That’s a very Euro looking rear 3/4. I would expect to see plenty with Opel/Vauxhall badging over here too...

Those (the 3cylinder Fiesta springs to mind) were lean burn petrol, which produces higher NOx emissions, and they also suffered the usual 2stroke problem of particulate emissions clogging the catalytic converters. I think diesel cats and particulate filters have developed sufficiently for this to be tried again.

Yup, totally my second impression, too.

Did we have the Phat One? The Pool, the Loop the Loup? The Bro A?

Best manual I've seen since my old Tamiya, both obviously from the same school of Infogram design…

It's one of the Greenland Polos. Used by the Us military on a base in Greenland, then brought back to the US and Imported. Here's a much cooler example:[forums.vwvortex.com]

Hmm, this or a Re-re Bruiser?

Oh HAI!

That DMC based thingy Will.I.Am was respoinsible for, no?

Its real value is as a halo car. We'll see technical features and design cues trickle down to less exotic models. I'd imagine the FT86 will have lots of little details that started off in the LFA.

There'll be plenty of opportunity to try the real Black Stuff later, he's heading to the Merrion Hotel tonight, and Doheny & Nesbitts is only around the corner!

BMW E30 318is. Wanted one for ages, did loads of research, brought a friend of a friend with me to look at one, and it sucked. I'd forgotten how badly they had aged, hated the ride, and the cluthc was on its way out.

Lazy VW. This is a 10 year old concept with a lick of paint.

I prefer the front end treatement on this, it's a lot more aggressive, despite random DRLs. Rear on the MK1 was a lot cleaner. None of which is particularly important, as the aftermarket for this car is probably going to be huge.
