What you lose in heat dissipation, you win in unsprung mass reduction.

It's not forgotten, at least in Europe. In fact it's been improved and kept up with the times. You can buy a brand new Citroën C5or C6 with Hidractiva 3+ suspension (an evolution of the original hydropneumatic).

Quite apt.

It's not forgotten. Meet the old Citroën C4:

Because SPACESHIP!

Two words: Hydrolastic suspension.

Yes, let other eejit take the depreciation blow.

Well, more like the Porsche is the Social-Democrat-turned-Green Tatra...

Yes, but the level of craftmanship of French industry in the 60s was a bit higher than that of Spanish indstry, not to say anything about the Slovenes.

As long as the only other contestants are VWs and Pontiac Azteks.

Something made by the Spanish and the Slovenes, with an engine that CAN NOT DIE, a design so rugged it can ford streams and traverse trails that Hummers just won't be able to follow, and whose only real enemy is rust.

That car took all the reliability for Peugeots in the 20th century, and then some.

Well... there isn't a popular base of suport for a democratic regime either. In fact there is only a popular base of support for a tribal semi-anarchy Somali-style.

You're right. Nevermind doesn't deserve hate. It's just overvalued, that doesn't mean it's bad.

IIRC, there were M3 SMGs (Grease Guns) made by GM and IH too.

The F-16 is also made under license in Japan by Mitsubishi.

So? When did Jalopnik become a tabloid?

The difference is the little bit called "catalyser" (sorry if I spell it wrong, English as a second language). It's not part of the engine, right, but it affects environmental performance.

Sorry, I spoke from an (admittedly shallow) Euro-centric point of view.

Good. For those who want a GTI.
