Long hood and a ducktailed hatch. The 6- and 7-s don't strike my fancy, but the Warming/Bangle Z4M coupe is still on my dream list along with the M5.

Packing more awesome into less weight is a good thing!

I feel like this might come back to the same sort of bean counting the manual-Charger faced, especially if they have to re-certify the Sportwagen because of the addition of AWD.

It has a lot to do with exhaust header pipe length. As a few others mentionned, the length of the header pipes organizes the sound from the engine's power pulses. If they're unequal, the pulses overlap and give that burbling, whereas if they're equally spaced out, they come out as a smooth wail.

Our favorite Russian SUV maker will make the interior out of whatever you want (provided you have the cash), including whale penis. Yes, if you're a wealthy Russian you can have an armored SUV with whale penis interior.

Huh. Well, shit. I didn't even know there had been a second iteration before this new one. Thanks!

6-speed manual

Well, you only said 351 which means it could be a Windsor or a Cleveland. So no, I don't think I missed anything that wasn't there. But then again, I don't know that much about these engines in the first place.

I swear I'm done! The Falcon is a former New Zealand V8 series car with a 410 small block.

Rattla Motorsport 2014 season recap. Underhood shots of the R34 and Falcon - R32 still sporting the 2JZ. I'm guessing it got a similar swap to what the Falcon is packing, which is definitely massive.

I'm thinking it's an older engine. This guy Curt Whittaker formerly ran a 2JZ in the same car. Quick searches turned up 418ci Windsors, so it's probably not much of a stretch to think that something less modern with big cubes was swapped in. I haven't found any other evidence of what's lurking under the hood though…

The "Autosure New Zealand" decal makes me think this is probably an Australian Ford engine.

Agreed. A German-owned, Italy-based Swedish motorcycle manufacturer is the poster child for cognitive dissonance.

They sort of did play the Italian game back when they owned Husqvarna which was based in Varese at the time.

This dealer specifically deals in JDM imports. I doubt such a small production batch from Renault would've shipped anywhere in RHD spec, but you may be right that it came straight from Europe.

There's one for sale in Toronto(ish) that was imported from Japan (I'm guessing). $55k CAD... Probably won't depreciate though.

First-gen diesel Smart Car. Ugh... I was kinda stoked to be driving such a novelty but that thing is so terribly gutless and the transmission is garbage.

Retaining VTEC, Pro-Arm single-sided swing arm and ABS brakes, the new VFR adds traction control, LED headlights, sophisticated self-cancelling turn signals and an optional shift assist system to its technological credentials.

GUMPERT!!!!

It's got this seriously cool Noble vinyl wrap.
