This is a crack pipe, even without the sketchiness surrounding the car. It’s a $10k car all day long, god only knows what shortcuts were taken in the build, and even if it is legit, this car has been passed around more times than my sister.

I’ve seen the “I have a baby, so I need a new car” used more than any other to justify buying a newer, bigger car. You do realize that a baby is roughly the size of a football, right? Even with all of the required accessories a baby requires (diaper bag, stroller, car seat), a MINI Clubman is still more than big…

Ooooh. You're so tough, too! :::swoon::::

Probably a one off.

While I would agree that something seems off here, a group of Australian testing engineers making up fake results (when a Ford rep was likely present) sounds more likely to be bullshit to me.

They actually do. A radio wave is electromagnetic radiation, which moves at the speed of light.

gay reeducation camp in Cuba.

Damn. I was hoping my kids could go to transgender bomb making school in Iran.

Big miss on Ford’s part, if that is the case. You would think they would put the car through its paces before sending it for a testing session.

Spoken with the hubris and presumption of someone who has never left their home country.

While the Mustang passed a brake test at the police driving academy in Goulburn, the car’s automatic transmission, , which is a requirement for police vehicles,

What percentage of Mustang sales do you think are fleet police deals? I would venture it is somewhere between "miniscule" and "tiny".

Big difference between a 12ish second drag race and 3 sustained minutes.

Still, in this day and age I am also a little surprised.

I am an unapologetic “bang for the buck” buyer and always will be. Of course, I can acknowledge that at certain price points (such as high performance supercars), that ethos goes out the window as you are valuing something of such rarity and level of engineering that it is essentially a work of art and the intangible…

My great grandfather died in 1964 at the ripe old age of 94, meaning he was born just after the Civil War. He was a blacksmith who shoed horses into his late eighties and was one of the toughest SOB's you would ever meet. He thought cars, and therein carbs, were the pussiest thing in the world. All about perspective.

I don’t know about a “huge commercial success”. According to Wikipedia, their last album only sold 320,000 units in the USA. I realize that album sales are down in the digital age, but their previous albums sold upwards of 3million to 15 million in the US alone.

Shocking that while Elio was seeking investment they would employ product reps to polish the turd.

“just the powertrain”

I want one of these just so I can constantly refer to it as the “Friggin’ Viggen.”

"Kids! Shut up and get in the Friggin' Viggen!"

you left sexual predator off your list.

Take the best bits of yesterday’s snoozemobile (4wd, Japanese, inclinometer) and remove the worst parts (insane price, skull-numbingly boring) and you end up with this Montero. Okay, it’s got a few incomprehensible dents in the back from god knows what and the leather interior looks like if Bernie Sanders spent too…
