Nice work on the panorama of gauges, too. The Golf Harlequin of dashboards: make sure nothing matches!

More and more hints in the press that the sad little man is going to get what he really thinks he needs; a new coach. What he really needs, what the entire Washington team needs, is a new owner.

3rd Gear: Fiat's $2.5 Million Bond Goes Up Just as we were all expecting, FCA will fund its five-year plan with a $2.5 million mandatory convertible bond.

Ford may have ended production, but no one can kill the Crown Victoria.

Might be a good idea to remove uneaten snacks from the a/c as part of the post-flight tiedown procedures.

I missed any pictures of the MIG-15s up into the sky. That young pilot on the simulator must have hacked the Kinja database and deleted them, so we wouldn't know if they could still get things up.

Thanks!

Vocals just a beautiful, but no credit given. Anyone recognize the singer?

Especially when you slam it: weirdly practical.

28K is feasible. Seems it was a run-around-town vehicle, he died about four years after buying it, and if it was sold to collector types the mileage could have been kept down...just saying'.

Haven't we seen this before? Tom McParland did a great article on it last year ...oh wait, that was a ten year old Audi, with a bit more horsepower.

The 1994 A8 was a completely original all aluminum design, not just a bigger, more powerful version of the midline series. The subsequent generations held to the same theme. The Audi V8 was positioned for the same market as the A8s that followed it, but was a totally different car. Except the engine.

Agree. I had an '80 manual until my ex took it. Wasn't near as slow as a neighbor's automatic, mine was fun to drive if you kept the tire pressures up. NP, of course.

As a Westfalia owner I regret voting CP, but not by too much. If you can't read between the lines this thing is air-cooled. The price is similar for slightly newer Westies, like say an '84, which would bring you two things: 50% more horsepower (still not enough but whatev) and more important, working heat and…

Here's my choice for a red mid-engined sports cars at the bottom of the depreciation curve, plus its about ten years newer. Maybe not so perfectly anal, though.

Sorry, it was not an honest question...just another reference to how old these creatures are.

What are those things on the front part of the engines?

Seems like a setup. In the video, the Panamera is driving toward the camera several times, while the camera is waiting on the road. In a real spy shot video, I'd mostly expect to see the vehicle driving away into the sunset.

Wait, I forgot my iPad in the seat pocket!

The most serious rival for the 911? No doubt about it:
