Dare I say it, the “new” first-gen 300C (04-10) looks better than the current one, especially in SRT form. Lines are crisper, the rear end cleans up better. I just wish the prior model had the current model’s interior and drive train. Then it’d be a perfect RWD American V8 used car.

The problem with the Aztec was its dumpy ass, first and foremost. It’s other styling problem was how tall it appeared. I just didn’t have the right proportions. So many other crossovers have since figured out that issue.

I’d have to disagree about the 3000GT being a tech and style leader. It was the heaviest of all the Japanese GTs, and other than active aero (or the decidely rare but quite expensive at the time Spider hard top), one or more of the others had the same features. The 300ZX TT had HICAS 4WS and its own trick 3.0TT V6…

I would disagree. The Diamante was pretty legit until the 2G model. After that is languished terribly while having less power and features compared to the competition. But I had a friend in high school whose parents had one, and I remember being unexpectedly impressed by it. It had some trick features, and while I…

ROFL

I would say the jury’s out on MPG for the new Ridgeline, as the 3.5 has never been an angel in that department. When you get down to it, the loaded Ridgeline is as heavy as the larger crew cab-long bed GM and Toyota trucks, so I’m guessing the mileage in all situations will be similar.

YES! Mine was exactly like this except for the exterior color and wheels.

I once owned an ‘87 Maxima SE 5-speed. Bought it in 1999 with 188k on the odo. Great freakin’ car. It was underpowered for sure, and the Bose multi-band equalizer stereo put out a grand total of 4 watts, but I loved the hell out of it. Wish I still had it. It did not have tufted button seats, though, thanfully, as I…

“If a front-drive unibody Honda can’t put down impressive fuel economy figures, I’m just not sure this segment of trucks is going to catch on.”

Please explain how paying for things thru taxes makes them “free handouts”.

I think you should thank conservatism for that kind of question in response, since everything conservatives don’t like is automatically labeled “socialist” EVERY FUCKING TIME, and has been since the Red Scare. And just telling me you’ve done the research doesn’t mean dick until you’ve shown you actually have by either…

It’s craigslist so buyer be heavily aware, but based on its stats, it sounds like it’s worth something, and ultimately, probably what’s being asked for it. Not even the 1993 Cobra R had nearly that much hp or tq. In fact you had to step up to the ‘95 Cobra R to get more power than that. This is a tuner special with…

This generation of Porsches is already one of the best ever, especially in terms of styling. I think the interior has come out of the doldrums and into the modern age in terms of its styling and build. I also love the floating Porsche name in the back. It evokes classic Porsche styling while giving an air of the most…

Unsurprising. Parts trickle-up has been happening for a LONG time. Has everyone forgotten that GM’s automatics drove Ferrari 400/412 wheels? Or that the SBC is essentially a truck engine powering the Vette? Or that the 351C powered the Pantera? Hell, some really expensive cars have had interiors that were far worse…

Kinda funny how it’s sooo clean that it’s a suspect purchase because it IS so clean.

I don’t see the Flex as a minivan though I see why people think of it as one. At least it’s a minivan you can get a 365hp 3.5TT V6 in, which is about 70 more hp than the best new Chrysler Pacifica has, though the Flex will get crap MPG.

Ya, these are appealing as a second-hand buy because their value is crap and you can get full-tilt models for dirt cheap. As old as it is it’s somewhat hard to argue against picking up a 3-row crossover with 290hp for $20k, especially since in this reality it’s possible to option up an ancient Lancer to $28k Monopoly…
