Is the Camaro as big as it looks? In photos it always seems very portly.

That is possibly the lamest thing I've ever seen on a car. It's just so unbelievably tacky. The fact it comes as an option on the car is amazing. Can you get that poo poo taken out because I'd be embarrassed.

Throatwarbler posted:So you've never seen a (for example) Range Rover? Lots of cars have them. I work at a place that has business ties with JLR and I'm yet to see it on them. I'll make a point of looking out for them now though, it just seems like a really weird, pointless thing to add on to a car.

They sound loving amazing at full chat too, genuinely one of the best V8 noises I've heard in a long time. I'd love to have a job just working on engine notes...

Boaz MacPhereson posted:Totally agree with this. The TV commercial for it shows those same colors on the interior and I was pretty impressed. What I couldn't figure out, however, was why in the gently caress you would want a minivan that looks that nice when you're going to fill it with horrible creatures that will fill it full of sticky snacks and beverages.

That first 3/4 shot... daaaaaaaaaaaamn; the back end on that thing is loving future. I really like that. A lot. <3 (and this is coming from someone who hasn't liked a new Ferrari since the 90s) I almost thought it had a motorized rear wing that popped up at speed but looking at the rear shot it's not the case.

Seat Safety Switch posted:We should be able to do some freaky-rear end off the wall designs on electric cars... Yup. I want to see designers push the boundaries of what we expect cars to look like. All those concept cars you've ever seen? Make them a reality. Push the boat out a little. I want to get an electric car that looks like I'm driving something out of a 90s computer game's idea of 'future', like the S class cars in Ridge Racer...

I know someone with an earlier year Superb and gently caress me it's so comfortable. The back is like a loving limo, there's so much room. I think I remarked that I could get down behind the driver's seat and sit down on the floor with room to spare if I wanted. Really nice car.

Kraftwerk posted:Man where I came from we did poo poo the old fashioned way. There weren't any pussy childseats, I sat in my mom's lap until I was old enough to sit by myself in the back seat, without a fastened seatbelt in a country famous for horrible traffic accidents. I turned out fine. Yes that was very extreme and I'm not saying we should do that. But goddamn the North American obsession with putting their kids into a protective bubble and sheltering them from every imaginable and unimaginable danger. This is why kids are complete fannies these days and it's hilarious.

I can't imagine how loving tedious life would be if I wasn't allowed to run around outside for hours and hours day after day until it got dark all summer long in my childhood. I mean I used to sit inside and play videogames or watch TV sometimes but being outside was so much more fun. You are the best kind of parent.

Everything about that car is cool as gently caress. The interior styling of the dials and such still looks modern and it's from 1963, it puts a lot of modern day manufacturers to shame.

That Honda S660 looks cool as gently caress and it's so goddamn small... 125bhp out of one of those would be a riot considering video of people racing Beats, Cappucinos and AZ-1s look fun as all hell... I suppose it's not really suited to the US market without a stack of power because all your roads are so loving boring to drive hence the whining.

Saw a Jaguar XJR earlier. 542.5bhp in a cruiser. It was a test mule, had all the lights taped up, it was super quick and made the best noise. I've always been of the opinion that the lights on these are upside down. Would look better with the swoopy bit of the light at the bottom.
