    The V70 was redone in 2008 and won't be redone again anytime soon. The new V70 is really just a S80 wagon. The new S60 is using a cut down shortened version of the S80 platform. If they can make it drive like the XC60 just in sedan form it will be awesome. The XC60 is one of the best driving crossovers I have ever been in. Just enough power, just firm enough ride without being too harsh, I am looking at you X3, but not so wallowy that you feel like you are driving a couch or a RX350. Well those are the same thing really. Oh and awesome seats too.

    The XC60 LOOKs great, but I'm afraid it fell short in alot of areas for me. For one, too darned heavy. Another is the very awkward driver's position in relation to the car. The extreme slope of the windshield and massive dash make it feel like I'm sitting in the middle of the car.

    The S60 isn't quite as dramatic as the original concept, but still a step in the right direction for Volvo styling. Hopefully it won't be so obese (do we know yet?).

    Toyota Supra...early 80's?
  • texasestexases Member Posts: 11,144
    Nope, a bit earlier, it's a '76ish Celica, the 3/4 scale Mustang look-alike.

    '76-77 Toyota Celica GT Liftback.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Yup, it's a first gen Toyota Celica/A20/35 ca. 1970-77, sorry don't know exact year.

    Thanks for the info.

    I still remember when the V70 was an S60 wagon.
  • british_roverbritish_rover Member Posts: 8,502
    Yeah 2007 was the last year the V70 was just an S60 wagon with more rear seat room.

    Also the last year you could get a real R car with a six speed manual, AWD and 300 horsepower.

    The new T6 going in the 2011 Volvos is supposed to be boosted to 300 horsepower. If Volvo adds another 50 horsepower and a manual to the S60 to make another S60R that would be great.

    Saab 9000 but can't tell the year. Probably a second generation model maybe a 1996?

    Edit:

    Just noticed it is RHD hmhh so maybe not a 9000. Did Vauxhuall rebadge the 9000 as something for the UK?
  • stephen987stephen987 Member Posts: 1,994
    The first-generation 9000 was based on a platform shared with the Fiat Croma and Lancia Thema. I think this car is part of that generation, since it doesn't have the upward-sweeping window line of the later cars.

    Behind it there seem to be a lot of other (newer) Saabs.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    The rims a quirky, so it must be a Saab, but the headlights are generic, so it must not be a Saab. :D
  • texasestexases Member Posts: 11,144
    I think you're correct, it's a match for a second-gen U.S. 9000 ('92-'98) I found, detail for detail, except for the RHD and the turnsignals are amber in the one I found. A British requirement for clear?

    Yep its a second generation ('92-'98) Saab 9000i Saloon, (UK spec, equivalent to a US Spec 9000 CD IIRC.)

    That appears to be the nearly-forgotten Saturn L300 sedan (could be an L200 though).
  • michaellnomichaellno Member Posts: 4,120
    That looks almost exactly like my car:

    imageSee more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com

    '03 or newer L200 or L300 .. the picture that andy posted doesn't give me a good look at the wheels, which is the most obvious difference. 15" for the L200, 16" for the L300. My L300 also has foglights, which may or may not be on the movie car.

    andy, what movie is this picture taken from?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    It's an '03 Saturn L200 from the TV show One Tree Hill.

    Alfa Romeo Berlina (my guess would be a 1600 or 1750), late '60s-early '70s?

    It's a 1974 Alfa Giulia Super/1600 (Euro spec), quite a neat little car, too>

    Ah well close enough. Had the right time period and basic dash anyway. That's a RARE bird in the U.S. Most are now little piles of ferrous oxide blowin' in the wind.

    I think that was the original title of the Kansas song. :P

    "All we are is rust in the wind"....hey, a great tune for the new Fiat-Chrysler TV commercials... :P

    Sorry, I couldn't get in when I tried to reply a while back, and had a crisis here at work since so I lost the plot...

    This Alvis had coachwork by a little known British company, Duncan Industries, who were based in Norfolk, I think in a former airfield, just after WW2. They built over 40 of these coupes on Alvis TA14 chassis, and a few similar ones on Healey chassis, plus a couple of odd ones for Bentley etc. They went out of business by about 1952, I think, at least as far as cars are concerned although they may have done a few truck bodies etc...

    Hint: Not very many of these had the stick.

  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    I recognize the steering wheel. Is it a 1962 or 1963 Buick Special or Skylark?
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Maybe a Tempest of that era? The stick looks pretty flimsy for an 8 cylinder car, so I'm guessin' it's for a smaller engine.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Sorry Shifty, Lemko's got it, it's a '62 Buick Special Deluxe Wagon/215/4 spd.>

    Oh well, that engine was slower than a 4 cylinder Tempest anyway :P

    Gee, looks like about a one-foot throw from 1st to 2nd.

    I once owned a 65 Valiant with 4-speed and it had a much beefier gearshift.

    The one in the picture reminds me of a Corvair shifter. I wonder......

    BMW Z8?
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,783
    definitely the Z8. There is one here at the building I work. Snapped off a pic a few months back (no, that's not my pic in the post).

    Yup, it's a BMW Z8 /E52 (2000-2003).

    That's a car I'd like to own once it depreciates into nothingness. MSRP was about $130,000 and now we're down to around $75-80K for one with normal miles.

    Actually it's holding up pretty good :(
  • boomchekboomchek Member Posts: 5,516
    That's neat. I always wante dto build a diorama of a garage, but never had the time for it :( Maybe I gotta wait until I retire.

    That's why you have kids Boom - so you have a good excuse to buy "toys".

    You're covered - go for it. Just padlock the rec room when you're at work. :D
  • boomchekboomchek Member Posts: 5,516
    I alrready tell my wife that we need to start stocking up on toys for our 6 week old son.

    I can't wait to start buying him model cars and Legos. I wonder if I'll cave in and give him my unopened collection of Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, Dub City, and others I have. Heck if I hang it all up on the wall I wonder if that will be the right thing to do to a kid, jundreds of toys you can't play with. Almost like torture.

    Right area, but the other side of the tracks

    the other side of the tracks

    Something out of the IFO/Sachsenring/Wartburg/Trabant stable? Or perhaps a DKW?
