The beauty of all this is that in Germany the person that used questionable judgement in driving a CRV aggressively at the ring won't be suing anyone, and has no one to blame but him or herself (hopefully they learned something from this experience).

I think the video would have been better if he crashed.

I remember the one I had was powered by a 390 V8, geared low for pulling boats and trailers. It was the SUV of it's day and with rear facing fold down seating and rear tailgate you could either haul 8 people or full sheets of plywood. I love old wagons.

Back in 1977 I bought a 69 country squire wagon for $300. I drove it for a year and sold it for $300. I have a BMW 2002 that was given to me, but cost over $2500 to make it safe to drive, so that doesn't count as the cheapest car.

Or it's just a blonde joke.

Some people can go a long way on looks alone.

I've seen a better looking car built out of scrap metal by a Chinese farmer.

Stratos

Honda's first offering in the US was powered by a 2 cylinder engine. I may be showing my age, but I do get nostalgic for the days when there was a wide diversity cars (engine layout, drive train, body style) to choose from in the US.

I had one a few years ago in California. Best handling little car I've driven. I remember it taking for a test drive up Hwy 1 after a repair and having so much fun I was almost 100 miles up the coast before I realized it.

Let me get this straight, They took a stock Mustang, welded a bunch of sheet metal over the existing bodywork and grafted on left-over parts from other projects to make it uglier than Crosley, and they claim it was appraised at $75,000?!

I had a blue 1970 nova I bought in San Francisco back in 1984 for $500. I painted it primer grey and called it my urban assault vehicle. It was beat to hell. The back seat was burned out of it (another story) it was stolen in the Bayview district, and after that I had to start it with a screwdriver, but really loved…

It seems by reading comments that Cadillac has done a good job winning over some new buyers. I'm of the generation that still associates Cadillac with all the authentic luxury of a Disney castle, blue-haired old ladies, doctors from Iowa, Texas congressmen, and rapid depreciation; Even if this has changed I still…

Why doesn't Fiat just give us the Punto? I was wondering when they sent the 500 why they didn't send the Punto as well. It's a better looking car as far as I'm concerned. and how about a 4wd Panda while we're at it. Though they might have to change the name. I don't think Americans would buy a car called Panda.

Isn't there always a disclaimer saying your actual mileage may vary? It's all in how you drive the damn thing. Did I mention that that suit she's wearing makes her look like a single middle-aged, unmarried, disgruntled, multi-cat owner?

One word: Cosworth.

I agree. TVR should be on the list, small, light, nimble, unreliable, built in a shed. It ticks all the boxes and looks great doing it.

Has anyone mentioned the Morris Marina?

I have to agree. I remember years back Alan Greenspan asked if GM should be bailed out and his reply was "GM should build products people want to buy." The last GM product I owned was a second-hand 1970 Chevy Nova. The Volt is over-priced, over-sized, overly-complex, and still falls short of what a good electric…
