    I'm not so keen on all these numbers. "200EX" sounds like a Nissan trim level or something. And really, I think all the stats should all just say "adequate":
    Wheel base: adequate
    Curb weight: adequate
    Alternator output rating: adequate

    Because who really gives a shit about half this stuff?

    Over 5000 Lbs? This mean it will never be allowed at Lemons...

    Price? What price?

    Ha! I've got this car beat:

    1975 Lincoln Continental Mark IV (2010+ Rolls-Royce Ghost)
    Overall Length: 228.1" (212.6)
    Width: 79.8" (76.7)
    Height: 53.5" (61.0) [Lincoln's a stock chop, baby]
    Weight: 5,353 lbs., just one dead golfer away from (5445)
    Horsepower/Tq: "Adequate". We shall not speak of malaise-era power numbers. Otherwise I claim a mulligan.

    @discontinuuity is happy that everything has been set right in the Jalopverse. Now all we need is more of engineerd's Brefas Scotch!: Yeah, I knew that would do it for certain, but someone finally pegged it in the CSRSL last night so I figured why not?

    I find it highly unacceptable that the carriage compartment has what looks to be viewable access to the driver compartment. It is a travesty that opulence levels have decreased to the point that I might step out of the portage and be confronted with the workings of this motorized carriage and the work itself.

    Wow, these are like...bubble-car dimensions.

    I look forward to seeing these parked "nose-in" on city streets a la Isetta/Smart.

    And I can already imagine Jezza driving one of these into an elevator at the BBC offices.

    @bmoreDLJ: Absolutely. You should be able to fit two of these in your single-car garage!

    And by "two", I clearly mean "not even one".

    I guess it had to happen sooner or later, but it's a little sad that the Parthenon-like chrome grille is so toned down. The grille looks like an applique on a regular car rather than the defining feature for the front end. The hood isn't even bevelled to match the corners of the grille anymore. Also, as with the Phantom, the taillights look to be an afterthought.

    This isn't a bad looking car at all. However, it doesn't look all that special.

    Jeebus fuck. What happened to that nifty little feature that condensed the press release down to a nicely digestible size? Please bring that back before the auto show. That was fucking ridiculous. Some of us are logging on with an iPhone, scrolling that will give you carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Manufacturers need to learn that putting more words doesn't get them more press.

    @Deartháir II: The Return: I really hope Jalopnik are trialling engineerd's new improved eRPS (or something like that).

    Like, I don't think I read a single press release in its entirety.

    I was most impressed by the perforated leather seats for "air cooling" -- because if I were driving this mega expensive beast, I know my ass would be doing some serious sweating.

    So, it's the size/weight of a typical 'Murican SUV, but has performance which will bend space/time.

    I'll take one, please...and a fuel tanker to follow me.

    What, no manual transmission? Lame!
