Put it in a Boxster, make it a targa and revive the 914/4! At last with a worthy engine even in the cheaper version.

Buyers beware: since it was supposed to be driven in Siberia, the steel used in teh Niva is not suitable for warm climates. The result is very short durability of important pieces of the chassis and of the power-train. Where I come from, its axles are notorious for giving way rather early, typically at the hubs.
Ergonomics was just a word that the designers of this car rolled their eyes at before shoving another control in an improbable place, like how the hazard light switch is exactly where you think the ignition key should go. Or how the indicator stalk is shorter and harder to reach than the high-beam switch stalk, so…
People in much elsewhere in the world don't buy the largest car just because they can afford it. Rather, they tend to buy the car that'll satisfy their needs, including their aesthetic needs. Particularly in S. America, one would see trucks because the owners actually needed a truck, be it for their line of work or…
Well, the last car I purchased didn't come with one either. In the negotiation, I settled on the dealer offer on the condition that they'd throw in a spare instead of the tire inflation kit. Done. And my IQ is not 174.
Perhaps Clint may go pick an Su50 up for a joy ride.
In the meantime...
The F22 and F35 nemesis is not any Russian fighter, but their price tags. I bet that the Su30 or Su50 cost a fraction of these over engineered, under performing, over budget failures.
With a full tank of gas.
Koenigsegg had to recall all the Ageras they sold in America because of an innocuous TPMS issue. Oh wait, did I say Ageras? I meant to say Agera, because there was only one in the whole country.
"For this Ford Motor should be thoroughly ashamed. Endorsing and promoting sodomy is of benefit to no one. This topic is disruptive to the workplace and is an assault on Christians and morality, as well as antithetical to our design and survival. Immoral sexual conduct should not be a topic for an automotive…
For the non-Italian speaking readers out there, "quattro" means four, and "porte" means door. You can probably figure out how many doors the Quattroporte has by this point.
Whatever TSA agents drive.
Current temperature: 65F. Weather conditions: sunny. Birds are chirping and Yankees are shivering. What, me worry?
The government cannot surveil anyone nor everyone without probable cause. If there's nothing to hide, the state has no business to pry. How does one say USA in Eastern German?
That's what happens when you buy a sports car at the same place where Chevies are sold.
Thanks to the Chicken Tax, we Americans rarely get to see European work trucks like these. Why, again, aren't truck beds with fold-down sides more popular in the US? Sure, they just look like a big drawer stuck on the back, but, damn, are they handy.
I really like these early-gen Renault Twingos. It's such a clean, fun, distinctive small car design. People still thought I was an idiot to take a picture of it.
Why is the non-US Corolla so much cooler than ours? Or at least was. We never got this pretty great looking 5-door hatch, with its fun round headlights. Now I'm even angrier at all of our boring-ass Corollas.
