Looks like everyone but the author had the same thought. I mean with Mazda already doing the Fiat 124 for FCA, it only makes sense to expand that partner ship. Also Mazda has a pretty good history of making decent cars, and their current lineup is very nice. A Mazda 6 could make a good basis for the 200 and a Mazda 3…

Of Course in some parts of the World like Germany, you have to deal with Red/Yellow. Which means the light is about to turn Green. I was with an American colleague in Berlin, and as we approached the light he asked me if the light was turning Red or Green, as it had a Yellow light. I answer Yes, to the first part of…

I love full size Vans, my Mom used to drive a full size Ram Van. We used it to pull our travel trailer, and my Dad always said it was the best tow vehicle he ever had. It could haul lots of people very comfortably, due to the extra weight over the rear wheels that a truck does not have it handled well, and it had a…

Google Ferrari 400ia... came with a GM automatic transmission.

In NY if your Insurance in canceled NYS is notified by your insurance provider when the insurance expires. You then have 30 days to surrender your plates. If you do not they with suspend your drivers license and if they find you driving or your car on the street, your plates will be seized, and your license taken from…

SWEET... can I ask some question as to how I get it... or will that invalidate your prediction? If I can ask questions... how do I end up getting it? Do I win the Lottery, does someone gift it to me, do I have a wealthy Uncle I am not aware of? When in 2017 will I have it, should I start celebrating at new years, or…

Never say Never. But fully replaced by EV, your probably pretty close to right. Replaced by other fuel options, probably eventually, but not likely in the life time of anyone reading this today.

Charge time is limited by the Laws of Physics, but it is possible to make Batteries exchangeable like flashlight batteries. Of course since so far they can’t even standardize charging plugs, standardizing battery design and how to swap them, might be asking a lot. That said those are pretty small issues. Even getting…

I would not hold my breath, Honda has basically been going down the road that the Big three in the US did in the 70's and 80's It took a long time for them to realize their mistakes, and has taken much, much longer time to get the direction going in the right direction. The good news is Honda probably has more control…

It may have started a safety revolution within Nascar, but many other series had been making serious changes to improve safety long before Dale Earnhardt's Death. Nascar was really the last to get on board with safety.

I suspect the only place in North American that will see the Alpine is Mexico. Renault is looking at tentatively testing the waters in Canada, but it is such a brisk effort that I don’t see them bringing the Alpine. Considering that the US has such different safety and emission standards than the rest of the world and…

Neither is way, way, over done CGI garbage. That’s what was good about the original Bourne movie, the special effects took a back door to telling a good story, rather than the way over done, CGI smash fest, with just enough of a plot line to call it a story. While I don't expect a movie to pass a mythbusters movie…

Yes, I would love to see a modern Falcon in the US. If they were to bring over this Australian version, I would not be unhappy.

Because it does not work that way. Smaller engines can easily be wound up to high RPM's for extra HP, but it gets very expensive when you try to scale those potential gain up in a large motor.

Because of agencies, like the EPA, and others creating law via regulations. Along with the many myriad of laws passed daily by congress, even a do nothing congress, most every person in the US if looked at closely enough could be convicted of 5 felonies every day. Thankfully the vast majority of such rules and…

That's a little more in line, although possibly a tiny bit high since it's an automatic. They did make Manual versions of the 400, that's where I'd put my money.

Deffinately CP. The 70's 365 could be worth a little bit more than the 80's 400i, since everyone associates the 400i with the automatic transmission. However since they look so similar I don’t see much price difference. Now the 60's 365 is for sure in demand these days, if this was one it might be worth a…

Yes, there is a shop I stop in near me, they do nothing but work on classic, and older exotic cars. One of the guys in the shop told me, some of their biggest work comes from auction purchased cars, that have been poorly restored, just so it will bring big bucks at auction.

Technically yes... but it is extremely rare that straw purchasers are arrested, and charged, even though that is how most guns used in crimes are acquired. Most straw buyers are wives, mothers, grandmothers that are either pressured and even forced into doing so. The other common one is gang members that are protected…

And apparently does not ever see himself going on a trip out side the US... such a shame.
