Can someone honestly tell me why the Golf Sportsvan wasn’t/isn’t available here in the US instead of the Tiguan? I really want to know.

Special mention: Danny Hart, Champery 2011.

Came here for this, and the Testarossa to 512M atrocity. And on the Honda front, the ‘02 facelift of the NSX. Blech.

I think the previous version looks more like the 456. I was backpacking around Spain in the late 90s and was walking around in Tarragona when I spotted one. It was parked in the middle of a small square and I got the rear 3/4 view first. It was red, and awesome. It was like something out of a commercial.

Two instrument cluster options!?!? Oh please oh please.....

Good catch. I'm limiting my thinking to petrol only.

Spy shots from the upcoming George Lucas reboot, “American Graffiti III”!

IIRC the four-pot in the 968 was the largest displacement four-cylinder motor (three liters) in a production vehicle. I could Google that but I’m just going off of grey matter here.

Cool! I will be there in five weeks. I’ll snap some pics and post ‘em when I get back.

Dumb question: are those solar cells on the roof? Seems like they should be, right?

In my worldview, calculus explains everything. Just as in this example, the accumulation of small changes over time ultimately become macroscopic.

So cool! I just noticed this car for the first time last night while watching the flick, though I have seen the movie many times.

I was just watching it last night and noticed the Mirage for the first time - incredible!

I love when a QOTSA song shows up in the morning news here. 3s and 7s? Crank it to 11!

The hell is the purpose of that? I don’t even...

Anyone have figures on the environmental impact of the production of new cars? I am certain the pollution has come way down but just because a Prius is all shiny on the lot doesn’t mean Toyota didn’t belch CO2 and nitrogen into the sky, and puked toxins into the water just like every other manufacturer.

Nirvana is real punk rock. More like Insane Clown Posse or some hideous country.

Every other year in Washington State, until the car is 25 years old, then it’s exempted.
