Nice try, DEA Agent Patrick George. You won’t get me to give up my secrets that easily.

Going off track because you didn’t take the time to memorize the course properly.

It just so happens that it is. It’s over the East River in New York, you may have heard of it.

Yeah, he’s not much fun.

I loved the gated community idea but unfortunately I can’t say I like this final version of it.

I wanted to get a set for winter last year but they’re fairly hard to find and apparently sell out quickly where available. :/

Check out Nokian tires. Hakkapeliitas (I think I got that right but don’t quote me on it) are supposedly a great tire and the name is cool.

I like the styling but the proportions and front overhang definitely lend credence to the thought that it will be front wheel drive. At this point I’ll be surprised if it’s not.

For comparison. Note how the Fiat’s bodywork stays much further away from the structure of the car at the nose. That is why I don’t care for its styling, the front end should have been more aggressively shaped around the chassis for a lower, sharper nose. The same is true for the rear end.

Getting there...

I know JLR has made great strides of late but that’s not going to stop me making the jokes.

The headline makes it sound like JLR plans to spend $6.8 billion to cut costs. If they spend it on improving reliability that plan may actually work.

Nooooo.....

Lewis in the middle having to restrain himself is pure gold too.

Neutral: Has Your Car Been Recalled Lately?

Hmmm, deceivingly narrow; longer than I thought. Thanks for the info.

I read that bit about it fitting between a Miata and an 86 but that size gap is not very big (pun intended) and it just doesn’t look like it fits the description. The S-FR looks significantly narrower and taller in proportion with its tiny wheels. I’ll keep hopes alive that this does see production and export as well…

While a 1.5l powerplant would indeed keep it from being a Kei car, it sure looks like it could be one proportionally. Dissappointing as it may be for the prospect of export, since the engine is not confirmed it could still very well be a 660cc turbocharged 3-cylinder.

Crash test dummy robot.

Flavian Vidal got himself some press creds and has posted some nice photos on Oppositelock: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/a-few-more-det…
