Best looking car in its class. Expensive as heck though. Loaded ones go for like $27k MSRP. And we haven't seen the Speed3 yet!

But good for Mazda...if you look at what new 6 and 3 cars are out on the road, a large majority are higher trim examples.

They do get pricey quickly, but people seem to like higher models. So says me with the fully decked out CX-9 previously. Go all, or go home.

Today...

A blacked out Subaru SVX, with worn out or simply loud exhaust. Haven't seen one of these in a while:

Also, as above, another Mitsu M-iEV on the highway today. Probably the 4th I've seen around here in months:

Saw a '14 Malibu today...didn't notice any rear changes, but noticed the new nose...not an improvement, IMO...kind of squinty looking.

Spotted an Opel GT out doing some shopping

[Robert Hall]

Saw a '14 Sierra in my neighborhood tonight...the headlights are wild, with the LEDs in a ring around the main bulbs.

'63 Pontiac Bonneville 4-dr hardtop, white, unrestored but solid, dusty, at local station for work.

'61 Ford Galaxie convertible, white over black, unrestored but solid, dusty, parked at retail place.

'59 Cadillac coupe deVille, turquoise, primo shape, parked at gas station.

New 2014 Buick Encore at the Park and Ride lot.

Talked with the Man who said he had spent all year trying to get his wife to get a new car to replace their 21 year old tired auto and at the autoshow she fell in love with the encore, took it for a test drive and said OK. They actually bought it there. Was a Mocha Colored one. He said he just kept his mouth shut since she was so excited and he was just happy to finally have a reliable auto that they would be driving.

Anyone know what those rims on the Opel GT above are from? Just curious; they look familiar, can't place 'em.

A brand new and just purchased dark gray 2014 CTS sedan strolling down the road...looks great, especially the front LED light strips.

Yesterday, a crazy commute. I got behind an early VW Beetle pickup truck. Olive drab, including the wheels, and all steel. With the load floor level, above the engine, and a VW symbol embossed into the engine cover. It was very professional looking. Now I want to investigate.

And a DeLorean.

You were driving in a time warp or an eastern PA movie set. Either or.

This very well preserved El Camino was seen out shopping at the mall over the weekend.

ooo, it has the bro ham interior! nice one

[G. David Felt]

99 Durango tricked out with neon lights everywhere. Looks like it was driving on a cloud of fire as the underside of the car was all red. Headlights also glowed a bit red even while on. From what I have learned online, guess they drill their headlamps and insert the desired color LED to show in the light and give it this color hue. Very interesting and weird at the same time.

Don't see these out and about too often.... any of our old-timer bus fans able to identify?

A variety of these puppies are unbelievably still in service in Calgary, the only major city in North America still using them in active service.

I thought it was a GMC... but not being a bus person, I wasn't sure.
