Yep it is the Tsubame, same once upon a time in the 90's wagons were popular, the corsa/chevy had it's own iteration, they were fairly popular here in Mexico, but i think time takes it's toll on every car. Tsuru/Sentras are the vehicle of choice for Taxis here, so it's not all that uncommon to see a few of these…

looks like an MR2 with a masseratti MC12 front, and a 90's integra backside, no way is this car worth what they're asking for it

i see a little diablo on the sides, maybe they're going back to their roots.

@clinto: Best set of ads from any car maker ever. i still regard Star as one of Guy Ritchie's best works

the question we should be asking ourselves is, will the top gear america track be an oval?

This is taking ford in the right direction IMO. We're getting the European version of the focus, and the European version of the fiesta, that's awesome. Sorry to say so but the US version of the focus is rather ugly. Hope you can enjoy the euro focus soon enough as we in Mexico currently enjoy.

On that video... sabine is a bit annoying, stig is a mean driving machine. they thould do a vice versa to check who the better driver is

I think tht car was towed belly side up because there was no means to tun it correctly on its wheels, might have been a drifting accident, you know how popular that is over there. The cop car i think is just preventing further accidents.

any speed cameras that happen to capture the taxi speeding will send a prompt bill to the cabbie and schumi got off easy with 100 euros

why doesn't he pilot his own private jet? i mean after driving f1 cars for a living i guess seating idly on a super comfy plane seat still doesn't cut the mustard.

@TrackpediaCow: So when everybody sais that the stig was marvelous and so kind and a great teacher and so on, he's always wearing his helmet?

@Adonis: don't recall that episode, so the Stig has run an official ring lap and mercilessly got beaten by Sabine?

So if LH gets another go and beats the stig, then surely te stig will run another lap and beat his previous time, no?

i say we should stop this nomotheistic belief, and name EK the God of Hoonage just like in greek and roman times, Those Gods were human in their ways but deities in their feats... just like EK. so i say lets not name him patron saint, just God of Hoonage, it fits him a lot better, so you pray to him directly to hoon,…

Who knows if any of the generation red bull riders will be able to come close to E.K. Madness.

@Fitty7lax:

As i read some of the comments that this car should be a daily driver and not parked for eternity although in mint condition. I propose to the Jalopnik staff a Fantasy Nürburgring. It would host all the desireable cars that were ment not only to show but to be driven, maybe not so many rare and exotics but certainly…

i'm kind of warming up to it, but it's still a diamond in the rough

The old one has one of the ugliest rears i have ever seen. And the new one i doubt it could reach the claimed 270 MPH claimed. I can just imagine the car flyin just like those speedboats that barrel roll all over the place. Plus that styling for the new one just seems to come from a place no one wants to go back to.

WOW that video is horrible, and top gear did make a small part for the reventon, jezza insisted it sounds rebenton and hamster said it was reventon... not in depth might i add.
