agreed. 9k is too much for an engine swap project, which is what i would want to do with this car.

They used to be RWD. They are still RWD, but they used to be, too.

the prices might not be 300k but they will be whatever the genx equivalent of 300k in boomerbux will be.

you’re right. i’m GenX and if i saw a ‘cuda and a corrado next to each other i wouldn’t look twice at that giant heap. it sure as hell wasn’t mopar my brother and i talked about while we cut pictures of Jordan out of our SI’s.

my guess is yes. because if this isn’t the World’s Most Insane Audi, the most insane one was also built by Russians.

well. no one ever said SAAB didn’t know its demographic. i can’t think of a single owner I’ve known that wouldn’t have seen this ad and just nodded.

Make no mistake i want this car but jeeeeeezum 20k? He’s out of his mind if he thinks he’s going to get his money back on this project. If he wants a return on this car, the guy needs to settle for the enjoyment of driving it for a couple of years. There’s plenty of room on the odometer. Maybe this will show up on…

i feel like a tool for buying into the idea that some cars are girly, but with this shape and this paint and this targa top, this car becomes something i’d actually drive. where the beetle redesign failed, this one succeeds.

I just don’t like that ribbed hood. The Duck’s Ass side profile i can live with.

I can tell you why I’d never buy one. My kids are disgusting and filthy animals. I wouldn’t let them touch a luxury minivan, let alone ride in one.

Maybe it shouldn’t be, but safety IS a luxury. Look at any third-world car. I’ll grant that safety doesn’t equate to luxurious comfort. I don’t consider my Volvo a luxury car, but I do think it’s a “very nice” car. And there’s definitely something very comforting about how safe I feel driving it. People that drive…

I’m with you man. For 4-5k I’d fly up to Boston to see my relatives, and have them drop me off at this guy’s house and I’d drive this thing back home to Texas. I’d buy it just so I could laugh with my friends and say “wait you gotta check out these seats,” then i’d give it to my 16 year old daughter just to see her…

i have some kind of psychological aversion to SUVs. I would buy a v60 cross country if i hadn’t bought an s60 last year, but i would never consider an xc70. Volvo sure wouldn’t make money for the Chinese by pandering to people like me, but I exist and technically that wouldn’t be cannibalization.

This is the Ultimate GLHS Buyer’s Guide. SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i dunno. piece of eights. pieces of eight. pieces of shit.

This makes you look rich if your wife is driving it. If you are driving it, it makes you look like you have fallen on hard times and have to drive your wife’s car.

i was on the fence until i saw the cruise control and factory analogue EQ. Also, it’s not very difficult or expensive to get around 210hp out of that engine.

Your Ultimate Buyer’s Guide really should have stated that if you want the I-ACTIVSENSE Package, you have to step up to the Grand Touring trim level. In fact now that this tech is trickling down, I’d like to see an article on the cheapest new cars that offer adaptive cruise, which of those still manages to be fun to…

link to the 510?

Agreed. Plus I give it points for not having a shitted interior. The gear shift knob is the only thing I'd change.
