You do realize that it is largely still our government “forking over the big bucks”, right? I mean, who do you think is the largest source of funding for SpaceX? 

You can update your CV all you want, you can’t get around the fact that one of the purposes of this new car design is to reduce head count at the teams. 

It’s almost like how corporate America “cuts costs”, shrink the workforce and boom, costs cut. Now where is my golden parachute...  

Not for nothing, but this next generation car is going to greatly reduce overhead for the teams, which is a nice way of saying that it is going to result in the loss of a lot of good paying fabricator, welder, and other jobs that are currently in the fab shops at these teams. I don’t know if any of this information is…

True. There’s a goldmine of amazing automotive YouTube videos they could be coattail surfing yet somehow they land on “lightskinyogi” sliding his half naked ass on the floor.

Gahd Tesla/Ol’ Muskie stans are obnoxious.

I’ve been on Jalopnik for its complete 15 year existence and this is in the running for the dumbest post I’ve ever seen on here.

I realize it’s a Friday before a holiday weekend, but are reviewing and debunking tiktok videos the new norm for Jalopnik?

That’s exactly what I’m referring to. The original 5mph bumper was clearly an afterthought and quite frankly, I think it looks terrible. This appears to be an afterthought too. 

The NATO myth was busted when Trump let it slip that it exists for other nations to protect America, not the other way around. England and France, the other big hitters in it, both have similar thoughts just with their nation penciled in instead of America [England especially, right now because of Brexit]. The only…

Sure. But, geopolitics aside, there comes a point when revolutions happen independently of US or EU involvement. The Med is like the wellspring of revolution. Is China going to be willing to underwrite a major military force to hold parts of that world? Are they going to spend the vast sums, life and treasure,…

The “original” design had a bumper that bisected the upper and lower portions.

Nah the grille won’t matter how well this new Z will sell, it’ll all be about how it’s priced.

Boooo. The callback worked and I have to apologize to Nissan for caving to the complainers that didn’t understand their design.

Your take is bad and you should feel bad. (not really, you are entitled to your own opinion and should not feel bad for having said opinion.)

No. This is a simple rectangle (even if a large one). The BMW grilles easily beat anything else.

I dunno man, I’m kind of thrilled to see simple geometric elements return to auto design instead of everything getting more and more Baroque and edgy.

You can’t hear the wind noise over the drone of the engine and road noise in the Prius. You might want to get your ears checked if you think a Prius is quiet.

Having owned a W124 Mercedes and having my mother own a Prius, the gas mileage of the Prius is literally the ONLY thing about it that is even in the same universe of niceness as the Mercedes.
