James Bond would be much more effective at sneaking up on Spectre henchmen in the Odyssey, and just think of what Q could do with it!

I’ve been defending these things for years. Light colors don’t do them favors, I’ll admit, but it’s a damn fine car. We work on a dark blue Turbo that’s just stunning. The interior is great, all the buttons, buttons everywhere!
I had an ‘83 quattro and still have a 4000Q, and have had many other K-jet cars. It’s an elegantly simple, super reliable system. I love it, but parts are now getting hard to find and expensive if you need them, and most people think it’s black magic.
That’s my pick as well. Most of the fun of the Mk1 with some key refinements, before the MkIII lost the plot. I’d love a Corrado, I’m keeping an eye on a green ‘93 SLC that a client has.
As much as I adore the Mk1, I’d say the Mk2 16V is the best all-arounder. Electronic injection instead of Bosch K-Jet (not that I mind K-Jet, it’s a great system but it scares most people and is now expensive to fix), more power, more revs, better cabin ventilation, a bit more interior space, still with sharp Germanic…
I’m just gonna go find a cash machine...
This is true, the only stock 240s left are 12 valve automatics, and they’re $6,000. You don’t have a choice but to buy somebody’s half-assed, sleepy-eyed, primered drift project.
No mystery here, everyone is on the wrong side of the road!
This, exactly. The E60, any E60, makes the E39 M5 look like a Camry. I can back that up over and over with customer’s cars.
Best: Countach LP500S. Yes, they’re supposed to be terrible to drive. But look at it! The LP400 was undeniably more elegant, and the Muira, 350 & 400GT are prettier, but this car defined Lamborghini as we know it.
Considering they had a hand in the development of the Volvo 960's engine, I’m going with a straight-six Panamera station wagon. Or not. Probably not.
I’m with you. To me, endurance cars look their best at the end of the race.
If i could post that gif of the S60 hitting the back of the truck in a demonstration of its safe-stop system on kinja mobile, I would.
I forget where, but I once read that Britain has a vicious double standard when it comes to the appreciation of supercars. Ferraris, Porsches, and the like are frowned upon, their owners assumed to be new-money assholes, while a new Aston Martin could roll by and the same bystander would salute it, muttering “attaboy”…
That’s about right. Rinse, wash, repeat.
When it’s not grounded.
This is all an elaborate ruse by Sergio to further devalue FCA, thus baiting VW into a merger it can’t say no to. It’s a little known fact that VW has long had its eye on the hotly contested “Small Italian Retro Shitbox”, “Dumb Looking Front Wheel Drive Work Van”, and “Large American Sedan That Looks Like A Bentley…
Conversely, can it make a Pop Tart that isn’t as hot as the sun on the outside, yet strangely lukewarm inside?
Ol’ Serg pays himself way, way too much, I see. Not surprising. And what the hell is the bonus for? Trying to whore a merger to everybody but Mitsubishi?
