I mean EV-s still offer no advantage over an IC car in regards of how it performs in everyday transportation. They are only cheaper to run because the taxes on electricity are much lower than on petrol. If a considerable ammount of cars go electric, I’ll guarantee you this will change. And also, given the price…

Yeah, pretty much this. And the Skyactiv-X is the new, compression-ignition, but still gas wonder-engine.

GM tried it with the Opel Zafira OPC and it was a faliure. Sure, 240 hp, and 7,8 sec 0-100kph doesn’t sound impressive, but mind that the average Euro-minivan today has around 10 sec 0-100 times and this thing is 15 years old.

Certainly a cool car, but I am still more of a fan of the original Bertone design. Altough my secret kink is a plain Jane Berlina, complete in early 70s italian police livery (though I really love all late 60s-early 70s Italian sedans). Yes, I know that as a child I’ve been exposed to more old Italian crime movies…

The license plate is also a fine example of the famous German humour: ein ps means one horspower. And as the first part of German plates are regional codes, the guy had to bring the car specifically to Einbeck, Lower Saxony to register.

I could care less about seat heaters because the normal heaters are adequate for me and I also have winter clothes on so the cold seat never touches my bare skin. On the other hand the heated steering wheel is the greatest invention in decades. It’s just so better than grabbing the freezing cold wheel or driving in…

And auto-only in its initial years. Sales were slow though until Chevy shoehorned in a small-block V8. The rest is history...

A V8 destroying electric Mustang coupe or convertible would be cool. An ugly fat hatchback named Mustang is not.

Most of the Novas were just bread-and-butter commuter cars, just like this car. The SS-s are the most remembered but they were the exception to the norm.

They look fun, but they are trash. Shitty suspension, unrefined engines and cost cuts all around. You can't even roll down the rear windows, they are fixed.

This, but on Alfa's RWD Giulia-Stelvio platform.

Trabant owner here: you won’t have problems with torque steer, if your engine produces about zero torque.

Two door sedans exist and they aren’t even a new idea. They usually have a B-pillar and/or more formal rooflines compared to their coupe counterparts.

As far as I know, you can display a swastika or other nazi symbols when it’s for historic, educational or artistic reasons. Btw for me, someone, whose family was opressed and some family members were killed by communists, it’s pretty distasteful that this law doesn’t apply for communist symbols.

It’s a pretty great article considering that you never had the luck to experience these cars in real life but there are some things that has to be corrected.

I think one is the choke and the other is the strater. Like in old Fiat 500s and 126s.

It’s more of a ”cultural” thing. It depends on what you’re used to. I’m European and I consider anything over 2.0-2.5 liters big. Keep in mind, the biggest engines offered for big family sedans (equivalents of US midsizers) here are between 1.6 and 2.0 liters.

That one is a ZIM, a Soviet made car.

I agree with most of you say, but the last sentence. Ladas were pretty mich the best (or more likely least awful) cars you could buy. Skoda by the 70s was a huge step down (earlier cars were ok). Smaller, less powerful, less realible with a notorious tendency to overheat. The base model 105 didn’t even have roll down…
