I 928's, looks like a very nice condition GT/GTS model (early/mid 90's) with Cup Sport wheels.

Bit of an odd duck, probably makes aero sense, but looks weird
Charge cord limited how high I could get my phone, hence the dash horizon & vertical photo.

It sounded pretty good & he definitely wasn't driving like a hooligan.
The wing being so far forward, and still having the little spoiler, just looked odd.

Rolls-Royce Corniche

Spoke to the owner briefly (background on the right side, nice guy), I didn't know that early models like this one have traditional hydraulic (DOT3 fluid) braking systems with vacuum servo which make ownership much easier than the Rolls Royce mineral oil braking systems which are a total mess to work on. This car is in immaculate condition inside and out.

Never knew BMW made a soft top i8, gold/bronze is also a pretty ugly color for any car

Still don't love the MB EQ models, I get function > form, but the egg-shape doesn't do anything for me.

I feel the same way about the EQ (and the ID series). I don't know why it's a prerequisite for most EVs to look like a car of the future from the 90s.

The ID4 doesn't look bad, IMO.
But yeah, most EVs are just too bulbous.

That being said, you know what I love and turns my head everytime I see one, the Hyundai IONIQ 5. Just an incredibly fresh and noteworthy design.

In case you need a refresher:

does Imola Orange count as gold/bronze? I think it looks nice on the NA2 NSX

I think an Azine member has/had one in that color too.

@synth19 has an Imola Orange NSX. To me it looks way more orange than bronze though.

I like it in photos, but it's HUGE. If they made it proper hatchback sized I'd be much more excited about it.

Can't say I'm a huge fan, but IMO EQS looks better in person than pics. Looks are subjective but looks better than a Tesla S to me.

serious though, the IONIQ5 is 3 inches shorter than a current 3-Series! What's "HUGE" about that? Seems like you haven't driven an actually huge vehicle.

The Ioniq 5 is just 3" shorter in height and length then an X3. It's the same length and 1.5" wider than a CRV, but with 12cuft less cargo space. It's the size of a crossover with none of the benefits.

The funny thing is, I love the design when photographed by itself. I think it's cool and retro yet somehow innovative. I just would have prefered it if it was an actual hatchback

A couple from a quick errand yesterday
All but the Rolls were in the same shopping center, usually some good stuff parked around there.
The G was an interesting desert tan.

My wife is not a car person, we saw a G63 recently and I mentioned they're about $200K new. She was truly shocked how expensive it was for something so utilitarian looking. I pointed out the external door hinges as well

Yeah, they don't 'look' like they should be that much $
But, supposedly the newer models are mush less spartan inside.
I'd be happy with a G55, apart from the running costs.
Got offered my wife's boss' G500 before buying the Explorer & was tempted, but he was asking almost exactly what it was actually worth, and just couldn't justify the running costs. Tires alone were shocking & tirerack only has 1 option for it [Yokohamas].
