One of the few cars I drove where I got crazy looks. Nobody could ignore it.

Europe is downsizing engine sizes and adding turbos. Why doesn't Detroit do the same over there? Wouldn't the 2.3L be better off being replaced by a 1.8 Turbo or something?

What's so special about that?

@bearddevil: Well, I suppose if I had a Pacifica, I could choose to live in a car.

My doG! Is that non-Euclidean geometry? Because that car looks exactly like it stepped out of the Cthulhu mythos.

Computer generated images so far seem to indicate the car's design is a cross between the outgoing US Accord and the Ford 500. In other words, teh suxx0rz.

I was wondering how long would it take you guys to pick up on that. We test-drove the car in a go-kart track for this week's issue.

Silly americans! LMP1 prototypes are not body-on-frame, they're monocoque. Too many years of stock-cars racing as GT cars in Trans-Am has numbed your mind. But I don't blame you, I blame Bill France.

At first I was thinking "YES" just for rarity alone. But then I remembered I wouldn't buy a more famous DeLorean, so screw the Guanci.

Dudes! Is it an epidemic sweeping throughout teh 8l0g05ph3ar?

I vote yes if the OS allows the cars to transform into giant robots. Otherwise no deal.

Out with that over-engineered castrated bull elephant. What's the point of having 1000hp if you need electronic babysitters to be able to get it out of the driveway?

Everyone seems to be braking the embargo, then.

I heard the current JDM Delica D:5 might be coming to Europe. Maybe it's only that.

I'm as big on revivalism as the next guy, but this new Pantera looks kibda "meh" to me. I think the frontend isn't as |<001 as it could be. Maybe if the spoiler or the grille were redesigned.

I hope it uses a small twin-turbo V6. I think the concept of the Biturbo was awesome. Sure, the cars were crap, but they didn't have to be.

@KMII: I think they were trying to go for something like "Ka=car" —> "Kuga=cougar". But you're right, it's quite unfortunate and you could save millions of euros in marketing by spending a few hundreds in a few international calls.

The MXR-01 was teh suxx0rz. It was just an XJR-14 with a Judd engine in it. In 1992 that was like sticking a Ford Endura engine in a VW Corrado.

"Righto, miss" - that's far from the first thing that pops to my mind when those silly voicenav systems send me the wrong way. Usually I just blurt out "STFU, beeotch"
