Image for article titled Blip: Okay, Peugeot, I Get It Already

The Peugot 104 was the company’s cheap, entry-level car in the 1970s, but there’s one thing it absolutely did not skimp on: telling you that some controls moved up and down. Look at those two little thumb-rollers there for, I think, the heat and fan controls? I’m not exactly sure, but I am sure how you’re supposed to move them: up and down.

It’s on those things four times: the very shape of the control itself, constrained as it is to up and down motions, the arrows on the thumbwheel itself, the side-by-side up/down arrows next to it, then the longer arrows above and below that.

I get it, Peugeot. Jeez.

Lancia 037 Test Car Headed To Auction Shows Rally Hero As You've Rarely Seen It Before
Lancia 037 Test Car Headed To Auction Shows Rally Hero As You've Rarely Seen It Before
The Lancia Rally 037 is one of those classically proportioned sports car designs that simply doesn’t age. Straightforward, purposeful and unblemished by frivolous aggressive features, the 037 represents the nexus of form and function. That’s unsurprising, considering the road-going 037 Stradale was built for homologation purposes, and is truly...
