The wing is likely an option. This same car was caught yesterday with a much smaller, more palatable spoiler.

No more exploding engines, no more droopy headlights, no more plastic rear window, no more people saying that it's just a Porsche for poor people. Oh wait. Scratch that last one. Still though...

No punishment is too harsh for this kid.

Behold: The cute-ute. Big enough to feel safe, small enough for parking spots. Enough traction for a wet road, but not enough for no road. It's a car specifically designed to appeal to women. Just ask the designer: "The CR-V is for women in their early 30s who either have a child under 2 or are about to have their…

Maybe I would understand why so many people voted Nice Price if someone explained to me why the writers/readers at Jalopnik are so fascinated with American cars from this era.

I vote Nice Price, but let me clear about why: There is no way on God's Green Earth that I would even spend $12,000 on this car, but I am all for the basement inventors out there who actually take on projects like this. There's a lot of hate in this thread for this guy because he's a hippy/dork/nerd/whatever, but…

At first I read the price as $13,900. I think my brain didn't want to believe the truth.

Ok, so maybe this doesn't stack up when it comes to mileage, but happiness has to be worth at least a couple gallons of unleaded.

Stripe delete? Then I'll take mine in white.

The voting box doesn't show up on my Android.

Pipe. Not only is it hideous and likely gremlin infested, it's also not a real Porsche.

@RalphieDC: Well, I will concede your point on the "cute" front. The little Fiat has even succeeded in bringing a little warmth to my colder-than-an-Audicicle heart.

"The Mini Cooper just got pwned."

When I see those flaps at the back, all I can think is...

Seriously. This is fucking great news.

In Europe the 'Roc is pretty much the same price as the GTI. Hopefully that won't change for the US model.

@Fat Tire: FRAN!

Even as an owner of a slightly overpriced European hatchback (Mini), I'm really not sure about the RS3. Forty to fifty grand is a lot of money that can buy a lot of performance these days, and I'm not just talking about value leaders like the Mustang. As much criticism as the 1 M has been getting for its price, it…

Body panels are a snap to change, you say? Mr. Potato Head does not approve.

At least Chrysler is showing the 200 realistically in its future as a rental in Daytona Beach.
