found this by reverse image searching http://tinyurl.com/dxmctcy it's a Russian forum where it's mentioned that it's handbuilt on a Niva chassis (maybe not the same as a Lada Niva?), but from what frankensteined parts I don't know.

basically some Nissan engineers made this skunkworks Juke for a lark, people thought it was cool, Nissan said it never happened and never will happen, then some Arab zillionaire told Nissan he wanted 2 and he'd pay whatever they wanted, so Nissan said "umm... 2... million?" and he reached in his spare change purse and gave it to them, and then Nissan figured what the hell, we might as well make a few more because there's bound to be more than one rich idiot out there. At least that's how I understand the chain of events.

I found it easier to accept the "face" of the Juke if you treat the top lights as angry eyebrows and the round lights as its eyes.

Nathan Explosion posted:I saw this terrible riced out Civic today. To give him credit the bad body kit is painted and there are two fart cans to fill the bumper cutouts. That's not even close to riced out. Dual grapefruit launchers aside, it looks like a dealer option spoiler and skirts package. Hell, he even mirrored th EX badge, he didn't even try to pretend it was a type-R! It is still terrible though.

anonumos posted:I agree. Donking a modern Comaro is just how its supposed to be done. With the bloated beltline and everything, big tires just make it look better. It's one of a handful of cars that just seemed made for it. (What I'm trying to say is that the new models look like Matchbox toys. To me, the proportions are wrong to begin with.) Dear Penthouse, I never thought it could happen to me, but I think that sunburst orange one actually looks good! (even if it is a 20 footer)

all the talk of gold Veyrons in the other thread had me distracted when a chrome Maybach drove past me today and I didn't have a chance to get a photo. Specifically, this chrome Maybach,  owned by Theo Paphitis of Dragon's Den fame. Actually it's probably more accurately owned by a holding company registered in Switzerland guarded by a level 20 Tax Accountant wielding a Scroll of Protection from Inland Revenue.

AA chat: I was just talking to my dad about bikes and whatnot and he told me to join the RAC because they look out for bikers and always have, whereas the AA don't want to know you if you're on a bike. Which, from what you guys have just said, seems is still the case. It's a little ironic though, because the AA have fleets of motorcycles but I've never seen an RAC bike. And I know you're talking about the AAA, but gently caress RV add-ons for bike coverage. It isn't a recreational vehicle, it's my only goddamn vehicle!

Mcqueen posted:I don't get the ring sticker hate. Do people really think you need to have driven on a race track half the world away in order to put a sticker on what is probably one of the most iconic roads in the world on your bumper? Am I a poser if I have a NHRA sticker but don't drag race? would you put a Whistler sticker on your car because you heard it's really good skiing/boarding out there? Or one of those Spanish bull stickers because Spain seems like a pretty cool country? Car stickers like that are like personal advertisements you put on display to say "I have been to this place" or "I use this product". Putting them on when you haven't been to a place or don't use a product is like false advertising.

BoostCreep posted:My old roommate who ran marathons talked to people with that sticker all the time. is that what that referred to? I thought it was inches of wheel diameter or inches of suspension lift or something. I think I'd rather strike a conversation with someone sporting a "meat is murder" sticker. Those runner types are weird.

Motronic posted:Ford is notorious for this. There used to be a Ghia trim level at Ford UK that was the deluxe model, so you had Focus Ghia (and maybe others? thinking about it I think I've only seen Focus Ghias) 1.6 or 1.whatever diesel which allowed you to differentiate trim level from engine spec. I can see this not being necessary in North America where the top trim level always has the biggest engine and vice-versa.

While the sale of Cayennes and Panameras certainly adds to their war chest, I think they're more likely to use that money on leveraged buy-outs and other business type things than subsidizing sports cars. I can't imagine they're selling 911's at a loss, even before a buyer ticks all the ludicrously priced option boxes.

InitialDave posted:It relates to the interior comments, but I've never understood why companies building higher-end cars settle for parts bin switchgear etc. Give me a sportscar that costs £60k and has Ford Fiesta stalks and heater knobs, and the question for me is why I can't have them in machined aluminium and have it cost £61k. Even in smaller quantities, CNCing up bits like that isn't that expensive. You can buy quite nice fittings like that off the shelf anyway, there's no need for something that shouts to you about where they cut the costs right in front of your face every time you drive the car. I agree, especially when the bits that aren't a cheap-to-produce bit of turned metal or whatever, like the microswitches that the stalks attach to, and the little motors and that drive the flaps in the HVAC system, the pcb that the posh feeling knobs or buttons or what have you actually act on can be exactly the same as in a Polo and basically every other model in your lineup. On the other hand, when you do get a company that pays more attention to the facade than what's behind it, you end up with a TVR... Very cool and unique and sexy and also broken down on the side of the road.

Voltage posted:Much, much worse. 5th gear just did a review of the new 300c (which is a £35-40k car in the UK, and that is 530/A6 S-line/E-class AMG sport money) and they were highly critical of the the quality of the interior, considering the price. So while the interiors are vastly improved overall, they're still not doing the "cheap American interiors" reputation any favours.

CharlesM posted:Canadians often use feet / inches in my experience, also. Fahrenheit too, for ovens at least. Most of my experience is in B.C. though, could be different elsewhere. Yeah the Canadian system is a bit odd. Officially metric, and anything big, small, or precise will be in metric, but it's colloquially imperial for roughly human-scale measures. The fahrenheit for ovens is a completely bizarre one though, because while I think water freezes at 32F, I have no idea what it boils at, and most Canadians have no idea what farenheit actually represents outside of vague stuff like 100 being when Americans start complaining it's hot out, and yet we cook our food using it and measure swimming pool temperature in it. The UK is bizarro world too, because everything is metric except distance which is miles, and weight is some weird archaic thing called a stone. When it comes to fuel economy, it's miles to the gallon, but you pump your gas in liters and nobody knows how many liters are in a gallon.

Motronic posted:Except most of those temperature "gauges" ar nothing more than 3-position idiot lights: cold, somewhere between almost warm to nearly melting, and "too loving late". To be fair, on most cars all you need out of your temp gauge is "cold", "thermostat operating", and "crank the heater to max and roll down the windows".
