I'm sure it'd work for AOTD.

I want whatever Tadanori Yokoo is having

Amazing.

Interesting indeed: it's basically Toyota Europe acknowledging that their diesels aren't any good, and BMW publicly stating that those hybrids they've been messing about with aren't up to much.

Ah yes; the pushrod. Every global petrolhead's favourite Yank spank implement.

As noted by others, the Citroën Xantia did have active suspension in the '90s, and some C5s and all C6s continue to have an evolved form of it. IIRC, the main difference with later versions is that the current versions do allow a degree of lean because keeping the car completely level under lateral acceleration…

Great stuff.

First the poor E20, now this innocent Beta.

Heh. To further the local conditioning; i glided over the bit about examination. Since only two people were mentioned, I immediately assumed it was the instructor + student doing some instruction. AFAIK, in NL and UK you'd normally have student + instructor + examiner in the car with an exam (certainly the case with…

All of which presupposes that the applicant brings the vehicle. Don't know about Chile, but you can't do that in Europe...

Wankel engine

According to Autocar, the naming is even weirder than outlined above: it's a Scion FR-S in the US (which we knew), but just plain '86' (hachi-roku; hence the badge in the video) in Japan, and GT86 in Europe, and possibly everywhere else

Good to hear I'm not the only one. All go-faster dents and steroidal wheel arches must die.

Well, same here (English is not my first language either, my partner's first language is Japanese), but that sums it up. Except that ms. tapz objected strongly to the use of oishii in relation to a car. You know how it is with food in 日本 :-)

Or, better yet -IMHO-, the first gen. civic that stands next to the red and white shed.

That's the issue in a nutshell, isn't it? The source article of that pic said that it had 190 bhp. Out of an 8 litre, petrol V8. That's really quite poor, by any objective measure.

Very interesting QOTD. It's extremely easy to go for something that one constituency or another hates with a passion, but is actually pretty good at what it was designed to do. I'm looking at you, Toyota Prius and RR Phantom Coupé.

Fair point- I can imagine.

Utter madness. The Chilean government needs to pull their finger out and build a jetty, like now.

They do have traffic police, it's just that their business model is to facilitate rather than prevent this sort of behaviour. Mind, the tariffs are likely inversely proportionate with your ability to pay (and/or your ability to project extreme violence, which boils down to the same thing). These guys are likely waved…
