This was outside the shop that did my Nissan inspection.

Trying to find my car in a German car park : "Euh bon, trouve la Peugeot 308.......c'est là."

Trying to find my car in a French car park : "Alors, trouve la 308.......oh putain......" *looks at a sea of Renault and Peugeot hatchbacks, citadines, and minivans*

There are apps for this BTW.

I know, I have it (MyPeugeot), but that's best when I forget what street I parked on, versus which specific allée at the equivalent of Costco.

The fact it's red only slightly helps, because the french also buy interesting colours other than black/gray/silver/white.

this Aston Martin in Old Kyoto

I saw a new 1er (sharing the same face as the future 2er) at the hardware store today, without the fancy wheels and paint you usually see in press photos. Just a pedestrian, fairly basis 1er, white paint (still a 250 € option here) and 16" wheels.

My gawd it's ugly. I vomited a bit in my mouth.

Saw a Passport today in blue like the one below. Looked pretty good to my eyes.

I really like some of the new blue colours that are out now. Both MB and Porsche also have nice shades of blue.

Saw this parked at the local church lot this morning.

Side pipes and interesting colour combo.

Owner was inside, praying it would start.

Saw that in Rothesay a couple years ago when I first got my Clubman, the owner gave me a big wave.

The Sparco racing seat was an interesting addition as well. It looked gigantic in that thing with just a few inches to spare between the top of the seat and the roof.

On the way to Saratoga Thursday evening: auto-transporter tractor trailer jack-knifed across the north-bound lanes of I87. On the way home this morning (spent the night in Montréal due to crap weather and road conditions that began about 50 miles south of Plattsburgh): a tractor trailer jack-knifed in a ditch on the east-bound side of highway 40 near Hudson.

Saw the new Escape, like this one:

I thought they borrowed something from Mazda 3 of the past generations, for better or for worse...

Personally I find the new Corsair to be a MUCH better looking ute, likely one of the best designs ever in this segment:

Walked by a house that I've always thought was very nice and saw they had a new car. They've got a newish Boxster and a few years back had a very clean W124 Mercedes that was replaced by a Highlander. Now the Highlander has been replaced by a brand new V60. What a nice looking car that is. I really think the S60/V60 are amongst the best looking cars on the road today.

Scaerio · « **Reply #936 on:** November 25, 2019, 08:00:03 pm »

I think that the S/V 60 and 90 are the most elegant looking cars on the market today.

I agree. It is too bad they are draped around a marginal chassis, industrial engine and ridiculous touchscreen controls.

I agree the 60 series are lookers. Even the XC60 looks nice. We have friends that bought a new XC60 T6 Inscription last year and it looks great.

A few weeks ago I my wife and I were walking around downtown SJ looking at houses and I noticed this place with a new S63 AMG parked in the driveway. On the way back I saw a brand new S-Class Cabrio pull into the far right garage. I would love to see what's behind the other garage door.

I recognize that house. Older Street View shows a CLS AMG in the driveway.
