Really? I thought the big OEMs would find a more elegant and permanent solution for those kind of things.

No idea, the article claims it’s his daily driver that replaced his Mercedes.

I thought Ken Block had the only US-legal 2010 RS.

Females often have larger hips to carry children and all that. So it kinda makes sense. Also, the marketing message is that the Viano is the best possible mix of Mercedes PKW (car) and LKW (Truck) divisions.

Audi saw the Mercedes sex-ed commercial and just had to make it gross.

Oh, and speaking of wrong statements: Quandt took over BMW in the early sixties, the 507 came out in 1956. He was able to take the company because they were in financial trouble, partly because of prestige cars like the 507 and because their line-up wasn’t all that thought through.

Never said they weren’t wealthy in the first place if you read my statement with a bit more care. But during the NS regime, Quandt multiplied it due to factors such as forced labour or very, very beneficial overtaking of rivals owned by Jewish people. In fact, some of those buyouts were pretty much done with the NS…

And Quandt can thank the Nazi Regime for having the capital for investments. That's the part they don't like talking about.

Mercedes SLR McLaren.

Yeah, totally boring, except that Mercedes has problems to get their tires to last the entire race, allowing Ferrari to catch up on them.

Yep. My personal favorite would be the KGB, V8 powered 24. Super rare and.

Why, is Lexus not officially marketed in Japan?

The UAZ and an old Volga (21 or 24) are the only Russian cars I’d ever want to own. Now would be the time to import them, weak rubel and all.

Here's the thing: F1 cars are designed by engineers and aero gurus, not actual designers. Every team would happily take a car that looks like an Aztec if it gets them the championship. To achieve that clean, sleek look, regulations have to be incredibly tight.

The video is now private - did anyone manage to rip it in time?

The Ford GT went up, so did the Carrera GT.

Of course they do. And while I despise the Republicans - why should the state pay for someone’s ride home? Take public transport, pay for a cab, or don’t drink if you want to drive. It’s not like there is no other choice.

Bullshit. The C63 with RWD was quicker than the much newer RS4. It even was on par until 60 mp/h and then took off. Oh, and around Hockenheim short the C63 took seven tenths out of it.

Sure. I’d bet you’d be the first one to call out comrade Obama if the government would pay for people’s rides home after a night of drinking.

I hear that they are working on a revolutionary sociology/toxicology project: 100% of people taking heroin show symptoms of heroin abuse. There must be a link.
