Definitely Lancia. For all intents and purposes, it's dead. They may not have made what we traditionally think of as a "super car," but they did make SUPER cars. Most of the "super cars" we have today (and in years past) were designed as a road car. From the outset, the Stratos was designed as a purpose-built…

"Can Sensitive Integral Transmission" - Perhaps they're referring to the fact that the transmission has an "auto-stick" mode and is somehow "sensitive" to the needs of the driver in a particular moment

Nice! There's some Hungarian website where you can buy it for about $250, but I don't know if they'll ship internationally.

With a name like that, I can't imagine they'll sell very many in China.

Yup, Inca wheels for sure. I'd definitely go for the 99 Turbo over this (if you could find a decent one, that is).

Whatever you buy, you have to make sure it has a set of those Inca wheels!

I was wrong: actually, it revved to 10,000 RPM. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these cars traded hands for three, four, or five times the amount we can only speculate.

Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale

Santa Claus is a Germanic thing, and the Wiesmann GT MF5 looks (sort of) like a sleigh with its long hood. It has classical curves, and comes in red. It's also got a great deal of space through the back hatch and it now has eight, turbocharged reindeer from BMW.

Subaru BR-Z, probably in grey or dark blue.

I think that Sweden actually does fund some enterprises based on reported performance and an assessment of such funding in-line with a given agenda. We were studying this in my international accounting class, where one model described Sweden's accounting as residing in a class of its own (distinct from that of other…

Was the majority of trading done by a few, large institutional investors? That might make the existence of insider trading more obvious. If the vast majority of market participants made decisions based on some sort of information then it's hard to say that was insider trading. There could have been any number of…

Yeah, I don't understand the logic in the story either...

Individually, yes, you can often get screwed, especially if you have no idea what you're doing. I wouldn't have any idea what I'm doing, and that's why I leave it to the professionals in the form of mutual funds. It's these capital markets which can make our comfortable retirements possible. Yes, I won't say that,…

Oh, ohh, I know! Let's have the government make decisions about which companies should receive capital, and then make decisions for them as to the "efficient" use of those resources! That seems to have worked so well in the past...

I'm 22 years old. Slightly more than double that figure would be 45 years. Starting next year, the 1967/68 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale will be 46/45 years old.

I feel the same way about cars. I'm not prone to being a "fan-boy" to one particular manufacturer, or even one genre. I love them all. I'd probably have a very diverse collection similar to your own given the requisite funds. However, I don't know if I'd update all the mechanics of some of my classics - that's…

True, true, I feel like our quality of automotive journalism pails in comparison to theirs. I always plan to buy a U.S. subscription, but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of $200.
