Like I said, I think mercedes is about the only one in the past few years to pull off a halo car successfully with the SLS, aside from Audi of course. Heritage car, harkens back to one of their greats, wasn’t the best performing car ever, but focused on the cool doors and the driving experience. Combined with a strong…

Agreed! I just wish they were a bit more stringent. Now a days even a “homologated” car usually has completely different suspension and mounting points, engine placement etc. Back in the 70’s and 80’s you could essentially buy the race car off the showroom floor, albeit with an interior. Hell, even the STi which…

True, you do see a lot of them on the street, but is the 370z sale in relation to the GT-R or is it simply a success because of the z name plate and because its a decent car? The GT-R is successful for the reasons that america has been crying for a GT-R for 2o+ years, and at the original 80k price tag it was a…

Sporadically, will try next time! :)

I whole heartedly agree. The point of a Halo car isn’t to drive sales of the halo model, but to drive sales of your lesser products that the average human can afford. No one is going to see an NSX, test drive a TLX, and think... “ These definitely share the same DNA” maybe if every car Acura made was civic type R…

Oh, I completely agree. As a proponent of homologation specials myself I 100% believe that every racing series should enforce homologation, I prefer that to some spec series where everything is the same in different bodies like nascar/V8 supercars/DTM.

They created some for homologation, I think 3 ever were actually produced, and they essentially shoehorned the e39 m5 (s62) motor in. FYI the S62 used to be in everything bmw raced, from daytona prototypes, to the M6’s they ran in Rolex, and so on. Teams now claim its s65 derrived, and it very well may be, or BMW is…

SO much this. Saw a 600 down the interstate the other day and he looked like he was riding a honda ruckus it was so stretched.

Nope. NOPE NOPE NOPE. Its a Vlad car. Vlad seemingly does great work, until you google VLAD e30 m3. I’m willing to bet this is lipstick on a pig.

You searched how long to buy that damn scout? leave it behind and it will haunt every other scout you ever try and buy.

Thanks for sharing, I just realized how ingenous the A pillar design is to keeping it out of your sightline in corners. Absolutely amazing little detail that makes a massive difference.

It has to be some lower tier Start and park nascar team

IF anything it looks like an RX8 R3

Challenge- Actually not the most expensive Lotus ever, Type 125 probably is much more expensive.

so what your saying is safety standards dont matter, and its dumb we have to wait 25 years to import something governed by a safety body probably more competent than NHSTA from approximately any country other than China, Russia, and India?

TO be fair, IIRC porche retired 2 cars last year, and literally pushed the last one across the line.

I have thought this for quite some time, why completely ditch good automotive designs? I mean sure, no one is clamoring for the e63 7 series to come back, fine, but you’re dead right with the e46, or even the e90 335i. People would still buy them at a discounted price with a new warranty, especially in this day and…

To be fair, IIRC they were the same chassis and carry over motors, the chassis didnt change until the 2010 model.

Hawkeye FTW. Honestly the only bad looking car in this entire generation of subaru design was the Tribeca.

IM calling bullshit adam carolla didnt make the list
