Indeed. I was always told that it translated as "Ahead through technology".

Is the new one real? It looks like an 'artists projection'. That's not to say it doesn't look good, mind.

...and traffic cones that you can spit to the side of the road like an emptying gunbelt.

Oh - and what about Skoda? I thought it ws some odd chicken thing for years until the truth of it being a stylised Native American was explained.

Which is droll, given that they're basically German*.

And the BMW badge isn't just the Bavarian flag, it's also a stylised spinning propellor, from their aircraft days.

It's in Wikipedia, but what the chuff was a tortoise doing on set? And even if it did exist, it's not a dizzying and uncatchable reptilian blur that we're talking about here.

I suggested the Gordon-Keeble as well. Allegedly, a tortoise wandered into the field of view of a promo shoot, and there you have it. But, I have no idea why there was a tortoise there in the first place. Also, Gordon-Keebles were basically a small volume Yank V8 engined superfast and expensive Italian coupe, but…

So we have a youth who isn't quite the driver that he needed to be/thought he was, and who left the road. Which reminds me, don't they have barrier rails there?

Thanks to Britain's continued presence in the post-colonial world, the Land Rover is probably the best known vehicle, if not strictly a car. More so than the Jeep, especially in Africa. Although these days the Landcruiser is as ubiquitous, basically due to being more reliable.

Take a look at the first two words of the article.

It never bothered Datsun when they sold the Violet.

Built by the same people as the Oldsmobile Tornado?

Your colours!

Gordon Keeble made a powerful, luxurious Facel Vega style car in the mid-60s. I always liked the tortoise badge because of the irony and/or self deprecation it suggested.

Sorry - didn't see this before I posted

If he's British, does that mean he dresses on the left?

The orange car is obviously nuzzling up to that gentleman. And it tickles.

My Westphalia camper van didn't have a grill.

Not being American, I always thought that the Corvair of any iteration was one of the prettiest volume cars that the US made. But, I'd always assumed that there was some kind of cost premium. But you're telling me that they weren't even expensive? RN notwithstanding, why weren't they everywhere?
