I give them props for trying something unique looking in today’s car landscape. People love to complain that all cars look the same, then a company comes along and does something interesting, those same people talk about how shit it looks. Just be happy you’re not getting another CUV people. Read more

I adore this car. I know it is not for everyone. But I think it is fantastic, especially in this color. It reminds me of some retrofuturist car from Gattaca. And I definitely thought the same about a very French feeling. It’s nailing that 1970s Citroen DS estate retro/future vibe.  Read more

They’re ridiculous but the ones I liked most were the Brosnan-era Bond car chases in Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day. The remote control BMW 7-series was so cool to 10 year old me, and the chase between the first modern-looking Aston that not only had retractable studs but disappeared and the amazing BRG Jag Read more

The Fast 5 Bridge chase near the end of the movie. That was before the franchise went almost completely to shit.It was pure gold.And bringing it back in X, with the same story except for Jason Momoa.That was AFTER the franchise went to shit. There was actual fire I believe (I could be wrong).

Against All Odds Porsche v Ferrari through LA

Every time I’m changing channels and I end up on The Bourne Identity, I have to watch it for the incredible car chase through Paris. Read more

Like I get it, it was once owned by a really shitty person, but at the same time, it’s not STILL owned by that family so it’s not like the money is going to them. And unless the specifically bought it BECAUSE it was Leopold, III’s car, which is highly unlikely, then what does it matter.  By that same logic you should Read more

Front the side it looks a lot like the previous generation Honda Accord, and that is not a bad thing. KIA is really looking good lately. I wish American cars took chances like this.

The pejorative comments here are indicative of how people judge art and form on purely subjective, contemporary terms. Which is kinda dumb, IMO. Read more

Yes, it is an absolutely breathtaking design. Anyone who says differently is simply being a whiny contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. Read more

I was sort of prepared to not give an iota of interest to this thing when I first heard of it. Not since the unveiling of the first Veyron have I cared about any of its successors. But... this thing is just spectacular and different and wild and gorgeous and insane and intricate and I can’t even come up with more Read more

The more I look at it and learn about it, the more I love it. This is something from our time that people will see in a museum 100 years from now and still be amazed. Read more

Folks, this post single-handedly got me the full BINGO on my “dumbass EV arguments” card.  Anyone else, or do I win the big stuffed clown? Read more

You know what is a better car for America? One that appeals to consumers and sells. Otherwise if you’re making unappealing EVs, consumers will gravitate to the form factors that appeal to them regardless of their propulsion, and only a fraction of the potential customer base will be seeing those efficiencies you are Read more
