Replying to: steve_ (Jun 24, 2009 9:13 am) Karl drove a MINI E the other day and tweeted a bunch about it.   Ugh. You just touched on a nerve.   The site is called twitter, therefore the messages SHOULD be called twits and people are twittering.   And, yes, I am aware of what a twit is, and, frankly, I think it is quite appropriate for 99% of what can be found on twitter.   There! I've said it! It is off my chest! Replies to this message: lemko (Jun 24, 2009 11:20 am) qbrozen (Jun 25, 2009 7:59 am)

Replying to: qbrozen (Jun 24, 2009 8:41 am) Karl is on the live chat right now and pointed out that the MINI E is only going to be offered in 3 states and there's only going to be 500 of them made, at least initially. And the rollout for those 500 will probably take 18 months.   Don't look for the E to show up under the New Cars link anytime soon, in other words.

I have seen several Insights over the past couple days. One was doing duty as some kind of delivery vehicle for a HVAC company.

Replying to: fintail (Jun 24, 2009 9:08 am) I agree totally about the 6, also about the Mazda3....both have become a bit garish (as has become the norm stylistically for MOST cars lately, IMO). I'm a big fan of low-sill, high roofline cars, too many newer designs feel claustrophobic to me.

Replying to: ghulet (Jun 24, 2009 10:55 pm) I don't like the "face" on the new 3...really too dopey and cutesy for me to tolerate.   I think dumb styling cues (like aggressive headlights) ar an admission that designers can't do anything else.   The tank-window look is about safety...not actual safety, but the feeling of safety and isolation. I think the sheeple value that in these times. Even MB, which has a history of tall-windowed cars, has shortened them up a bit.

Replying to: fintail (Jun 25, 2009 8:09 am) I think the 300C popularized the trend. I hate it - give me a big greenhouse any day.   I actually measured the rear window on the soft and hard top Miatas to see which offered better visibility. The hard top does - mostly because the glass is closer to your eyes. Replies to this message: fintail (Jun 25, 2009 7:09 pm)
