      @BritsnSwedes-was-MINIGTI Those are the base MSRPs listed on their websites. I have no idea if dealers are at all keen on ordering the base models, or selling them at MSRP with the car market still a bit crunched, but I did seem some on cars.com in that range.

      I clearly don't look much at these cars as I had absolutely no recollection that the Passat and Mazda6 had been discontinued until I went to look for mid-size offerings from VW and Mazda (I'm not shocked by the 6, it's an attractive car but it's also a design from 2012).

      @RacinBob said in late night oppo:

      It was like a modern CRX without the CRX-Si.

      That's one of the things I hate about brand managers is their brand purity. I am sure there was a discussion about having a CRZ Si and that someone killed it saying we need to be consistent and that selling CRZ's as high efficiency commuter car is all they need to do to be successful.

      How did that work for you Honda?....

      @Urambo-Tauro -- "Liked by people who like it"?

      Unlike these two, who appear to be running right past it toward their own car, parked somewhere off camera, at a considerable pace.

      I like the rounder, cutesier original more, but love seeing stuff about aircooled VWs that didn't exist here. Just so good and weird. Like staring into an alternate universe.

      It was only meant to fill a gap until 2003 when it was to be replaced.
      Wiki sites need to manually open doors. But I can't seem to find other reasons other than there is other reasons.

      Many are Class 221, Super Voyager units or Class 390, Pendolino units.

      @pip-bip Very cool! I always liked late-80s Chrysler stuff....I know it's terrible, but some of them had some cool styling.

      Also, K-cars may have been bad, but they also ran FOREVER. Friend of the family had one back in the day that had like...400k kms on it before he replaced it!

      @Ad-absurdum-per-aspera Combination of Kaiser-Jeep and American Motors not being totally flush with cash, and competitive realities not really compelling a redesign, either - the 1973 Chevrolet/GMC Suburban lasted through 1991 in North America and 1996 in the other America, and the original Range Rover spanned 1969-1996 (though it didn't arrive in the US until 1984, and, by then, the wood paneled Grand Wagoneer had become a major status symbol selling to the most affluent customer base of any US brand vehicle, so American Motors would have been dumb not to keep milking it as long as they could)

      @pip-bip -- Nice choice for Women's History Month, if you take a close look at who's driving and who's trying to keep up on a horse. Hemmings has an interesting related take on the car's origins.

      There is something vaguely reminiscent of the 2CV in that bodyshell, right?

      In 1935 Le Corbusier and his associate (and cousin) Pierre Jeanneret submitted what they called the Voiture Minimum project for a "design the next small car" competition organised by the French equivalent of SAE, la SocietΓ© des IngΓ©nieurs de l'Automobile.

      https://www.cardesignnews.com/concept-car-of-the-week/concept-car-of-the-week-le-corbusiers-voiture-minimum-1936/24910.article

      Their *Voiture Minimum" did not win, but it must have caught the eye of some members of the jury who were CitroΓ«n engineers. So much so that in 1936 it went on to have a considerable impact on the design of the TPV or toute petite voiture ("very little car"), CitroΓ«n's internal code name for the 2CV.

      Further, one of the engineers in charge of the TPV was a certain André Lefèbvre, who had previouslyy worked with Gabriel Voisin; and Voisin himself was also a friend of "Corbu"...

      @Svend my wife and I traveled to Malaysia and walked around the tower, it’s quite beautiful at least in my opinion. To me the best parts of the city were the food (of course!) and the Islamic Art Museum which was absolutely gorgeous. I don’t think my wife would go back since she’s more into nature and the rural life, but I loved it and I’d definitely live there

      I still remember, as a child, being mesmerised by the asphalt as it dashed beneath my feet through the large hole in the front passenger footwell of my mother's enthusiastically but incuriously flogged Datto, circa 1978.

      i feel like these cars are unloved. people are falling over themselves these days to get old porsches, and that includes to some degree the 944 and 968. but this never comes up and i never see them on the roads

      @pip-bip It looks like they are trying to mimic the shape of the mountain, but that car looks more like a plateau to me….
