I guess we got Australian PCH's from here until next year then.

Perfect Car? That will have to be a W12 VW Phaeton! Even Clarkson agrees on that one.

Yeah, not to excoted for Mel B. Feels low rent. They should've gone whole hog and had Jay leno. And WTF? with the Kia Rio?? They should've chosen a Chevy Aveo, or the ugly-ass Ford Focus 2-door.

@alan505: Blown Head Gasket: You need a new one every 500 miles if you drive one of these bitches.

@Mad_Science: COTD!

I'm going to get pelted, tarred, feathered and run out of town, but I say the best 2+2 is the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4

@thatguy01: 500 miles as the average life of a Renault Head Gasket... sounds about right. The one I had ('84 Alliance) ran more miles in the tow-truck than in actual driving.

Any Renaults made from 81-87 just bring Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and very bad and painful flashbacks to me. If you owned one of those in the US you had to be either insane or stupid. (I was both)

I'm dissapointed the Phaeton didn't make the lineup in the year 2028.

Damn this weak economy. I want to go to Pebble Beach, but no $$$... Murilee, planning a visit down Pebble Beach? Maybe we can have a $1 Million DOTS edition if you take pics of the parking lot.

The Cressida wins, cause at that price, it makes a prime candidate for a LeMons entry. Plus it could go the distance once properly fixed to actually not die mid-race.

The Goggo FTW! Seriously, you will never find parts for this one anywhere in the planet and at the end you still have a crappy sub-compact that looks like one of those funky Shriner cars.

Well, I've seen the future of the American Automobile Industry, and it looks a lot like Italy (minus Fiat) Basically, in the next 25 years, Americans will lead the world in muscle car production only. GM brand will become 'Corvette', Ford will become 'Mustang' and Chrysler might survive under 'Challenger/Hemi/Viper'…

The Renault FTW! It will never, ever work. Even 1984 Alliances cannot be trusted for a proper, functioning car. Why is the Bond Equipe here at all??? The car runs and looks decent, so it is between the Alfa and the Renault.

So the Bugatti Veyron hasn't done the 'ring yet? Really? I would think it could do between 7:30-7:25 with the proper driver there.

@cassiusklee: Thanks. seriously my mind was reeling.

How the hell a VW/Audi/Porsche engine made it to an AMC?!? Was this an OEM option? A retrofit from a PCH gone unhinged? What The Fuck?

At 14 gallons capacity that thing would pay itself in NorCal after only two 'borrowings' (i.e. felony thefts) Hmmm. Maybe I need to start attending 49ers games with this little buddy after all.

OK, so far it's a toss-uo, it could be great, or suck very much but you gotta keep in mind, as Awesome as Top Gear is, is very eurocentric. I haven't seen Jezza and the gang do something like come to 'LeMons' (which would be great) just because it is in the USA. Or I don't remember the TG gang go to a 'Concourse…

@SkyKing: Amen! My 1984 Renault Alliance Traumatized me. On one year of ownership it went thru 3 head gaskets, 2 thermostats, and no one in Memphis knew how to fix it. (not even the Eagle-Chrysler dealer) My mechanic had to call his dad in Lebanon to get tips on how to fix it. It once took me 6 hours for a 30 mile…
