Looks to me like that motorcycle should be carrying the car. ---

Yes, true, it was a humble car. ---

Today, a Genesis GV60 electric SUV. It looks pretty sharp. This is not your father’s Hyundai. The 3rd pic is from the web. And the Genesis logo looks close to Aston Martin’s. I don’t think they’re pleased with that.

Whoever is running the Hyundai/Kia design studio is definitely firing on all cylinders. Wish we had a Genesis dealer in town. I would say they have the most attractive portfolio right now hands down. ---

They certainly are! Hyundai and Kia are making some fantastic cars these days. ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > Today, a Genesis GV60 electric SUV. It looks pretty sharp. Just saw one today on the drive home from the studio. I have to say, I wasn’t that impressed by it in person. It looks mostly like an egg. As to the wings emblem, it also resembles the Bentley, Mini, Harley-Davidson, and Chrysler logos. Wings aren’t that unique. ---

Yes I know. That’s obvious. When I saw that logo, _on that car_ that I did not recognize (because it’s new), my first thought was, Aston? ---

I saw an old Mitsubishi Mighty Max pickup on the road today (US name for the 1986-95 Mitsubishi Triton pickup). Even back in the era when compact pickups roamed America’s streets, I don’t remember those being all that common (not counting the Dodge badged versions). Mitsubishi always seemed like the “also ran” of the truck world in the US. Oh, I also saw a C8 Corvette Z06, but I honestly found the humble pickup more interesting. ---

Later today for the first time I saw a Hyundai IONIQ 6. I couldn’t snap a pic so these are web photos. The styling is a little edgy… perhaps a little too edgy. [[Album] The Hyundai IONIQ 6 ![](https://i.imgur.com/P9aQ4Kw.jpeg?fb "The Hyundai IONIQ 6") ](https://imgur.com/gallery/lPY9USH) ---

I was reading how the design team absolutely obsessed over the drag coefficient–they wanted to get into the .1 c/d range but had to settle for .21 (I believe) which of course dramatically affects highway range. ---

I regularly cycle by a carport with a Nissan Leaf and Hyundai Ioniq 6 parked side by side. Talk about being both an early adopter and living on the bleeding edge. Hyundai related: All the press and buzz about the Ioniq 5 was very careful to note that the engineers were reeely smrt and no you did not need a rear window wiper because of the magic of aerodynamics. One winter in Calgary, heck one week in Calgary in chinook conditions would have put rest to that notion. I see the new N line Ioniq 5 has a rear window wiper. Haw haw! ---

A Bentley Bentayga SUV at the supermarket. I didn’t notice whether it was a hybrid, because until a minute ago I didn’t even know the model name or that it was available as a hybrid.
