All of it.

The 2nd generation (1989-ish) Suzuki Swift GTi...a mini hot-hatch which was quite the insane little tin can. Called the Cultus elsewhere, in hatchback form it weighed about 1750lbs, and the GTi replaced the little 1l 3cyl (55hp) with a 1.3l 16-valve DOHC 4-cyl making 100hp. I almost bought one in 1988 but my parents…

“Is Bismarck a herring?”

Correction...’SHOULD have used...’

My girlfriend had replaced her beloved Jetta VR6 with one of these...she never really loved it but it was...fine. About 13 months in, she got broadsided by a van going 45mph getting punted 78 feet away (luckily not hitting any other vehicle) and not only walked away, but only had a small bruise on her wrist from…

I remember reading in Car and Driver years (decades) ago about how Toyota lost the Sienna minivan to a transport fire on the way to the...I think it was the LA Auto Show. At the show, the folks in the Lexus booth handed out press packets with crayons included in them. The color? Burnt Sienna, of course.

I would defend the Bullitt Mustang, because it is absolutely very cool looking and because Steve McQueen (the car was cool because he was driving it, period). BUT...it has always bothered me, every time I watch it starting from the very first decades ago...it was a peg leg. When he overshoots the one corner, reverses,…

Denial.

“There’s only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.”.

I thought the Citroen Traction Avant was the first uni-body car, not the Airflow. Though the Chrysler would obviously be the first American made uni-body.

Came to post this...could hardly read an issue of ‘Car’ without at least one reference to it. Later in the decade it was the 22B subie all over the place, but most of the writers still preferred the R32, and were happy everyone had moved onto the Subie so that the resale prices would come down on the R32.

Really funny thing about Verstappen is how he will constantly whine throughout every race about every little thing any other driver does but he, of course, is clean as a whistle. Yeah, right. He also constantly talks about how ‘undriveable’ his car is and the idiot commentators eat it up and talk about his ‘stellar…

Audi B8 coupes, especially the RS5. Gorgeous and contemporary even 15 years after release.

C6, yes, possibly (to be classic, it needs to be clean, the C6 is)...the C7...no, other than people using it, and the Honda Civic R, as examples of the kind of silliness you get when you have 13 year olds stuck in math class do your styling for you.

So, so many car snobs on this site...and I have been guilty of it, too, throughout my life. But I had one of these for a rental when I was on assignment for about 10 months and I was quite impressed. It was a comfortable, nicely equipped, solidly built (yes, really!), nice handling, decently quick car. I wasn’t going…

This was featured on an episode...possibly two...of Engine Masters, where they even discussed safe minimums and such. Then again, the show is focused on horsepower and drag racing, so engines that can already be considered ‘at risk’.

A little disappointed in Martin being disappointed with the F1 at the track...it wasn’t designed and engineered as a track car, but to be the ultimate road car. The fact it is pretty darned good there as well is impressive. If anyone thinks Gordon Murray wouldn’t be able to create the ultimate track weapon, they’ve…

How did nobody mention the Maybach Exelero?

Damn...you started us off with a good one, and I agree that the slanted headlights help with that kind of furrowed-eyebrow evil-lear kind of thing, but the one I always come back to is the Widowmaker...the Porsche 917. I mean, you’re driving along and see THIS in your rearview mirror, you are going to shit yourself...

Ok, a more realistic one...I want a car that is reasonably small, handles great, and has an insane amount of power and (rear-biased) awd...and really low gearing, like a Group B rally car. 0-60 under 2 seconds, but a top speed of only like 125. Acceleration I can use everywhere, top speed I really can’t (around here…
