I’d agree if this was a W126, 201, or 124, but the NAM headlights for W123 do have an aesthetic appeal and come with a heavy dose of nostalgia. I’d probably swap in Euros if I had one, but they’re not without their merits.

Again, the understated looks wins every time for me when comparing the Type R to its competitors. The Focus RS captures that of the 1st generation Focus RS where you know it offers more than a base model Focus, but it doesn’t overdo it. The STI without the rally wing captures this as well.

The guy in the Type R makes his first argument by saying the infotainment system is better. #millennials 

Sorry. The Civic Type R is f**king hideous. Maybe it looks better in darker colors where the hood gaps aren’t apparent, but it’d still have that god-awful wing and aero package.

This is a great article for cross shopping these cars, which, just in case you talk to my wife, I’m not doing at all.

Used to be that once a car’s owner found a problem on the track, they’d send money to a mail order speed parts company, not a lawyer.

Yep. Just look at the Buick Avista.

Let us reminisce about all the amazing Cadillac’s that they refuse to build:

And those that think the Aztek is ugly, should see the Buick Rendezvous. A couple of days ago I saw a skinny dude in a ragged trucker hat chatting up a lady twice his size in the parking lot of the “storefront” church next to his (or her) Rendezvous. I wanted to take a picture so bad, but it would have been an…

Company’s response: “Uber? I don’t even know her!”

The Aztek scores highest or second highest in every APEAL component measure except exterior styling.”

Thank you. This vehicle did a lot of things right, and, although not easy on the eyes, had a ton of utility and purpose for those adventurous enough to own one. But yea, Miata, Volvo wagon, something something, ugly Aztek.

At least with that Aztek you could potentially live in it too. Pop out tent, yo!

This is the Ferrari Lusso that I want:

Why does it have so many faux-mesh frills (fake grills)? Why? I swore I would never buy a car with fake mesh, but it now seems like it is more popular than ever. Fauxcus ST was the worst offender; sensible RS designers replaced the grumper (grill-patterned bumper) with an actual bumper.

WHAT THE FUCK

What does it offer above the Corvette Z06 which can be had for 15 -20K less with a seven speed manual

Psh, we all know that there are worse ways to be killed than by being run over by a ‘67 fastback. Your last thought would be, “Damn that’s a nice looking vehicle”.

Toyota Century, which is probably not available anywhere that English is lingua franca.
