The Russian designers have been going nuts recently, first was the whale-penismobile, and now this, which is ugly, and offends my sensibilities. This Andrey fellow has designed a Maserati crossover, which thankfully has nothing to do with any real Masers. Still though, this makes a Porsche Cayenne look like a Ferrari Testarossa. It looks like it should live in the depths of the ocean and lure small fishies closer with its head-lamps before devouring them. It looks like a fat toad after 30 minutes in the microwave. It looks like it should be covered in slime and living under a bridge. Also, I just noticed that the design album on Car Design, is labelled “Design Sh!t.” Couldn’t have put it better myself. More pictures of this horrible atrocity after the jump.
If you’ve ever wondered what an F1 race staged at this circuit might look like, you can stop. Turns out it’s about 99.99999999% likely to not ever happen, after all. Reasons why after the jump.
RussoBaltique is a luxury, armoured car manufacturer that tends towards a certain kind of typically Russian lunacy. While it is the most expensive SUV ever, and is gaudy as all get out, the most ridiculous part is the seating material. The most “luxurious” seating material I have ever heard of isn’t alcantara, it isn’t silk, it isn’t a fine suiting wool, it sure as hell isn’t vinyl, and it isn’t leather, well, not normal leather at least. It is…
The other day I was thinking about the cars I and my friends first laid hands on as new drivers. Cars that took us, i nuovi piloti, to high school, parties, dances, and our menial excuses for part-time jobs. Sometimes they were our own cars, but often we borrowed them from friends or parents. Occasionally, [...]
Let’s dig into the deep and nebulous world of Craigslist for some essential (and somewhat obvious) tips for how to sell your car using free online classifieds. Kijiji users, this applies to you too. It’s entitled: “Why Your Car Isn’t Selling — Econ 101″. Enjoy!
Today Nissan announced the arrival of its 40th anniversary edition of the 370Z. Can you believe it’s been 40 years since the 240Z shouldered its way into the North American market with such novelties as reliability? Time flies, I know. While the 370Z is stock form is a decent piece of hardware, the NISMO model [...]
As you have hopefully noticed by now, I write about cars, and thusly probably like cars quite a bit. You’re an astute little bugger aren’t you? Anyway, in accordance with my being a petrol-head, I had a Hot-Wheels collection as a child. On many weekends I’d take over the entire living room with tracks and attach the starting point to the second floor banister. Luckily, my mother likes to read and that doesn’t require much space, so I was free to claim vast tracts of prime lounging real-estate for the sake of my races. How this hobby has defined how I view cars after the jump.
Is Federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson considering random breathalyzer tests? According to MADD chief exec Andrew Murie, yes. Is this another example of pandering to special interest groups or is Nicholson just blowing 0.08?
Here at CarEnvy, we love us some performance cars. But the thing about performance cars is that your local enforcement agency doesn’t want you do enjoy them. So, if you want to be boring, you can do that. But if you want to have a little more fun, you’re not going to want to get [...]
