Would you rather?

[phil bell]

If I was given a choice, I choose neither. For the price, I'd still pick the Ford Flex.

Exactly, the Flex is a no-brainer in this price class in my opinion.

 

[JAHHAJ]

I guess I would take the Town car.

CRX vs CR-Z

I'm actually a fan of the CR-Z, though I'd rather it not be a hybrid.

^ Well, I have good news for you. From the awesome guys who de-Hybrid the Insight and turned it into the epic K-Sight. LHT is currently offering its K-RZ Pack!

Here's a car comparison you may have to make in sixty years, in Florida:

Cadillac Deville, front wheel drive but ample power.

Lincoln Town Car, V8 rear wheel drive combo that car enthusiasts never shut up about, but not quite as powerful.

Or the Japanese alternative, the Avalon.

^ Neither! I'll pocket the extra cash and get this instead:

- Seats 9 for all of my kids & grand kids. More than most Minivans!
- Better gas mileage than most CUVs & SUVs.
- LT1 Corvette-based Engine.
- RWD, DeVille/DTS ain't got that.
- Makes the Town Car feel like an F-150.
- Wagon, which the Avalon will never be.
- Jalopnik, /DRIVE, & Top Gear US Approved

Nsx-t

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Avalon, definitely.

 

[05XR8]

I'd choose the Caddy. It has the look and no one really cares if its fwd. I went on a Trackday when the Northstar engines first came out. They just smashed the town car. Handled good too. One of my friends had an Avalon and a couple of co-workers back in the day. ZZzzzzzz....

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Deville v. Town Car v. that other thing

You probably don't have to ask me which one I'd have, but even if I chose from a completely unbiased standpoint I'd get the Lincoln.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Peugeot 208 GTI (£18,895)

Renault Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo (£19,995)

Ford Fiesta ST (£17,495)

I'd pick the Fiesta.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Fiesta as well, please! I don't know anything about the others, anyways...

 

[JAHHAJ]

I'd also take the Fiesta.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Fiesta.

 

[Slash]

Agreed with the Fiesta.

'76 Corvette vs '76 Bricklin SV-1

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Corvette. Never even heard of a Bricklin, and I love the C3 'Vettes.

 

[05XR8]

Corvette. Those Bricklins were similar to the Saab Sonnet in looks. Saw a lot in NY back in the day.

The Clio is awesome. The Fiesta looks so right. Clio for its shape( don't like the 4doors though)

 

[MiuraSV777]

The Bricklin was assembled in canada with a ford v8 (changed your mind josh? )

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

^No.

 

[Slash]

The Bricklin was assembled in canada with a ford v8 (changed your mind josh? )

1974 had AMC 360s in them. 1975 and 1976 had 351 Windsors. All are mid mounted engines. Power output was about the same between both cars. Corvette had the edge in horsepower but the Bricklin had the edge in torque especially in the lower RPMs. Plus the Bricklin has gullwing doors.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Town Car, Fiesta, C3 Vette

 

[Doog]

Well, I have good news for you. From the awesome guys who de-Hybrid the Insight and turned it into the epic K-Sight. LHT is currently offering its K-RZ Pack!

Peugeot vs Renault vs Fiesta

The Peugeot doesn't look very nice, and Renaults don't interest me. The Fiesta looks much better, is cheaper, and will certainly be great to drive.

Bricklin vs Corvette

The Bricklin is odd looking, which is pretty much all I know about it other than its ability to be rammed into anything at 5 mph without denting. Fascinating. The Corvette is much better looking, is probably faster, and is likely more reliable, not having gullwing doors or coming from an upstart company. And parts availability save the engine is probably much better.

And a choice between four cars that will get you beat up:

Nissan Stanza Wagon

Toyota Tercel Wagon

Eagle Summit Wagon

1st generation Prius

Peugeot 208 GTI (£18,895)

Renault Clio Renaultsport 200 Turbo (£19,995)

Ford Fiesta ST (£17,495)

^ The Peugeot is promising but meh, the Clio seems like a neutered mess. I'd pick the Fiesta (although we don't get that cute 3-door here in the US ).

Agreed with the Fiesta.

'76 Corvette vs '76 Bricklin SV-1

^ I've never liked the later C3 Corvettes. I'd pick the Bricklin.

Nissan Stanza Wagon

Toyota Tercel Wagon

Eagle Summit Wagon

1st generation Prius

^ Hmm. Since I used to have this:

-> My pick would be the Tercel (especially if it has 4WD).

^ That (stupid) Prius will go straight to the cash-for-clunkers program, so I could get the Fiesta (see above).

 

[05XR8]

Where's the 6-speed Real Time AWD ciVic Wagon?

I pick the Tercel Wagon, by the way.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ I know, right!? Maybe it went passed over his head.

BT -> FB gave me an idea!

USA - Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

AUS - HSV R8 Clubsport Tourer w/ Supercharger

GER1 - Audi RS6 Avant

GER2 - Mercedes Benz E63 AMG

 

[phil bell]

If the E63 is the NA 6.3 motor Id have that. If not, CTS-V wagon.

 

[05XR8]

E63 period

 

[spikeyhairdude]

WOW AUS - HSV R8 Clubsport Tourer w/ Supercharger

 

[Murcie_LP640]

If the E63 is the NA 6.3 motor Id have that.

Considering the little "BITURBO" badge on the side I'm guessing not.

I'd pick the HSV Clubbie with Walkinshaw supercharger by the way.

 

[AudiMan2011]

CTS-V vs HSV R8 Clubsport vs RS6 vs E63: I'd go for the Holden as it's the biggest estate car on sale in the UK and it's being sold here as the Vauxhall VXR8 Tourer.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Prius, Merc.

 

[phil bell]

Considering the little "BITURBO" badge on the side I'm guessing not.

I'd pick the HSV Clubbie with Walkinshaw supercharger by the way.

The pic wasn't there just now mate.

Would you rather have a

1986 Toyota crown , well kept garaged and only 95,250 km on the clock

Or




A 2009 Lexus LS460. With. 320,65 km on the clock
