I remember when the Subaru 360 came to the U.S. One local radio station had a contest with the First Place winner getting a new Subaru 360. The Second Place winner would get two (2) of them! S

Great looking cars over the years. Too bad costs became prohibitive and reliability seems to occur for almost every owner. LOTUS - Lots of Trouble Usually Serious. Someone could make a killing by creating a "kit car" with a tried and true Japanese engine and easily resourced parts.

I understand the X 5M has several (7-10) cooling systems. That alone will make buying and maintaining one a daunting experience. One or more will surely malfunction and $$$$ will surly follow.

Love Foose's work but...taking the rear side glass away leaves an enormous blind spot. Not a great idea. Also, there is no mirror on the passenger side. That makes the blind spot issue even worse. Agree with another writer; tint the glass if you do not want to have anyone see you pick your nose (or just don't pick it.)

Can't understand why VW discontinued its small Rabbit/Golf based truck. Some even came with Diesel engines. (For greater hauling power and mileage.) Maybe an idea ahead of its time. This article should have also mentioned the price range for these conversions.

12 more horsepower for the new car!!! Can't constrain myself. Porsches watch out. Subaru/Toyota are out of control. Talk about conservative suits.

Have seen EV West provide a swap-in cradle and electric motor conversions for Porsches. EZ swap mechanically. Not so EZ $$$. Alas, its only money.

It would be cool to have an S54 under the hood. Probably too long for that engine bay. As an alternate, how about a turbo 4 from BMW? Plenty of power and might fit in with some "shoe horning". Or, the same turbo 4 in the rear - a la Renault. (???)

All the Teslas look the same to me. Why haven't they built a real "sports car"? You know, like their 1st car. Give it some curves, style and a real dash. Yes, it will be heavy but, the electro-power for speed and wide rubber could make it handle.

A BMW E46 for $23,100? I don't think so. They are hard to find and the prices are going up fast.

no stability control, no ABS. beautiful to look at and dangerous to drive. those two additions would not have been noticed outside the car and would have added only a small amount of weight. throw-back is one thing - safety is another.

Every friend of mine that had a Hodaka loved their bikes. Two-strokes died but, they are still much loved due to small displacement size, big power output.

Picture of car's rear end. The differencial looks to be about 3" or 4" above the ground. Don't think that is going to make it in the real world. All that work and it will end up getting bashed. And, most importantly, why a GM engine and a Porsche trans? Talk about more money than common sense. Oh well; it's only $73,500.

What Chip did not explain was the rear window. The original has a post from the roof line to the very back of the Azteck. Not the one just behind the rear door but, further behind it. (A "D pillar"?) On Chip's drawing the rear window goes from one side of the car, around the rear and then to the other side; roof to belt line. That would be one big, heavy and probably expensive rear window. Just sayin'

You'll never see one off-road, ever. Ons scratch or bump will put an owner back at least $10,000 easily. It's interesting how the writer, Mr. Green, cautiously explained, certain characteristics as OK for this type of vehicle. What that means is - it's better than most SUV's but, it's still a big, lumbering SUV. Think I'll buy some AM stock so I can sell short!

For the past 4 months, I drive to a vista along Mulholland Highway in southern California every Sunday morning. Somewhere about 7:30-8:00am, as many as 60 exotics (Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, GTRs, Corvettes and more) motor along the highway. Hagerty and friends have to provide a facility out here in the near future.

As an m roadster owner with a manual transmission, naturally I am disappointed that 3 pedal versions are not available. Paddles are the wave of the future. I reluctantly have to accept that fact. Also, why couldn't Toyota and BMW each offer both hardtop and roadster versions? I guess so they would not be competiting with one another. In a year or two, I might be looking out for a well kept, low-mileage Toyota or BMW 'cause the MSRP for them seems too high. Patience and depreciation are my friends.

I had always thought Ford could have put the Yamaha engine into the Mustang. Lighter car and it could have been called the "SHO(w) Pony". Just sayin'
