To be fair, the EV1 is no longer made and the XL1 not yet made, so it tops the table for the time being.

Does have a bit of a melty ass, but I quite like it anyway. Stands out. Actually, it's best from the front 3/4, where you can't see the meltyness. From there it seems a bit more athletic.

I'd still rock it.

Pretty much spot on, I'd say.

2nd gear: I find Tesla's share price quite amusing. Mainly because every couple of weeks some investor or other who shorted on Tesla stock at the beginning and is now shitting themselves comes out with some reason why it shouldn't be worth as much as it is. It's like an ongoing Big Brother-style reality TV show full…

1st: I wouldn't call the C-Class "underwhelming". It's just getting on a bit, like anything else does eventually. Though admittedly, and having driven both, I'd choose a CLA over the C-Class.

While I agree, the 993 driver was lucky there that he had neither anyone to his inside, nor was there anyone else coming down the slip road. While it's great to be able to avoid an accident, it isn't always possible if you're hemmed in by other traffic.

Finding it hard to disagree with the Astro. I've just come back from the US where I drove this one for two weeks:

Agreed. It would be even worse for the sport to unfairly hamper Vettel/Red Bull's dominance, so essentially it's up to the others to catch up. Perhaps the new rules next year will shake it up a little.

That's not strictly true. Well, not for me at least - I can't speak for anyone else.

Cars like your Bug are the exact reason a bad handling car can be a good driver's car. Essentially, you input effort and a fun experience is your output.

Good to see all the W113 love here. I'm also a fan - I don't think anyone, let alone Mercedes-Benz, has since designed a more beautiful yet more understated car. No unnecessary details. Curves where they're needed, straight lines where they aren't. A wonderfully simple interior. And of course, that pagoda hard top,…

It's a NP, just. That's more than you'd pay for one here in the UK, even a nice one, but given its rarity in the US and the easy availability of Honda bits to fix it, it's probably quite a nice car for someone.

Engineering. It's small, but it's actually quite complex compared to the average small car. Simply fitting most of the stuff people expect from a car into a small space is expensive, but then there's the automated transmission and all that other stuff.

Who'da thunk making a sun-facing building an enormous parabolic mirror would cause problems?

Dammit. Now I want a 190E again...

That's really eerie, knowing how far up there it's sitting and how close it is to making a bid for freedom...

I want one of those so very much.

I remember the Honda Stream being rated reasonably in its day. Basically a Civic with a slightly longer wheelbase and a couple of extra seats. Curious desire to turn one into a track car.

I'd agree with this. I've had a load of fun recently driving the Peugeot Bipper and Partner models - basically the Nemo and Berlingo with different badges.
