    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

    The vastly excessive chrome is designed to distract viewers from the simple, unpleasant fact that the grille is a urinal. #bugatti

    It's a nice idea, but it's been done already - Gran Turismo, Forza, NFS:Shift, TOCA - instead of notes coming at you, requiring you to finger the right frets in time, road comes at you, requiring you to accelerate, brake, and steer at the right time. There you go... #conceptcars

    In reply to GM Designer Explains OnStar Car Hero Concept
    Originally, I was going to write a post on how video games don't teach us or gear us towards anything. Then I tried using the example of guitar hero. I then realized Guitar Hero was a great incentive for me to learn guitar. Then I tried using Rock Band's Drums, but again, I crave to get a drum set now.

    So yeah, this sounds like a cool idea; but what differs it from other simulators like Gran Turismo and Forza? Those are both amazingly realistic and could set us up for stick-shift. (The way I see it, the more people driving stick, the less they're using their phones; making more of the focus on driving.) #conceptcars
