of the era, this hands down. 850R. Prettiest and most practical wagon. Fast too. and manual. and turbocharged. damn...

[OliverD]

Manuals were available in Canada but in the U.S. they were automatic only.

Well ya damn right the supersonic shoe box was the best looking one, I mean hell, it was a race car

it was! Lammers and Rydell drove it really well considering how competitive the field was, and it was its first year out. Only beat in the 1994 BTCC round by...oh yeah....my Alfa Romeo. 

One day my garage will have all 3: 155, E36, and 850R.

See, that was well done, thats an actually good looking car!!

...and this is where the X6, X4, X2, etc. came from 

[Fobroader]

From a good looking wagon to a confused "coupe"??

[Noto]

I'm not suggesting the wagon didn't look good - I'm suggesting that this is an early demonstration of compromising utility for the sake of style that has now gone way beyond reason (in the case of the X6, X4, and X2, etc.).

[Solstice2006]

I still don't follow.  That wagon looks like it has utility.  It's not the Crosstour...

[Scaerio]

its so weird that they made it so ugly when that era of Camry actually wasn't a bad looking car. Its like "ok boys, we need a wagon...... I know, stick half a porta potty to the back end of the Camry, job done!!"

The D pillar apes the style of the Austin Allegro estate.

^ Nice winter beater...lol

lol wow. I guess I should stop being afraid to take my lowly Camaro out today......

That night was the second time he drove it. It only had 100KM on the odometer.
I'm sure he had fun yesterday with the weather we had.
If you guys see this car at Calabogie this spring, that will be him.  I doubt there is another one in this colour in the GTA.

Do you know why he is going from a Mclaren 720S to a 650S?  I thought the 720S is the newer model that will eventually replace the 650S.  According to the video reviews i have seen the 720S is a much better car.   

I'm not sure.. I'll ask him next week.

Saw an F-350 dually with a short bed this morning. Only the second one I've ever seen; I think they're quite rare.

Why not?

[tortoise]

Yeah, if you're routinely towing something heavy that truck makes a ton of sense.

[ChaosphereIX]

1 ton dually is used for towing and loading lots in the bed - short bed and quad cab says [to me] the owner is not interested in doing any truck stuff with their truck [short bed can be worse for heavy towing that the 1 ton is used for]

please correct me if I am wrong, was told that from my fellow truck salesmen at GM

[OliverD]

The short bed may not work with some fifth wheel trailers but I don't see how else it would be worse for towing.
