I still say the cars should be taken away immediately after the final race and measured by the FIA who should then publish all the information to all the teams so everyone can learn from the research and bring them closer together for the start of the season

A lot of old Le Mans cars are RHD with RH shifter (see GT40 or Porsche 917 for example). I think it's because you have better sight lines with RHD on a clockwise circuit but as most people are right handed they have more control over a RH shifter.

I’ve seen this article and a similar one on BBC and to me there’s a major unanswered question. How will it be broadcast? If it’s about getting the exposure and fan/sponsorship support then people need to actually be able to watch it.

Platform for a Rangie convertible to go against the class leading Murano?

I would guess the extra gear on this would be more likely a lower first that isn't used most of the time.

I’m getting 90s Vauxhall from that grille. 

I’ve had new cars that would drain a battery in 4 weeks. If the fault list is genuinely all that's wrong NP all the way 

This sounds like a good thing to me. It mens when they get cheaper as they agree there will be a bigger pool of parts cars and presumably it will make some exciting engine swaps more feasible. 

The problem with making cars cheaper is you start competing with used cars and a lot of people would prefer a ‘better’ car used than a new budget car. On top of this leasing and PCP deals often work out cheaper on more exspensive cars because the retained value is higher.

You sure about that percentage? It is Sunday night so my maths might be off but if 0.26 seconds is 6 percent of the lap time the total lap would be about 5 seconds. 

Some repo agencies will deliberately take goods that won’t cover the debt because the debtor gets billed for all the repo mens work. I worked with a guy who had a car repossessed and the charge for them taking it and selling it was less than it made at auction so he owed more money after the repossession than before. 

I’m totally with you on this. It takes very little power to cruise at highway speed but more importantly the whole point of a multilane freeway is that faster vehicles can safely pass slower ones.

My dad used to work with a man who drove a Nissan sunny that he bought 3 years old in about 1990. In 2012 he still had the car as his main car, probably still does. The car was fully serviced and he gout everything fixed on it, even when this work cost more than the car was worth but as hge pointed out he still spent…

For me it's a toss up between the E36 and the E46. I'd narrowly go towards the E46 because I see it as the last version of the original philosophy. 

I am pleasantly surprised by the interior as so many modern cars just get that wrong in my opinion. The screen size, shape and position looks good to me and is something seemingly hard to get right. 

The comments here paint a strange picture to a European as Nissan is having something of a renaissance with the new Micra and Leaf as well as the all conquering Qasqai and Juke. Maybe Nissan just isn't fussed about the US market? 

I came close to buying one of these twice but could only find the bottom diesel or the super tax qualifying v6 turbo. They drove much better than the related Vectras and had much nicer interiors. They dropped like stones though, in 2010 an early car sold for about £10k in 2015 a low mileage 2010 car could be had for…

It won’t happen and Jeremy Clarkson explained why that’s a good thing about 7 years ago. There’s no way they could raise the limit to 80 without enforcing it where as you can currently get away with cruising along at 85.

Team orders were legal when multi 21 happened.

Peugeot 205 is definitely missing from this list.
