Americans, in general, have shown they don’t want that. They want hatchbacks and station wagons that have been lifted several inches and visual ques that suggest it’s capable of going off road (but none of the actual hardware to do so, that would just make it even more expensive and even worse on gas).

WHY? Just Why The Hell would somebody assemble — ain’t going to call it a “build” — this thing.

Now I wanna swap the turbo stuff onto a ‘79 DJ Jeep!

Two doors too many but gahdamn that’s nice.

Not likely. PNW cities only recently started using salt/brine on roads (a study pointing to sand being an excellent conduit for transporting chemicals to estuaries and wetlands hastened the switch). Prior to that, going back 30 years I can recall, it was only sand. As a result, I regularly see early Mazdas, 80's GM…

The 35 is the weak link. The HP30 up front is a great axle, and more than adequate unless you’re going above 35" tires.

Alfa Busso is the best V6. End.

I know I’m going to get flack for this... but none of those really did it for me... If we’re specifically talking “V6s” then EVERYBODY knows Afla makes the best sounding V6... Along with VW and Infiniti/Nissan:

David’s neighbors-

Look at it! $2500!

Save some rope for me

They should just use Crossovers as rally cars. Mercedes could use the GLA AMG 45, BMW could make an X1M, Audi could use the make an RSQ1, Citroen could make a sporty Cactus, Jeep could make a Renegade Trackhawk, Hyundai Kona N, Toyota HRV GRMN, Ford EcoSport RS. I’m going go hang my self now.

I’m okay with the the move to hybridization, and feel it was an inevitable step. However I absolutely HATE that they’re going to allow tube frame cars and vehicle scaling. One of the special things about rally has always been that the rally cars are built off of factory production shells. There isn’t much left in…

Tube frames are lame.

Instead of a hit off the ol’ crack pipe, perhaps I could interest you in my bargain lobotomy service? 

“Save...Mothra.”

Your dad is cooler than you.

Me (using a heavy, lustful French accent): Oh, lover! Remember how after we went to New Orleans you fell in love with the French “razon extra” and have wanted to go to France ever since we talked to the guy talking Creole?
