Good points.

It will have to be a Fiat platform. That's what Alfa currently uses for smaller cars, it's what Fiat previously used for larger cars before pulling out of the market, and what are the other options? They're hardly going to use a Jeep platform to build a 3-series rival. Alfa can't afford to build a new platform from…

Does anyone - who doesn't watch Russian media - actually believe this stuff?

Yet another sockpuppet supporting Putin. Yawn. Are you getting paid for this, or do you genuinely believe in the cause?

How could anybody would come to that conclusion, when new countries were obviously formed on Ottoman territory? Not colonies of existing countries. Neither Syria nor Bulgaria nor Israel nor Greece are fiefs of some British or Austro-Hungarian empire; they are all independent countries.

But Crimea, and eastern Ukraine,…

The problem with resorting to historical claims is that most parts of the world have been controlled by multiple powers over the years; you can't just pick a random one.

Crimea was controlled by the Ottoman empire much longer than it was controlled by the precursors of today's Russia; surely it rightly belongs to…

Punctuation is a matter of LIFE AND DEATH!

Lotus is based on the other side of the Atlantic, where it's perfectly normal to call that thing a truck, and nobody would call it a semi-trailer.

Two countries, divided by a common language.

Always relevant.

Relative to the workload, F1 teams often seem to have very shiny new trucks - it's all part of the image.

Don't forget the spare half-shafts and axles! Buy four or five, just to be on the safe side.

There are two things you can do after buying this:

But we already have a much larger section of the car market which is full of "posers" in this sense; folk who buy a stock Discovery (or Jeep or whatever) even though they will never tackle terrain more challenging than a 5 inch kerb.

Land Rover are already neck-deep in this problem, if you see it as a problem (they…

It's actually a Citroën C4 coupe giving birth to a Nemo/Bipper.

Wait, what?

Not sure how to design a better car? Uncertain how to satisfy customers? Desperate to "find your own lane" without actually making any difficult decisions for yourself? The solution is easy! Let's just follow last year's buzzwords and fashions!
* Hybrid;
* Crossover;
* Not really sure what to do with the interior, just…

It's a good idea. Not totally new, but it's a good idea and it's a shame it doesn't get more traction.

I usually keep a bike in the back of my daily driver - it's handy for short trips, especially when parking or traffic are tough, or if I need to leave my car elsewhere for some reason.

Crack pipe.

Can you please stop making stuff up? You're just embarrassing yourself.

The speaker grilles are lovely bits of perforated metal, the wood on the dash is shaped in undulating curves and the grain flows through it like a mahogany stream where naiads cavort and pleasure one another with silken tongues. It looks to be so luxurious I feel like I'm devaluing the very concept of luxury by just…
