Warning: Off topic post.....

Does anyone else find the orange lettering on blue background hard to read????

And another thing, why doesn't the page scroll automatically to the right place in the story when I navigated from a post in a friends activity list? (i USED TO get directed to the post in the story - now to the middle of the story, nowhere near the right post)

sorry for the rant

nice car, man

Looks exactly like the car from League of Extraordinary Gentleman which was unbelievably sick. Although the car in the movie was a convertible and probably a gas guzzler.

Eco. You can shape it like a penis or shape it like a tree, but it still requires hydrogen. To operate that car here in central Illinois, that hydrogen would be made 30% from nuclear, 60% from coal and 1% from eco. Luckily, it will never be put to the test.

Have you seen that episode of Family Guy where Peter gets a suggestively-shaped car during a midlife crisis? THIS car looks like THAT one.

Morgans were originally poorly made Brit-mobiles that made an MG look like a Lamborghini. This thing is a piece of retro-shite that highlights a lack of forward thinking and reliance on cliched styling cues. Not as bad as the BMW 328 concept a year or two ago, but pretty close. Poor surfaces, unresolved and out of context, terrible proportions.
Not to mention the crappy photoshop renderings, one which is superimposed over a Veyron (desert shot) which is blasphemous in itself.
Hydrogen? Yeah whatever, go greenwash something that at least looks cool.

@discounteggroll: I could happily have lived my life without knowing that...

I personally preferred the previous iteration of the Aero 8, the one with the front that looked as though it had been wrapped round a lamppost.
Ok, the front of the car was a little odd but the windows etc seemed a lot more practical and, best of all, unlike this version, it had a high-performance engine that sounded like a Spitfire.

This is essentially the same body that is on the Morgan Aero, which comes nicely equipped with powerful petrol engine. If they could make that thing economic, then there would be much to celebrate.

Spasticteapot — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:42:37 EST

I think it's excellent. While the wheels look a bit odd, I'm willing to bet they're quite aerodynamic. Despite the 1920's styling, Morgans are remarkably aerodynamic.

comp_wiz101 — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:41:20 EST

The hubcaps were probably chosen for aerodynamics... smooth sided wheels let the air slip past easier than something that is concave or spoked.

I love the design, but wtf is up with those hubcaps? It looks so villain-getaway-car-y. They should've at least gone with concave billet wheels, with maybe superfluous rivets on the edge or something. Or, better yet, whatever wheels there are in the first concept rendering.
