Never rode in a Tata Estate.

I never liked the Contessa. It was the car you bought if you were somewhat successful as a businessman. In fact, I only rode in that once or twice in all my visits to India. I preferred the Ambassador so much more.

I haven't ridden in a Padmini for ages. Last time may have been over ten years ago. At that point, I rode in a 118NE for a couple years whenever the family went to India.

But the back seat must have been excellent!

They're still selling it in India as the Maruti Esteem.

I think I lot of the W210 E-Class platform was used in some respects with regard to suspension setup, but I don't think it influenced the layout and packaging of the Chrysler 300 sedans.

I like the styling of the current one. The older one I have posted looks ugly.

Really? I like this design too.

Touché. Let's say the older 1990s Chairman instead of the new Chairman W I posted.

You forgot the Mercedes W124-based Ssangyong Chairman!

I did a Lexus IS event two weekends ago where they had people drive the IS against the A4 2.0T (non-Quattro), C350, and 335i. I was amazed how far the F30 335i's performance had fallen compared to the E90. The current F30 328i is still a car worth considering over the IS though, because the drive feel still isn't…

I just turned 22 and try not to rent cars whenever I possibly can. So I have no stories on that front.

How is Faszination on the Nurburgring with the RUF Yellowbird not on this list? It's the Gymkhana video of the 1980s. And the man is going flat out.

If you did a Lexus GS350 F-Sport vs. BMW 535i M-Sport test, I think Jalopnik readers would be astounded by the result. I find the Lexus to be better than the BMW, and that's the first for me. But the IS still has a long way to go before it's better than the 3-Series.

C&D has a good car rental Olympics article, though a Jalopnik one would be even more fun.

Since it's paved now, I imagine a lot more people will be willing to try.

I know. It's the one time budget cuts actually helped a show.

It's a pity.

I'd like to think with the same car and tires, Loeb could outqualify at least half of this year's grid at Silverstone, like Henri Toivonen at Estoril with the Delta S4.

Alright Torchinsky, you're completely and totally wrong on the BMW 5-Series stereotype. It applies to the 7-Series/S-Class/A8/XJ. For the 5, it should be this
