My dad had a V70R with a stick and it was a wonderful car.

@Billybird: You thought he was bending his leg too?

Is it wrong that the biggest point I got from this video was that I shouldn't walk anywhere near a road?

@RandomArt: Audio is unnecessary. He went when the Starlet did his tire-warming burnout. Also jumped the green light.

Not sexy, not fast. Not a supercar. But, it's the only product V12 car that can do this.

@fratto: I think the neon does help.

Pretty bad to at the time, horrible next to the XF.

@zacarious: It was a renamed 323/Protege. Not first gen.

@tekamul: Even better than than the S2000 I said.

Since you use the original Mini as an example, this may not count as first generation. But it really was a new car and it was so good that it lasted 10 years almost untouched in a time that most are redesigned after 5. Impressive.

@I Party With Smoot: Well played!

Ray, why do you say it's a design exercise and not a production ready model? It looks like a CLS (and A7?) competitor to me. If it were a design exercise, we'd see something that looked more concepty.

Who should I believe? WWL? Deadspin? WWL? Deadspin? Ahhhhh...

@rlj676-new job, same problems: Yes, they could be working for free, but that doesn't include benefits and the pay to the retirees. I'm not arguing against wages; apparently they're competitive. What drags the Big 3 down is all the additional crap they pay because of the UAW that Toyota does not pay to its American…

@rlj676-new job, same problems: The UAW and the benefits they force on the Big 3 is a main cause of their failure. When Toyota can build cars in the US at a fraction of the labor cost (including wages, benefits, retiree benefits, etc.) that the Big 3 can, there's a serious problem. They're forced to charge more for…
