As for the XUV I remember GM dueling them out of existance claiming they owned the large boxy shape with the hummer. Kinda like Apple holding a patent on rounded corners. This new one seems to be from my old home town and all they sell so far is fake stock certificates and tee shirts. Best of luck to them.

It doesn't loom like the placement of the engine had anything to do with that accident. It doesn't look like the driver even knew there was a turn there till it was too late. Driver error, or blame the navigator, but I don't think you can lame the car for this one.

Does this count?

The nose looks like a Pokemon, and would it kill them to add a windscreen? And what's with the neon on the sides? Looks like a car for the top of list of cars that are amazingly fun to drive while being amazingly embarrassing to be seen in.

They all have to come down. Once you let people put up road side crap and call it art you open the floodgates, and soon the highways are lined with advertisements disguised as art. Screw em all I say. Just permitted billboards is all I want to see as I cruise down our nations highway.

That does look like the coolest version I've seen. We rarely get the coolest versions here in the states.

That is impressive.

7.) Jeep Forward Control, I have express a love of all things cab-forward before, but I though safety regulations killed off the cab-forward design?

I'm afraid the Corvette is akin to the 911 in that moving the engine placement would be sacrilege. Engine in the front, drive at the rear, people in the middle. It's the way it's always been, it's the way it'll always be. I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just saying its the way the laws of physics work in that part…

My guess is with an Alfa badge on it it will cost twice the price as if it has a Mazda badge on it. Just a guess.

I've been having trouble linking to videos with this new system. The edit function doesn't seem to work on my Mobil device either so I can't take down the posts after I see the link is broken. That said, I'll try one more time before I give up.
It reminds me of this old film:

Kind of reminds me of this old film:

That shows a level of commitment to a single car that borders on compulsive. Not to mention a level of driving skills mixed with luck to avoid accidentsnover all those years. I'm impressed.

Since he knew what is the question. Right?

Was this version sold in the US? I've never seen one. I live in California and went all the way to New Mexico to get a 4wd version, back in 95. The early days of car shopping on the Internet. It's one of Jose cars where other people driving them wave as they pass, and people would often come over to talk about it at…

Not to mention the 4WD version is a capable off-roader. And you can fld down the back seats and carry 4x8 sheets of plywood in there.

Kinda looks like they they did the design models out of Lego.

"That car really gets spinning after the impact. Impressively, the driver walks away unharmed, and even manages to grab her jacket and purse with a very "oh well, fuck it" kind of demeanor."

I had one of these and it was amazing, but then any of the older cab-forward minivans were like that. My old 1963 Volkswagon camper van was small by modern standards but ther was an apartment in there. The only down side is the people in the front seats become the crumple zone for head-on impacts.
