You forgot to answer WHY IS THE FRONT END SO UGLY!?

Seriously, it’s like they forgot to finish the front grille and just said fuck it, why is it just an open random space full of nothing?

This Clio is like the Fourth Republic: unstable, pieced together out of bits, ambitious, initially successful, and unmistakably French. And like the Fourth Republic, it will fail because of cross-border pressures.

I don’t think car shows count.

This guy owns a Porsche specialty shop, and I want to say its a legit RS America. 

Also street parked just up the road from the LM002.

Couldn’t edit my last, so here’s this little guy. Street parked, usually.

Mine. SH-AWD 6-speed manual. As far as I have been able to research, the only one on Cape Cod.

This Consulier GTP (photo from owner’s Instagram). Gets driven quite a lot; I see it all the time.

Totally agree. I remember upgrading from my 3GS and it was night and day. Now it’s about minor bumping up a few features. Had to use my 3GS last year and it really still wasn’t the end of the world for basic task. The excitement is gone but I think that is good. With the prices we pay I rather get 3+ years out of a…

Someone else said it much better than I.

The only counterpoint worth saying, then, is simple and vulgar: Richard Petty, go fuck yourself.

We have 4 kids (7, 5, 3 , 1) and have only had a suburban (5.3 L) and now an escalade ESV (6.2L, same platform as suburban/yukon). With captains chairs in the second row, we put the 5 and 7 year old in back since they can buckle themselves. It was tough when they were younger, but my wife will never drive anything…

David, I love you, but you obviously have not had any experience with kids. There’s no fucking way in hell that 4 kids with car seats will work in a Mazda 5. Three kids with car seats barely works in my Grand Caravan.
