Won’t stop it from being kept in rich dudes’ air conditioned garages.

For the the GT3 program to get the car homologated. Methinks that the GT3 racecar had enough differences that it needed a homologation special just to get it through the stewards, and then Ford decided to just give it a bit more extra so they could sell better to collectors.

It’s a homologation special, it’ll go where most other homologation specials go, in some rich dudes airconditioned garage.

The cars destroyed the tracks while scattering wine, lemonade and other goods along the tunnel.

This. The biggest threat is Mrs. Hammen in first class throwing a panic attack and causing everyone, including the doctor, the nun, the hare krishna guy, and a couple of men with boxing gloves to have to stand up to try to calm her down.

He had a lot of dedication to give.

I’m optimistic on it being closer to the book than the movie was just based on the fact that O’Malley himself is showrunner and writer.

not obsessed with chasing numbers.

I mean, if it actually makes it into production, it’ll likely just be the new HiLux. That badge just has too much cachet for Toyota to drop it.

it is a boat until it reaches 35 ft

Honestly, I’d probably go newer and smaller for the base car. Maybe the Yaris WRC or Polo R WRC

Thought that it was weird that Mitsu would stop selling it as they’re everywhere here, then I realized that the news was about the US market.

And here I thought the answer would simply be “Pirelli.”

Sony bought them in 1993.

What I don’t get is that, they already have the regulation mandated taillights on the bumpers anyway, why not mount the ones on the hatch higher, and then use some extra clear plastic to extend it over the bit where the strut would be?

First, they beat them at Le Mans, then they sued Ferrari to stop them from using the F150 name, now they’re showing copying their trick of spontaneous self-immolation. Thus Ford continues to clown on Ferrari.

I mean, they don’t seem to be looking for snacks. This is more like a bunch of kids TPing a neighbor’s yard.

I’m guessing that the new 4Runner is going to lean more into being a “Tacoma but SUV,” in the same way the Fortuner is a “Hilux but SUV” in markets outside the US.

No, the new Land Cruiser (or Land Cruiser Prado elsewhere) is the GX, the 4Runner was originally the Hilux Surf, but that changed in the mid 2000s. When the rest of the world got the seventh gen (AN10/20/30) Hilux, we also got a new SUV based on it, the Fortuner. The 4Runner then became a North America-exclusive model…

If it’s any consolation, the current-gen Montero Sport comes with the same Aisin-Warner 8-speed auto as the 300 series Land Cruisers.
