Apple green Grifo? A rally 911????!!! A freaking Alpine A110???!!! And TWO Stratos??? Dear god, is like a dream come true. Now all I need to do is get a few million dollars in the next couple of hours...

If I remember correctly, the Niva is full-time 4wd (aka AWD) and the bigger transfer lever controls High or Low gear and the smaller one locks the central differential for 4wd. But it has been a while since I've seen one of them.

Toyota killed it because for the last few years they've been selling less than 20,000 units a year. The Wrangler sold over 150,000 units. If Toyota wanted a real Wrangler fighter I think a removable-top, 2 door 4Runner is a much better alternative than the FJCruiser was.

Question about Option 1: once a vehicle is certified it counts for everybody, correct? so anybody could now import a 1990s R33 GT-RGT-R and as long as they add the side markers, etc... is legal you don't have to crash test, etc... anymore?

But... according to current Jalop creed AWD doesn't help at all! And any car will do just fine with snow tires.

That's a pretty solid list. The only thing I would add is:

Nope, missed your other submission. Disregard my post now.

Does the LFA really count for the 00's? Production didn't start until 2010, I know that they started development a long time before that but I'm not sure it classifies as a car of the 2000s.

If you are going to go that route, the Ford GT did it better.

As much as I like the DS, and as painful as it is to watch it rot; that would be better described as a money pit than as project. Assuming there is no serious rot underneath -and a couple of the shots make it seem like there definitely may be- you still need to deal with the oleo pneumatic system. And the engine. And…

Nicely done.

Take it to a track where you can legally go 100mph?

Good video. I like how the Liberty is pretty close to getting stuck too -a bit more gas, keep spinning those tires and it will get high centered.

Is like they took a design team from the late 60's and gave them modern engine technology. Is what every muscle car dreamt to be. A middle finger to fuel economy, safety, sanity... Is... glorious.

I know it is fashionable to rag against AWD on Jalopnik these days, but the meme has to end. AWD helps in poor traction situations. Exhibit one: RALLY CARS. No, it is not a substitute for good tires but it definitely helps. Lets quit being stupid.

Is it me or it borrows a lot from the final battle of The Last Airbender?

That may have voided his warranty.

The price tag is probably my favorite part of it, because it reinforces the absolute batshit-craziness of the whole thing. Is a 500 that costs about the same as BMW M3. Why does this car exist? Because FIAT doesn't give a fuck what you think. Bravo, signore Marchionne, bravo!!!

This seems way more practical than that silly Hyundai you posted earlier.
