They did the charger a favor, at least you can still have it in a V8 ( even with 700+ HP)
Remember when all you could get was a 2.2L I4 with FWD?

[QUOTE=Xron;51744907]Wait, so is the fact that they're reviving the eclipse fake or is the car being revived but it just doesn't look like that?[/QUOTE]
One article claimed to have called it an eclipse and people took it and ran with it.
[url=https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/sacrilege-mitsubishis-next-suv-could-be-called-eclipse/]Source[/url]
[quote]What's most odd about this car, though, is its alleged name. AutoExpress originally published a story from an early drive of this SUV's prototype, and it claimed that Mitsubishi would call its new utility vehicle the Eclipse. Yes, the same name as the sports car of yore.
The article has since been deleted, which means AutoExpress may have accidentally given away too much information. Either that, or the outlet is way off the mark. I and many other enthusiasts hope it's the latter, but both are equally likely.[/quote]

That's when you ditch the Solstice and get the Sky, which is the same car with a better body.

Idk why, but it looks kinda weird with that much ground clearance and being a sporty coupe.
Probably just me.

I just love cars that celebrate the Jet Age like the Chrysler Turbine.
Here is a Fiat Supersonic also a car that celebrated the dawn of the jet age, based on the already pretty Fiat 8V and fantastic bodywork by Ghia.

Very limited numbers was made and the last time these things went on an auction it was sold for about $1.8 million.
Jumping back to Mitsubishi

The 3000GT vr4. Not the prettiest car, but it was fun as hell to drive. My dad used to have one, but sold it awhile back because it started to have some problems and it just wasn't worth the money to fix.
Why drive a simple car when you can drive a bomb

Pre-'73 Chrysler had the best muscle cars hands down.
3000GT? Problems ? Expensive ? Who would've thought
Just stopped to realize I actually kinda like the look of my dad's car
[t]http://cloudlakes.com/data_images/models/peugeot-406-break/peugeot-406-break-10.jpg[/t]
Multiple car mechanics have already said it's not exactly a reliable model, but I personally think it looks pretty good and it does drive really damn comfortable. I take driver's lessons in a Mercedes-Benz B Class from 2012 and the seats are bloody [I]horrible[/I]. For the short time I've driven the 406 with my dad it actually feels like I have a bond with the car.
406's are comfy cars. My parents had one that I used to drive in.
Then I got involved in a traffic accident, causing the engine to tear off the hinges in the engine bay and getting totalled.
All my life I've hated pickup trucks, but lately I've been wanting one so bad, idk what's going on with me

Thats the only Challenger that exists imo.
But without the spoiler.
The way the front looks is downright perfect. And Driver really reminds me of it because it has a few cars that look like it, or are pretty much based off of it.
Theres also an old movie about a guy that gets in a chase with the cops with a Challenger, and in the end dies, that further cemented my love for it. It just looks so badass AND good, at the same time, with no highs and lows for one or the other...

I've went for a drive in the '06 406 belonging to my mate's girlfriend, and damn that thing is confortable. Good space aswell, and it even has a panoramic roof. It's fucking awesome, but I wouldn't get one because I just don't like the styling. And yeah, most german cars don't feel that confortable. Or at least not "3 hours straight in the same seat" confortable, and just "30 mins max".
My '00 A3 is admitedly way less confortable in every way, but I'd still prefer it over any Peugeot. Then again, I'm crazy about overpriced VW--I mean, Audis.
