*If you can find one. And if you do, good luck getting it at MSRP.

“To lose so miserably” is pretty harsh considering how successful this LMP1 program has been so far.

Honestly, I’m more curious about that Yamaha than the Toyota. Until this post I never knew Yamaha ever made these “Wave Jammers”. As someone who’s only ridden old Kawasaki Jet Skis, these look both familiar and strange at the same time. And painful.

(@ 1:00 mark) So perhaps it was one of the last Mercedes to be over-engineered for quality and durability.

320i, sport package, manual, fold down rear seats, cloth, manual seats, no sunroof. Cheap and ideal. Why can’t we have that?

WRX’s should be safe buys too, here in CA they’re pretty much the car equivalent of the Tacoma in the used market. STI’s are even better, with clean-titled ‘08 models still easily going for $25k+.

Just be happy we still have this. Yeah it doesn’t get the little 1.6 diesel found in the 1 Series, but its 2.0 diesel is more appropriate for the extra weight anyways.

Obvious ugliness aside, I really hope I’ll never be stuck behind one of these on a sunny morning/afternoon.

BMW thought it was a good idea, though I feel like as it was being designed, a BMW engineer said something along the lines of “Told ya it’d fit.”

I definitely understand how the design evolved from their original Scouts, but I keep seeing the front of a K10 Blazer...

Just one step closer to creating a life-size Rebound

Alpina has had that overall wheel design pretty much since inception, but it’s changed over time.

Sure it had a pretty design, but that ad accompanied by with its “Expensive means it’s good” marketing took away any sympathy I have for its inevitable death.

Firstly, when it comes to paying more for an actual badged up Honda, you need to focus that frustration at the Canadians, not Americans.

Honestly, if there was ever a brand that could avoid adding a CUV/SUV into their lineup to bump sales, it’d be Ferrari. Though some of their sales practices may be questionable (such as black-listing buyers for privately selling their cars), the capped production numbers seem to have successfully driven up both demand…

I used to be on the same boat but later I discovered I just despised a certain group of hot rods and not general style of them. I’m not sure what that style is called, but looking like they belong on a ZZ album cover would be pretty accurate description. Hot rods like these I absolutely love:

It’s common practice to attach an arm to the subject car and push the car to get a rolling shot (the slower, the safer. Driving the car can create vibrations that’ll blur the subject). Results are similar to regular rolling shots but usually with an even more blurred background.

Still one of my favorite Hondas. It wasn’t quick, but the styling was absolutely dead on and there’s something about driving well-maintained Hondas from this era that feels so good.

Think this was far from their best work, though I gotta give Zagato credit for those front fenders. Love them or hate them, their designs are never boring. Personally though, I prefer their other Nissan collaboration, the 300 Bambu, though I don’t think it was ever more than a one-off.

Sorry to say but these crushings have never been a statement about safety. The only reason why the law exist was to help Mercedes reduce sales loss to grey market imports.
