I'd nominate peri peri sauce. Remarkably versatile and damn tasty.

As a wagon owner for that very reason, seeing that sentence applied to a Highlander SUV really ruffled my feathers.

No post E46/E39 BMWs for me, sorry. Sad how a great company just lost its way, but that’s “progress” for you...

Ah yes, forgot about Tatra. The Chrysler Airflow however had a much higher Cd than both Tatra and Saab IIRC.

The ‘46 Ursaab is the grandfather of aerodynamics, achieving 0.32 at a time when no one else gave it any thought.

Funny how most people hated the “futuristic” digital gauge clusters back in the 80s, yet now totally accept all the screens. I accept digital fuel and coolant temp readings, but nothing beats watching those analog speedo/RPM/turbo gauges move about. There’s a strong case to be made about the jewelry aspect of them as…

I’m just relieved to know that I’m not the only one who has erotic fantasies about Antarctica's outline.

Having drove a friend’s Flex a few times, can confirm it is NOT a wagon. Felt a lot more like a minivan. I own a Saab wagon and the Flex comes nowhere close in terms of handling and ride height.

Rear looks like the new Macan.

I wouldn't mind 2 or 3 SUVs/CUVs in their lineup but there are far too many and the M versions really tick me off.  They're the reasons we dont get 5-series wagons anymore.

*Sigh* These articles reviewing dumbass 500-hp crossovers/crossover coupes, Sports Activity Vehicles and the like just make me sad for what BMW once was. Guess that’s “progress” for you...

As a former ‘00 323Ci owner, I agree with what you said. Too unreliable and boring to really make an impression on me. Not a bad car, but it was just very meh. Never understood the hype.

Our family car back in my elementary school days was a ‘90 Grand Caravan LE with the 3.3L V6. Beige on beige with the requisite wood paneling. My dad stubbornly hung on to the thing until about 180K miles despite the transmission slippage that began around 120K. It just refused to die.

Reminds me of when I sold my E46 BMW. Listed it for $5000 on CL and this one guy kept sending a $3500 offer every 2-3 days like clockwork, throwing in every excuse possible. Also denouncing the car which was “clearly” not worth more than $3500 to anyone and that I will never sell it for more. I only replied to his…

My mildly tuned 9-5 wagon does 0-60 in about 6.5 (thanks, FWD) and 40-80 in 6.1. I also have a base Macan that does 0-60 in 6.3 but the 40-80 takes 7.2. The Saab feels much faster in real day-to-day driving and passing situations, yet if you looked at 0-60 specs, you’d put your money on the Macan.

I firmly believe that the current trend toward SUVs/CUVs and declining coupe/sedan/wagon sales has been largely driven by women. Not being sexist or making gross generalizations, just looking at percentages. 95/100 of women might prefer an X3 over a 330 wagon while perhaps only 80/100 of men would do so. There’s a…

Is that a Mitsubishi Diamante? (Damn, I need a life)

This is the correct take. My first car was an E46 323Ci. Looked cool, was safe and comfortable, yet too slow to get myself in trouble and cheap enough to not worry about parking lot dings/dents. 

A car is subject to the laws of physics, so how the hell am I supposed to press the correct touchscreen button while the car is moving? A switch/lever/dial/knob/physical button is far easier to grasp while driving, not to mention the tactile feel prevents me from taking my eyes off the road. I love my touchscreens,…

E46 M3 or 996 are the only correct answers here.
