It's articles like this that keep me coming back to Jalopnik. Great work!

Completely agree. I actually think it looks acceptable from the front up to the B pillar (although I still think that the headlights are way too big and that there's just too much bodywork between the front wheel arches and the bonnet ...and way too much front overhang), but from there on it just kind of loses

If someone's driving like an idiot in front of me (like talking or fiddling incessantly on a smartphone or tablet, thereby leaving enough space for a jumbo-fucking-jet in front of them), then I try to switch lanes either to hopefully get past them, or just not have to look at them drive like idiots.

Track: P1. The looks do not do much for me, but I'm interested in finding out just how effective those aero bits really are.

I want to like it, I really do, but I just can't. That behind looks like a hair clipper with a comb attached, and the front just confuses me.

Yup, and I'm pretty sure the Aero 8 had Beetle units. Exhibit A above, and exhibit B below.

The Veveno kind of reminds me of the Heuliez Pregunta for some reason...

I've always found myself staring at 288 GTO mirrors for longer than I probably should. I don't quite know why though, nothing distinguishing or conventionally pretty about them, but still.

You... I like you.

I seem to recall reading somewhere recently that Horacio Pagani (he of Pagani) insisted they match the form of a beautiful woman's eyes. The next part is where my memory gets sketchy, but apparently 12 different designs were submitted, the final product being his handpicked favorite.

Left front wing?

Right front wing?

Maybe one more.

BMW: "Doing what we said we'd never do."

Alfa Romeo. You read that correctly: Alfa freaking Romeo.

Pacific XT 8086, similar to the pic, except it had a monochrome screen, Hercules graphics, CGA emulation and a turbo button (4.7 MHz when off and flying at an eyeball-flattening 12 MHz when activated). HDD? That was 40MB. Memory? A humongous 640KB. And yes, it had a floppy drive too.

In full agreement with you on that Mantide (think that's what it's called). His work on some cars are absolutely brilliant, but on others it just seems ridiculously overdone. The new SSC Tautara (?), excellent. The 599, not bad at all. The Mantide though, hideous. That Saab showcar he was responsible for, not hideous,

No fair plonking down the obviously greatest logo of them all at the beginning. I just love the Alfa logo with the detailed silver surround, and I wish they never went for the later, flat one with the gold surround.

Don't think you can pick one up new, but if you could, I'd have loved to shoe-horn a Porsche 993 (yes, sports fans, that be the air-cooled variant) flat six twin-turbo into the front of a Miata.

What I don't get about all this body language malarkey is that if someone is self-aware enough about their body language, then it all means nothing. I work in a technical field and once asked someone a question I already knew the facts of beforehand, and made a point of paying close attention to the 'gives'. The
