Looks like Subaru's taken a cue from VW. Let's forget distinctive and just make it inoffensive.

Yes, they do, but they only make them for their kei cars. Everything large, I think is specifically designed for AWD.

In my urban moonscape, it's usually these 3 cars:

Don't miss out! Remember, the $7,500 rebate is only good on the first 200,000 Volts that GM sells. So get on over to your Chevy dealer by 2061 to get your deal on the best range-extended electric vehicle on the market!

"Porsche" and "entry-level sports car" are antonyms.

100% agreed. I remember in the mid-1990s a black 5-speed 240SX selling for less than $14K new. That's entry-level. When the S2000 launched a few years later, it was a solid $28K+, and dealers drove it up from there. Not entry level.

Lancia was ballsy, period, from Vincenzo Lancia's days racing the Targa Florio in death traps in the 1920s, up to the death of the factory rally team in the early 1990s.

GLH-S gets my vote. All Jalops must know.

I'm seconding this choice. This was the car that brought Chevy to the big time and forced Ford to change its way of doing business. A few of the late '50s Chevys could also qualify, as they set up Chevy for a long run at #1 in sales. But no single model made quite the impact of the Capitol.

Knew this was COTD material as soon as I saw it. You've already earned The End of History so I can add nothing. Well done.

True that. And Peter Gilbert logged 1 million on his turbocharged 900 SPG. No engine re-build.

Yeah, totally, Ford had Fusion plus the Escape hybrid, which is something of a home run inasmuch as it got accepted by some NYC cabbies, which is no small feat.

The Volt is a great engineering feat, but it's afflicted by:

Unpossible. Before Netscape I literally knew nothing.

Oh yeah, totally. It fits right in with the character of the car. It would trap you in its web and suck you dry.

Maserati V4. To a Gemini, the most beautiful.

Oooo... pretty. 8CTF?

Well said. The Stelvio was well-known enough, at least in Europe, to have prompted a Bugatti Type 57 Gangloff coachwork to be named after it.

COTD.

The latter. Although, both redesigns for the MR-2 were kind of disappointing as well. I wasn't even that sad when it went away.
