There's an alternate universe out there where BMW bought Saab in the midst of its bankruptcy (not that far-fetched since the new ones were going to use BMW engines).

The 2nd-generation 9-5, as a dyed-in-the-wool Saab guy it was heartbreaking to watch it all pan out. We a spent 2007-2009 gawking at test mules and eagerly awaiting the first all-new, mostly-Saab product in almost a decade. This was supposed to be the car that pulled Saab's sales out of the gutter and keep the…

The X-type wagon, a remarkable improvement over the middling original, and a handsome and practical little wagon in its own right. A shame then that it was outsold by the likes of Ferrari and Bentley.

You beat me to it

The problem with the SS is that the venn diagram of "People who want to spend $50k on a RWD performance sedan" and "People would even think of buying a car from a mass-market domestic manufacturer" has next to no overlap whatsoever.

GM. No question.

What's depressing is to see how something that feels so recent can look so dated.

No love for the old Bugati EB110's engine?

Things are already looking pretty awful for the rural poor (or any poor, really) over the next century because of the rise of the knowledge economy. Right now there's plenty of job growth if you're well educated and live in a city. The rural poor are neither of those things, and no matter how you cut it, the…

An instant classic, and a rare glimpse at Mercedes' really letting their hair down, paving the way for things like the SLR and the AMG Black series.

Mercedes 190e 2.5-16 Evolution II, because understatement is overrated.

This looks like the perfect thing to replace my 9-3 Aero 6MT sportcombi in a couple years.

While I love the FR-S/BRZ, this just drives home the big "what if" idea of a the Toyota/Subaru partnership producing an affordable, boxer-engined, mid-engine sports car. With the small size of the Subaru 4, it could have even been a 2+2. A Lotus Evora for the masses. Call it the MR4.

Phenomenal engine, absolutely indestructible in stock 8-valve trim, found itself powering everything from tractors to sterndrives, and capable of massive power, SR20 or 4AGE-level power in either 8 or 16v turbo form.

I see you and raise you one with the B235 from the Viggen and my old 9-5 Aero.

There's a parallel universe out there where the Prowler got a real engine and proper handling and we're now all anxiously awaiting new photo leaks to see what the 2015 model will look like.

You forgot stinky food and carry-on items.

You forgot the 2002 Lincoln Continental

My idea was an epi-pen autoinjector that doled out IM Ativan or Haldol. In addition to being extremely helpful for managing seizures and rapidly sedating unruly psychiatric patients, it could be great for controlling out-of-control kids.
