I don’t think maintenance is too bad, if you can do some work yourself and/or have a good indie shop. The 456 does not require engine out service. Don’t go near a dealer though, which raises another problem.

Or if you want a more exotic take actually designed by Pininfarina, then just import a 406 coupe. This one even has the same colour combo.

I’m a simple man. I see this and click “Nice Price.” You can keep all the rest of the bullshit to yourself.

Manual, V12, pop-up headlights... Absolutely beautiful car... NP all day long. Also far more money than I could ever afford, but that doesn't make the price any less nice.

The answer is pretty obvious.

There’s no “back” in a Renault 5 turbo, that’s the engine bay!

Elevator pitch - Nick Cage and Angelina Jolie are back, this time trying to get the embattled CEO of Nissan from a port in Marseilles to his home in Lebanon. Why didn’t he just fly? He DID, but engine trouble forced an early landing. Yes, I know they were flying from the east, but an American audience won’t notice the…

200 20v! I feel like you knew not what you had. That motor is one of the best Audi ever made. Same engine as in the URS4/S6. They make great power with mods. 

I loved the Audi saloons of that era. I had a not-too-dissimilar looking 1989 Quattro 20V Turbo for quite a while (I got it for cheap when it was 10 years old). It had a rather odd inline 5 cylinder engine, but man was it fast. I loved that car. Sadly, the problem with any of these cars is that they cost so much to…

“Get it so Americans don’t need a car at all.”

Forget everything else, just federalize the new Focus ST wagon.

You had me till the last sentence, and then you failed big time. BMW owners don’t care what’s under the hood as long as it has the badge? Implying that BMW owners neither care about the dynamics of the car or the environment is a lazy stereotypical response I’ve come to expect from the writing on this site.

The reason for the prices on things like the CRX, MR2 Turbo, 240sx and other iconic sporty cars being so ridiculous is pretty simple - Supply and demand. They have always been desirable and most got bought, modified (Badly) driven hard, crashed, stolen, parted out or left to rot. Particularly models from the 90's and…

Makes sense to me. They’ll be fully electric (and autonomous) after 2050 so no need for a windshield...

Have to confess. That Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2’s sale price is the only one that didn’t make my head spin because of how genuinely special I believe that car is.

Holy shit, I actually have one of those, a 1983 300TD wagon. Mine will probably never sell for $44k, but I’ll also probably never sell it. I am glad to see them getting this kind of love. :) these cars are crushingly endearing.

Why? They don’t seem to work. 

As a fan of both cars and Bravo, this story is just...perfect.

We’re undoubtedly heading towards an electric self driving future, so enjoy these types of cars while you can.

I want to point out that newer isn’t always better. Why bother spending money developing an entirely new platform when the current one will suffice. The money they don’t put towards developing a new platform can be used to improving the components on current products. The reality is that for 50k after incentives, you…
