While the 255/40 R18 rear tires are great on the 2wd version, the AWD does make sense for customers in northern regions and I was glad Lexus had the option. Second, it’s a Lexus IS! Those cars was so rad all around. It really did do the 300 justice. I’d get one in Black Sapphire. THE best color for IS2500 AWD. Add a good intake and exhaust and that is one fine snow hooning machine. That bump on the driver’s pedal area was a bit goofy tho lol :]

While no muscle car, it did fit well in the growing American compact/ subcompact market. They sold enough to the point where my parents had one in 1990. The red was pretty much a pink by that point lol. Never let us down tho. You’d be surprised how high the water would get and it won’t stall :] Eco box legend :]

how much space does kinja allow? lol :] The great debate with me was always color. Soooo many colors fit the Mustang unlike most cars. I could never decides which color is best for Mustang along with aftermarket exhausts. I was at the drag strip last month and some girl had a 2015 GT with an aftermarket exhaust. Not sure what brand but maaaan did it sound beyond perfect

That engine to start with. I remember I had one in with a bad boost pressure sensor. It was waaaay faster than ever but it had a CEL. One I put a new one on, it went back to normal power lol :] A successful car in all it’s variants, it was a hit for Volvo and it was honored well with the next gen

Little suv from Jeep did very well. Had the familiar styling and ride height the customers wanted. I like these with the accessory lighting either on the roof or with an attached brush guard. It was tight and nimble. I liked that little thing

EL_ULY > Justin Hughes
09/16/2015 at 12:07

wow, that shared platforms with a bunch of cars. Part should be easy to get and cross reference. Although it was an eco car, it was made in a time when it made sense. Doesn’t look entirely bad. If I see one in great shape, i’ll definitely salute the owner. The name Cimarron is so goofy, it’s rad! :]

The one good thing I can say about it is that, unlike a Ferrari or Lamborghini, the Yugo is small enough to where the fire will burn out quickly.

niiice! As A6 owner myself, I think the combination of Quattro in a large estate car is really one would need in their garage. The tech is most likely way upgraded than my C5 gen. More so, it looks very elegant unlike modern Audis

It’s more comparable to the C6. The platform is shared with the VW Passat of it’s time but otherwise the Passat, A6 and Superb shared a lot of pieces with the Superb beating the A6 in many of not most aspects of driving, comfort and value for money. The A6 engines were tuned a little more tighter than the Superb but the Superb is more a really inexpensive luxury car beating also the Bentley Continental in comfort and more legroom.

I drove one at the Houston GP (Indycar) the last time it was here and liked it a lot. The size is perfect for what they intended it to be. Very well made and the drive was great. It wasn’t a go kart like everyone assumes it it but everything functioned well. I thought I knew why they weren’t selling but all those thing were debunked during a really good test drive. Now I don’t know why they are not more popular
