What I find fascinating about these and other electric vehicles (like Canoo) are the new shapes that removing a complicated combustion engine allow.

Admission: I had the live stream for this vehicle reveal on my calendar, excited by the rumors that Toyota was bringing this classic back to the US making it SMALLER and more agile. Definitely getting some Bronco competitive vibes from the boxy retro design. Plus also, hybrid.

I'll truly believe it when I see one on the road, but the vehicle of my dreams as a youth is almost to these shores. I'm glad to read the third row can be removed entirely. It’s still a year away from US dealerships. (2024)

I am a broken record, but every time I see this link pop up across my surfing I'm like, heck yes buttons are better.

I don't think about sports cars too much because I generally couldn't fit in them if I tried, but dang Hyundai's design team is on fire.

This entire article can be summed up by the title. Don't get me wrong, as soon as fully autonomous vehicles are a real thing? Screens everywhere!

Sadly, this camper truck concept is not real. But I can dream.

I kind of want to make a special trip to San Francisco to see this Daihatsu kei fire truck IRL.

This looks more interesting than the VW Microbus that is never coming out and the Ford Bronco

Over half of all cars sold in Norway in 2020 were fully electric, here's partly why they became so popular...

Warning, this is a loud TikTok, but it shows the genius of the platform through multiple duets.

I vacillate between wanting the scale and life of people and cars to wanting this very thing. Dig it.

This mobile letterpress studio is traveling across the country and the whole notion is dreamy. (Coming to Oxford Ohio and likely your neck of the woods). 

I'm loving the expanse of greenhouses on cars and panoramic sunroofs that we're seeing in production today. This futuristic concept, albeit bubbly, has some nice surprises. Check out the turn-signals at about 00:40 (video)

Come spring, I hope to grab a treat from here. / via wonderland

Aside from the economic angle of this article, the rest is awesome I think. /via studiomate Wendy

This 8-bit video, though tawdry at points, is most excellent (via waxy)

If the lettering on dirty trucks was always this nice, I'd say don't wash 'em.

I want to be very excited about these cars that run for so many miles strictly on electric before switching over to gas.

Wow. That's dedicated. (via swiss-miss)

Pretty cute. (via Brian, lover of tiny cars)

I managed to miss that Joe Clark was collecting his photos of truck backs. Because "front of truck is démodé"

A tiny slice of welcome perspective to the wonderful portraits of actors in the recent NY Times Magazine. I saw this in meatspace over brunch and was thrilled by the shots, locations, and ultimate captures. View the slideshow online.

I wish the menu was more straight-up iphone-like. (thx zachary)

Graphic goodness galore. Iron-on shirt transfers, a trucking game, and I haven't found it all. Wish my screen was bigger to soak in all the fun (via jacked)

I totally disagree with all of these, except for the Aztek (via designObserver)
