Not only did Fisker copy the idea of making a plug in hybrid with a moustache, they’re also copying the ingenious elevated section of the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust, what’s next, wooden doors? Shelving unit-inspired bodywork? Pathetic. Get your own ideas Henrik.

There are a couple in Canada (quite literally) that I believe may have been imported by Lada Canada/Peter Dennis Automotive (they had a few noms de plume), the Canadian Lada importer to (I gather) replace the slow selling Sagona/Samara sedan. Lada pulled out of Canada in 1998 and the 110 was never sold here…

Green is a very underrated colour on Ferraris, along with blue. Red and yellow Ferraris are just so played out nowadays.

The blue/yellow scheme they have now just isn’t the same.

How could I forget that great execution of French racing black!

Personally, I love black F1 cars. Black always makes for good liveries.

Volvo opened its first American plant in South Carolina a year and a half ago

They’ve actually changed it on the E-Series cutaways for the 2021 model year and given it the F-150's steering wheel, along with the gauge cluster.

Most of these replies are of, naturally, American chains, but there’s some great Canadian gas station brands too. One of my favourites is the since departed B/A (British American) chain. I think someone in the Lego company took a holiday in Canada and used their logo as the inspiration for Octan. Same colour scheme,…

but they’re getting inline six diesel engines. And we all know that that’s the best kind of diesel engine

I’d pay $155,000 just for that Helvetica side badge. It’s honestly the coolest badge available on any car currently on sale. Like something straight out of trendy 1960s European ad copy. I know it’s gimmicky, but damnit I love it.

Good post.

Plenty of regular sports teams bring out retro jerseys every once in a while, I don’t see why motorsports should be different.

You know, I’d totally watch a period drama about BL’s collapse done in the style of stuff like Mad Men or Halt and Catch Fire. Someone with powerful television executive friends get Torch on the phone immediately.

I quite like it, though I’m still partial to the LDV/Maxus variant.

Now that you point it out, you’re right. Still saying Toyota though.
