Uh, no. There isn't a single attractive Infiniti on offer this year. Sure, the Armada thing has been toned down, but it's still hideous.

Why will the paper Prius have an upside-down steering wheel?

Agreed. Begin Spindle War.

I see Ferrari in the nose - moreso since the grill of the first 'Vettes - and plenty of GTR kink in the top of that A-pillar. I approve! Now if only they can install an alarm goes off if a driver tries to operate the vehicle with excessive exposed chest hair and/or gold chains about the neck.

I think it looks fantastic. While it lacks originality for echoing the X5, I can't fault it for that. I think the X5 looks fine. It really nails it for having good proportions, unlike the Benz A-classe and its massive front overhang.

"Tons of lightweight materials", you say? ಠ_ಠ

Agreed. Also, welcome back, Z8 taillamps! I approve.

I presume that torque (vs hp) is as elusive a concept for the American car-buying public as diesel's efficiency is over gas. Regardless, this sounds a bit like BMW's plan for the new tri-turbo M3.

A very fundamental part of learning your way around is to KNOW KNOW KNOW cardinal compass directions.

Agreed! "Everyone" is so reliant upon glowing screens. Good thing I don't go anywhere. I just sit on my porch and rock in my chair. And read Lifehacker on my iPad. ;)

I assume that blocking SMS from non-contacts would also prevent one from getting verification text messages from Dropbox, Google, etc, right?

Thanks for the warning - I should ask around to see if any of my friends here in the NW are on Sprint.

This looks pretty darn useful. If only I weren't so dedicated to Wunderlist and now Reminders.

I rarely carry the point n shoot around anymore (SD-750 - quite a good little workhorse of a camera) though I do use it when I know I will want tripod-ability, and a self timer. I could add those features to iPhone, but I don't.

What's not mentioned here but is equally important is that Sprint's monthly unlimited-data single-line plan appears to be $10 a month cheaper than AT&T. So that's another $120 a year.

It belongs to a guy named Chuck Strange. I'll see if I can get some more details from my Baja-running brother.

This looks immensely better than that M-B A-class 'city car'. The front overhang on the Benz looks awful.

With a tablet in the speedo position, does Nissan REALLY hope to keep drivers from futzing around on Facebook? Dumb.

The series was called The Hire, not The Driver. (Though Clive Owen's character is simply called "Driver". The whole damn series is priceless; the Ang Lee video, "Chosen", features a nifty easter egg at the end that alludes to the next feature film he directed. (Hint: Eric Bana stars.) "Ambush" was John Frankenheimer's…

Agreed! I've watched this whole series at least once, and enjoy darn near every one. (Save for the episodes with Rita Moreno - those ones were pretty bad)
