How did I know Patrick didn't post this? Because the title wasn't "FIAT 500 695 Biposto is Fuck You, JCW Mini Cooper S"

I don't have too much of a problem with the F bomb in the title. However my approach is this: "In-production, On-Sale-Now CLA45 AMG is Fuck You Pie in the Sky Concept Audi".

I don't mind them too much though my hang up is that when I see them in threes or fours, I associate that with cylinder count. Here, it's obviously an eight-pot motor.

I sure as shit would rather be stuck behind 100 of these utes than any 2 lifted full-sizes with truck nuts and 8" bed-mounted diesel outlets, any day.

You sure about that?

Something tells me ol' O'Leary has been out for a taste. Ten Euro fares are absurd. Now if he said the fares were $200 or $300 USD, I'd pay attention. I'd gladly pay that rate. (Especially if I get to sit inside the plane.) I mean, how many people are going to race out for $0.05 sushi, or 99c prime rib? The product…

That's my question. It appears that the seatbacks are down. So are the seatbelts being used to hold down this mysterious cargo? Or are the horizontal straps in the foreground different than the seatbelts? Why aren't the seatbelts integrated into the seatbacks? So many questions about orange seatbelts!

This? I like this. The whole interior, save for the light color in the steering wheel rim. That's gonna look grungy in short order. Shifter, too.

Mini says the new Clubman, despite the grown-up doors in the rear, is just 26 centimeters longer than the outgoing car. At less than 14 feet long, though, it's still about a foot longer than the smallest Mini. (Yes, that makes it a couple inches longer than a Countryman. It's still about four inches shorter, though.)

Best BMX photobomb ever.
I hope the Polo's brakes are better than the one on this 20".

Agreed. SO much more effective than a still.

I am really beginning to appreciate how many other Jalops a) saw this thing and were b) compelled to snap a picture.

Coefficient of Drag? Uh, the whole thing?

Maybe a vintage motorcycle AND bicycle, a la the Joad family Escalade that I saw last year?

Gotcha. Strange that symmetry wasn't evidently an issue at this point in design.

I dunno. While the driving dynamics leave a lot to be desired, I think the Prius would probably out-perform a LOT of cars from 40-50 years ago. The e-only silent running would probably impress a lot of people, as well.

I always liked those cars. My dad tested the sedan in '85 and I got to ride along. I always appreciated the wagons though. Something about the ratio of the length of the glass (between the C and D pillar) to the height - it just looked 'right'. See also how the doors and the rear quarter panel are all about the same…

Meet you out back. I'll be the one in the Starion, blasting Van Halen "1984".

Strange how offset from center the steering wheel is in that first interior pic!
