Topic: Cars I wish we had here in Canada

[Dante]

The new Ford Mondeo might be a nice car for a change. Too bad Ford doesn't get it.

[TT]

Do they still make the 307 CC? Love the look of that car.



A WRC version of the 206 would be awesome. 

Yes initial_D, they still make them, in fact there's a CC edition for the 307 and 206 models.

Nice pick, I like!

Citroen C6! And everything else SirAqua said.

I'd not likely buy one, but man they're great looking cars. 

[Mitlov]

Renault: Megane

Doesn't the 2007 Sentra share a platform with the Renault Megane?  I read some review talking about how the Sentra's super-soft suspension was typical of French cars, and may have been borrowed from the Megane.

Ford -Mondeo, Focus CC or any C1 Focus for that matter,  S-Max.
Peugeot - 407,  Alfa Romeo-159, VW-Golf Plus, BMW-1 series
Citroen C4 Picasso, Seat-Ibiza & Leon, Honda-FR-V & Civic Type-R,

Yes.

[Bullet Blue]

1 series, EVO and BMW diesels are likely to arrive soon, so we can scratch those off the list

I was about to say you're all crazy not to mention the Alfa Brera, but I just did an image search and found that they'd taken this (concept):


...which is  (How much will you pay me for my left kidney?)

...and turned it into this (production model):


....which is quite nice and all ...but ...um ...the RX-8 is rear wheel drive you say? ....um ...er ...what was the question again?

Thats the old one Dockman, its been superceded by one that a mother and an aunt could love.

That one in the picture is remarkably nice to drive and very roomy.

Funny you should say that I drove one for a week when I lived in Lux (of this same vintage) I loved it.

[tpl]

I drove one in the UK on vacation  4 years back and my wife drove one in France year before ( she hated it  found it too wide for french country cart tracks  roads)

There is something about the previous model Multipla that - well, let's say it's kind of a stick-with-you kinda car. It looks either hideous or ingenious, depending on your perception. Nevertheless, you can't dis the sheer practicality of the vehicle and the fact that it can take 6 passengers in relative comfort.

I agree that the new one is, well, less than attractive, imo (but still every bit as versatile).

Funny thing, the windows on the doors is the size of the lower part of the door, visibility is the key here, heheheehhe.

So it is like a pair of shoes, the more ugly they are, the  more comfortable they are 

[sirAQUAMAN64]

The Honda FR-V is nifty.

What Japanese domestic cars would I like? None immediately spring to mind but I'm sure there are some. The minicars are interesting. The Mazda Verisa interested me, but is getting a bit long in the tooth now. The new MPV perhaps...

The clip didn't show the co-driver's surprised-looks when Gilles decided to 'punch it', who is also Gilles' brother, his jaw just dropped and eyes wandered for a few seconds.  Gilles and the WRC206 was unbeatable on tarmac for 3 years, until Citroen and Sebastian showed up.
