Oh, the Hoffmann. I love Jason's review on Jalopnik. "And that’s what makes the Hoffmann so fascinating. It’s not a piece of shit, build-quality-wise. It’s just that every possible design decision made on this car is somehow the absolute worst decision you could make." Link to "jalopnik.com" |

Just one was ever built, so it's just a concept car. A really ugly one... |

quite easy to see why it didn't left the concept status.. |

Keep in mind that Jason has the shittiest taste in cars. He bought a Yugo and praises it all the time. Just last week he saw two Dodge Omnis and thought it was a message to him to buy one. |

you might think i'm crazy but now i'd like to have a Yugo or an Omni ( or Horizon ) so i can expose something in vintage auto shows  ( of course i'm open to all other suggestions too.. ) -- Last edit: 2019-06-09 23:35:34 |

We are all about shitty taste in cars here. |

68 years later it's very easy to find it awful! Tried to read that Jalopnik crap, but had to stop halfway through. I'd love to hear an eye-witness report from someone who first saw the vehicle in 1951, rather than a damning review by some cynical, materially saturated blog writer in 2018. People tend to be so unbearably arrogant towards past eras, mainly because they did not have to experience them. |

Give it 10 years and electric cars will be egg shaped, it's the most efficient shape both in terms of aerodynamics and interior space. |

Very true, but none of us have made a career out of it |
