Most of this stuff didn’t happen (but, for instance, you can get night vision on a Mercedes S class, and there is the Chunnel) and they still haven’t made my flying fucking car:

This company is like a fucking zombie – nothing short of a shot to the head will kill it:
UPDATE: Looks like Chinese/Japanese-Swedish company National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) bought Saab with the intention of producing, mostly, electric vehicles. Saabs have always been strange, so why not?
UPDATE 2: Our friends at Saabs United have more details on the purchase, but here are the bullet points:
- NEVS bought the intellectual property rights to the 9-3 but nothing else
- The first new Saab product will be an electric 9-3 for China
- The cars will be designed and built in Sweden
Don’t think I don’t love this – Saab was/is a great brand, and now they’re back. Top Gear’s eulogy (premature, it turns out) after the jump:
Top Gear tested these cars (the Toyota Yaris Aygo and the VW Fox) the way anyone else would have – by playing a game of football:
I even wrote bits for them, the Bugsy lunch bits at the end of the show as heard in the above clip. A couple of mine are in there (particularly the Mario Batali). On the other hand, they’ve been doing this 25 years, so they deserve a break.
Wrote this post about a year ago, and running it again because now it’s time for another annoying display of royal indifference:
And believe it or not, it’s not in a Rolls.
My interest in the Royal Wedding™ Diamond Jubilee™ is limited, so of course I wanted a car or cooking angle. Elizabeth II rides around in a heavily-modified Bentley, the donor chassis probably related to a Bentley Arnage. HRH likes a royal purple exterior and cloth seats, so that’s what the car has. Note also the high roofline and large windows – the Queen is an expensive indulgence, so the Brits should be able to see her as she passes by. More on the car here.
Bill Cosby famously had a routine wherein he wondered why his Shelby had a fire extinguisher in the passenger compartment. He clearly did not understand race cars. But what car is more pure, more beautiful. than this:
