... Covering the bull?

A very popular Japanese character.

... I do like it. The bull is cool, but Rilakkuma may be even cooler!

Interesting article topic but so poorly written.

Man Business Insider needs a strong editing team!

Besides that, fact checking - the only true scissor doors are the Lamborghini scissor doors on the Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago, which hinge straight up and down.

Even the Aventador doors now swing outward to aid ease of ingress and egress, let alone all the other examples.

Thanks for the link!

If I could choose only one, that would be the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing 😍

I wonder if the reality can live up to the dream...(was just talking to someone whose uncle was a first owner of a Gullwing. He sold it because it was so uncomfortable...)

Interesting what we are willing to put up with when practicality is no longer the main driving motivation...

TM

And I'm not sure the today's supercars are more comfortable compared to it 🤔

Todays supercars arent necessarily more comfortable...
It is always fascinating to hear the opinion of not quite addicted car lovers / watch lovers who are first owners about "icons" revered by the addicted.

The Koenigsegg doors open and move within the width limits of the car so it can be parked close to other objects and you can still get out.

... Car! Give me a Koenig, a Porsche, a Ferrari, a Lotus, a Mercedes. But Lamborghini? Lamborghini lacks the heritage of a Ferrari or a Porsche. My neighbor recently got a Lambo, and only after being called a douche-bag by his wife, kids business associates (and the neighbors), he has since UPGRADED to a Porsche Macan. And while certainly very successful, he is humble enough to admit he was acting like a petulant child when making the purchase and almost immediately had buyer's remorse. In the end, he was lucky enough to get out of it for what he paid, which was upwards of $275,000. I have no issue with someone spending whatever they want on a car, be it Rolls, Bentley, whatever... in fact, I've got my eyes on a Aston... But at the end of the day Lamborghini is simply and utterly douchey.  Just my dos centavos.

Not.

Whatever.

... Guilty as charged

Related to brands and products, maybe more than most, a cornerstone of ThePuristS, and PuristSPro, discussions is that we try to rise above blind fanboy tribalism. This blind fanboy tribalism swings both ways, for and against.
Perhaps you were joking, but your post had so many conclusive broad sweeping judgemental statements unbacked by fact (or self contradictory), were ad hominem (which we frown on here on PuristSPro) against all Lamborghini owners, and stating opinion as fact (yes there is a difference) that I failed to see the humour.

That doesnt make the Lamborghinis "simply and utterly douchey" just as shallow banal Rolex owners dont make Rolex banal, or scumbag BMW or snotty self rightous but shitty Prius drivers make the cars shitty or self righteous.
BtW Porsches have more than their fair share of douchbag owners and drivers, as well as probably the highest percentage of serious and skilled drivers of any brand.

One of the many reasons I thoroughly enjoy participating in this community is because the types of behavior you poignantly describe are few and far apart. Unfortunately a certain kind of customer can be found in most high-end product demographics but the intellectuals will never judge a product primarily off of such clientelle. I do not fancy a lot of Rolex, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Bentley consumers who too happily grovel in their crudeness but that in no way takes away from the products and the fact that they can be commissioned and enjoyed by far more intelligent and tasteful individuals - some of which I, among others here, know. Still, I do feel a bit of brand pride in Aston still maintaining a more sophisticated image than the rest . Now, if they simply severed ties with the Bond framchise xD.... Thanks Thomas for these interesting contributions! Cheers, Filip

Very humble and down to earth.

like him a great deal. I don't think that they could have done any better in that regard. And to finally answer your question myself - my preference is predictably Aston's swan wing doors but Lambo's scissors are a close second . Cheers, Filip

I was thinking of Dr. Palmer, but Ms. Schwab too as well! Cheers, Filip

... Agreed.
