In that case Sir, Britain will do as she has always, valiantly done - Try not to cause to much of a fuss.
Several British objections to raise with this image:
Same in the UK, no V6. But I guess it wouldn't sell anyway, most people would assume that V6 was the middle range, and not the bottom with the way things work over here.
Argh! Please, my brain! Can we stop with the 's', and just go with Lego! It drives me nuts, like saying 'sheeps' for sheep.
One of many reasons why Goodwood is indeed: glorious.
Definitely. He's an evil weasel, no doubt. But I too have come to admire him in a perverse way for how much he just doesn't five a fuck.
Rented Mustang (aka, the fastest car in the universe) for me. Although being all foreign and sat on the wrong side of the car to usual (and wonder just how inclusive the insurance might be!!) I chickened out and got on the brakes for the booth.
Ah yes, the G35 was so clean and un-fussy. I had high hopes for Infinity back then, but when Lexus went mad, I think they must have felt some kind of pressure to respond in the 'design' stakes.
I can't quite put my finger on exactly why, but everything about this car is just slightly wrong. Proportions, lines, details, interior.... everything.
Wow, that's a good looking car.
The Audi A8 is a strange one. At first glance you think, urgh so bland! But then after a few minutes in it's company, you're suddenly liking it.
I agree, calling this car a re-badged Mondeo was always churlish, the interior was leagues ahead of anything Ford would have put out and as you say it's still good-looking today, having aged particularly well. I think the mistake they made was making too-cheap base models to try and widen their appeal, hurting their…
Looking back, Peugeot were generally on a roll in that time design wise. Something I miss in modern cars (as well as the greenhouse) is the clean lines. Since the twin crimes of LED running lights and annual model refreshes came along so many cars are awash with unwelcome & unnecessary details.
All 205s were a joy to drive. I had a 1987 1.4l GT, carb fed. With the joyous manual choke with only 1mm in it's travel where the engine would cold-start, and a separate 1mm where it would subsequently run. But once it was going it was great. I ran it for many years, and it broke often in non-serious ways, but only…
Yes! A thousand times this. The fact the humans have been shown in experiment after experiment to consistently over-estimate our capacities for reasoning & informed decision making, is why I can't wait for driverless cars. To paraphrase David McRaney, we are all the hero's of our own self-narratives, and it's human…
This car was amazing. A mis-understanding at the motor show leading up to the launch got me to the point of having the option to place a deposit on one of these. I did consider how long I could drive it before they would have worked out I didn't have the money to pay for the rest of the car & if that would be worth it.
