Simple. Legislate a $7,500 tax credit on the purchase.

@brandegee:

A Spirit of Ecstasy party you say?

I never before noticed this lip at the top edge of the louvers. An additional downforce provider, perhaps?

I was wondering how the researchers at Vostok stayed sane. Now I know.

So basically a larger displacement LF1 with the E85 capability of the LFW. Moving along...

Um, the Honda Element is currently available as a 2011 model.

The Dobbertin's HydroCar is unique in the natural world in that its droppings are nearly half the size of its body. This curiosity reflects one of the highest-known metabolism rates in the animal kingdom.

@Quattro-luvr: Control freaks need not apply.

@tonyola: On second thought, I would love to see Bugatti bring back this bodystyle. Just for kicks. I think only M-B is still willing to crank out a few landaulets.

@tonyola: If Lambos went racing, perhaps. Maybe Porsche?

@Adam Spano: Pardon for propagating web rumor, then. I kept reading about lag on this motor and felt it couldn't possibly be as slow to spool up as my old TD04 H-engine.

A prancing lion, eh? Is this shopowner operating with a valid artistic license?

@brandegee:

"Yes. Mmhmm, yes, I'm sure. The usual service on the suspension. I know, I know, engine out and all that. No. No, I'm good for it this time. Yes, thank you, I've had a very good year."

Aren't all Corvette concepts supposed to be mid-engine? I thought that was a rule.

@tonyola: I would much prefer to see the Bugattis that really mattered. The light, small, exquisitely crafted race-ready sports cars that helped move the later cars into the hands of the rich.

Well, that and the average Caddy buyer doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand the concept of turbo lag.

Ah, a noble effort by Ahmadinejad to end diesel apartheid.

Not as bad as an Astro, but not great either. Most of the early vans had terrible crash performance. The Previa wasn't the worst but the 1991 had no airbag and no knee bolsters.
