Ah, there it is. But the emphasis is on high-tensile-strength steel. Nothing about a new engine. If they incorporate the whole "suite" of SkyActiv tech, then great.

No discussion of fuel economy? The rumored 1.3 turbo? The Miata isn't terrible, but with 28mpg highway on premium fuel, it could do a lot better for its 167 horses. A new 911 gets better highway miles. If Mazda isn't able to somehow get some SkyActiv tech in the Miata, or refine a small turbo engine, they could run…

I agree with all of this, except #3. BMW only sold about 13,000 Z4 coupes, and each one was about $4-5K *more* over base price than a similar Z4 convertible. Mazda can't get away with a premium like that, especially when they already have a convertible hardtop that gets the attention of cold weather drivers. Besides,…

Good choice, even with the steep premium. Hyundai's getting a decent amount of power out of a 1.6, but the car's way too heavy for it to be enjoyable. And forget about getting 36 mpg if you have to flog it all day just to get around.

I haven't seen mentioned the ultimate conjectured cause for the track failure: downforce. 4,500 pounds per car probably overwhelmed whatever adhesive they tried.

If only I could combine a Volvo C30's looks with this car's pricing.

I pretty much figured the only thing Pryor could say about the main reason for having Jag in the storyline is "Ugg..."

The lead character went to the big city to help the good guys solve a crime and made a splash like in Crocodile Dundee.

Anchor is probably the easiest Porter to drink. It's got balance and unlike most Porters is easy on the bitterness. Far better than the Steam. Why Italy though? It's everywhere on the West Coast of the U.S.

And the coolest by far is the Pierre Cardin Javelin.

You could also equip it with electronic AWD. No low-range, but then again the van had little ground clearance so it was pointless for rugged off-roading. I know of two Westphalia Vanagon owners who swapped for these after their Wasserboxers self-destructed.

If I could find one, definitely a Citroen BX GTi 16V. And graft in a Digit dash.

Nicely done. My 2001 9-3 is at 280 km, but years of New Jersey roads means it has an expensive transaxle repair in the near future. It has a little bit of rust, but then again it's never seen a garage.

Lol. Yes, I do! Actually, there are quite a few Snaabs here thanks to GM's late-departed attractive lease arrangements for its employees. I have even seen a few manufacturer-plate Opels around. Also, Ann Arbor is swimming in cash apparently.

This is a decent list of cars to own for a long time, but I would take lightly used 9-5 over any of them for a cross-country run. The Lexus, too, I suppose, but at that price could see myself in a Jag.

They are of their time. In the 1970s and 1980s it was simply the best car on sale. Everybody seems to know somebody who survived a horrible accident in their W123. Almost nothing was well built then, but this car was. To be honest, they were slow, the diesels are frankly noisy and smelly, they displayed typical German…

650 turbocharged rear-engine horses with no granny nannies. This car separates the men from the boys.

Ironically, it started out as a yankee lump. GM made a million of 'em before selling the tooling to blighty.

5,270 lbs? Just how many/how big are the dead hookers in the trunk?

Will Hyundai also shock us with a new Accent GT?
