It's like luxury. Only small.

The world needs more compact luxury city cars. I love the idea.

I'm surprised there aren't more luxury city cars over here actually. I do see a lot of A1s and high spec 500s though.

If ti weren't badged as an Aston Martin, and were cheaper, would you be okay with it?

I was thinking about this recently when I couldn't fit the C5 in a parking spot. The world needs something 1 series sized with Lexus LS levels of luxury (That's why I love the CT200h)

I see an insane amount of Brabus Smart cars here in Paris. Pretty ridiculous.

What? I can't hear you over 19.2 feet of freedom.

That's true, I just never thought there would be so many. I probably see at least three or four parked on the street on my walk to school, if not more passing by.

How is it that the above lincoln has an engine bigger than the entire Mini, yet still makes the same 208 horsepower?

My buddy with a 500 Abarth says it has economy car roots, and I'd agree with him.

Thank you. Stupid idea, bad execution, and extra pillows! Fuuuuuck me running.

While it looks really nice, based on the time I spent sitting in one, shit's like really creaky and not nice. It feels a lot like sitting in a Disneyland ride vehicle, in fact.

Yes, yes they did. In this case, 460 v8 =/= fast

Really? Wow. I'll have to take some pictures for you the next time I see some. I saw two parked next to each other today.

Not luxury. Recycled luxury .

Because the US mandated emissions controls and unleaded gas long before the technology existed to really do it right.

(Or, long before the automakers were willing to spend the money to do it right, either way).

Maybe, but only if it is priced at Mirage price levels.

if they put a real motor in the ct i'd buy one in a heartbeat. I was so disappointed when I looked it up that its just a tarted up prius. Stick a v6 in it dammit!

I'm sorry, I can't hear *you* over 19 feet of freedom with straight pipes and seating for 6 or sleeping for 2.

Mother of god, she's beautiful. Olds 98?

She was a '76 Delta 88. Sadly, I had to sell it a couple years back.

Last I knew of it, the new owners never registered it (drove it with plates from something else) and got it towed. I got the letter about it sitting in a private impound lot in Milwaukee with $1200 in impound fees. Don't know what happened after that.
