Love the new Ferrari but I thought the back was a bit too 'swoopy', so...



It's a shame I suck at photoshop.

Has the New Beetle been on sale continuously since it was introduced? I haven't noticed many. Doubt this will make much of an impact.

You might say he gave it a fayzed butt.

BMW's styling has always been hit or miss, but this is a loving abomination. I generally consider the 6 and X series the real "misses" but this piece of poo poo is in a league of its own. God drat.

It's been 15 minutes, let the bitching photoshopping commence! Sure, Jaguar might sue em for Taillight Infringement but I think the Miata's rear lights would look a heck of a light better if they had 'eyelids'

ford is saying to expect "450-500hp" and more than 434ft/lbs of torque for the new raptor, too. There is a really god chance of a sub-5 second 0-60.

And that's the 3rd most interesting vehicle ford announced today.



I've made some annotations to this image. Hopefully I'm pretty close.

So the Americans have had their fun with 60s and 70s style retro muscle cars, now it's time to bring back box flares from the 80s.

Audi's got a good start. I thought this was an R8 at first, but no, it's the Audi TT clubsport turbo technology concept car

this is just design/aesthetics-wise. That said the dash, wheel and door trim are also hideous on the 300

Do you just not like clocks or something?

Hahaha, apparently. The 300C's clock is an ugly ovaloid surrounded by more ugly ovals. To counteract the nice, clean lines of the exterior? The Genesis's clock aint so bad but is surrounded by a shitton of buttons and way too many dials.

One is a big fat coupe with big fat handling and big fat engines, and one is a knife-sharp compact coupe that drives like a racier Miata and has a wheezy little Subaru engine.

I hate to tell you this but the Miata is faster than the GT-86

It's a real loving problem that the general public doesn't share the same aesthetic views on automobiles as you and I. If I were president I'd mandate that only coupes, estates and shooting brakes may be sold in this great country of ours. (Not counting commercial vehicles of course)

That's all well and good, but how the hell does the door glass seal on the rear window. Must be the loudest car at speed this side of an old frameless door Subaru. Wonder what the watered down production one is going to look.

The frames probably fold away.

Might be the ///Type R/// you're thinking of, the Si styling isn't terribly over the top. Finally got my finances in order enough to afford a new car while maintaining proper savings cushion, drove a civic hatchback with the stickshift, really liked it (literally everything but the high-ish cabin noise) found out there's literally no way to get a stick with Android Auto and a hatchback :saddowns: guess I'll wait until next year? Maybe the Elantra GT will be pretty good? What the hell Honda, take my goddamn money

Pretty sure that Type R is the only way to get what you want. Too bad it's hideous and expensive
