Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

The Ferrari is super nice, love the way the windscreen rides over the top of the car...wing mirrors are pretty cool to and those lights wow, like to see how they light up the road.
and the Miura is soo sexy, sleek, nice alloys and a great colour.
but for me its has to be the retro 70's looking Dodge Challenger...yes please

Gotta agree with that... I'd have to have the Dukes of Hazard horns put in it tho!
The Fezza looks
IMHO... but I bet 5 mins behind the wheel and I'd get over that.

If this shape reflects the things to come at Japan's last big independent car manufacturer... oh dear.
But, this rolling condominium couldn't hide that:
- The GG50 (Gigi?) is very daring and still an exquisitely beautiful and genuine Ferrari.
- The Miura is the stunner it always was - even in that mellow yellow
- The Challenger is pure, simple, uncluttered and unmistakingly muscled. How right they were to leave that design virtually unchanged.
It was Mazda that took me by surprise though with their 1:1 Hotwheels Kabura. Wow!
Less is often more.

Cadillac Escalade Hybrid?? They would need a fookin wind turbine attached to the roof to power that thing on electricity! When are Americans going to realise small is better, maybe when they have to pay 91p a litre (what ever that is in USD) they will get a shock then

The escalade does more to the gallon than a 480....its a move in the right direction for the yanks as far as i'm concerned.
A hybrids not an electric car, it just uses a motor to make the engine work more efficiently.

I know someone with a Toyota Prius... from what he was telling me, it sounded like it uses dynamos in the brakes to charge the batteries...

It'd be the drive motor running in reverse. Motors are good like that.
"The electric mountain" uses the same principle.
