This is awesome, but I feel it would look better in any other "base" colour than that weird peach colour. Blue or something. I realise that's probably a byproduct of the effect, but eh.

Also, I wonder how long it takes to "Normalise".

I like them. Sensible city car with full luxury interior, I'd have one if I lived/worked in London.

Is your fancy interior worth paying the 112% markup over the Toyota IQ?

I know it's more than just that but wow those things are still expensive.

Mercedes sent Rosberg out at Silverstone to do a lap with 6 cameras recording a 360 degree field of view.

http://www.wired.com/autopia/2014/02/mercedes-f1-360/

You can control the angle of view for the entire lap

There's also video of Hamilton and Rosberg driving an E63 AMGS wagon. :v:

Also the 612 isn't great looking.

Neither is the 599 (they look practically identical to me). That lambo is pretty much my dream supercar though. Colour and everything.

vvv I can see that. Problem is both those caars on their own look fine. The ferrari looks stretched and awful to me.

This has become much less of a problem recently for stock stereos; my 2007 GTI, 2012 Jetta, and 2014 WRX all had/have 3.5mm inputs

I looked at a 2006 wrx briefly when buying my last car. It had a tape deck.

Whereas my 07 civic supports MP3/wma CDs from the factory. Can't find a 3.5mm input though.

It would be cool if Ferarri brought back some older models with retro styling. A modern Daytona Spyder would be loving sweet.
