That's because that is a picture of a bad quality 8C toy car.

Is that an helicopter with the Martini livery? That is a nice choppa'

Has a Jalop actually bought a car featured here? We've seen so many amazing cars over the years. That's one of the reason I would like to live a few years in the states. Amazing cars for next to nothing, cheap to insure and to run.

The whole point of the P1 is to go fast, nothing else, nothing more. It isn't supposed to be pretty, it isn't supposed to sound nice, simply go fast around a racetrack. If you want to have fun, just buy the 458 Speciale. If you want the fastest *hybrid* supercar buy the P1. That's the reason jezza loves the P1 and…

That is right. Just stop buying huge SUV's or rediscover the medium sized trucks like the Hilux.

There's the environmental factor, with more people deciding to drive when they don't need and buying cars that are less efficient than alternatives — although because new SUVS and trucks are so much more efficient than their predecessors that the impact will be minimized.

Where I come form, Paraguay, we have *THE* rally of the year called Rally del Chaco. They still use old corollas, old celicas and also more modern Evo's, Fabias, subarus and others. It is amazing to see, and really in a remote part of the world.

They still sell 207 and Clio's in France, older cheaper version called 207+ and Clio Campus.

Yes. For example in China, Audi sells "L" version of their cars. They are longer, for more leg room in the back. This is mainly due to cultural differences. In latin america the lowcost brand of Renault called Dacia are actually Renault models. In the US, VW sells cheapo version of the Passat and others. Latin Ameriga…

Depends on the engine. The higher octane fuels are needed for certain, usually high-end, engines in order to avoid engine knocking. It will not make you go faster, or more fuel efficient. If the manual doesn't specify it, don't need it. For other kinds of more expensive fuels, those "additivated", IMHO are BS.

No, in France the car insurers have around 30% margin and it is enforced by the government. So, in Europe at least, it is not a scam. Smartphone insurance in the other hand...

So, big tanks and beefy suspensions. The final part of the puzzle is prestige, plain and simple. BMW and Audi might have hit Mercedes sales hard in the last decade or so in the Western countries, but in less developed parts of the world, Mercedes is still the ultimate representation of luxury and the fact that you've…

Of course most Benzes you see on the street are W123s or W124s. Then again, everything else from buses to trucks and vans are also wearing the three-pointed star, and when an Albanian makes it big, you can bet on him buying a new Mercedes straight after cashing in. So brand new AMGs, S-Classes and M-Classes are just…

"A state of great comfort or elegance, especially when involving great expense." That means using high-quality materials, the styling, the feeling you get when you enter the car. Every japanese car has "a list of standard appointments that bests the AMG GT's highest offering." but it doesn't make them luxury cars. The…

Because the GT is a luxury car, the Z06 is not.

Bloomberg is also saying that the Mercedes-AMG GT's European base price (for the 456 horsepower version) is close 100,000 Euros. In U.S. American Freedom Dollars that's $129,000, but let's look at comparable cars. The Jaguar F-Type R's European base price also happens to be 103,700 Euros. Yet, the Jag costs $99,000 in…

There aren't independent at all. They share motors, platforms and other stuff with the other brands like Maserati.

Released just so Aston could get their fleet fuel efficiency numbers lower, the Cygnet was just a $51k version of a Toyota iQ. It should come as no surprise that they only managed to sell 150.

The Baja is just a slightly less useful version of an Outback wagon with its small bed and small interior pass through. The early/mid 2000s were strange times.

A few years ago was even worse than in the US. For example, in 2002 you could get a 2001 or a 2002 car depending on the manufacturing date being before or after July of the current year.
