Absolutely agree with the 25 year law being just some lobbied BS from Mercedes to prevent loss of sales by imports, but that specific restriction never had anything to do with the EPA and was never labeled as an environmental issue. From inception, Mercedes framed their cause to be addressing a “safety” issue, the…

I understand the original intention behind the rules, but as it stands the current situation here in the US is ridiculous:

I haven’t never really bothered by them nowadays.

Suddenly the hideous design of the new Prius makes sense.

only the GC’s with HIDs had that gap

Modern race cars boring? Gonna have to respectfully disagree with that

Sorry, but the amount of effort to make the Mustang II halfway decent just wouldn’t be worth it IMO. Personally, if I was going for a mini Mustang, I’d much rather put in the extra effort to get a Mavrick Grabber...

Hold on a sec, is this the first time the bumper fills in that black plastic area they always had under their headlight?

Did the 70's have some amazing cars? Of course! But the ratio of cool:crap made the 70's were one of worst decades overall for cool cars. Badge-engineering, severe cost-cutting and the introduction to emission systems just really hit the decade hard.

Mostly it was because the BRZ was always more expensive which is an issue for a car that was already deemed “underpowered” for it’s asking price.

But a series with Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW and Aston Martin is fine?

Land Rover Defender

Fortunately the bagged car in that image is a more common 128i or 135i wearing an M bumper, not an actual 1 Series M Coupe.

Mid-engined Subaru you say? Hopefully it’ll look better than the last attempt...

CP all day long, especially when they’re asking for as much as the more desirable donor car itself. Quick search at Ebay will pull up Vipers sitting around the $30k-$40k range. Yeah those are bidding prices, not set prices, but if it means I have a chance at getting a beauty like this amazing ACR, then it’s absolutely…

*clone of what my 328i looked like*

What’s not to love indeed!

Thing is, there are lowered versions of many of these CUVs. The Fiat, Mini, Honda, Subaru, and Mazda are all directly tied to hatchbacks currently sold. Also, the raise-it-then-lower-it-again trend is already starting to be considered by automakers. Case in point, VW’s next gen Tiguan...

To me it’s the unique history and crazy engineering that mostly fascinates me about the EB110. And while I admit it’s certainly not the best looking design, I always thought it looked more “muscular” than other supercars of the era and it seemed to be built at a higher standard than the other left-field builders…

Being familiar with Candlestick in SF & Inglewood in LA, the fact a new but base-model Challenger isn’t surprising at all. Owners will overreach their budgets to pick up a new ride that gives the impression of being a street bruiser. New Chargers, Camaros and Challengers tend to be the favorites choices.
