I wish we’d had this model as a mondeo ST300 in the UK though I know it wouldn’t have sold well.

My sister went to private school (government sponsored assisted places for smart poor kids at the time) and the richest people there drove old Toyotas and Hondas. Old money rarely have flash cars. 

But you basically can buy that car in America. Just with Nissan badges. 

They have been talking about doing this since the mk2 1 series launched and it makes perfect sense. People who actually buy normal models (114i, 116i, 118i and most of the diesels) don’t actually want RWD and to them it’s probably a sacrifice. Buyers of the sports models are probably just as happy with AWD.

BMW 3 series compact? Put a 6cyclinder engine from another e36 in there and you are gold.

It’s a weird situation because it would be exciting but also boring at the same time. It is possible but it is so unlikely especially with tracks like Monaco on the calendar (for me that’s the biggest obstacle for the clean sweep).

I wish they sold the Ford Flex here and for a 5 digit number starting with a 2.

People believe lies that match what they want to hear. The media definitely promotes voices that are optimistic about when autonomous cars will be here.

Is it not a reference to the Sport Quattro? 

I feel the same way but I think it just makes it cheaper as there's more carryover from manual to automatic if they use the same hole in the console. 

Reluctant NP. The springs really bother me but it's cheap enough to put up with swapping them or maybe ignoring them if going full shed.

What Honda did you have? The civic, jazz and CRV have all been recently manufactured in England. 

On lotus I really want to say where Porsche was when the Boxter took off and really revived sales but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Please drop Hockenheim over Silverstone or Mexico.

By law you have to be over 70 to enter a Honda dealership in the UK.

Does this mean we might get a RWD Mazda6?

My thoughts exactly. Problem is we're in a lose lose position. Either the car is a success and Dyson wins or the car fails and the government bail him out with our money. 

Remember cars are more exspensive in Europe and price are quoted including tax (I believe the euro price quoted is for Germany).

I think getting a C7 in those conditions is a great idea. No waiting and sweet discounts, probably all the extras thrown in.

The real secret is to stop building them just before people stop buying them. Sell them all at full price and leave the public wanting more so they'll act faster when they buy your next project.
