    In reply to Detroit Auto Show: Land Rover LRX Concept
    Partially recyclable? That thing should be instantly recycled. It is both uglier and less useful than a BMW X6. Normally I'm a staunch defender of tall wagons (softroaders/SUVs) but this thing is just an absurd exercise in extreme douchery.

    When police arrived the car was gone, spotted later that night across town in immaculate condition, driving itself.

    Next you will tell us it was carrying a pregnant woman to the Hospital. But after the crash the little bugger shot out and spit fire at those trying to help.

    @Theimbellis: Yeah, but Detroit used to be the only one that didn't. Now it's going to be no better than the Cleveland Auto Show or something, more about selling cars than selling companies or dreams.

    A Detriot gearhead is unexcited about NAIAS.

    Sometimes, you come across things that are so sad that you just really can't add anything to it. This is one of those times.

    Hold tight kids, the storm can only last so long. We're halfway through it, and there are brighter skies ahead.

    In the meantime, here, have a little Johnnie Walker.

    @pauljones: Unless the storm lasts 40 days and 40 nights, and there was a reason that the new Land Cruiser is 300 cubits x 50 cubits x 30 cubits (big enough to fit two Priuses, Camrys, Venzas, and Solaras).

    How cute! BYD thinks it's a real car company too! Awwww!

    It reminds me of how I used to wear my dad's shoes and walk around my living room when I was six! I gave up on that when I figured out that wearing big-boy shoes didn't enable me to drive my dad's truck, though.

    @Elhigh: Between poisoning their own children and cheerfully disregarding even shaky worker safety regulations, do we want anything China's auto industry has to offer? I'll pay extra for something from the US, But I won't pay less if it means some poor bastard is eight times more likely to lose a finger somewhere in my suspension.

    @Syrax: I think it's funny that Western minds continue to underestimate the newcomers from the East. First the Japanese, then the Koreans, now the Chinese. When will we learn?

    The pace of change is getting faster every day, and these cars will be on par with those competitors and in driveways sooner than you think.
