The Primera works if it's returned to being an overstuffed Sentra rather than a low-budget G.

The fact that for the most part, they don't sound like luxury cars?

I think that it'll end up looking sort of like the C4 back end, which isn't a bad thing. As long as it stays nice and clean, that's what important. The squared-off circles managed to work with the car a lot better than the C5's ovoid lights did, IMO, at the very least. I'm still a fan of good circular lights, but…

The GT-R was the first car to come to my mind when I thought of circular tail lights that just plain don't fit.

I'm not sure exactly what the mode would be for doing a circuit of the provincial/territorial capitals, but I can't imagine it would be for the faint of heart.

No, you're not the only one. Those fender bits definitely look like old Focus trim.

It's not that Suzuki didn't have good products, it's that nobody knew about them or where their dealers were located. My neighbour loves his SX4, but he'd be the first one to admit that he fell ass-first into buying it, since if he hadn't seen it on a Chevy dealer's used lot and been talked into a test drive, he…

If it's the same part between a Chrysler version and a Mitsu version, Chrysler dealerships can usually provide without problems. One of my coworkers had a '99 Eclipse, and he always ordered through Chrysler since they were almost always cheaper for the exact same piece of hardware, and could get it to him faster than…

Mitsu sells craploads of RVRs, Outlanders, and Lancers where I am (Alberta (Edmonton, specifically) ). Eclipses aren't uncommon either. On the other hand, I've only seen a handful of non-motorcycle Suzukis on the road that aren't dilapitated Grand Vitaras...

It's not just you. Infiniti owners are by and large have the same attitudes of the guys that drive heavily lifted F350s and F650s on city streets. Also, they explode wonderfully if you call their rides a Datsun.

You're right. With that much hood, and the fender lines, they do almost work. I wonder how well the fibreglass up front is holding up, though, considering how close the front tups of those lights get to the bumper.

Why would anyone ever modify a car to have hideous last-gen Celica headlights? I've never looked at a classic and said, "You know, those headlights aren't nearly reaching towards the windshield enough."

True, but upselling from a Honda to an Acura is probably easier than upselling from a Ford to a Lincoln, considering the massive improvements that Ford's been making in their lineup. Acura's also got a 7 car lineup to Lincoln's 5, with the Acura lineup actually including cars that somebody might want (ILX and TSX,…

I'd say that Acura needs more help than Lincoln. You can occasionally hear good things about Lincolns, like about interior quality or such. The only press Acura gets is how hard they suck, and how they continue to suck beak.

This, so hard. It's like someone said, "Yes, I'm looking for the sportiness of a Prius, but with the seating space of a ForTwo. Oh, and make sure the trunk's not too big. I used to have a Fiero, and I was always losing things in that abyss under the hatch. And make it a hybrid just like those swanky Escalades I…

It looks way better in person. I`m not a fan of pinks, but this one looks like fine silk when the sun hits it. I`ve had to paint this colour a few times in the shop, and I can think of fan worse colours. And even far worse pinks.

You're not alone. Infiniti has always struck me as a brand whose design language was solely, "let's see how generic we can be while still making things look awkward." The current G is actually fairly clean compared the rest of the Infiniti lineup, but obviously they have to change it to try and follow Lexus and…

No. That wouldn't jive with the new Nissan design language, since L-shaped headlights and taillights that reach for the front/rear glass are too expensive. The only way to make it work at the price would be to mount the headlights at the same point as the traditional place of windshield squirters in the hood, which…

While this is obviously just a get-rich quick lawsuit, I hope it succeeds. Stupid rich fucks think they own everything and everyone, and can get away with just ignoring the law.

The Celica has a successor, though. It's the Scion tC, continuing on where the last Celica left off in everything but name.
