Not to poopoo on your thread, but:

a) That car is ugly - looks like a high strung Civic Si.
b) That Caldina still has a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Gimme the 6 MPS. It has more power and torque and has a 6-speed manual tranny with AWD. Yum. :)

I wish the damn manufacturers would stop with the stupid altezza-like taillights... didn't anyone tell them that altezza lights went out last year (or earlier)?

Mmmm....Gotta love Ford Australia!!! The GT engine will be an 5.4l V8, with 4 valves per cylinder etc, outputting even more again, in the 300kW+ region!!!! :):):)

This is a pure show car to demonstrate Opel's eco-technology. The Eco-Speedster, as indicated by its name, is an eco-friendly Speedster. On the one hand, it achieves a combined fuel consumption of 2.5 litres / 100km, or 113mpg. On the other thand, it can top 155mph

that's the car i want.

113mpg

You should know better than that. Your favorite automotive company will be bringing it back all in due time. Those Audi Advant Wagons sure are mean... if you don't factor in their over 4000 pound SUV like weight. Gobs of HP? Yes. Quicker than an FBod?... oh heeelllll no.

that's one sweet interior for the Caldina... imo the US Matrix's interior looks cheap, same with the new Corolla, but the Celica (which is mechanical the same) looks lightyears better interior-wise. but exterior wise, it's quite a different story.


whao, after reading Autozine and knowing the wide range of automobile available outside of America. I feel less confused and glad to live in America. coz there are no insane amount of cars out there (not to mention various engine options)

of course, on the other hand, America does not have most of the goodies that europe and asia have.

I WANT MAH ALLTRAC GT-4!

The Audi A4 Avant weighs 3516 lbs for the 1.8T and 3683 lbs for the 3.0, so what are you talking about?

Also, an A4 RS4 Avant would give a Camaro a pretty good fight.

Actually, most people see it the exact opposite way. The Celica has the cheesy interior and the new '03 has a great interior. I've been in it and the materials/fit & finish are first rate. It's like a mini-Lexus inside with the leather interior.
