Often they use authentic cars for close ups and a few replicas for stunts. I know in Goldeneye they had one real Z8 and a couple of SBC-powered knock-offs (one of which was sawed in half).

I'm curious if this bigger V8 is a preview of the next M3's engine. Seems like more displacement would equal more torque, and more torque has been a BMW M theme lately with the turbo V8s replacing the V10s.

My thought is it's not the V8 or the fuel economy, it's the RWD and that it's imported from Australia (raising the price). Most Chevy buyers don't want RWD (fishtailing is scary) or don't know what it is. They already tried putting a V8 in the Impala, why would the average buyer pay more for a Caprice? Maybe…

I was trying to figure that out. I guess the SCG has something to do with Scuderia Glickenhaus

some variety of E46 M3

This MR2 has that vacant expession that reminds me of an MRF

It's the latter.

Ron Swanson does not approve.

The Regal is kind of nice looking, I'll give it that. But it's about the size of a Camry V6 and weighs more. The 2hp advantage it has over the Camry V6 isn't going to make up for the extra weight. Cool engine in a nice looking appliance. Can't say I'm excited about it.

I've had that image on my desktop for MONTHS. I'll never get tired of it.

"…the car’s front fenders and cooling vents look gorgeous (and go well with red pumps)."

I think AWD is a costly, heavy and complex way of trying to fix the driving dynamics of a FWD car that is still going to have too much weight over the front wheels. For years I've been saying the TSX should have the turbo 4 from the RDX but who listens to internet commenters? Plus, it's still ugly.

A rescue technician has been dispatched to your vehicle and will arrive between the hours 8am and 5pm. Thank you for your patience.

P (momentum) = M(ass) x V(elocity), so yes, speed had something to do with it. If you still doubt physics, I encourage you to experiment (in a way which will not harm others).

Audi says the US version of the TT-RS will do 60 in 4.6. To get the 3.6 0-60 time with the DSG you will need to use launch control. Launch control is a neat and all, but mostly useless in everyday, real-world driving. DSG just isn't as fun or engaging. It's one of the reasons I got rid of my GTI.

According to our tour guide, the Renault 4 replaced donkeys in Croatia's wine country because they could handle the tough terrain and were super reliable. We saw many still in use.

Oooh I can't wait for the BMW 1 Series M Coupe CSL GTS sDrive35is!

I agree the problem isn't with the internal combustion engine, it's the infrastructure and fuel production. ICEs that burn hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cell cars already exist, facilities to produce and distribute hydrogen fuel do not. Producing hydrogen fuel is energy intensive and often involves consumption of fossil…

All that weight up front plus 500hp going to the rear might make for some scary handling. Scary awesome.
