Bmw 767 , my lad claimed he saw a bm badged as such last week , turns out there was only one and was a prototype v16 7 series . No idea what he saw .

I'd never heard of this before, it looks amazing, I want one. My dad had a 750i, I used to love the way the bonnet opened.

AMC Eagle SX/4:



I knew they offered it in estate form but never in this bodystyle.

It's a factory donk!

Amazingly it had a 6 speed manual. In a V16 7 series!! And radiators in the boot with massive NACA ducts in the rear wings. Mad as cheese.

That V16 E32 and the Le Mans X5 are my favourite M-division creations... they are just so utterly, wilfully bonkers, they serve no useful purpose whatsoever except to guzzle petrol at a truly obscene rate while (in the X5's case, at least) making an epic noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enG-XzZrg68

I don't know what Lee Iacocca was smoking in his cigar when he was running Chrysler back in the 80s, but it gave birth to this FWD pickup oddity based on the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon (related to the Talbot Horizon) - the Dodge Rampage/Plymouth Scamp:

Apparently I missed the memo about the MG brand still existing. Until yesterday, I'd never seen one of these. Odd looking thing.

Seen one or two, not a fan. I did see an MG6 parked at Tesco, actually looked ok in a dull car way.

See lots of these when I was in the US, Nissan Xterra. I quite like them, something basic and rugged about it.

That is the Nissan Pathfinder in Europe, basically the same vehicle

Came up behind a Citroen C Crosser didn't even know they existed (didn't even know that Citroen even did a 4x4).

It was built on the same platform (F-Alpha pick-up platform) as the previous generation Pathfinder, but was an entirely different (smaller) vehicle line. The Pathfinder was sold in the US as, er, the Pathfinder. The Xterra was discontinued not so long ago. The new pathfinder was launched a couple of years back and uses an entirely different car-based unibody platform.

It's a Mitsubishi Outlander with a new front and rear end, see also Peugeot 4007.

I was watching an episode of How It's Made: Dream Cars on Discovery Science yesterday which featured a car called the Falcon F7, had never heard of it but it's not a bad looking thing:

Looks like 355 rear, K1 Attack front. Not a bad thing IMO

[alpha channel]

Did not know that, first one I've ever seen as well (have to admit though that I don't generally take much interest in this segment).
