That’s great and all and we can all feel a warm glow, however billionaires like Meg Whitman are exactly the type that Trump diehards consider ‘elites’. Her endorsing Hillary is on brand for Trump...

Either amazingly dense or expert trolling. Can’t decide...

Chevrolets are not officially imported into Germany

It’s actually level. The wheel openings in front are much bigger as the wheels need to, you know, turn.

The Focus RS is built in Saarlouis Germany. No strikes anywhere. Even if vacation times are more generous than in the US this is nothing new or surprising. Ford have screwed up production planning and are looking for an excuse...

The crest badge thing is pretty convincing. However the size of the side windows and the slim B pillars are more in line with post 64 beetles.

Didn’t keep him from driving too fast in the wet though...

Thing is, this is directly in front of the dealer’s garage...

Fiskens is amazing. A few weeks ago I took this picture through their garage window.

The V10 had 507hp and took 4.6s to 60.

That’s not a 02. That is a low cockpit early ‘neue klasse’, the 4door sedan that spawned the o2. Looks like an 1800 TI/SA.

You are comparing global Tesla pre orders with BMW US sales. Globally, BMW sells more than half a million of the 3 series.

What?

Their new naming system is far more logical than before. GLC is the SUV-equivalent to the C-Class, GLE —> E-Class, GLS —> S-Class. How can one not understand that?

The CLA ist in a completely different, smaller, FWD platform. That’s why it’s proportions look so awkward. Based on the C-Class, a 4 door ‘Coupe’ would look amazing.

That’s not your car’s fault, that’s racing technonogy’s fault. Nowadays anything even close to a racing car is unusable on the road. In the 60s they just put a helmet on and went for it in the car they drove to the track.

No, but in the 1800 TI/SA or the 2000TII, which shared an engine with the 2002tii

Again, I’ll have to disagree there. Apart from the 2600 V8 no Glas engine had more the 100hp in 1966, while the 1800 TI/SA and the 2000 Tii already produced 130hp out of 1800 or 2000cc respectively. The general suspension technology (struts in front, semi-trailing arms in the rear) was also unchanged from the Neue…

Don’t know about the 510, but a Squareback is not even in the same ballpark. We’re talking 130hp sports sedan here, not a 50hp oversized beetle. While not a coupe like your example, the Neue Klasse was a direct competitor to the Alfa Giulia.

The Neue Klasse also started BMW’s tradition of offering street legal touring car homologation specials to the public. Behold the 1800 TI/SA, seen here with its spiritual successor.
