I posted that up in the Banana Hammock, or whatever they're calling the lounge these days, about a month ago and nobody seemed to care.

That's because it's such a huge embarrassment and they want to pretend it's not happening. If they ignore it maybe, it will go away.

Can't wait to see Cory's new car

I think it was a Hyundai tiburon originally. At least it sort of looks like an older Tiburon mated with an accordion. On a VERY bad drunk.

I just figured it out. It's a new concept in crossover vehicles. It starts out as a relatively (For China ) Sporty coupe. And as you get older and have kids. It the back raises like that. So it can become a mini-van.

Even better you get a car that has the crumple zone in the passenger compartment.

You guys have seen all the crash test videos right?

That is the only crash test I have seen where the dummy has been decapitated...

China's Brilliance BS6 is a recent entry into the European market, positioned as a premium-style import sedan at a budget price. Well, after seeing the videos of the car undergoing crash testing using Euro NCAP guidelines at the ADAC (Germany's AAA, essentially) test center, one thing's certain: buyers get what they pay for. The BS6, as currently constructed, appears to a complete piece of crap. The horrifying 40 mph offset frontal crash test video shows damage that can be described as catastrophic at best. The A-pillar collapses and folds up like a cheap suitcase, forcing the driver's door to pop largely out of its frame, while the lower portion of the car buckles like it's made of recycled pop cans. We wouldn't want to be the driver's legs...or any other part of him for that matter. To open the mangled door afterwards, the ADAC techs needed to use a huge crowbar to get it to budge. ADAC notes that the pedals intruded a foot and a half (32 cm) into the driver's space, while the IP moved in almost 8 inches (20 cm). Needless to say, the BS6 failed the test, garnering just 1 star. - autoblog.com


definitely DO NOT WANT!
