It never would've worked, and four of us in any three door with luggage road tripping for a week would've got old fast. If it'd just been the missus and I however, that would have been excellent.

When my in-laws came in for our wedding last year to Edinburgh I hired a car and was offered a DS3 with a retractable canvas sunroof as a free upgrade. I knew we'd never get all 6'4" of him in it, but I was so tempted. It would've been awesome.

Well, the only good Escorts were the first two generations, with rear wheel drive. Every subsequent Escort was a shitbox. The Escort Cosworth doesn't count, it was a Sierra in drag. So this thing is doomed, heritage wise.

Complaining about how bloated the Paceman is compared to the rest of the Mini lineup is like stating supersizing your McDonalds is unhealthy. Bashing the Paceman while giving the rest of the lineup a pass for largely the same thing is so freaking old.

A work in progress, but the ingredients (rear wheel drive, V8, NOS) add up to a VERY sexy minivan.

Nope. Nope nope nope. There hasn't been a Jag designed in 20 years that should have a leaper. If it was supposed to be there, then Jaguar would've styled the car to suit it.

I met a California dude backpacking in Germany and he told me how disappointed he was being unable to flip a Smart in Italy. He tried to lift it from the rear. He didn't believe me that was where the engine was.

Awesome lady. She reminds me of the lady who loaned me her spare innertube and use of her hand pump when I was stranded out in the sticks after popping the rear tyre on my bike with no way of getting home other than walking ten miles.

Hopefully this one with look more wagony than crossovery(?) than the last one.

And I have one in my wardrobe, but it doesn't mean I sound like I'm talking through a slide-whistle.

Huh. Well, for the record, I've not heard a single person in Scotland, or the UK, correctly pronounce Skoda. Schkoda. Sckoda.

I really don't. Man's a douchebag.

Because we all talk like Sean Connery or something?

Makes a video whinging about potholes, claims 'zero fucks given' in video.

WRX. 8 grand cheaper, no mahoosive spoiler, and as C&D proved, with a redline clutch dump 'rex will beat its big bro' to 60. Day to day it'll be a way better car to live with, and I doubt your grin can get any wider in an STI in the twisties. The only thing I don't like is how its underwheeled, but with that 8 grand…

Now THAT was awesome. The video heading this article? Just awful. I didn't even bother finishing it.

That makes me want to cry just a little. How anyone could be so cruel to the majesty that is the F1.

Considering that both their major rivals, Audi and BMW, have SLK fighter's (the TT and the Z4) and existing convertibles based on their compact executive cars (A3 and 1-series), it's a no brainer for Mercedes to build a convertible off the A-class platform.

So, because Porsche are now part of the VW group, the rest of the brands are taking styling tips from them? Because that looks exactly like the old one with a revised front end. Way to phone it in guys.
