their sphincters, but if De Vries seriously thinks that he can sell a…

Looks like they dug up the old Toyota Matrix - and then updated it by adding more boring. In fact, that should be Toyota's (and I suppose even Scion's) corporate slug line, "Now with 50% more boring." You see I couldn't even muster enough excitement to put an exclamation mark at the end of that sentence.

It looks like the 675, which looks like the P1, which depending on one's personal tastes is either a good, or a bad thing. Personally I find something lacking in McLaren's design language - it seems to lack soul?, or maybe character?, perhaps emotion? What ever "it" is, McLaren's car designs seem to be lacking "it".…

Um, Helios is the Greek God that personified the Sun - right? Regardless, that is/will be quite a stunning vehicle, if and when it is completed. I've always been enamored by the cars of the 1920's - 1930's, with their art deco streamlining, they were as much art as they were machine.

Is it a beautiful car, in say, an Aston Martin, or many Ferrari's? No. But one would have to admit that it is a striking design. I thought the old "new" GT of the early 2000's was a bit too retro for my tastes. In fact the way Detroit (Ford, GM, and Chrysler) seemed to cling to the designs of the 1960's and…
