    These look like they were done by Jackson Pollock and Ralph Steadman's love child. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    In reply to 2011 Buick Regal: First Drive
    You know, now that there's a manual option, this thing's kinda tempting, if i was in the market for a TSX, Passat or Volvo. But I'm not. Nor will I ever be.

    They should have called it Insignia, though. This is a nice car, and the Regal name is only going to remind people of a car that was decidedly not nice.

    What brand is represented by the logo in picture number 5?

    It looks a bit like the OPEC logo, perhaps from another era? If it is, than that is the most clever artist ever. Imagine this, the artist could sell the [insert generic monarch of a small resource rich country] one OPEC logo painting for the office and a bunch for the garages. The only thing he would have to do is to convince the [insert generic monarch of a small resource rich country] that gold chrome or real gold leaf is not necessary and does not need to be added to the artwork.

    I really like these... hope the artist does well and can expand the collection to include a Yugo logo.

    @Turboner: Well, both of my "projects are going to be scary then! We (my brother and I) bought an '87 Rx-7 FC. The rotary is going into his Bug and the shell will be receiving a LS engine. The bug weighs maybe 1800lbs and getting the engine from a 26-2700 lb car and the rx is getting the engine from a 32-3800 lb car! Nothing better than a good.. I mean great power to weight ratio.

    That Speed 12 on the other hand...

    I'll cop to being scared of the 930. A co-worker/LeMons team mate of mine has one that she let me drive.

    The turbo lag is terrifying - when you finally get into the boost, it comes on like a crazed serial killer in your bed that you've somehow overlooked until you're just about to fall asleep.

    I'd still not mind having one though!

    My '75 Duster 360 had a good punch off the line - quite entertaining for a malaise-mobile and the handling was fairly respectable at moderate speeds. Try to cruise it above 85 or 90 though, and it felt like it was going to dart off in unpredictable directions or even go airborne - that mid-'60s-vintage cart suspension gave only a tenuous grip of the road. A couple of sudden 540-degree spins on wet pavement was enough to shake my faith in the car. I wasn't all that sorry to see it go.

    It's relatively attractive, but gorgeous? No. I really don't see anything remarkable with this car, except that it does a nice job of filling in the gap where GM used to want Saab to be.

    @brandegee: The situation did not allow me to capture the car properly. The only one that didn't have camouflage on it was the one above, which was not allowed out on the drive. Leave it to GM to put a great new car in the shadows, next to a pillar, under sodium lights.

    On the road, it's a damn nice lookin' ride.
