Random Thoughts... [Automotive Edition]

I am so very tempted to just strip everything from the Miata. Carpets, sound deadening, soft top, stereo, spare tire. Then fit a exhaust, air filter, some light rims, and roll bar, and just haul ass everywhere.

What are you going to do if it rains?
Say screw it and haul ass in circles?

It's great that a car so ordinary in Europe is something of a rarity to someone in North America.
Then again, I saw a late '80s Dodge Dynasty the other week (blood-red interior) and found that almost exciting :p

yeah, I saw a crysler le baron the other day, and was like omfgwtf?
 
^ The shape of the cab reminds me a lot of another pickup... something from Nissan maybe? I don't know pickup truck models.

But why shouldn't VW make a truck? If Honda has one and is supposed to be a great truck, I don't see why these guys can't.
 
Maybe it reminds you of the Chevy El Camino, but that's more "car-like", the VW concept is a bigger one, with more ground clearance and so on.

El Camino? Nope, don't think so... this VW truck seems like a full-on pickup to me, not a coupe with a bed attached to the back.
 
I think I had the Nissan Frontier in mind... but searching GIS, I now realize most trucks are shaped just like that.

If anyone remembers me saying I saw a Renault Clio up here at school, well, I found it again. :woot:

I was late for class so that was the only picture I could take, hopefully its still there later. I've always liked the Clio, but now I'm actually impressed. If it was sold here I would have to think about buying one of this generation.

I'm actually more impressed that you've managed to find one with a roof rack!
I've never ever seen one with a rack...and I see thousands of them every day

Shawn referred to the shape of the cab, and as the actual pictures of the prototype in that article are from a Toyota Hilux with VW-internals I think he referred to the picture in the upper right corner of the article which shows the outlines of the new VW pickup. That shape is El Camino-like, or isn't it? ;)
 
^ Spot on, it is the Hilux I was thinking of. +1 :)
 
Well, if you would have read the article it states that the pics are from a Hilux. ;)
Since the spy pics we showed you back in April were of a Toyota HiLux body sitting atop VW internals [...]

Heh, saw the old family 850R yesterday. Still looks like it did the day we sold it. Quite frankly, surprised it's still running!
