The US never got Nivas !? We hade them on the northern par of the border. Guess you could import want if you really want it. It's going to be hard finding one that hasn't rusted to dust though.

I don't like the rear flaring and the spoiler. Woul've looked better if they'd have made the rear quarters more "bulbous" to accomodate the plus sized tires. I do like the specs though.

I wish this was the way automakers were making interiors today. Simple, elegant and functional.

That ridiculous dashboard is one of the main reasons I walked away from buying a Cooper S last autumn.

Wasn't that standard on most GM cars up until the mid 90's ?

I'd think so. My 2001 Corolla's was int he same spot. Same goes for the 1991 Escort my father drove when I was a kid.

Indeed.

I'm partial to the Dodge M4S. It was even the star of an 80's tasitc movie where most bad guys drove GM and Ford products.

As long as it spawns a clubracer, Porsche GT3-esque version, I'm all for it.

Dammit, I need to move to Maryland. How bad are nurse's working conditions there ?

Definitely modern ones, you hardly see anything older than 996's here.

That it exactly what came to my mind.

Snow isnt that bad for me. It's the -35˚C and salt that ruin decent cars.
Except for the Porches, those seem to stay in a magnificient condition no matter how many harsh winters they encounter.

Also try "Anamanaguchi" if you like rockin' old school beeps and bleeps.

The show does need a new presenter. As long as I get to be that new presenter.

Kinda sad to see him part ways with Suzuki after so many years. Besides, I'm sure it's pretty much the same chassis he's been perfecting over the years, just with a new Toyota-esque body.

Any capable off-roader. Then you can take some time off in your cabin in the woods with your old friends, drinking inhuman amounts of beer, just like back when you were teenagers.

BATS !!!

I'm pretty sure Ichishima-san said that the Fit/Jazz was Honda's most rigid car, right next to the legendary NSX, in one of the Video Option issues. I'm not surprised at how this one held up.

Typical french snobism. "Yes, of course we can build great race cars. Hahahahahaha ! Non ! Don't be silly, we won't be building a street version of it, you wouldn't be able to drive it the way it was intended to anyway, monsieur."
