Yeah, all the CPers here don’t seem to be looking much past the nameplate. The fact that this is a homologation special adds a lot.

The VR4 was basically a 4 door DSM Talon/Eclipse. It’s quite a bit more than lipstick.

Using AMG and M was a bit hyperbolic, I admit. GTI was a better but still not perfect comparison.

My uncle in 1994 let me steer a Lada 2101 like the one below at he age of 4 around the village where I used to live:

We had three cars when I got my license.

Mid 2000 Acura products, specifically the TSX & TL. It’s funny because this generation look newer than the “beak” cars that came after them.

I vote the Mini!

Forza Horizon with cops would be the perfect game. Or NFS Pro Street, but not at the equivalent of Gridlife. The tuning options in that game were amazing. I used a turbo widebody Cayman for everything.

Silly English speakers.

no one wants your turbo 4 no matter what power it makes

Couldn’t edit my last, so here’s this little guy. Street parked, usually.

240SX Convertible. Sits in my driveway.

that ceased to be true when the germans started building cars in America.

The energy needed to create the parts for the hyprids negates any advantage. Sure the car once it is purchased is slightly better for the environment, but add in the cost of mining the materials for the batteries and the hyprid is worse for the environment.

It’s probably too expensive to sell to us gringos. We’ll get some de-contented thing from Tennessee soon enough. Scary to see European companies starting to treat the US market as they’ve handled South American and African markets for decades with older, cheaper designs. Peugeot will start assembling 405s in Arkansas…

I don’t care what these other nit-pickers think, the car is jaw-droppingly gorgeous in person.

Because when they do it en masse like this, they prove their value to management when they replace them with incompetent kn0w-nothings and management comes crawling back.
