Top 5 Cars.com News Stories of the Week
To quote 2000’s “X-Men” film, “Mutation: It is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.” Applying that same logic to automotive evolution (imagine what I’m saying here in Patrick Stewart’s dignified, aristocratic tone), it doesn’t take “thousands and thousands of years” for a car model to suddenly mutate into a vastly superior version of itself from one generation to the next – but it is pretty rare.
