Because everybody is concerned what others think of them

Good lord it's horrible. Reminds me of the Tata Nano. The Stephenson Mini wasn't innovative but at least it looked great and handled well.

Bentley Backgammon. A snip at £2,950

Slacks with turn ups! Tank top! Good god the man dresses like a weirdo

It's hard to change brand perception, and Europeans think of Chevys as muscle cars and land yachts. Instead, they got rebadged Korean shitboxes. It's as if BMW came over to the US for the first time in 2005 and started selling Dacias.

From an outsiders (i.e. a Brit)'s point of view the Corvette is everything that's right about modern muscle cars whilst the Mustang's blandified lines and recent models show it is sliding into normal other car territory.

Sienna Bloody Miller? Errr no thanks

All's fair in love and war!

The 340bhp F-Type V6 costs £50k. The Mustang will not be far off and has similar power

This might be cheating but it's got to be the Nardo Ring, which is 7.8 miles long!

Modern red cars are super hard to photograph indoors. They fade to salmon pink. This Astra is deep red but looks washed out in my photos

Does it look as good as this?

Yes. My first bike was a Yamaha Fazer 600. Then a FZ6, then R1 (crashed it), then Bandit 1200. The ST has the best balance. It's like the BRZ of bikes

Neutral: Is GM Doing The Right Thing? Did they give up too soon, or is Opel the way to go?

Brand Hatch

Now playing

Three cylinder car engines sound a bit rubbish generally. For decent triple noise you need to look to motorcycles.

I see/hear one regularly as I live near Porsche GB HQ. Makes a decking awesome noise - like an 80s F1 car

"Angel trumpets." Blissfully making the top ten superlatives of all time.

Nope it's not too bad at all

Despite fairly rudimentary underpinnings, even the lightest Mustang tips the scales at more than 3,300 lbs. That's a lot for a sporty 2+2 coupe. Expect the 2015 Mustang to be a bit lighter, putting it closer to 3,000 lbs.
