The Spark and Aveo are built by Daewoo - the Spark wasn't even sold in the US until 2010.
You guys know there is an automotive sub forum for this kind of shit.
Jesus christ, would you guys shut your goddamn mouths about cars?
You Eurodicks don't know shit about a good American car when you see one

that blue car? no way in hell that ugly motherfucker is american[/QUOTE]
It's a Ford Ka. And I agree, it's a strong candidate for the fugliest car in the history of mankind.
All western car is ugly, like Rovsniek, town retard. Only good car is Tajik пенис, two liter engine, superior to easily break Generals Motor and Mersedes trash
Luckily the fire from the car didn't spread or this would've be a lot worse.

the lions are so fucking docile in Longleat I doubt they even woke up at all during the event. They are forever sleeping or hiding from the public. I don't think a strange metal object erupting into a fireball will make them want to come out and play.. On top of that, park wardens are always stationed in the lion enclosure because of events like this. Part of me thinks the park wardens being there makes the lions so unbelievably mundane..

+1 to this. Although this is a pretty close contender:

So did you guys hear about that car that caught fire at Longleat?
How about that?
[QUOTE=JaffaCakez;44587126]What car was it? Toyota? I ain't buying that shit.[/QUOTE]
What the hell are you on about? Why would you assume it was a Toyota, and why does one car catching on fire render all of the brand useless? There isn't a single car brand in the planet that has a car fire count of zero.
The title alone made me laugh, how can somebody's luck be THAT bad.
Also, you car guys really must hate trains because this thread is dee-railed.

i dunno i guess people don't like their car catching fire whilst driving it, crazy right?

Then you're shit out of luck because, like I said, every car brand has had cars catch on fire.
Ford? Some of them have caught fire. Dodge? Yup. Kia? Yup. Nissan? Yeah. Opel? You bet. Tesla? Yup. That Mercedes bus you ride? Yes.

yes, but some catch on fire more than others, and if one has a reputation for catching fire, then yes, the brand is useless. I don't understand why this is a difficult concept for you.

No brand has the reputation of catching fire though, and implying that one does just because one time in the news they said one burned up is stupid.

[QUOTE=download;44587090]Pretty certain the fire and nasty smelling smoke would keep the lions away[/QUOTE]
I think they are more worried about the lions breathing in the toxic fumes from the burning vehicle, not the lions attacking people.

A bit of a correction on this one, because it bugs me.
The car he posted is a Buick Lacrosse, the only thing it shares with the Insignia is the General Motors Epsilon II chassis. They do look similar, but when looking at the details, there are quite a few things that set them apart.
The car that you are thinking of is the Buick Regal, which is almost identical to the Insignia. It shares the same chassis and same body, with just the grille changed along with other branding.
