While it made it into The Cannonball Run, Lamborghini came up with their own version, seen at the top.

Short, sweet, and it's got a nice ring to it.

If this doesn't make the list, I'll be very disappointed.

I love that line. Love that film in general.

A few of those are dangerous as well, for following traffic. At certain times of day those things are blinding with how the sun will be reflected into your eyes.

Now, I know what you're gonna say next. "But P.G.! Crockett and Tubbs rolled in a Daytona and then a Testarossa, not a stupid Mondial!" Well guess what I KNOW THAT. And I don't appreciate you questioning my knowledge of Miami Vice one bit, thank you very much.

Thanks for including "almost" for those of us who hate the 6 series. heh Although, I agree, there are much better/cheaper ways he could have handled this.

Oh, I know, I just never liked the 6 series. Plus if he was going to have to fix it anyways, why smash it in the first place? Almost seems like a very expensive form of performance art.

The definition of insanity is...

My cat, Olivia, was supposedly found this way supposedly, but without the fire dept having to get involved. Lucky kitties.

I'm hoping we can do some minor updates this year. Tires and wheels and then new CV axles. Maybe a sway bar too. Meanwhile, I'm trying to re-seal everything on my Miata. I'm getting close. Hopefully by next weekend it will shift like new and the gasoline and oil smells will be gone.

Art history bro fist.

True, but that's a VR6. I have an '07 Rabbit with the inline 5 cylinder and it only needs regular. Also, I envy your R32. That's a nice car. My wife wanted the MkV GTI but we couldn't really afford it, so we went Rabbit. It's still pretty fun though. Good around town torque.

But but... you could have so much more fun in a Golf. This thing is weak sauce on an ugly sandwich. As for the gas, you could be right. I haven't really been paying attention to what these are powered by, but it looks like a 3cylinder and a 4. You wouldn't think they'd need premium, unless those engines are force…

This all sounds like a cop out for the bigger problem with the newest 2. The Toyota Prius V, Mazda 5 or the Ford C-Max are particularly big sellers in this market, but they do have a niche. They also have an extremely utilitarian image, something BMW probably doesn't think it's ready for.

Yeah, I didn't think about that. Fair enough.

This stretches the term 'badge engineering' a bit into something closer to 'platform engineering.' GM paid Lotus to develop their Mk1 Elise into a sports car for their Opel and Vauxhall brands, money which let Lotus develop the Mk2 Elise. The Lotus/Opel pair have different engines, body panels, and wheels, but are…

The good part is that we Americans got one of the best-looking, best-driving sedans on the market when Honda rebadged the Euro Accord as the Acura TSX (not unlike the old Nissan Primera/Infiniti G20 twins). The bad part is that it was the best Acura on sale.

They've worked together since the '70s so it kind of makes sense that they would buy them. Italdesign penned the original Golf among other models.

They don't exactly open quickly and for the first half of the swing open, they're more swinging up rather than out. Gullwings typically have to move pretty slow or they'll wear very quickly.
