That is a timeless design indeed. Even the wheels match well.

Those are SOOO pretty... :love: :love: :love: :drool:

So, what's a brandspankingnew 2018 Macan worth?  Can't believe no one's bought it...maybe because the MSRP is $54k...but they want $57K??  Should I go offer my Fusion and $35,000?

It's even in a colour I'd like...crappy pics for a dealer...


They do have a 2017 Macan GTS for less...but it has kms on it.  How much life could it have left? I mean...60,000+ must be near the end of its first major service cycle right?  Oh, your first oil change is due...that'll be $5679 plus dealer fees and incidentals...$8000 plus tax please.

It's nice to look at, but you might as well get a golf for all of the space inside... Practical it ain't.

Too bad he put all that money into this car.  What I need is a Factory 5 kit and then this would make a great donor for about $8g...??

No way is that the actual MSRP. Those wheels and the sport exhaust alone are at least $7k in options. It's probably closer to $70k.

This is super solid looking and cool. The autobox is a bummer. Any engine swap probably means a new rear axle as well.

1983 Dodge Mirada CMX. While it's not equipped how I would like it, this Mirada is still a great looking car.  I got to drive quite a few of these in the early 80s while pretending to help my friend at Transcona Dodge.  Gotta love the red interior.

That looks to be in great condition. Mirada. I've always liked them. About 15 years ago we had a neighbor with the blue one. For some reason my wife hated it.  :rofl2:

not my kind of Alfa, but thank you for the thought. I am not a fan at all of that generation of Alfa except the GTVs. Don't drive all that well either. My passion for Alfas starts in the 80s.

Its successor, the 916 is the one I would get.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

It's no Alfa, but I know a guy looking to sell his Fiat Barchetta. I think it's orange. It will be submitted to BaT soon.

I like these as well.  One of my fave Hot Wheels is a Mirada (mine is certainly not pristine, but it's in my former bedroom at Mom & Dad's).  I'll take one like this, please.

I don't have one of those Miradas.  The ten-spoke wheels looked great.

I drove one, it was yellow. Like a Miata but with Italian flair. Really fun to drive. If I wanted a little convertible, a Barchetta would be high on my list.

Would be awesome to do a 4wd conversion on that.
