The little black car was turned to scrap...and the owner made it out...

My mother just bought one of these. Of course because we don’t live in North America...her HSE got the 3.0L twin turbo V6 diesel. She swapped out her 2011 HSE spec 4 for it. The depreciation was spectacular.

I recall doing this one mildly drunken night whilst at university to a housemates BJ40....it took that long to get the top off that we were sober enough by the end of the game to go for a drive. I spent the following hour hanging on the internal roll bar in the back of the thing, mildly terrified of falling out,…

Buick LaCrosse keeps coming up although there’s some that suggest a four door Camaro is not stupid (it is).

Holden weren’t expecting to sell many and have budgeted capacity accordingly. Raising the capacity budget would cost more than they get out of the car...

e-Musk has said in the past that Tesla is basically a battery company. Licencing out the battery tray makes it a sensible way to sell more batteries...

Most ‘shared’ vehicles of the future will probably city based two or three box economachines...much like todays Mitsubishi Mirage or Toyota Corolla.

Hey Mazda!! Someone just stole your 6...

Looks like a GMC truck and a VW Toureg got together and made hideous babies...on the Island of Dr. Moreau

Fuck me....that yellow thing has got mumps!

Do you think he’d make me one with a Zetec engine rather than the geriatric Fiat engine it had/has?

One wonders: what if VW pulled the pin on VW NA and Audi NA and Porsche NA and other of its NA businesses? Sure it could come back quickly with its niche high profit brands via new entities...but why not pull its mainstream presence from NA for a while to rebrand and relaunch (Fiat.Alfa style?!) given the grief that…

For a little while longer they’ll do a dual cab 76 with the single turbo diesel v8...

VW should be forced to buy Takata. Is that penalty enough?

Nope. Still basic. But the seats are much better these days. And the new-ish V8 diesel that is the only engine available means they do get along the road and gravel much better than they used to. I’d have one any day over one of the similar American offerings. Shame that you need near AU$70K to drive even the basic…

Errr...the Toyota does that for you these days...

You might want to try and explain to the readers about the intracies of the Singaporean automotive registration system so that they get a clearer (maybe?) picture of how things work in Singapore and why this particular incident is a big deal...especially when one considers the stratospheric cost of owning and…

In the Australian sense (and as an Australian)...I am unclear whether to call this a ‘Rice Rocket’ (typically modified 4 or 6 cyl Asian vehicles) or a ‘Street Machine’ (typically anything with a V8 in it)...therefore deem a new category is required...”Street Rice’?
