I then must go with 2,056,407.

Mmm... MILF lift...

“Yet, we forget that the Lexus SC came first. Toyota took a luxury grand-tourer platform, chopped it down to some slightly sportier dimensions, and rebadged it. That’s less involvement than the company had in designing the BMW-codeveloped A90.”

Well this is nice to hear. A Tesla owner on a Torchinsky article not being a massive Tesla Stan

The graphic on the side exists to shout “I really am an Integra!” because the styling otherwise doesn’t say that at all. Also to hide how fat the car truly is.

They didn’t bring back an old concept, though, just an old nameplate. Like it not, the dominating memory of the Integra is of the Type R coupe; rebadging what is visually an ILX with the “Integra” nameplate is not how you successfully tap the nostalgia.

I simply do not understand for the life of me, why anyone would bemoan a new practical, reliable, fun-to drive manual hatchback. Something that you can enjoy driving for fun and something that can haul a handful of people with their shit, too.

It doesn’t have to be impressive, but it should have been at least a little distinct. If it didn’t have a giant “INTEGRA” graphic on the side I wouldn’t know it was a new model. When I first saw the pictures last night I thought they posted the wrong car.

These fucking adds have to stop. Half my phone screen occupied by bullshit adds. Literally, I can’t even see what I’m typing right now because the upper fucking half is add and the bottom is my keyboard. Getting to be useless on a phone.sometimes less is more. And fuck these adds.

I saw the first one and furrowed my brow, then saw the second one and audibly laughed. 

Article of the year. 

This might be one of the best unexpected things written here in a while.

“But since it’s M-Benz, oh, well, then it must be some German secret sauce at work here. Right?”

Correct, this is only supposed to replace the 1st stage for very small satellites.

The projectile will also need a kick-stage to get into an actual orbit, otherwise the best you can do is a parabola that intersects the ground. Eventually they’ll aim this thing at an angle too since you have to go fast sideways to get into orbit (just over 17000mph, which is more than 3 times faster than the scaled…

So...exactly what Lawrence suggested in the article?

If it was 3 tenths faster, sure, I’d agree with you. But it’s THREE FULL SECONDS faster, and that difference will absolutely be seen by even amateur drivers. The power is usable. 

None of those do what the Ritmo does.

That’s actually the opposite of what the Fiat is doing. That’s flipping up - which is the HOLY SHIT WORST POSSIBLE WAY TO HANDLE THAT OPENING (former grocery store bag boy who had the great misfortune of having to load a PT Cruiser convertible and still is haunted by it) - while the Fiat is going down with an…
