For anyone trying to keep score, it’s pretty much a tie across the board, regardless of car. Plenty of Camaro, Stang, and Vette crash vide on YT, but there’s also a slew of ones where people wreck Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, you name it. I watched one full of Viper crashes last night.

I generally like the style, though those rear light housings are a bit too 1950s retro Americana for me. And if you didn’t know what this car was called and only glanced at the rear end, you’d swear it was a Ferrari.

My vote for V12 sound goes to the Enzo/FXX. Screamiest V12 I’ve ever heard, though a Tubi’d Countach is pretty close.

V6s just sound like less robust V12s. You can hear the character of a V6 in most V12s, and vice versa, just like you can hear the character of a V10 in a straight-5, or how racing straight-4s sound like less robust Ferrari V8s. The main, difference to my ears, comes down to displacement, and the extra 6 cylinders…

Interesting how the Kwid appears to handle the test the poorest, but was not the lowest scoring vehicle overall. I agree with others: one would think it very difficult for a global make to engineer a car this bad in 2016, but clearly it’s possible.

That looks like an offset crash test, though. Were they doing those frequently 15 years ago? Did the federal regs call for it?

So just find an early 90s Sentra and you’ve got it.

You can seriously tow a factory, legally rated 6,000 lbs with one of these?! That was probably the maximum a C/K1500 would tow at the time. Makes some amount of sense since the V8 was at least as powerful as what was in the trucks, but a full-size wagon that can tow 6,000 lbs might as well be a covered pickup...or a…

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…

While you are correct I think Fartsmello Anthony is simply taking umbridge with the idea that humans can’t figure this out. He’s not incorrect in pointing out that as a species we’ve figured some amazing things out, most of which have occurred in the last few hundred years, and many things which past societies would…
