And Direct Exhaust Injection. And electric Superchargers.

11. VAZ's Volvo 240 Knock Off That Inspired a Secret Diesel Rotary Miata Wagon Prototype.

Devil's advocate here: perhaps those three colors are the cheapest, since VAG no doubt buys them in quantities rivaled only by Sergio's sweater orders. Hence the 20k price.

For real though, the FF Sportwagen needs to happen.

Awesome article! But...who the hell is Guigaro?

It's a car video in which someone does something stupid. Of course I was watching for the Viper.

That lack of a question mark at the end of the last sentence though.

Disclaimer: I own a Milano...

This is a nice, clean, 80k mile car for less than $2000. The fact that it is also a five speed turbocharged convertible are all just awesome bonuses.

Technically the CORRECT wheel for this year, but certainly not the RIGHT wheel.

You need to go to Cars and Coffee, first Saturday of every month. The great thing about the Lane is that they actually DRIVE the cars at the museum, so at the last C&C they brought a Lamborghini Uracco, a Renault Sport Spider, an Evo 6, and IIRC the Honda Beat. They brought the Lancia Delta Integrale and a Renault…

A university is really the ideal place to do this though, and I'm surprised that many students haven't taken to living in old, small campers and parking them in the university parking garages. Showers are readily available at the gym, internet is almost always free campus-wide, there are plenty of places to hang out…

Grrr all this talk of 912s makes me want to finish up the restoration on my '66. I got it (or rather was given it by a coworker) in boxes so I've never had a chance to drive it!

Agreed. I've always liked that it managed to be the fastest production car without taking on the very cool but ubiquitous "supercar wedge" shape. While not necessarily beautiful like the Bugattis of old, it looks confident but restrained.

I started out working on old cars (I still do and still love it). I've worked my way up to working on more and more modern cars, and you know what? They're simpler.

But...I don't feel like a moron.

You know, I say this at every Cars & Coffee when someone does something stupid, and it never fails to be true. The person acting like an idiot is ALWAYS in a late-model American car. Even the young tuner kids are generally pretty well-behaved, but Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, and Corvettes...god, the Corvettes...

You, sir, have opened my eyes. I'm off to find a turbo 9000. Thank you.

Did you just say "fragile" and "60's Benz" in the same sentence? Are we thinking about the same cars? I mean, these are the same guys who made a tiny two-seater convertible that weighed OVER 4000lbs.

This is actually the base trim level of the next-gen Cayenne. Porsche will then charge you $276,900 in options for it to NOT look like this.
