She looks more like a “BBQ Barbara” to me.

“...Out you go.”
Can I pick where they send me? It would be nice to spend a few years in a progressive European or Scandinavian nation before the global nuclear holocaust.

I wonder what they did with all the space that must be left over after tucking a little four-banger into that colossal front end. Spare tire? Storage? Ballroom?

David, the Jeep wave is not a lie, but whoever told you to expect the Jeep wave in an XJ was lying. It has always been exclusively a CJ/Wrangler thing.

Night HALO isn’t something that just any actor can perform with a bit of coaching. You do have to be fairly highly trained and experienced. Cruise has been a skydiver for years. Could he sit-fly with a camera on his head? I don’t know. That’s a specialized skill in itself.

There’s value in Cruise doing his own stunts because it gets people talking about the movie.

Also, the average stunt actor is not a licensed skydiver qualified to make high-altitude night jumps in close proximity with other jumpers. Cruise is.

“he was almost hit by a truck and killed”
Soooo, he wasn’t actually hit or injured, just scared?

In the newer video the driver was steering, however limited the angle might have been.

The only application I can imagine for this is changing into or out of swimwear. Can’t risk some pearl-clutching puritan ninny having to endure seeing a bare butt for an instant.

The headline may be overwrought. But in this video, the car seems to travel only in straight lines and a couple of mild constant-radius turns. I’d still believe that it had no steering gear and wasn’t actually driveable except under carefully controlled conditions.

Gah! That’s a terrible Photo-chop job.

I think you’re right that the front and rear doors have been fused. If you look closely, the key cylinders have been relocated to a unique position ahead of the former rear door handles.

“...the RAV4 had not now officially gotten a haircut...”

Why does it look exactly like the misshapen, ungainly Honda Pilot?

“Pugh’s car has some pretty insane performance projections, too: zero to 60 in 1.6 seconds, a top speed of 300 mph, 9,000 lb-ft of torque, all-wheel drive and a 500-mile range.”

That would be wonderful. Here, my experience is cold glares and “you know we close in 45 minutes, don’t you?”

If your restaurant “closes at 10:00" I should be able to order food at 9:59 without any grief.

Has the 6 gotten any bigger inside? I went for a test drive once and had to doublecheck that the sales kid hadn’t brought me a 3.

“sourced from a 400-pound gas-powered turbine engine that generates 300 kilowatts”

Bleh. The tan interior looks like the lobby of an expensive retirement home.

The black interior looks like the cockpit of a formidable vehicle.
