    I like how the Capri has the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am, the Starsky & Hutch Torino, and the Mad Max Interceptor themes all rolled into it.

    This. Is. Bitchin'.

    That's a 1967. It has the new-for-67 double cross-hatch grille but doesn't have the side marker lights first used in the US in 1968.

    I suppose it is a vain hope that one of the Swedish automakers will revert to their roots and build a car with real character like the Amazon.

    I would guess that's a '66 or '67 - about that time Volvo started using a coarser grille pattern with doubled bars. The earlier cars had a finer pattern with a horizontal divider bar. The Amazon I show here is identified as a '65. American-market Volvos for '68 had side marker lights. At any rate, that's a pretty neat find. A good Amazon will probably outlive its owner.

    Aside from the bumpers that seem to have to earn their living, this is a wonderfully preserved example. Is that a 145 in front of the 262, making this a Gothenburg-only zone?

    A wonderful cross section of insanity.
    The Faster Farms unwholesome duo wins the incongruity costume award--those fluffy nice chicken costumes framing those mobster-like mugs, complete with cigar.
    But really, the Marvins have a death ray disintegrator gun, so they can clear their own path through traffic. And if a hearing officer showed up in front of the MGBees, they--and the car--would most likely be hauled off for 30 day observation.

    I can't believe no one's been foolish enough to bring a 928 to LeMons before. But I might have to prefer the Teutonic Thunder Chicken to it.

    Aside from evidence of a shocking level of gang-related activity, this is one time I probably wouldn't want to be riding with Jesus.

    Good luck to everyone out there.

    I think these are kinda cool. Not sure if the milling in the pads have any significance though they look like they represent the purpose of each pedal.

    @IH_kumicho: Oh believe me, I'm quite familiar with the complete lack of low-end torque in Honda fours. In fact, it's one of the many reasons I never want to drive a Civic again.

    Nevertheless, it's hard for me to feign excitement about a 200 horse anything, let alone a four-banger Hyundai.

    @If FromaBuick6: So you're saying that peak horsepower figure of 200 is the only thing that matters in an engine? This engine will make more torque than the H22 could ever dream of, all while getting better fuel economy.

    Why is it so damn impossible to find a complete set of technical stats on Hyundai engines? I can't find the complete stats for the Tau, Theta, Theta II, or Lambda engines.

    All I really want to know, for the sake of comparison to other engines, is the displacement, output, weight, fuel economy, and physical dimensions.
