Looks most like a Honda Element to me, but hard to imagine it will be as good....

Ooh, look at the “flying” radiator cap!  There’s some engineering right there!

These and MGs are really sweet and might be fun if you want a project with less expectation of driving joy.  But for actual joy of driving, albeit with far less beauty, there’s a Miata for every price range.

Putin also benefits from the US in disarray.

Don’t let the door hit you.

California air quality is an issue- it has a lot of people, a lot of cars, and air it trapped against the mountains. You can champion the ship emissions issue but it doesn’t negate the acts of our insane leader with regard to... everything, nor the need for coherent, progressive regulations. You are grasping at

Yeah, there is some very good, well-documented reasoning behind California’s air quality management, and it has nothing to do with Trump. Other cities around the country were similarly polluted, but CA took the lead to keep people from dying, as well as to benefit tourism, orker productivity, and many other reasons.

Cladding like a Pontiac!

A good take, as is Jason’s. I am mixed too. I think most of the value and interest is legitimately in this being the proto-Porsche, despite the Nazi association. But once you know about it, or Michael Jackson, or Woody Allen, or other people, it can be hard to separate the beauty of creation from the ugliness and

My old BMW 2002 would accelerate for no reason, and I was acually having to put my foot under the pedal, and finally my hand, to slow it down. Turned out it was broken motor mounts, something I didn’t realize was a wear item, and the engine was kind of sagging and revving. A terrible, poorly maintained car that I

Does anyone really know what time it is; does anyone really care?

I never noticed it either!  But really tired of the low res Porsche- the Camaro does look like a rad drawing by that guy in the back,which I like.

I see trucks carrying Teslas on I-80 all the time- never seen a Tesla truck. But if there’s only 2, maybe I missed them.

It will also be a CUV.

A lot of people care about climate change- a much smaller group care about Porsches.

I have a Vanagon without A/C- I go into the cooler mountains in the summer where even if it’s hot, it cools off at night. If you want to tour the kitsch in the southwest, do it any other time.  You sleep in a Walmart in summer, you’re gonna get burned.

A good point lost in a wrong first sentence.

Praise be.  I thought cars could use more chrome and maybe the wheels were a good place for it, but it’s never looked good.  But then I like gold wheels, so I thought I was an anomoly.

This would be a fun trophy- weekends, autocrossing, etc.  Seems worth it for a version I’ve never seen.

I pined for an AM radio in my mom’s VW Squareback. I was still thrilled every time we went for a drive.
