    In reply to E'go Revolt: Russian 3000GT Officially Sketched
    It's an ok design, but really I'd like to see a whole new car. It depresses me that there are no good new designs coming out of the Russian auto industry. If ever there was a nation with the intellectual capital to build great cars, it's Russia. I guess it'll take a while before they fully work the communism out of their system and start making nice rides.

    It looks like a cross between an LFA and a GT-R. Not bad, but very derivative.

    It's going to need wider front tires to prevent lots of understeer if it is based on the 3000GT, I think. What is with everyone wanting the "staggard" look, at the sacrifice of proper handling, on AWD cars? Yes, I used the Craigslist spelling (one of many, actually) of "staggered."

    Does this mean a new supply of those hard to find Getrag trannies for 3000GT VR4 owners?

    Weirder still, instead of starting with a VR4 (the 4 wheel drive version of the 3000gt) they have taken the fwd part of a fwd 3000 and welded it to the rear part of a VR4. Perhaps this is a one-off created from 2 parts cars? I don't know but it's crazy alright. Oh and the air intakes in the back will feed a rear mounted radiator, which I assume has coolant lines running to the front of the car? Those guys are smoking some good shit over there.

    Interestingly enough, a gentleman in front of me in the grocery store checkout line yesterday informed me that there's a worldwide shortage of Eggo waffles.

    Now....what were we talking about again?

    @beercheck: It's true. I have them all. And I'm selling them on eBay. OK, not really, but people are selling them on eBay.

    I have a question about those auctions, though. They all have free shipping, but is it frozen shipping? I don't want to receive frozen waffles via regular ground service.

    You could never build a whole car out of Lego on the old 3000GT platform.

    Silly Ruskies with all that potato whisky mash and bears dancing in little hats.

    I'm glad I live in a country that is grounded in reality, not far fetched imaginary places like Russia or Alabama.

    I like it. It is also very nice that it doesn't have the proportions of a FWD (looking at you, Bentley). #bugatti

    I have less problem with the styling (even the chrome) than the fact that this might cost more than a Veyron. It doesn't look like the money. Also, those wheels are hideous. #bugatti

    Great, now the next Pep Boys accessory fad after the stick on vents lose their "cool" are going to be light up center wheel hubs, which will bring back the light up spray nozzles from a few years ago. #bugatti

    Unless it has a 40 gallon gas tank, I am guessing that the cruising range is, what, 200 miles? It's hardly grand touring when you have to stop every 2-3 hours for gas.

    For a car like this, an A8 with a big TDI mill is all I'd ever want or need. I could probably rig up the LED center caps for the wheels. #bugatti

    @FormerlyPreferredCustomer: I could see that -- a modern diesel would be perfect for a car like this. You don't need to accelerate like Jason Voorhees is chasing you; just waft effortlessly down the interstate. #bugatti

    Someone will buy it, and if they build another one, someone will buy that one, too.

    Fortunately for Bugatti, there is no corollary between wealth and taste. #bugatti
