Heh, something tells me if it's not a Veyron, it's too whimpy for Sliver!

Yeah, I know the number isn't that impressive, but it translates into a lot of speed for a small car. 0-60mph in 6.2 is pretty good for a ~$30,000 hatch.

Agree with all except the 928. Hated those cares.

I also loved the Esprit. I saw one of these downtown the other day:

1980 Lotus Esprit



Also the Audi Quattro:



And the VW GTI. Back when they were actually light and nimble and knew how to take a corner:

Yeah, all those are great too, that Esprit was a beaut. I kind of even liked the Pontiac knock-off....except when people tried to turn it into a Countach, ha.

The 928 has always been a bit of a love/hate car, which I can see why. It was nice to see Porsche make attempts at something interesting though...as opposed to just rehashing a 911 and calling it something else like they do these days.

Looks like Ford is shuttering Mercury.......about 20 years too late, but good riddance!

Mercury vehicles haven't been sold in Canada or a few years now. Were there any Mercury vehicles that weren't just rebranded Ford models?

The last significant thing I can remember is the Cougar.

Hey has anybody seen the new 5.0 Mustangs yet? I went to Advantage Ford on Monday to test drive one but they didn't have any in the showroom or on the lot.

It's a shame about Mercury, because judging by the gallery underneath that article, they have one hell of a spokemodel.

No offense, but Table5's taste in cars is simply baffling.
