Opening office windows would be futile. From what I understand, a Jalop ideas meeting involves hotboxing in a Yugo, which is in the office.

It heard that the Lancer was to be lanced and realized that it was punching way above its weight and had been for some time. Poor little thing has had it’s confidence knocked down. I’ve always found a good bit of limter bashing at the track helps this sort of thing :)

Despite liking it enough to buy it, having a Rav4 means you feel the need to specify that it’s a V6 Sport (!) AWD. Says it all, really.

So I’m guessing you guys don’t get the Pathfinder?

Geely has thrown money at Volvo and left them largely to their own devices, so long as they help develop EV stuff for their economy products.

and hated the RC

I suspect that they’d be happy to break even on this one. It screams of brand building rather than profit generating.

How I long for another Japanese economic bubble

Think of it like a Jager bomb.

Setting a car up by rotating it on entry is not drift. Rally cars are always loose, like a slow pendulum.

Was going to say COTD, but this should just be the first comment on all posts.

When the Audi 80 became the A4. The 80 was clearly a Passat with some nice stuff, but the original A4 was a very smooth and classy looking car at the time. I think this is where the differentiation really started and Audi got it’s signature. And it’s signature ass-hat drivers, though they’re all in Camrys now. 

So he lied about what he owned. He clearly has a Camry.

The Commodore is being replaced by the Insignia in Aus soon. So what, they go to all that trouble and expense for one generation of car?

You’re spot on about their relationship with Holden. Our Astra in the 90's was the Opel, then they started selling South Korean stuff and building the Cruize here.

Can confirm, these are fun to hoon. Needs to have the B16 VTEC donk that we got over here. Steering was always oddly light in these, though.

Surely the pedestrian survivability (is that a word?) of a frontal impact at 10mp/h, with full oppo applied is the only real concern.

Uuuuuge

Does nobody believe it would be beneficial to keep your enemies close?
