I once bought a W126 500SE for a Finnish friend (who I met through Jalopnik/Oppositelock). Upon coming home, I found it had a slight fuel leak that the seller did not disclose, so I took it to a friends garage, and we made a plan to fix it. However, as we did not have time to source a new fuel hose, we made plans to…

I’d say the Testarossa in some of Kavinsky’s videos, and this one also features a Mustang II police car

It looks like you’re missing Mirjam Pol:

I think you are right. I’ve heard the Fiat Punto (to name a very long running car) dropped from 5 stars to 3 stars over its lifetime. The final step from 4 to 3 was due to the lack of gizmos like auto emergency braking.

As always, great shots in there!

My very 00s/10s Twingo has some side stripes, or boomerangs as Renault call them. I fully agree: Bring back side stripes!

Renault Twingo fact of the day: Twingo is a portmanteau of the dances Twist, Swing and Tango. (Although you could leave out Swing, and end up with the same name, Renault emphasises it’s a portmanteau of the 3)

I’m not really a sticker person, but I like some stickers as mementos to events attended with that car. That’s why I have a sticker from the 2017 Europpomeet, to remind me of when I took the Twingo on Spa and the Nürburgring:

Interesting! The goal to design cars to fit through a door sounds very French too, haha

Oh wow, wasn’t expecting it would be something American! Looks very post-war European.

This is the kind of content we need!

That sounds like a great recipe! They could have a Miata/124 competitor with the Spitfire, and a sportier version of the Z4 with a TR9 (Successor to the TR7/8).

As far as I know, BMW kept the rights to the Triumph name, while selling of the other Rover brands (except Mini).

STOP lights are pretty common on French cars. My Renault Twingo has one too, which can come on for a multitude of reasons, more clearly indicated by the other light that will come on together with it. I haven’t checked my dad’s 308 or brother’s 208 if they have one too, but the digital interface in those might have…

I’m doubting if it even has a Porsche badge on it. A lot of the time these raid truck builders just take a design they like/are sponsored to use, and use the lights and stuff of it without being allied to the brand (sometimes they are sponsored by a dealer of the brand, but that isn’t even always the case).

Wow, those are some stellar pictures! (Pun not intended)

I think you might be right, the US-spec i-MiEV seems like a redundant car, even when selling it next to the current Leaf, let alone next to the gen 2 Leaf.

I see what you did there! Haha

When looking at the ownership data of the previous gen of Twingo in the Netherlands, I find that about 63% of the (legal) owners is female, which I expect to be higher in real life, as I almost exclusively see women driving in Twingos. So I guess they are targeting their main market with this ad, and while it might be…
