My point probably makes less sense in the US, but in Europe cars like Golfs and 205s really were mainstream middle class family cars. Hot hatches were the performance variants of them. The 500 is more of a city car. It is meant as a runabout for a single person.

They weren't actually politically motivated. Their ire was motivated by the owner's lame choice of a turbocharged car when a naturally aspirated option exists and Porsche's lame insistence on automatic transmissions.
There are more Murican brand cars in this video than I see in a week in coastal San Diego.
If she can get the first video excluded as evidence, I can't imagine a jury convicting her of making advances at a man.
The marbles creating single racing lines occurred during the last slick tire war of 1997, as it does in any racing series with slicks and multiple suppliers. The degradation issue is also an insult to racing fans' intelligence, but any soft compound slicks will produce marbles as they slough off rubber. A similar…
That's not the case with F1 bringing back slick tires. Say what you will about their built-in failure rates, but putting more of an emphasis on mechanical grip has certainly livened up the track. I've heard laments about the demise of the 3.0-liter V10 cars, as they were blindingly quick, but it's easy to forget that…
Things will continue to get worse until people stop allowing the government to get involved in anything. It doesn't matter which bunch of cock-garglers are in charge, the less of their influence, the better. California is totalitarian from top to bottom, but that didn't prevent them from using a CoveredCalifornia…
He had a 16 week sentence suspended for 12 months last August. My calendar says he should be serving the time for that crime now. Hopefully, he'll kill a judge as his next act of distress.
I thought the creep that paid seven figures for a 911 that belonged to Steve McQueen was warped, but that is dark.
I feel like I've seen it before.
Thanks! I think you just suggested I'm an attentive and conscientious driver!
"No, I'm saying with bad tires mine was still utterly awesome. Went up a hill everyone else was sliding down fishtailing at 3500 rpm 5 mph the whole way."
Almost ten years ago, my then-gf had a Mini Cooper. I've had great fun playing rally driver in low powered, light, FWD cars in the snow, but the lack of ground clearance of the Mini Cooper made it quite useless on un-plowed roads. It was the only car I ever saw get high centered on 6 inches of snow.
Turbos aid in winter driving? Since you are talking about the second generation turbo gasoline cars that had low compression ratios and small displacements that caused non-existent low rpm torque and non-linear boost, I suppose it might be argued that they were easy to manage when there was little traction. That…
Steyr-Puch built thousands of them in Austria from 1991-2007. They also have built all the G-series Mercedes-Benz SUVs, meaning they had joint ventures with both participants in the Daimler-Chrysler fiasco years before the fact.
The 88 used an ingenious system of having a twin chassis, one inside the other. The inner chassis would hold the cockpit and would be independently sprung from the outer one, which was designed to take the pressures of the ground effects. The outer chassis did not have discernible wings, and was in effect one huge…
BMW has been building the exact same car for 51 years and everyone seems surprised about it.
As the reliability index posted by Sportwagons, haulln' stuff shows, it is no more true now than it was back then.
Obama did it?
