I dunno, guys, I think Xerox PARC is really behind this whole "onscreen icon/GUI" flash in the pan. I'd give it another 6-8 months before the trend dies. Mark my words. #tokyomotorshow
Pointless safety regulations ensure that these cars fail to be all that they can be. With a 9 pound drive shaft and all sorts of carbon fiber structural elements, this thing should weigh 2,500 LBS instead of 3,500. Where's the extra 1,000 LBS? I don't know - but I do know that it's too much.
Sports cars should be light. Not Collin Chapman-light (they should be sturdy in my opinion), but light. L I G H T.
3,500 pounds is heavy.
I really like this car, even if the retro trend is absurd - I'm a modernist - but not at nearly 2 tons.
What would really make me happy is to see this thing inspire a Funny Car body for an NHRA team. Th proportions are almost there. Though, the old SLR was even more so.
@lilwillie hides autos in the attic: I'm surprised that wasn't the first comment.
And all out in the open too. Europeans really do have a much more relaxed view of sex.
Did VW show its wide range of "micro-mobility solutions", electric doohickeys for trips "to the fitness studio" after parking the E-Up! ? The Kickstep, Microbully, ped-tric, and VW_1M all fit in the back up the E-Up!
I'm not excited by the E-Up!, 2013 is a long way away. VW made it hard to seem bored by the E-Up! by using that punctuated model name.
Compare and contrast with the GT3RS video: Here, the camera pans over the classic lines and we are told 'It is gray. It has a ducktail.' With the GT3RS, we are shown garish graphics and a towering wing while being told how much weight has been stripped out of it and what a magnificent drive it is. We are not told it has stripes. The stripes are not important. Creators of special editions everywhere, please take note.
