  1. TIGHT WHIP!
  2. Cool, but the body color windows are gross, make them 90% tint or just black them out.
  3. I like the current WRX, Edsel grille and all, I don't even mind the Tribeca but this horribly ugly piece of $h! scares me. Now I'm glad GM dropped Subaru like a hot potatoe. Disgusting. I was hoping that this was going to be one of those times when I'd be in the minority and might like the new Impreza/WRX but one look at that photo and all I can think of is that the Chinese took a stab at a Hyundai Accent.
  4. This was posted already.... crappy photochop.
  5. And as far as WIKI, I think it's about as reliable as those magazines at the check out counter at Stop&Shop... "Bat-Boy and Femi-Sasquach have hemaphrodyte dolphin baby..." or "Narcysystic, claustrophobic, socialist Gweneth Paltrow gets sex change & joins the Chinese Air Force..."
  6. Yeah. Seriously! The TV annalogy is a perfect parallel to what is going on today with the car industry. The biggest differance is that this time, with the Japanese Auto Manufacturers (esp. w/ Toyota & Honda) they also have the media on their side.
  7. The 300C will be remembered as huge step in the right direction for American cars. It's bold, muscular, elegant & unique all while, most importantly: RWD.
  8. BMW is all about the power of the inline-6, I guess this was bound to happen though. What was it Evok said about the V8 being "dead"?
  9. radial & rotary are two very different animals.
  10. Yeah... the numbers are correct. This is why rotary motors make so much sense. Think about the fact that the piston has to go up at those speeds, then stop and do a 180* and it never stops until your key slips back out of the ignition or something breaks. A wankel does not have to stop and reverse direction, it just keeps rotatinng in the same direction. Radial motors are also stressed less since they run in a 360* motion.
  11. It's gotta do something. Like Balthazar said there's no "dummy knobs" back in the 1960s. Maybe on Toyotas & Datsuns but not on a Buick. If there's a knob it does something.
  12. Stratus
  13. This thread aside, Gore is a retarded, hypocritical, annoying egomaniac. And Walt: while we're on the subject, thanks for Starting C&G.
  14. Cool question. Those 7.8 liter V6s are insane.
  15. 1. Yes, an atlas-6 based V12 would be cooler, that's what a V12 is... two Inline Sixes. 2. Much cooler still would be a 4.6L No* based V16 3. Even a 12 cylinder motor calls for a separate model
  16. The rear is what needs it. It's too plain.
  17. Fair is fair. Burn in hell Toyota!
  18. Happy birthday to the resident GermanAmerican & Czech.
  19. "It's pretty much impossible he was going fast at all..." ???
  20. feel
  21. V12? Cool Buick needs a flagship motor.... now give Caddy the V16!!!
  22. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing but NOT one 1st gen. Maxima/810 came up in my search. Did not try 1964 Oldsmobile for obvious reasons and I think I posted STS wrecks in this thread already. This Q45 is about 6 miles away from me... right in Lowell. Rear end... hard Ouch.
  23. The styling is better than ever, hp is up.... quality seems great, Still only a B- from me though! Why? This car should be a hardtop not a coupe! It would be much cooler w/ a B-pillar delete.
  24. Who was it that tacked on a single vertical tail fin on the trunklid on a J30 in the mid 1990s? It was painted up two tone orange or something like that with half moons IIRC. Maybe Pininfarina or something.... R&T thought it was the shizz-nit!
  25. I agree. Good Annalogy. The J30 was only available in a AUTO. IIRC you can still get a 6-speed manual in the G35 sedan. By extension my Datsun is the Great Grandfathedr of the G35. It was the very FIRST sedan to have a Z motor in a sedan with RWD, IRS, 4-whl disks etc. (240Z inline-six with MPFI in a 910 Bluebird with a stretched nose, USA market ONLY)
