I’m going full Brazil here and many americans are going to cringe, but this:
Recently (2 weeks ago) saw one for the first and probably last time, since it's possibly the only one in Brazil. Very bad condition, without engine, transmission ans some of the glasses. Still, a wonderful machine, that tells us "how it could've been".
What is the deal these days, manufacturers having this thing for hexagons. Hyundai, Lamborghini, Ford, and so on. And now on a car that has a design absolutely far from hexagonal. Come on guys, try other geometric figures. Pentagons, octagons... at least TRY to be different.

That's right. I remember reading the story. The executives at Porsche were discussing their lineup in the mid-80's, and what to do in the 90's. There was a timeline on the wall. The 959 project was underway, but the 911 stopped at 1990 (no 964). The 928 was to be redesigned and the 944 would keep going as well. But…
I was going to show you the brazilian cousin of the Panda, the Uno (later called Mille, as it only offered a 1 liter engine). Small, reliable, bonkers fuel economy, extraordinary space inside for a 1980's car and very cheap. I was held in production from 1984 to 2013 in Brazil just with minor modifications, and never…
At leat we get some.
And the cars sold over here aren't cheap either. A base Nissan March costs almost US$ 15k. By now, most of the cars in our roads don't have an airbag, but that's about to change, because in 2014 every car sold here will come with ABS and airbags, for god's sake.
We could blame the automakers for sure, but in my point…
I vote for von Koenigsegg. The man shows a compromise with technology and development unseen so far. And he makes some badass cars as well.
Wikipedia says the record was done in a W125, and the top speed was actually 268 mph. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-…
Well boy, meet Brazil, where a mere Hyundai i30 (not the european, the american Elantra GT), is sold for BRL 75k, or US$ 37,5k. Basic version. 1.6 NA.
You seem to know nothing about Brazilian "justice"...
The STI still is faster than a bunch of cars with way more horsepower. The 181 hp/liter is extremely awesome, but we must note how is that power delivered. Hope that it's not like in the RS3.
The first is fucking awesome.
