29-cent / litre (Canadian - the litres and the dollars) gas in Vancouver for a very brief period in 1998 or 1999.

The Rover 827 also begs that question.

That was actually my first thought when I saw the headline - leftover cars from an episode of Top Gear where a bunch of cars the guys bought for under 500 pounds ended up in a lake.

I have an Ioniq 5 on order. Placed the order in June of last year and was initially told “fall, 2021.” Pretty much every month since November I’ve been getting an email saying it’s delayed by another month. My excitement has dwindled quite a bit, and the delay has given me a chance to see the very negative feedback…

Yea, I think Porsche is a better long-term bet. Ferrari is in the classic ultra-luxury brand conundrum - most avenues for significant growth will cheapen the brand. They’ve already managed to annoy some of their most loyal customers by undermining the uniqueness of the latest model by releasing another latest model a…

It says in the article that the quoted prices include VAT. Generally euro countries quote prices including tax.

Large automaker announces vague plans for new EVs, in the standard at least two years from now by which we mean three or four window.

Porsche’s entire business model is people driving vehicles they don’t need and which in many cases are an inappropriate body style for the primary use. I have an irrational want for a GT3 Touring, even though I’ll probably never go near a track. Porsche is happy to have my business.

Most 911s are driven on the daily summer commute of affluent middle-aged businessmen. More suspension travel and sidewall is probably a good thing in those conditions.

There is some misinformation in your response, too, or at least speculative information.

I think this is the only 1 of 12 special edition guaranteed to make the driver look like he’s on his way to pick someone up from the airport.

Yep the Saab solution to the regular 9-3 turbo’s crazy torque steer was… even more power! Not to mention the awfulness of the vectra platform and the impact on rigidity of lopping off the hardtop. The viggen is one of those thoroughly terrible great cars.

He looks like a diet version of Ron Perlman.

I agree 100%. Most of the comments on BaT are (miraculously in this ear) civil, reasonable and well-informed. They have managed to sustain and grow a real community alongside huge growth.

I’ve actually driven one of these (around 2009, so the one I drove was almost new). The novelty wears off in about 10 minutes, since from what I can remember the clutch is too heavy and the action is clunky. It just does not suit the character of the car. I’ve also driven a similar vintage Turbo S (auto obviously,…

And Germany is also the place where carbon emissions skyrocketed because they banned nuclear and had to rely MORE on coal for grid stability. It’s what happens when we are ruled by what sounds nice rather than how things actually work.

Yes, I’m currently waiting for my Ioniq 5 to arrive, and by all accounts it’s a great car. My wife’s EV is a Taycan, and we’ve charged it away from home twice at a rapid charger and a handful of times at destination chargers (but then only because they were there and free, so why not, not because it really needed a…

I came here to say the same thing. The Model 3 is still a small, cheaply finished and blandly styled thing with a pretty horrible interior, no matter how good its battery pack may be.

I really don’t think the writers have a clue what any of this stuff means, and nor do they care. Just like they don’t care to look at charts like this one (M1 money supply) and wonder how that might impact inflation.

I think some of the writers actually think they can’t even learn about this stuff, because it will be like reading some kind of satanic text that may corrupt them.
