automental: Look, it's a Cayman!
http://www.automental.com/2012/12/look-its-cayman_15.html
Com going nuts about cars. Saturday, December 15, 2012. Look, it's a Cayman! The new Porsche Cayman: we were all expecting this Boxster coupé. We all thought we knew how the car would look like. And yet. it's baffling and beautiful, the most harmonious of all Porsches since the 993. How to design a Cayman? This c-pillar shape distinguishes the Cayman big time from the 911 and gives the Cayman the appearance of a 1960s sports car. Which is nice, because we like those cars, light, small and fast. Wahre Wor...

Com going nuts about cars. Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Subaru Baja - Quirky, Funnily Flawed And Quite Fascinating. A bit more than 30,000 Subaru Baja. Were built from 2003 to 2006 in the US. Maybe not as many as Subaru hoped to sell, but not a failure. And what a car it was. Take a Subaru (Legacy) Outback, cut off the roof at the rear and add some 15cm for a usable open bed with a drop-down tailgate. The Australians call that a Ute. Photos Subaru (and NetCarShow.com).

automental: Same Difference - M5 vs M6 Gran Coupé (vs M6 Coupe vs M6 Cabrio)
http://www.automental.com/2013/04/same-difference-m5-vs-m6-gran-coupe-vs.html
Com going nuts about cars. Sunday, April 21, 2013. Same Difference - M5 vs M6 Gran Coupé (vs M6 Coupe vs M6 Cabrio). Both 4-door versions are like fraternal twins. Engine, wheelbase everything the same. Except that the Gran Coupé is lower, wider and more sexy. Even more so than the "nearly identical" 2-door M6 siblings, me thinks. Surprising differences. The maximum permissible weight of the M6 is 60kg lower than the 3 quadruplet sisters. Check out the related posts:. Mar 2013 GERMANY incl VAT. S7-speed ...

Com going nuts about cars. Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Wish I was still living in the UK! There are some cars you can't get anywhere else in Europe, this is one of them. For example (or Holden Grange / GTS), just like the predecessor, the Vauxhall Monaro. Based on the Holden Monaro just like the Pontiac GTO. Ah I wish, Opel were rebadging them as well.

http://www.automental.com/2013/04/saab-9-3-phoenix-doa-and-weird.html
Com going nuts about cars. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Saab 9-3 Phoenix - DOA and weird. The 9-3 replacement apparently would have been launched in 2014. Google "Saab 9-3 phoenix" and you get the idea. Among the best images of what the 9-3 Phoenix would have looked like can be found on Jalopnik. Including very interesting comments of Jason Castriota. Who designed the car. The rear light arrangement is a bit too conservative, why not slimming the rear lights a bit more? Posted by Walter Morsch. Related posts...
