  • Lotus.

    The brand name is still alive, but the company might as well be dead. In what world does a 1.400 kg entry-level Lotus make sense? In what world that makes sense does Lotus offer a 2.500 kg car!!! This is insane.

    “Oh but their cars didn’t sell well, hurr durr”. Yeah, as if the reason they didn’t sell well was low weight. It’s all marketing. They could have made an SUV their own way, and offered something special while still filling a gap in the market. There are crossovers out there that weigh an entire TON less than the eletre. I’m sure they could have done better, but whoever bought that brand doesn’t care, they just want a sportcar name for their lineup. Fuck that.

    Bring back the real Lotus.




  • The Aston Martin DB12 is essentially a facelifted DB11. I never loved the DB11’s front end, but I’ve finally grown used to it, and now they release the DB12, and my god, I can’t believe how the same person who designed both of those cars’ rear end (they look the same), and other models like the One-77 came up with THAT front end. It’s terrible.

    And I know that what I’m about to say will be sacrilegious to a lot of people, but I often think cars that lose their pop up headlights look instantly better. For example, I always thought the original Honda NSX looked better with fixed headlights, even though the image of a pre-facelift model is undeniably legendary.
