My point exactly, you want quirky, go to le master de quirk, the French. You want plain, you want 80s Americana or 80s/90s Japanese. Everyone made lots of everything, but Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda mastered a plain Vanilla beige car. My 91 Honda Civic was like the generic drug of sedans. Plain angles,…

No, it just looks plain now. In its time, it was a 21st century space capsule from the planet Xedoarkcastronia.

Got to go with beige, can anything French be considered plain?

Italian models mess with a man's head.

The v6 is incredibly cheap AND they made it good on gas. That had to come from somewhere, you can't get 30mpg from a car made like a truck.

Honda and acura are beiger now.

The Delahaye was gorgeous, like a city skyline, and I'd never seen it before. Bravo!

I'm just a madman with a box.

I think Volvo will be ok. They're a foreign luxury brand that can legitimately claim to the Chinese that they're Chinese. The Chinese market is too new to notice little things like outdated platforms. And their latest styling exercises are so hideous they must be for the Chinese Home Market. It's basically aiming…

For all those tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists, the CEO of GM is now barely aware of the effect of oil prices on his company and sells an electric car.

Salesperson-addled buyers will wander around Alfa/Dodge/Chrsyler/Fiat/Jeep/Ram/Viper dealerships feeling that they've already comparison shopped. The size of the signs will blot out the sun and…

You can write Acura news, but that doesn't mean that I can read it ...

What does $500 get you in a car purchase? A set of floor mats. I'd rather the ipad.

Meine Gott, It's full of niches!

Yeah, my dad got me a cavalier wagon. sigh.

~clears throat~

She's the boss!

"Even with the alienating top-down view, and the pitiful by modern standards graphics, Spy Hunter really grabbed you. Of course, it made you into a bastard, but that was part of what made Spy Hunters so great."

The P1800 is one of those dated designs that can't be updated. And volvo concepts have been terrible. They've lost all style since the Chinese took over. But that doesn't matter, it probably plays well in Shanghai. sigh. I love their new s60.
