I keep hearing of the Germans coming up with solutions. Will this be the Final Solution we have been hearing about for years?

Keeps the Sex-factor?!?!?!?!? The Model S looks like a cheaply-done XF knock-off redesigned for increased utility, at best. The ‘Tesla’ name may be sexy, in that ‘Conspicuous-Consumption without the guilt’ type of way, but the car itself is quite bland.

Eww...I’m a finicky, strange bastard and the charts are predictably lacking. But of those actually in the chart the only two I’d be inclined read about regularly are the Citroëns and the Integrale.

To be fair, it’s apparently from their equivalent of the Colbert Report / Daily Show / SNL ...

Funniest German film since forklift driver klaus.

You’ve owned American, Japanese, German, and Italian. That leaves a few possibilities, but I suggest British. Specifically, a Morgan. There is nothing more British than a Morgan.

The whole article is very fishy. You have to know Auto Bild is very heavily VW-biased. In every comparison the VW is the winner, doesn’t matter what you put it up against.

Promising to bring back COTD then failing to maintain daily status.

VW emitted about 3,000 excess tons of nitrogen oxides in Southern California alone over the past six years, which may or may not have caused as many as a dozen or more incremental deaths but as this extra NOx is only a drop in the ocean of overall NOx emissions we haven’t got the faintest idea of what if any harm has…

All lots of good suggestions, but there’s one European car that is the ‘90s for me:

SAAB was always doomed, GM just prolonged the inevitable. the problem with SAAB was that they played right in the most saturated, hotly-competitive market segments. a “little bit of quirkiness” isn’t going to sell a lot of cars.

105 places huh? So basically they have to start midfield in formula Renault, and work their way up through F3, gp3 and gp2 first?
