So where's the engine? Doesn't look like any V# or inline would fit under that hood.. Or did they dig a hole under the car?

Totally cool, but still useless as a truck with all of 50hp if you're lucky.

Yea the 2001ish Monte Carlo and Firebird have something similar, but it still isn't quite what I had in mind..

Oh I would rock the hell out of this Citroen. Especially here in the US. That looks fantastic!

I long for the day that automakers design a tasteful and integrated place for front plates. I've yet to see a mount that doesn't look like an afterthought. The closest I've seen are the Audi mid-grill mounted ones, and even those can be ugly with white plates. Anyone seen better integrated front plate mounts?

Yea but now it looks like there's something hanging out the corner of its mouth.. like a cigar or something.. granted it's better than the teeth, but still.

Driver Amenities and Comfort Engineer at Ariel/Lotus - Just a bit more cushion.. Nope.. You know a carpeted floor would really be more comfo... No!... How about a radio to.. Nope... A cup holder?... Not a chance... Can we hide the exposed tubing?.. Look who's a designer now, asking for the moon..

Love that one. Though I like this version better..

While the Ferrari in Ferris Bueller plays a central role, there's a cameo by his sisters Pontiac Fiero. Don't know if it's the "best car cameo" out there, but is close to my heart since I've owned one for over 15 years now.

Lumbergh*, but yea. Also an honorable mention to Samirs Firebird:

I always thought the 2008 Accord sedan looked like first-gen C6 Audi A6 from the back..

I was so hoping that at least one idiot would take it full speed.

The St. Johns bridge near Portland is beautiful from many angles, even from the park underneath.

Friends of mine did that. They rode in on the back of the Deuce and a half.. to their BBQ/Surprise Wedding...

Abby someone...

The earliest automotive toy that I can remember owning was this sweet RAF van. Until my "friend" in kindergarten flushed it down the toilet..

This looks to be in some sort of Rally spec. I would imagine they'd have trouble pushing this kind of stuff here. Rally and dirt stuff isn't exactly main-stream tuner culture here. They may need to make a more US Centric marketing effort. Not that I personally don't find the Rally themed stuff appealing..

You know this whole post makes me feel so much better about the work that I've done on my toy. If actual shops can mess things up this bad, then I'm ok that I can't get my 3.4L into a Fiero idling quite right. At least there's no loose wires, no oil leaks, no questionable or dangerous inventions, no wood screws, no…

While I would love to own pretty much any of the cars mentioned in these comments, this is the only car I would not have repainted or wrapped.

I think this needs to be split into two questions:
