Nov 7th, 2014 |
|
Nobody liked the googly-eyed Bentley EXP 9 F SUV concept. Perhaps a few contrarians convinced themselves that it was the right sort of imposing machine for the Flying B to foist upon its well-heeled customer base, but like, sometimes, ugly is just ugly, without much to redeem it. Supposedly, it played well in China and […]

| Caterham F1 Is Crowdfunding the Rest of Its Season |
Nov 7th, 2014 |

Poor Caterham F1. The team is so utterly and totally broke, it can’t afford to appear on the grid at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Audi has faced criticism about its cars all looking the same in different sizes, like matryoshka, those Russian nesting dolls. Consider the A7 a counterpoint. A large hatchback sedan based on the A6, it doesn’t look like the A6 or even the not-for-the-U.S. A5 Sportback. Every crease is its own, and the overall shape is […]
