Whatever happened to this? Instead we got this...

--snip--

You can't be that unobservant. Obviously the 2011-2014 Charger shares a lot of styling cues with that concept.

if you were just a tad less arrogant, you would have noticed I posted a picture of the first (production) generation of the dodge charger. Yes you are correct on the 2nd gen LX charger using SOME styling cues. But I was specifically talking about the first generation LX charger. How about learning about the wonders of sarcasm before rushing to correct everything I post and throwing insults like an immature kid

That concept looks uglier than anything Dodge has ever produced.

I somewhat agree.

The overall shape of the car looks nice but the front of the car could've been improved drastically

It did look way ahead of its time (accounting for the blandness of cars in that era)

With some updated interior, and a few more small exterior changes, It would look like a car that you could realistically see on the streets now

 

What do you think about this?

 

Cadillac ElMiraj Concept car. Saw it at the autoshow back in January.

The exterior looks great, but it also looks realistic (which is what concepts heavily lack the most)

I had to sell my '96 Dodge van yesterday. It was the last thing I wanted to do but I had this storage place for it but in the last minute I didn't get it so i had to sell it. I really liked that thing, it was really cool to drive. I'll have to get another one someday.

Just heard what happened to Andrea de Cesaris. RIP

Dude. SM.

 

I'd love one, but they are rather expensive. And I'm afraid, rather unreliable. Although more reliable than Italian sports cars of the era, but that's not saying much.

 

 

Still, since I posed this post, I have become more and more certain I want a Citroën SM. I just need to try driving one before I decide. Fortunately, I know a few people in Denmark who owns one.

I remember that van well (We had the Plymouth version) we got rid of it about '02 and started the whole leasing thing

New upgrade to the Tesla Model S. Now it's faster, both acceleration and top speed wise, AWD, and a couple neat features. It does mention that the new upgraded Model S will have auto pilot and auto parking. Going to be honest, I don't like auto pilot. that much. Sure, if you want to lay back and take a nap during a road trip, then sure. But self PARKING? Kind of weird. The car is the fastest electrical car I've ever seen. 0-60 MPH (0-96/100 KmH) in about 3.2 seconds.

Teslas are quite nice. Sad thing that there is only 2 charging stations in my state and I live near none of them

If Tesla wants to boost sales in places other than California, they really need to do something about their charging situation

Im fairly confident that a lot of people (who can afford) a Tesla would get one if there were more charging stations

 

Also This car looks great in person

I agree. I've seen no charging stations where I live at all. They're nice cars but seriously, once you're out of power, unless you're near a station or home, you're f**ked lol.

 

I like the Fisker Karma. It's a nice looking car. Too bad one of them got covered in ugly chrome paint.

Destroy it with fire

 

If you havent seen one up close, it is a large car

Here's a (rather attractive) size comparison to average-ish woman height

also as a bonus

I played that game so much on my old PS2.

"Mercedes-AMG" instead of "Mercedes-Benz AMG" i think mercedes did a great job.

 

Now AMG is the model and (example) C63 is the serie.

 

There is already a:

AMG C63 and AMG GT. Looking forward to a longer list.

Best movie car partnership is Jackie Chan and Mitsubishi imo. Every stunt he and his production team do is always 100% real film, no CGI.

Have they ever starred a BMW in Fast and Furious? I'd figure they star M1's or M3's in the first two.

 

Edit: I remember an M3 being in 2 Fast 2 Furious in the scene where they're going into the car park, I think it was wrecked into the water barrels on an off-ramp

Fast and Furious 6 used multiple E60 M5's and one F10 M5. Of course the F10 didn't get messed up but the E60's did.

That's not to say the time in between isn't worth watching!

 

The ending was a remarkable shot haha. Jackie Chan movies are so amazing, I wish they would become popular again instead of this fake Transformers and Superhero stuff.

Were there really BMW's in Fast and Furious movies? I don't remember any.

[epoxi]

 

There was this one in Tokyo Drift F&F4. There were also a bunch of 5-series in the most recent one but it's not really a movie about street racing any more.

It was actually F&F 4. But yeah, it looks nice.
