I’m not sure I’m buying into the idea that “palatial coupes” are a dying breed. Exhibit A of course, is the LC500 itself. It’s a brand new large GT coupe for Lexus in a long time, built on a brand-new front-engine/rear-drive platform. Mercedes has several fresh coupes including the AMG GT, and the S-class coupe is as…

I think the mantle of the “entry-level Porsche” has been passed on to the Macan.

943 (one-way) miles for my Estoril. Another few months of searching and I would have probably found a good local option, but I’d been searching for a while, patience was running low, and this one popped up with the right condition, miles, color, and price. It ended up being a fun trip - flew in, picked up the car, ate…

The Inline 6 Master Race welcomes Mercedes back into the fold.

Yes, very fancy.

Looks great, and I dig the e36 front end graft, but is it really any good offroad? But it’s got no more suspension travel than a normal Z3, so you’ll still have to keep a snail’s pace over any bumpy terrain. This looks like form over function - another permutation of “stance.”

We don’t have to carry a license if we’re not driving, and we don’t have to have it permanently displayed on our bodies. This would be like having your drivers license tattooed on your forehead. No, I’m pretty sure the Cars universe is a surveillance state where everyone is constantly tracked and identified.

Well, kind of. Though license plates are not an integral part of the car. They’re less like ears, and more like earrings - or dog tags. That being said, who issues license plates in this universe? Are all citizens required to wear numbered identification at all times? More evidence of a disturbing, dystopian universe.

Have a bunch of comments been deleted from that Reddit thread? I only see one comment that goes specifically after your gender. The rest of them seem to be discussing the content and writing.

In the words of Matt Farah (though he may have been quoting someone else), cars become classics when people forget what pieces of crap they were.

Well...

Yep, still awesome.

I’m guessing these will make a comeback, big time, for the sensors.

Then brought that one to America. FTFY.

Cynical take: Even as a concept car it’s stale. It’s a GM Hy-Wire from 15 years ago, but with batteries, a Caravan interior with an iPad thrown in, wrapped in a self-congratulatory Microbus shell (from 2011 and/or also from 2001) with a bunch of perimeter lighting to drain the battery faster. Oh, and it’s self-driving…

Matt Farah, aren’t you going to chime in about your moldy Ranger?

Bring Back Bangle!

From the only dedicated “photoshoot” I’ve ever done:
