    What a stupid way to design doors. I'm just imagining what sort of gyrations would be required to snake under the open rear door -- which would be right about where your head and shoulders would be -- when getting into the rear seat.

    On the plus side: for fun and games you can shoot a little gasoline on your passengers though.

    The press release is epic.


    "The Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS is the only 4 door "topless on demand" supercar in the world."


    So it's Mardi Gras on wheels?


    "It includes the signatures of two revolutionaries."


    Fidel and Che?


    "The wide muscular rear end shows inviolable trust...."

    This cannot be the first time someone has named a car the "Roadyacht," can it?


    That's an awesome name, but it doesn't fit this car. A Roadyacht should look like a cross between a Spyker and that 1975 Stutz, except with masts and sails.

    It's clearly the 70s all over again.


    We're entering into another Golden (plated) Era of overpriced, oddly named Corvette based customs of dubious quality.


    Next thing you know we'll replace the notoriously inept and corrupt executive leadership of the country with an intelligent, idealistic, inspiring, well-spoken Washington outsider who'll turn out to be an overly ambitious and ultimately ineffective leader.


    I suppose the good part is Fu-beards are apparently coming back:

    Savage is a perfect name for a car. I don't really think this is the perfect car for the name though.


    In case you don't know, Savage Arms makes and has made great firearms. I've always thought that was a good name for a firearm.

    @Flathead Smith:


    I don't have much info on it (and can't find any online of course), but a company out of Fond Du Lac Wisconsin called Auto Craft made a Savage GT in '68-'69. Basically, it's a Plymouth Barracuda fastback with a full-width grille, sidepipes, and a fibreglas decklid & spoiler. Standard powertrain was a 340/4-spd., 383, 440, and Torqueflite were options- as were AC, disc brakes, and a stereo 4-track player. Price was 4600-4850 (depending on engine); a stock Barracuda fastback tricked out to Cuda 340 specs cost about 3250.

    @Maymar bans bare chassis hoonage: I agree. I never understood why the '60s Continental was called that. With that floaty ride, pontoonish slab sides and massive motor, I think it should have been called the Transatlantic.
