They´ll sell lots of them, though.

It's a far more significant car than the DB5, even if it lacks a Bond-James-Bond connection.

And I've always wanted one. So there.

Coming from the country that gave the world the Econovan, that´s a bit rich. The Trafic has style, people. It proves the delivery van can be more than a box-shaped appliance.

The other 9 vehicles amply qualify for the fugly list, however.

Interesting...

The changes weren't random, of course. Let me step you through this. My apologies for labouring the point, but it seems be necessary because you aren't getting it at all.

You think it's ironic that Winkler's story about an underachieving dyslexic kid was based on his own childhood. Why? Because apparently Lexus drivers usually try too hard, whereas Winkler was an underachiever in his youth. And if he was an underachiever he mustn't have been trying too hard, right? Knee-slapping stuff.

By equating a dyslexic's underachievement with lack of effort (and that's what you're doing - otherwise Winkler's 'try-hard' Lexus wouldn't be ironic), you're ignoring the effect of disability on results. A disabled person may 'underachieve' in one activity or another (be that schoolwork in the case of a dyslexic Winkler or a 100-metre race in the case of someone with a crippled leg), even if they are trying their utmost.

Who gives a toss about this? People whose children have learning disabilities, that's who.

And if my son finds himself driving a Lexus later in life, it won't be fucking ironic.

Still, the interior looks nice.

The stupidity of this sentence can best be illustrated by substituting a few words:

"The stories are about an underachieving runner with a crippled leg, and are based on Winkler's own childhood...ironic considering people who drive Lexus hybrid crossovers are usually trying too hard."

Think first, then write. Or maybe you're just not trying hard enough?

"The GINA Light Visionary Model is an optical expression of selective, future-oriented concepts which provide an example of the manner and extent of this transformation."

Gimmeabreak!

Colani's truck is magnificent, the Dymaxion's brilliant, and the Book of Songs is repellent.

But we're talking about a nuclear-powered forward-control 2-seater with tailfins, people! By Ford!

Game, set and match.

Bravo sir, bravo!!!

Like you, I've always preferred the styling of the Turbo Concept to that of the M1. To my eyes, the M1 has too many flat surfaces and angles; the Turbo was just about spot-on, in its original form anyway.

Anyway...I rather like this new car. It needs to be about half a size smaller, but it's very appealing.

Great paintjob, too.

Typically the sort of thing where they throw in a few accessories at no extra cost, bolt on a couple of 'Lumina' badges and hope to shift a few more units than usual.

That's an E49 CHRYSLER Charger, thank you very much!

(And it would be near the top of my list, too.)

Impressive, but a stock standard litre sportsbike is pretty close to that and costs a helluva lot less. A few well-chosen performance mods and you're in the same ballpark. And you still have at least 100,000 pounds sitting in your back pocket.

And that Mazda2 green colour doesn't really suit it.

And Bluetooth means I get voice-prompted navigation through my Scala Rider helmet-mounted headset when I'm riding my motorcycle. Brilliant?

Now - what's so special about this Garmin thingy again?

I knew he had. Truly.

And I think he also played one of the Apollo 13 astronauts in a British TV docu-drama, waaaaaay before Tom Hanks thought the story would make a good flick.

Out-nerd that!

I've seen this car at Beaulieu, and it's definitely JFG material.

And we need more wheel-driven LSR cars. As opposed to wheeled rocketships.

(Though Thrust2 was a hell of an achievement and must have required huge cojones to pilot.)

The tail-lights look Cougar-ish, I must say.

There's nothing wrong with the current Mustang styling; I hope they aren't trying to fix something that isn't broken.

It's still a damn hot concept, though. Very nice.

For its time, it was a damn fine-looking sports car.

And I'm appalled that anyone could suggest the Citroen DS and SM. Both of which are just damn gorgeous, particularly the DS.

Anyway...

The 2CV definitely qualifies, as does that fantastic corrugated-iron van.

What about the Ami6? All the late 1960s Citroen virtues, with a body of unparalleled hideousness.

Or the Jaguar XJS?

Or Bangle's 7-series? (Someone must love it...)

The 911 is either too bland or too tasteless (depending on the model), the Boxster looks okay but nothing special, and the Cayenne's just plain awful.

The Cayman, on the other hand, is the right size and shape for a Porsche. Me wants Cayman too!!!

But it does sound damn fine, doesn't it...

6.2 litres. AMG. C-class. Wagon.

This thing definitely pushes quite a few of my buttons.

1. It's butt-ugly.

2. It's yet another crassfest from Maybach.

3. Did I mention it's butt-ugly?

The front three-quarter view is very nice. The back end is still bulbous and dated, and the wing doesn't help.

I still think that if a Korean manufacturer had released a sports coupe styled exactly like the 599, it would have been pilloried.

So we show you a lurid, body-kitted ute that doesn't have 'subtle' in its vocabulary and now you're complaining about the number of vents?!!!

*gives up and goes home...*
