What's the black tongue poking out of the front of the car in picture #8? It looks like a black stretcher board for carrying an injured passenger from the (upcoming) wreck. #koenigseggccxr
Pah. Carbon Fiber coated in diamond dust is nothing. Now if they could build the body out of Aerogel and paint it in moondust, then I might toss out the 5 mil. For that price the manual better be printed over a Gutenberg Bible. #koenigseggccxr
This car, with or without whale penis, just doesn't impress me. Not that I think the Bugatti is worth a million bucks, but at least then you have a car that does one thing really really well. This... this just does a whole bunch of things really really dumbly. Whale penis leather? Really? #russiancars
I like this guy, mid-westerner, a photographic 'Loathing' reference, a pic of him driving an Atom and a propensity to compulsively watch rally videos on youtube...
I have a feeling that this entire episode is fabricated by Ben, just an elaborate hoax that will only end with him getting shot by some Russian gangster who also happens to be named "Leonard Yankelovich". #russiancars
This is Ford Tempo Fanatic's official response to this, this pathetic excuse for a Jalopnik article.
Sam Smith can eat shit and go to hell. I've had some pretty decent cars in my time, cars with manual transmissions and eight-cylinder power houses with the power to smoke the rear wheels. Yet, and yet, the Ford Tempo (not Ford Topaz jack ass) remains. I'd rather have it then all the piece of shit Camaros and Corvettes out there.
Suck on my Ford Tempo's loosely-held-on exhaust pipe. #topten
Bangle design didn't make sense of the 5-series rear, but the E60 headlamp area is sublime. The way the horizontal hood slice forms the eyebrow and the LEDs set into it, the way the headlamp edge cuts across to flow into the hood edge crease... It's stunning in 2D and liquid perfection in the flesh.
Everyone else just slaps a two-foot long headlamp assembly in the corner of the car and puts weird shavings and creases in it. Mercedes shamelessly copied the 5-series hood slice with the C-class headlamps but completely cocked it up.

Just for the record, I have nothing against the Tempo/Topaz or any of its weird-ass brethren. Promise. #topten

And how about a Trabantalimo. With a porthole. Don't see any portholes on the so-called Top 10. #limos

I'm too late for the Top 10, but in time for the added extra additional Top 10? #limos
