Brick red Jetta Mk II 2-door with black steelies and a seemingly missing muffler. Haven't seen or heard one of those in forever.

Jetta coupe never materialized, now this... could have been very sweet.

Scary idea. Alpha to me is more mass market than a top line sports car should have as its basis.

Happy Birthday to longtime member and Oldsmobile Aurora owner Croc. Have a good one, sir.

Here are three images of what I was referring to. These are referred to as coupes in the description, not 2-door sedans. The maroon one is a Business coupe, the red one and the period illustration are referred to as 4-passenger coupes. This is why I love it, it pulls pure elements from different eras and puts them together in a brave new way, to make a thoroughly modern, true coupe.

Female designer. Aluminum body. Limited PRODUCTION, not a concept. This is an interesting one.

I prefer the vertical bars to the delicate, milquetoast horizontal situation they switched to. With less overall vertical height, I think the vertical motif could have stuck around. That concept is sexy, and maybe one day, One Ford will see fit to join the Falcon, Mustang and a Lincoln sport sedan on a new RWD platform.

dfelt, don't forget some serious, non-blingy wheels and performance tires, upgraded suspension, driveline, brakes and exhaust system. reg, you're right about the Forester v. an Equinox/Terrain. I think the best way for US citizens to get their money back... is to support the home team, any of the three, but especially GM/Chrysler. Walt, been waiting to hear a long-term report. Nice to hear you still like yours after a year of ownership.

Oh and about this kissing thing. FORGET IT MISTER!

Drewbert, please let us know how the fuel mileage is with the 6 cylinder. When the Terrain first came out I thought it was small... now I think it's big. I have an aunt & uncle looking to replace their '97 Blazer (bought new, still in excellent shape, I don't take after them, ha), and they mistakenly believe these have no room in the back seat. I told them it slides fore and aft a good bit, they were surprised. They are still mad about the bailout, and currently like the Forester as a replacement because of its excellent visibility, handy size, and the fact Subaru did not participate in the US government bailout (duh, they're Japanese, I'm sure their government helps ensure their success, at least at home). I am trying to steer them away from the Forester and toward an Equinox or Patriot... the bailout is still big in their minds, however. Funny, since the bailout I've had a Colorado, Fiesta and Patriot.

Terrain Typhoon has a sexy ring to it.

I would travel to Philadelphia to see the 130 in a heartbeat. I wonder how I can find out if it's gonna be there.

Very decent looking design study.

I keep looking for evidence of white paint, but all I see is blue. Does anyone see an original layer of white?

Not a question, just some commentary: when the new 2.5L finds its way under the hood of these, it will make the 3.0 less necessary. They'll need a more powerful 6 cylinder at that point. 3.6?

Hi PCS. Link to your avatar picture prease.

Excellent news for SUV fans.

The one on the building looks like a Fiero kit car, even has Pontiac wheels.

There's another maroon off to the right in the silver thing.

These "natural food" stores are going just a tad too far to get people to spend a buck.

Whoa I think that first one is based on a Rabbit, too!

It cracks me up when stupid criminals post photos of the stuff they stole. Clearly those are someone else's trophies.

Must have been taken 10 years ago. Newer version was taken in stadium.

"AIM HEADLIGHTS" usually pays .3. Looks like it still needs done. Otherwise

I'm actually thinking about getting a plate that says, simply... "THING". Understand?
