Yep, Peter Schreyer. Apparently even Ferdinand Piech displayed regret of losing him to Kia/ Hyundai.

You are absolutely correct, the CSL was limited to 250km/h by default. My memory may be failing me, but I believe that the governor could've been removed (at additional cost, of course) as an option with the CSL. From what I remember (and please keep in mind that this was many years and even more beers ago), you had…

You also have to wonder whether the CSL was governed to 250km/h, like the M4 most likely was. I can imagine 2 seconds being lost on a couple of straights alone by not being able to stretch the M4's legs to its true top speed.

Why can't we just have satnav and rearview... err... views based on, oh I don't know, HUDs perhaps? The tech is there, so why not use it for goodness' sake?

The best thing to do in that situation, if you can't move over, is to just take your foot off of the accelerator. If they back off, then carry on as usual. If they keep tailgating you, keep a good distance to the car in front of you (if you need to lose speed in an emergency situation and the idiot behind you is still…

I think that the problem is that the Corvette has just outgunned the Viper, especially since the previous Z07 came out. I have no idea how much each costs, but from what I read here, it sounds like the 'Vette is overall considerably cheaper. It also performs just as well, if not better, than a Viper.

Wouldn't the optimum degree for the 'V' be 180 for 4 cylinders though? (Yes, that would make it a boxer or flat 4)

I'd probably be somewhere around here.

Well, I like that it would've been a Lotus that wasn't an Elise of some sort. Didn't like it being called an Elan though, but then again, I suppose there are only so many names to choose from if you insist that every model you make must start with an "E".

I don't mean to spam, but thought I'd post one last reply. Here's what I see when I look at this concept (very hasty shop, please pardon the quality):

That's a Volvo, surely.

I reckon you hit the nail on the head. Just add a Volvo line across that grille and it's a definite generic Volvo item.

I only ever got to see one genuine CSL. Briefly.

If I had to guess between the Evora and Artega, I'd guess the Artega formed the basis. The amount of bodywork between the front wheel wells and doors, the length of the roof panels, the point where the windshield glass meets bonnet, position of the rearview mirrors and as pointed out by Elke, the brake calipers, all…

Read this in an old local magazine ages ago.

Getting the diagnosis from the mechanic after a motorist checked his old clunker in for a service, the mechanic recommends the following: "My advice is that we carefully unscrew the radiator cap, hoist it up, then park another car underneath it."

I humbly submit the Datsun 1200 GX Coupe.

It's articles like this that keep me coming back to Jalopnik. Great work!

Completely agree. I actually think it looks acceptable from the front up to the B pillar (although I still think that the headlights are way too big and that there's just too much bodywork between the front wheel arches and the bonnet ...and way too much front overhang), but from there on it just kind of loses…

If someone's driving like an idiot in front of me (like talking or fiddling incessantly on a smartphone or tablet, thereby leaving enough space for a jumbo-fucking-jet in front of them), then I try to switch lanes either to hopefully get past them, or just not have to look at them drive like idiots.

Track: P1. The looks do not do much for me, but I'm interested in finding out just how effective those aero bits really are.
