I am the one wanting cheap petrol and supercharged Hemis. They’d been fun for a while.

I don’t know if it’ll be any good, but more than 35 grand for a 118bhp city car is way, way too expensive.

Would you consider the 308 or Urraco supercars? Because the 488 and Huracan are their descendants. The only difference is that progress has made them blindingly fast.

You were completely right... until you mentioned Fiat. They are widely acknowledged to have one of the worse steering feels on the market.

You could even argue that a 911 Turbo S is just a mega fast (and mega expensive) sportscar.

This car deserves a sale. But there are many other competent sportscars for similar or lower prices, many from mass manufacturers, which are less rough around the edges.

The “concessions” include division / part-company spin-offs or sales to avoid market share concentration in certain segments.

We had then as work vans in my previous job. They work quite well.

Kia/Hyundai are serious players now. In Europe they outsell Toyota.

They didn’t die, they just sold then to the French.

I am not familiar with the US lineup, but the CUV/SUV are a bit caricaturesque aren’t they?

In my opinion Mazda’s are fine. Perhaps the previous gen cars were slightly better in some cases, but fine anyway.

The XC40 is the discordant note in a lineup of otherwise agreeable cars.

Porsche and Aston Martin are hardly affordable...

Triumph GT6 springs to mind as an example (hardtop version of the Spitfire).

Of course, no problem at all.

I’d like to have a proper hardtop coupe MX-5.

Americans should be happy that they get the choice.

Volkswagen doesn’t offer a front license plate holder from the factory? All EDM cars come with one.

True, they are usually wider and shorter.
