Can't believe this is the first mention of Kraftwerk's Autobahn. This is the canon, folks!

TBH, three door wagons were quite a common thing in Europe right up to the '80s. 

Now look what you made me do.

Can you hire people to wrangle your rogue autonomous car back before one of these guys gets it?

European here: “good old school-of-hard-knocks lesson in the dangers of populist governance” are unimaginably, catastrophically awful.

I was thinking Grüner Veltliner- Gmünd is in Austria, after all.

The Trueno of Truth.

But they control for different sample sizes by simply looking at the average number of breakdowns and their cost per car. Beyond a minimum sample size of 50, it doesn’t matter how many cars of a particular type they have on their books.

That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it.

And as a follow up to that appetiser, the plan was to make this:

That F stands for Fiat, and that’s an Italian company, with headquarters in London. So is a Jeep an American car brand? Or an Italian one? Or British?

I suspect it's the weight: the 2CV is the lightest, the Ami the heaviest by far.  I was surprised by the many Méharis though: the oldest was only four years old at that point.

The C1 may not have the charm, but look at that price!

Top Nouvelle Vague Jalopnik, with a side of funk.

Trouble is, they’re running out of cheap 2CVs and Meharis. So they’ve recently introduced C1 racing. The C1 is Citroën’s version of a subcompact design shared with Peugeot and Toyota. It’s got all of 68 hp, but it weighs little. Crucially, you can have a race ready shopping trolley for about £3000.- ($4k)

...while every BMW from antiquity to the early 90s had round ones.

since it will be Volvo’s first American-made car

That does make a lot of sense, not least because aluminium body panels on a steel structure can easily lead to galvanic corrosion. It’s what ate all those gorgeous Touring Superleggera bodies.

Finally, the salted streets of New York did me in. The entire car was made from aluminum and it all just rotted away.

So where does Peugeot’s venerable three* number scheme fit?
