I still remember arriving at the Hertz desk on my first business trip to Houston, when the nice lady told me I had a Chevy Cruze she looked incredibly confused when I asked her if anything else was available "because we've got them in Italy too and it would be boring."

I hope it doesn't happen. Every trip I take to the US is a delight.
There seems to be a lot of comment on the somewhat underwhelming looks. I think the R8 is the ultimate stealth fast car. Buy it in black or silver and you fly under the radar. I like this very much, in an era of artificial exhaust backfires (I'm looking at you Jaguar F-type) and excessive aesthetics (Huracàn), it's…
Don't forget brown diesel station wagon.
It takes a very special person to argue that Group B cars were safer than their WRC counterparts.
Rallylegend isn't a rally. It's an exhibition where the drivers are encourage to drive like dicks (because surely that's all drifting really is).
Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresto would disagree with you.
Neutral: Would You Buy A Subaru? If you were in the market for a new car would you at least cross-shop it?
A thoroughly glorious post. Much appreciated.
Why did they feel compelled to make it so brain-rapingly hideous?
I've read a few comments and would like to reply in random order. You don't want to DD a 550, the clutch is ridiculously heavy and until the gearbox oil is thoroughly warmed through you will want to leave it in first because the gearshift is remarkably baulky from cold. Plus these cars need a lot of love and…
Neutral: How Long Will You Keep Your Car? Does it feel old already?
Cafe racers need to die, but they shouldn't be replaced with this overwrought nonsense.
It's nice, but its not €1184 nice. I've got a cheap-ass TomTom that I stick on the screen when I need it.
But, but, this is JALOPNIK! Home of the automatic=evil mantra!
In his defence, it's incredibly difficult to know much about anything when your head's planted so firmly up your own arse.
A gorgeous piece of design which has resulted in a heroically idiotic motorcycle.
Italian offroad racing is madder than most things, this Niva is a great example, however there are also a number of brilliant Suzuki SJ410s with BMW M3 engines. Also, if we're being really pedantic that isn't actually a real Ferrari engine, it was assembled by Ducati as had quite a few detail changes compared to the…
Whilst I agree in principle, I could spend hours watching that roof mechanism.
