It could had been interesting if it was adapted for an episode of the anime series "Ex-Driver".

Time to repost that "educationnal video" about how to be polite with the police by Chris Rock. ;-)

It take character and flavor away from other countries. I even miss the old Checker cab.

Yes :) Ford and GM should sell these ones in the US and Canada. And bring the smaller "utes" as well currently sold in Mexico like the Chevrolet Tornado (aka Montana in the rest of Latin America) and Ford Courier.

New way to "Pimp my ride" I guess? ;-)

Also, the platform of the Renault 12 became the basis of a Brazilian Willys model who'll became a Ford once they bought Willys-Overland do Brasil in the late 1960s who became the Corcel.

Exactly, however Dacia made a pick-up version then Renault didn't made. Picture from http://www.planetedacia.com/1628-histoire-dacia-et-ses-voitures/1641-anciennes-voitures-dacia/1109-1310-pick-up-break/

A bit off-topic but I wondered if things could had been different if Toyota had continued to use the Cressida nameplate instead of Avalon? The Avalon didn't got the sales of the Cressida.

I think Warren Buffet might react the Homer way. ;-)

By seeing this Scion TC 8.0....I guess Aaron Robinson from Car & Driver was right: it's might be time to let Scion out to pasture. http://www.caranddriver.com/columns/aaron-robinson-its-time-for-toyota-to-kill-scion-column

+1 for the Cien and add the Sixteen in the mix. :-)

Hudson "Step-down" woodie wagon? http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2012/06/25/one-of-none-step-down-hudson-woodie-station-wagon-to-cross-the-block/

We could also mention his role in Convoy in company of Ali MacGraw and Kris Kristofferson.

I guess here in Canada, the Passat only arrived in 1989 and the model who precedeed it, the Quantum wasn't sold in Canada.

No, it was the 1st one. The 2nd-gen arrived in 1994. The main difference was the addition of a front grille.

VW tried also with the bigger Passat back in 1990. 2 decades later, it pays off finally with Motor Trend COTY. Here a vintage French-Canadian ad of the 1st-gen Passat circa 1990-91 broadcasted in Quebec.

I guess these bears have Yogi Bear as their mentor. ;-)

These bears are smarter then the average bear. ;-)

I agree. NP :-)
