It's an engineering marvel, but that doesnt give it room to be ******* hideous. I Lol'd at the 7/15mpg.

They are ugly compared to many cars in its own league as well, or just cars in general. Quit being an idiot.

That is purely subjective. I don't care for the color theme on that particular SS, but I think the Veyron design is original and beautiful not to mention the interior is probably the best of any vehicle I've seen. Name calling doesn't hurt me, Jethro - duhhh, so skidaddle and go play your fiddle boy.

Probably the most impressive car built yet, I'd say. It has no competition.

Looks good, except maybe for the rear end. Otherwise, bad ***.

It exists mainly as an objet d’art for its owner and a one-car circus parade for the fawning public. It is perhaps the apogee of internal-combustion performance, the final word before the dawning dictatorship of electric pods. It is a Bugatti
