A four door Beetle would probably sell pretty steadily (if slowly) all over the world. Hell, give it a lift kit, gray body cladding and wheel arches, call it an SUV and it’ll sell like free pancakes in the US. They can call it the Beetlecross...or something.

There’s some truth to that. Old money doesn’t advertise their wealth.

So, what I’m getting from this is, “It’s okay, because they were following orders.”

Seems like a good addition. Those Korvidians are so smart!

Oh my god... THIS IS IT. COVID-19 is the origin story for the Cars universe! It all makes sense now!

We’re all going crazy in quarantine, but add that crazy on top of normal Torchinsky crazy and you get... well, this.

The solution is clearly bio-augmentation as previously discussed on this website:

I, too, read the entire thing. Count me (you too, I suspect) among the senseless scores of jalops that would love to have a drink with and listen to this guy!

Fun fact: that’s closer to the original design for the Reliant in Wrath of Khan. They flipped the model upside down so there’d be more of a visual distinction between the protagonist and antagonist ships on screen.

Some suggestions:

It’s space, there’s no such thing as upside down

safer if you crash into something; If you don’t crash they are equally safe.
