The highlight of boring.

But even in the base base base form it still handles pretty damn well.

No, I agree...

I'm afraid that I actually like how that car looks. And that I want to strip and cage one for stage rally, which would be an awful idea.

The Mercedes E-Class, no real styling or technical innovation for years, middle of the road quality, about as exciting as Buick, but without the Peyton Manning ads.

The base-model Jetta; you want affordable? You got a $14k car without a soul.

Here in EU is the Yaris.
Reliable, not so expensive but really really dull.
There are other car in the same segment that are way more fun to drive (Fiesta, Mini) more practical (Jazz) or more posh (A1, Mini) .

On a related not, FIA approved the FIA World Rallycross Championship for 2014 at the end of September, which - quite surprisingly - got out pretty much under the radar. Apart from a few motorsports websites, no one even took notice.

All the Taxis I saw in Germany were Mercs, very comfortable. A lot better than the back of a smelly Crown Vic!

What is not made immediately apparent by this article is the reason for the sales drop, and that is that there have been very few deliveries of Teslas. This list is compromised of registered vehicles and not registered sales. That means that if Tesla does not deliver more than 98 cars that month then only 98 cars will…

well, the Ascona B hat nothing to do with the Ascona C or any other J Car besides the Name.

Definitely a heavy car! My only redeeming factor for it is it's diesel. If it were gasoline, I cannot imagine.

Radial Goggomobile.

The Mercedes-Benz W115 200D had a naturally-aspirated producing 55 hp, while the 220D had a larger engine producing 60 hp.

I had the 302! Later swapped it... with a "5.0" from a stock car...

There the original VW Type 2... Fairly big box of a van with only a 24HP 1.1L H4 from 1950 to 1952.

Here are a couple of cars that couldn't pull the cock off of a warm jelly baby:

3.9L? That's huge. I just configured a brand new Merc Sprinter with a 2.1L diesel on the local Benz site. With the optional extra length and hight. I did spec a low weight capacity obviously, it's not the dually.

This is the saddest W124.
