Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

O:

If you fancy something different to a Passat or Octavia, have you thought about a SEAT Exeo ST? Basically a B7 Audi A4, with the cabriolet dash and B8 engines. 140 or 170 diesel or the 2.0T from a golf gti.

Of that era nothing comes close to this IMSA 288 GTO.

Give Up.

I'd skip that era for this:

that looks like a kit car!

or if you must have a wedge

@Ordinata

Wasn't that the ferrari built for a race series that changed the rules and the car no longer qualified.

Jaguar....

With miles per gallon too.

I enjoy the fulvia, on quiet twisty roads, steering with just the finger tips, comfortable seats, beautiful gear change and the sound of the inlet and exhaust.

My favourite just look at the feel of the inside

the countach prototype, shirely?

what was the name of the dude on here who'd old man had the le mans sunbeam?

I think a restored read 'outlawed' 1962 porsche 356b karmann coupe

Funk yeh. The only b worth having.

Isn't it @Hefty on here who has a Mazzer?

Not me. But I do have a story about a 3200GT with whopping running costs if you'd like to hear it?

Group B rally documentary just finishing on BBC 4. Just caught the last few minutes of it, but will try to find it on iplayer. It's called 'Madness on Wheels'.

been watching it it's great. dat r5 turbo....

I think the Metro wins most Jekyl and Hide award of the group B era.

Maybe because it was more maestro ;)

Styled it.

The Ghibli predates it by a year, but maybe :-)

God I love the Bora. I went to a motorshow in the 90s which had a classics hall and there was one there, tucked in the corner of a dealer stand. So dinky and perfectly formed. Of all the cars there it was the Bora that I kept going back to look at again.

Anything by Italdesign kills it imo.

Even this Boomerang.

Look at the mutherfukin dashboard.

Not only do you break the pedestrians legs off...

...you also get a hernia / lobotomy for your troubles.
