I always thought the 4.3L "L99" OHV Chevy V8 was the readheaded stepchild of the SBCs:

Triple agreed.
The GM LQ1 V6... aka the "Twin Dual Cam" V6 found in the early 1990s GM W-Body cars. It was a mongrel of an engine.... an OHV V6 converted to DOHC.
Apparently it was a pain to work on and has been known to sludge up. On top of that, the power wasn't anything special for the given displacement.
The ancient Buick 90 degree OHV V6 was a better all around engine... particularly in supercharged form.

"Saab dealers look to add 2nd brand."
Well what other choice do they have? It's either that or close up for good.
" New Volkswagen Phaeton is a Go. "
Well personally I think the new one will be as much of a flop as the old one if they take the same approach.
I can understand WHY they're doing this... they're trying to get as much volume for their D platform as possible. And they need that D platform for the Bentley Continental and the Audi A8.
But honestly, they should leave the technology-packed versions of the D platform for Bentley and Audi.
Now I'm not saying that it should be devoid of tech... just not go overboard with it... like offering a W12 engine.
"Next-Gen Ford Mustang SVO, Focus RS to Share 2.3-liter Turbo-Four."
Ah... that brings me back to my high school days when Mustangs were had with either the 2.3L OHC Pinto engine or the 302 V8.
I'm not surprised that Ford is going back to having a 4cyl Mustang. Now I only wonder if the base engine will be an ecoboost 4cyl or if that will be an option and the base engine will be the regular 2.5L 4cyl... which I think would be a good base-model Mustang engine.
I'll vote this as a weak Crack Pipe. The price needs to come down a little.
What's interesting is this V6 put out the same power as the V8 in the Ferrari 308.

Pricey compared to what? Probably cheaper than having a motorcycle or car restoration/customization hobby. Probably cheaper than a hooker hobby too.
Actually... now that I think of it, it's probably cheaper than having a houswife + kids too.

What this guy needs to add is a railroad to faciliate hauling all the dirt away...
Oh right... I would give them a Whopper... and they could serve me a Fillet-o-Fish...
Nah... many of them are HOT... here's an example.
I personally have found many Female Prius-lovers to be hot. They're definitely a better looking stock than New Beetle lovers:

You could always ask yourself "What would Jeremy Clarkson do?"... and then hire someone with lots of guns to pump lots of lead into my hybrid.
$55K for that? Risky business was a good movie, but not THAT good... Crack Pipe.
Why do rubber's rule? Because they work better than candy wrappers or sheep skin. But you can still get the sheep skin and candy wrappers.
And Megabus is for the people who cannot afford to take the Greyhound... or just want to go on a really REALLY cheap vacation.
I went to Pittsburgh for less than $1 a few weekends ago.
And last year I went to Washington DC for $8.25.
Well I'll just have to get my own smaller hybrid Prius helicopter, land next to you with my hot enviro-chick and give you smug looks as I walk away with my hand on the hot enviro-chick's ass.

In German, you pronounce the V's like it's an F. So that would make VAGRLZ into "Fag Rules"
How much money do body guards make? From what I read here:

It sounds like decent money, but they're not rich.
Also I believe they need a car that is reliable, does NOT attract too attention and has decent space for their clients.... while projecting an appropriate image.
So my vote goes to a new (or fairly new) Dodge Charger.
