I know all about that one already. I’m not talking about heated campaign rhetoric here, I’m talking about actual actions being taken right this minute by people who are actively trying to curtail freedom of speech and association in this country, and are having some rather frightening success in certain places. I’m…

Fascism with a smiley face is still fascism.

We’re headed for fascism. Just look at a college campus today; that’s going to be society at large in twenty more years unless something changes radically very soon.

Not since the 1990s. They got so much right with this car that it actually makes me angry to look at the bullshit they’ve put out over the last fifteen years.

1. The heat profile while hovering is not comparable to the heat profile in normal flight operations.

Wait, what?

Yeah, no. Rother did interiors exclusively and is basically a footnote. Welburn has done some excellent work, but does he deserve to be on a list with Guigario and Gandini and Paulin? No, definitely not.

Because it’s not a list of ‘pioneers who bucked trends’ it’s a list of ‘greatest car designers of all time’. If you want to make a list of trend-bucking pioneers in the car industry, then go right ahead. But the list of all-time great car designers will continue to be populated by white (mostly Italian an French)…

Truth be told, just keeping your car in a private garage is like 90% of the battle here. Not having to worry about tickets or towing or vandalism really is everything. And most garages have someone that’ll wash your car for an added fee. It won’t be professional quality, but it’ll keep everything shiny between details.

NYU graduate. Can confirm.

The other issue is that the list is all white dudes. Yes, car design is unfortunately still dominated by white dudes—though that’s changing—but I wish I had used this platform to highlight the good work of some women and/or people of color too. Jalopnik is better than most at that sort of thing, but I wasn’t hip…

Wasn't worth it.

1. It absolutely is not.

Yep, lots of BL parts on those cars.

Lotus used that flap handle until well into the 1990s.

Seriously, that’s unbelievably irrational, especially for a car like this, whose battery could likely power a small apartment building for a few hours.

BMW could get a wait list on a pile of dog crap if they put a roundel on it and call it ‘new’.

Counterpoint: The BMW i8 is an overpriced, underperforming heap wrapped in aggressively pretentious design language of the sort which writes checks it’s hard numbers can’t cash.

And you don’t even understand what was fascistic about your original statement.

Yeah, that thing was a big improvement, but now it just looks like a Maserati.
