Sep 20th, 2014 |
|
We’ve sat in parking lots, bored, and switched on the backup-camera feed to watch who’s behind us.

|
Following on from Lotus’s announcement of impending job losses, some more bad news for the brand’s dwindling band of followers in the States: We’ve learned that the company’s last street-legal model, the Evora, is going to be withdrawn from sale in the U.S. The news probably doesn’t come as a huge surprise.

| Lotus Position: Looking More Like Downward Dog |
Sep 19th, 2014 |
|
The big surprise about Lotus’s announcement of job losses is that it has taken so long to happen.

Sep 18th, 2014 |
|
On this planet since 2010, the Nissan Juke is the poster child for nonconformist new-wave crossovers. The design looks strangely amphibian, or like something you might encounter while scuba diving a deep reef near the Bahamas. Or a thing to be served with drawn butter and a nice side salad. Polarizing, maybe, but guaranteed to […]
