Went to a restaurant at a resort on top of a mountain for Christmas brunch today....there was a gorgeous black and red '12 Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca parked next to a black 911 Turbo in the lot...

Well, you can definitely say the Juke looks like nothing else on the road...very distinctive design.

Well, the Mustang and Camaro are sporty coupes..different niches...in mainstream sedans, Ford and GM are FWD only, unfortunately.

The doors on the Anycar (color pic) appear to be '64-65 Falcon or Comet.

I'm sure the design will be toned down in the details before production and be on the Genesis platform...nice to see Kia doing a RWD model, rather than more FWD appliances.

Wierd...I wonder what the story is w/ the first one..looks like a mashup between a VW and a 4dr 57 Chrysler..and why is the name of a S. African bank on it? And the plastic hubcaps really are a great touch.. not.

I do wonder how GM markets Cadillac in Europe or China..never seen ads from those markets...do they emphasize the American nature of it?

IIRC from an article in CA, it was mid-year addition for the LeSabre. It was in an article about how GM bought the V6 tooling back from AMC. Also, from Wikipedia: The '76 LeSabre was the only American full-size car with a standard V6 engine, which was Buick's brand-new 3.8-litre (231 CID) V6 engine. The V6 was only offered on the base-level LeSabre and not mentioned in initial 1976 Buick literature issued in September 1975 because the V6 engine was a last-minute addition to the line. The 350-cubic-inch V8 was the base engine on the LeSabre Custom and the 455-cubic-inch V8 was optional. Both V8s were optional on the base LeSabre.

I think the Benz emblem is on the black Benz sitting there in traffic beside the car w/ the mirror.

The modern 'mog isn't as cool as the old ones....pretty utilitarian but likely still very capable and rugged.

Cool..there used to a dealer in Colorado the sold used imported 'Mogs and Pinzgauers...

I don't know what the blue thing is w/ the Ohio plate, but those look like Contour headlights. What's up w/ the giant antennas on the Aussie utes?

I wonder if there is going to be a V8 GS this time...

Hmmm...a prop for the next Austin Powers movie?

Looks like a prop from that crappy prison racing movie from a couple years ago

Took a different street this morning and saw a couple oddities---a metallic medium blue early '50s Kaiser 4dr sedan in a driveway, and across the street from it, a white '67-68 Chevy extended cab pickup---someone must have made their own extended cab in the past, the truck wasn't shiny but well worn and white w/ a pipe rack..

Clever.

Sweet...love those funky '61 B-body sedan rooflines w/ the wrap around rear glass...

There is a 2011 9-5 on ebay now BIN price 39500.

Would be cool to have one just like that along w/ a black '89 Town Car as a pair.

Sweet..has the ubiquitous white steel wheels that were so popular back in the day...my Dad had a set of those on his '79 Dodge Power Wagon that I learned to drive in.

I'll have to ping one of my old bosses in Denver...4 years ago he and his wife were an all SAAB family...had late model 9-5, 9-3 Combi, 9-3 cabrio...

It's a street car, not a race car..there was no legitimate reason for the idiot to disable the governor, and that probably voided his warranty.

They need an apple green also..another great '70s Mopie color.....

I bet people that did pay that much for a new 9-5 have some serious buyer's remorse right about now....
