One of my previous cars was a Citroen C4 Coupe, with a max speed of 190, but if I got above 170km/h. Suddenly the aerodynamics took over and the car transformed from an almost scary floaty low flying monstrosity, to a downforce supported race car. It’s just as if the car was suddenly in its element on the autobahn…

On the one hand, I completely understand why people pit these two cars against eachother. On the other hand... They’re different cars (big comfy saloon that’s fast vs. fast saloon), with a different purpose (sell huge numbers of cars vs. have an electric alternative to the panamera)  for a different audience (price).

This reeks of Fear Of Missing Out (of the Chinese market)
Simple business strategy. you need to make more profit every year, otherwise the shareholders will dump you. China is now that possibility for expansion, so every company does whatever it needs to, to please their future customers.

Very good he apologized for blocking the Fire Extinguisher, that stuff is important, what if his laptop caught fire!? You couldn’t grab the nearest extinguisher then ;)

The power though?... It’s an airport, that’s what their power is for when you’re stranded.

As a Dutchman I don’t get the emissions war right now in the US. If I understand correctly, the California emissions standards are not as strict as those in Europe or other countries right? So why not simply go with the California rules. If a car is cleaner than regulation tells you to make it, that’s not a crime…

It’s a Polestar 1, technically not a Volvo ;)

A lot of people _think_ they need more than 112 miles per day. I don't either, but then I wouldn't be able to visit my friends or family, who all live about 70-80 miles away. And at none of them would it be easy or practical to recharge.

I should definitely get a picture like that with my Smart Roadster. There aren't that many big trucks here in the Netherlands though.

MINI Megaman

I recently discovered https://kurviger.de/en thanks to Reddit. They also have a free & paid app for Android (I believe iOS as well). It’s an actual route-planning tool which allows you te set curves vs. speed.

This movie will be pure childish joy!

We rented a campervan in Canada last september, and I already brought the USB charger. and we bought a flexible mount @ the Dollarama.
Worked like a charm!

Yeah, I follow some architecture, interior decorating, cars and luxury stuff blogs. But porn is (was) the best on Tumblr

Revive it as a cool electric sporty car, just like Honda will do with the Honda Urban EV concept. And rejoice with all the beauty on the road.

As we don't get the Sentra in Europe... Are those headlamps identical to the 2005 Suzuki Swift or am I just seeing things?

I still don’t get why they can’t improve those 0-100kmh (0-60mph) times on the Smart. Can’t they fix the transmission or replace it with something better? What’s the problem?

sidenote: I owned a Smart Roadster once (That’s the no-longer-sold flattened version of the ForTwo). And you don’t really notice the 10 second…

The wooden structures are built in such a way that they are perfectly capable of surviving earthquakes. And they’ve been doing that for hundreds of years.

There’s a shrine of about 6 layers (iirc) that is being rebuilt every 20 or so years, and has survived for a loooong time (saw a YT vid about it once)
