You can not like CUV's all you want, but arguing they're not utilitarian is incorrect. The reason people drive them are (1) Image; not a wagon, and (2) They're practical as hell.
Come on, at this point complaining that a 335 doesn't have 3.5 liters of displacement is like complaining that a Mustang is not ACTUALLY a horse. Get over it.
The Clio is larger than the Renault Twingo and is a class rival to the Ford Fiesta. By European standards, its a mid sized car. This size is what current international rallying bases their vehicles on. While Renault does not make an RC1 or RC2 rally car, their company twin Citroen DS3 has a WRC, RRC, R5, R3, R2, and…
If not smallest, at least smaller than average. The first and second best-selling cars in the UK are the same size as the Clio, and neither they nor the Clio are generally seen as 'tiny'.
I wouldn't call the Clio tiny at all. There are plenty of far smaller cars.
In the '60s, rally cars weren't really one-off customs. Hell, even today there are some relatively almost-domestic cars racing in WRC occasionally. In fact, Production Rally racing (the ones Mini was winning at Monte Carlo) requires all cars be actual production vehicles - 2500 identical cars must be built. Back…
Since when is a Clio Sport a tiny car? I suppose when you're from Murica' your view of the world gets warped slightly
Have you watched that video? What the video is backing up is that some speed limits in some area's are too low, and I happen to agree with that video it was well done. But what happened here in Colorado is totally different that someone going 80 in a 65 zone, this guy was moving way way too fast for the situation. I…
"old, first-gen Chevy Malibu circling the block"
Where was the first gen Malibu? I watched the whole thing and didn't catch it.
Every once and a while io9 asks this question and I have to put them in their place. Think you know disturbing? Well after an evening of wandering that weird part of YouTube, I can say that you know nothing.
I give you, Fantastic Hey Hey Hey:
I've never heard of this man until now. This guy is so hardcore he makes Chuck Norris wash his jock strap
He has also driven along a road covered in mines with a home-made plow in front of the car. He drove 50 MPH along the road, and the mines flew to the sides and detonated when they hit the ground.
Toyota Comfort / Crown Comfort - introduced in 1995 and still being manufactured today and used in Hong Kong and Japan as taxis.
Or you could just not buy the stupid F150 and get something sensible instead. Seriously, I'd bet that 90 percent of truck owners in America would do just as well with some small diesel crossover that's twice as efficient, nearly as practical, and won't case your eyes to bleed or your neighbours to assume that you have…
The victim are Perodua Alza, a Daihatsu Boon Luminas on steroid while the other is Perodua Kenari, a rebadge Daihatsu Move. You can say that Perodua are the Ladas of Malaysia.
I wish I could! Maybe you should turn down the damn music and let me hear the engines!
Ruined by the awful music which drowned out the epic engine noises.
Of course not, but that has little to nothing to do with the problems of Rover in the 1980s, the period about which you're writing. British Leyland suffered countless labour problems in the 1970s, leaving what would become Rover producing cars which were barely finished when they left the factory, but by '88 the…
