Enough with the Formula 1 movies, America's not that interested. Instead give us a real bowling movie. We've never had a good bowling movie, so maybe Ron Howard can do his next flick on the life and Walter Ray Williams.

If you're worried about buying a bad used car, just buy new.

Is the seller 12 years old? What a childish way to go through life. Seller needs to grow up.

For gosh sakes. Where's Bugs Bunny when we need him?

You can still get your hands on a high-priced CL. Or, wait 8 years and get it for the price of a Scion.

These 7s were just awful, awful, awful. These were made in BMW's dark ages. So glad they've moved on. However, later Bangle designs were just as bad.

They weren't built for speed. In retrospect, a brick isn't very aero either.

All the more reason to have a back window.

We're in the midst of a turbo/super fad again. Just Zac mentioned, the 80s burned us out on Turbos. This feels like a stopgap measure, and a lazy way to accomplish the goal of better efficiency. We know that these power adders make smaller engines feel bigger. However, as we saw in the 80s. These additional parts do

Throughout most of North America, we require cars to suit our sprawling lifestyles. While the types of vehicles we drive will continue to evolve, they're not going away anytime soon.

I remember the first time I opened up a valve body. Bearings rolled everywhere. Lesson learned.

Most cars are bought to be driven and used until they're junk, as such it doesn't really matter what people do to them. Mecum auctions 50 years from now will feature cars that require extensive work to undo the "mods" of today.

Much in the same way Top Gear is the only "car show" your wife will watch, the C63 with the P31 package is the only muscle car that she'll never mind having to drive. A 2010 can be had for <$50k.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.

I've seen and heard the same. It just doesn't have the cache of a T2 or T3, though its improvements make it a better vehicle for daily duty.

Looks weren't a problem for this car, particularly when you look back on North American domestics of the era.

No argument that poor marketing had a part, but more than that, it didn't have a chance to thrive. Its Euro architecture put it ahead of GM's North American cars. This along with the G8 were among GM's best efforts prior to the reorg, not including GM/Toyota collaborations, however they both had foreign origins.
