ARKUS

Mazda did this in 1992, on the 929, with a small fan to exhaust the interior of heat when parked.

Actually, more like “over 50 years”; the C3, launched for 1968, had both removable roof panels and a full convertible.

I love that Alfa ARNA was brought up as a reference here.

My dad used to have sheep on the Carrizo Plain

(How many people even know where that is?)

I was back in Northern California (San Francisco) last week visiting family and was behind a silver Touareg V10 Diesel in traffic and turned to my wife... “There’s a guy who had no idea what he was getting himself into, or a guy with whom I’d entrust a Bugatti Veyron.”

She asked me why and I told her that what we were…

Don’t forget the AWD (private-branded Quattro) Passat W8 6-speed manual...

Arf-arf... Props for the use of the word “props” for giving kudos to Mr. Tracy on his article about prop rods.

Not only that, but Toyota has added a TRD variant to the Avalon.

Jay Cutler sucks?

$10k?

Hell, the standard Quad4's 150hp column is taller than it’s 160lb-ft column... Same thing with the Corvette & Integra HP and Torque columns...

I’m thinking that this is the attempt to recoup the particular investment in the 500X tooling... maybe we’ll get a proper “Abarth” (not named as such, of course) out of this potentially fun little CUV, finally. Don’t bother with the 1.75L turbo out of the 4C, though; go straight to the GMET4 2.0L, and battle the T-Roc…

Agreed, but your mention of a Maserati biturbo resonated with me because it reminded me of the time that a biturbo attempted to overtake me via the outside lane on the onramp to the 105 eastbound from Sepulveda, just before that right lane disappeared and merged into the lane that I was in... I was in a Legend GS just…

There are no “Acura Type R” badges, only “Type R”... the Integra Type R was a Honda from Japan, brought to the U.S. to save/delay Acura from complete character implosion.

Worse than that...

Could they be sandbagging?

Alot of comments about the wing but I actually think the biggest improvements come from what he did to minimize a sense of mass in the rear end, while making the rear overhang seem a touch less truncated.
