Obviously, it needs to go in some pretty little Italian thing which just needs a little more power:

$15000 is overpriced. I just bought a 2003 S320 CDI, for £1900. That's $2960 "dollars", at today's exchange rate.

Aston Martin needs collaboration and cooperation if it is to survive.

It's the Sunday Express; it's not exactly Janes.

Most modern cars have something separate; an oil pressure warning light, should oil pressure get dangerously low, no?

I doubt that consistency is as important as:

In a slightly different form of "rally" - there have been a few Trabants on overland events like the Budapest-Bamako rally. I took this photo in the middle of nowhere in Mauritania:

Interestingly, it has the same part count and the same elbow-room as a real Caterham Super Seven.

Why must road improvements be funded out of a volatile hypothecated tax? Why not fund it like most other government spending, out of the one big central pot?

The C32 is pretty cool in its own right - there were few obvious external clues, you could just debadge it and have a perfect sleeper - but unfortunately they suffered from the same niggling problems as their W203 kin, including rust.

If only we had "Reliability" and "Rustproofing" and "Low production costs" covered.

Race tracks are made to go as fast as possible on, which demands a consistent, predictable surface — That means they are generally flat, and always so on the racing line.

So Lexus should give up on beating the Germans on volume, as this executive suggests. They just shouldn't lose sight of beating them on quality.

At least a Fiat 500 (and a 2CV) still have some charisma. People love those cars.

A Renault 11 doesn't even have that.

That's not a car; it's a crime against nature.

Body fully tensioned skin Canadian bison! Shop Scandinavian mink, ceiling Siberian mink, sable Barguzinsky back sofa.

A Rolls-Royce landaulette isn't weird enough? How about an extra-tall landaulette which was custom-built to allow a very tall gentleman to wear a top hat whilst driving? (Or being driven). You never knew you needed that feature until now. Also, the body was originally built on a Daimler chassis/transmission, then

Yes, you have a good point, but: In exterior design terms, I think the W203 was little more than a facelifted front end for the W202, and they seem to have tried really hard to include some W220 design cues in that front end. Including replacing the single rectangular headlight package with the two-fried-eggs.

The C-class has always mimicked the S-class!

How soon can they build the Concept Estate?
