I have not considered Jalopnik a journalism site for a long time, every article they post is an opinion piece.

Aehem.

The Manta thing was a huge thing of my childhood. I actually grew up where Manta Manta was shot, and it was always the classic Golf GTI vs Manta story.

I am kind of disappointed that nobody noticed the hugely abused and dented rear wheel....you disappoint me, internet!

No mention of Operation Credible Sport? I am disappointed.

My hometown in Germany, Essen, has this since years by the way...and this is where the Swiss have the idea from :)

That is by the way the Michael Hilti of Hilti Powertools fame.....

No way, a 240hp more powerful AWD engined car outran a RWD front engine car? The more you know.

For added insult Chris Harris should drive it on Drive.

X5, it has the "Hofmeister Kink".
