This picture gives me bad ideas, for what to do with my Magnum. And by bad ideas, I mean good ideas.

I love that this picture clearly shows a throttle-on oversteer correction.

As a young kid, my neighbor had one of the VW Square Backs. I've always thought these things are cool.

Are those Mustang Cobra wheels?

I have always thought that wagons have 4 side doors and shooting brakes had 2,

Did someone say shooting brake?

Mee-ow.

Honda could have brought this Stateside as the 1st-gen Acura TSX, but didn't:

Instead they waited for the dorkier 2nd-gen version, and declined to offer it with a manual trans. I blame half of that on the US emissions and economy standards which insist that 2 cars that are mechanically identical except for number of doors are treated as 2 completely different vehicles and require completely new certifications.

Apparently this thing sold for 70,000 british pounds, whatever that works out to be. Also, it makes near 800 HP!

In reply to singleslammer:

Just over $100,000 USD at current exchange rates.

Forgot about the TSX Wagon, not a bad looking ride...

My first "family car".
And the project. It's hard to deny the beauty of old American iron.

The previous version was much prettier, but never offered here.

For a horrid example...need I say more... My parents had two Pintos when I was really little, a hatch and a wagon. I have vague memories of riding in the cargo area of the wagon when I was about 5 or 6 years old.

In reply to Klayfish:

That is a million times cooler than a sable/toreass wagon

Don't forget the "real" wagons

I had one like this

Were the Lakewood ever offered with the 180hp turbo?

I remember riding in the back of one of these as a kid (rear facing seat).

We had one of these when I was a kid. I remember riding around in the back loose!

No, it really isn't. It's just older.

I believe you mean the tailgunner position.
