It's equally as crazy looking as the puma, which is not surprising because it was designed by Franco Sbarro, resident crazy swiss designer of the automotive world.

What I hate the most is that the a lot of these concepts could make it to production without much change to the design (take the Exalt for exempe). Yet they don't.

I know, this car is pure pornography. I wish Peugeot would make it's net Sedan out of it...

Peugeot, maker of awesome concept cars never making it to production since 1891.

Subaru is a bit weird, it really depends on the markets. The French Alps, and around the Swiss, border have a stupid amount of Subarus, they're not everywhere, but I see quite a lot of them when I'm there.

Those sweet Antilag systems! I love being on the side of a rally stage and seeing old Delta Integrales and Sierra Cosworths flying by, and burning the side of the road at each gear change.

The way it was written might have been why they removed it (because Ferrari), but they could have added a space between La and Ford and it would have been fine. And it's a shame they removed it because the new GT really THE Ford, it's an Halo car after all, and it should be named as such.

Maybe, but Twisted (another British tuner specialized in Defenders) also put a LS V8 (from a Corvette) in a Defender 110, and I believe they haven't modified the front to fit it.

For me wagons are also 5-doors cars. It's five doors as long as the glass lifts with the boot and in which there is no clear separation between the passenger area and the storing area in the trunk. It's the difference between a two-volume and a three-volume car.

Well, technically, the A7 is a 5-doors car.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a generic plate like many automakers do (see Aston Martin's AMV12 or others). And since the Defender comes with the same kind of engine shown in your screen cap.

OMG that's a HUGE epiphany for me. I've seen the movie so many times, and I'd never saw that !!

Taxes on car vary from country to country. In Portugal, it's exactly what you said, the car is taxed on the displacement of the engine. Here in France you either have a bonus or a malus depending on how much CO2 your car emits. The picture below gives you the rates for the past years. The left hand column is the

Oh that's cool, I didn't even remember I wrote that (well pasted pictures would be more accurate).

Any DTM car. They all sport the Deutsche Post branding (what do you mean they're not postal vehicles?)

It looks like a Twisted Defender, with a bit more ground clearance.

I would say the reason is fairly simple. As you said gas is cheaper. And you have one thing we don't have across the pond, and that is space. While the most sold vehicle in the US is a pickup, in Europe it's the Golf. In 2013, of the 10 most sold ars in Europe, 9 were compacts or smaller. The other one (being n°10) is

Fontange has some banked turns but that's all, nothing NASCAr like.

I just thought of it. Michelin has some great test tracks around the world. Ladoux (pictured) near the headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, Fontange near Marseille, Almeria in Spain, which is a dirt test track and Laurens in South-Carolina. Those 4 tracks are where they develop all of their tires and they all come equip

Don't forget these two auctions at Rétromobile this week, the one with that huge barnfind and the second one, lots of amazing cars in there like:
