This was also called the Suzuki Swift in some markets. Congratulations to Suzuki for making the list twice thanks to bad(ge) engineering. A slow car by any other name...

Am I remembering right? Don't some of the power boat races have a separate throttle guy and steering guy?

Good on ya... at this point, I like what I like, screw classifications.

See, this is what I love about cars. We can all be right... and wrong simultaneously. Huzzah and whatnot.

There's a nugget of truth to this

I've had kosher bacon and it was delicious. Wait what?

This is how you do bacon plus ethanol.

I liked it. I rather prefer the e21 to the e30 which seems to be a minority opinion.

Thanks. That sounds like the details I couldn't remember.

Sound about right. Except some of these guys really do seem to know their shit about cars, and little about your/you're or their/there/they're etc.

I was pointing out the funny contrast wherein they switched platforms but tried to make it look the same. Which is rather the opposite of the usual goal.

Not specifically the M6 but rather the e24 chassis is supposedly underpinned by e12 bits for early models and e28 bits for later models. Or at least that's the word on the street (message boards) when it comes to parts interchangeability between early and late model years.

Absolutely. Via post-hoc reasoning. If they have already made up their minds about people who drive fun/flashy cars being bad writers, then charcoal must be a flashy color since charcoal car ads contain mistakes.

Hate to say it, but with what I've read on typical "enthusiast" boards, I can believe it. Many of the worst offenders are "gurus" with extensive model knowledge. Oh and 5000+ post counts, which you'd think would be enough practice.

Thanks. Now I have a completely different ludicrous image in my head from before. I had been imagining firing off all 4 corners at once so the car literally hopped the fence. Now I'm imagining other cars launching people off the trunks by firing only the rear wheels. In Evel Knievel jumpsuits no less.

It's only a matter of time before this begins happening at the USA/Mexico border. The whole time I thought hydraulics on low-riders were just for fun. /sarcasm

The is a supposedly a way to tell visually, something about the fender arch and the body accent line but I can't remember off the top of my head.

If I recall, that wasn't so much a bad nose job as it was an unmitigated-rolling-styling disaster.

The e24 did the opposite, early models are based on the e12 platform and later ones on the e28. Looks didn't particularly change.
