Tractorcross.

Ford Mondeo/Contour. Just like the Ford Sierra is the most 80’s car.

I think it’s funny how they had to add “Crosstrek” for the American version. Here in Europe it’s just sold as the XV.

There was this Norwegian car magazine that used to run lengthy feature-stories with several parts (Like driving a Lada to Russia (hint hint), going to Finland in an Evo to find Tommi Mäkinen, testing the top speed of the Daewoo Matiz on the Autobahn before testing the Carrera GT, buying a Ford Sierra Cosworth for…

1000 Jalop points to the American that can tell me what the cars are.

Quite evident when listening to the single version (in the video) compared to the album version from Stay On These Roads. Don’t think working with A-ha have ever been easy, but they’ve made a lot of good music.

I’ll always remember the title of this move because of the great A-ha song that is part of the soundtrack:

There’s something a bit Volvo 144 about this rear end. Developed at the same time, so I guess Volvo was happy that Volkswagen didn’t put it into production.

It is (according to fiaworldrallycross.com) on BeIN Sport 3 in the US, though that might not be the most common channel to have for all I know..

And don’t forget FIA World Rallycross in Hell, Norway, with livestream 14:00 CET on Sunday. Everything you need to know posted here: http://rallytakeover.kinja.com/fantasy-worldr…

Clicked to say this, happy that it wasn’t just me who noticed.

I’m also wondering.. It seems like the kind of car that can be either really bad or really good depending on how you spec it.. The Renault-engined early CVT ones have quite a bad reputation

Volvo 360. Originally developed by DAF in the 70’s, but picked up by Volvo when the DAF brand went bust. No luxury, not safe like other Volvos and it’s not as economic as other small cars from that era. Still, you could get it with an engine from a 240, and RWD transaxle (like a 944!) should make it entertaining to…

They started out with all-seasons here as well, but I think it’s changed. Since winter tires (not all-seasons) are mandated in Norway, the Tesla is delivered with regular summer tires now. I doesn’t say what tires they used in the test, but since it’s quite recent I think they have summer tires.

Yeah, only 100 kg lighter than the X6 M. The BMW “only” has 575 hp though.

Obviously the tires were limiting the handling in the corner, but the lower center of gravity helped the Tesla in the corners. The driver said that it was more that you can’t turn off electronic driving aids in the same way in a Tesla, so you could get on the power way earlier in the BMW. In the Tesla he had to wait…

A Norwegian magazine tested it against a BMW X6 M around a racetrack. The Tesla won the dragrace, but the BMW was eight seconds faster on a lap. And yeah, they used a professional racing driver.

Now how many here have actually had a drink with a racing driver?

You’ll like this 9-door Pontiac then, even if it’s not really a hatch.

The UrSaab. It’s already shaped like a wing, and with covered wheels.
