2019’s Top Rides: Part 3/Buick Regal GS, Subaru Ascent and Golf R

By Michael Hozjan

Buick Regal GS AWD: Buick gets it right

At 12, I wanted to be a car designer. Fate however had different plans for me. With an eye for automotive design, I grew up loving Buicks; from the ’57 Special to the ’59 Invicta, with the ’64 Wildcat stealing my heart time and again. Cadillacs took a close second, Fords were ok but I found Chevs too feminine. Buicks, were masculine with broad shouldered front fenders and creased lines, personifying the designing cues of GM greats, Harley Earl and Bill Mitchell.

Then came the Riviera. One snowy December afternoon as I headed to my post office, there on St. Lawrence Boulevard, with six inches of snow on the ground sat a ’65 Riviera. My heart skipped several beats and I must have studied its lines for what seemed like an eternity.

Well into the ‘70s there were some noteworthy designs that came out of Buick’s design studios however, the last four decades have been anything but exciting. That has all changed with the launch of the Regal GS – the sexiest Buick to come out of Detroit in, well the last four decades.

The Grand Sport designation is nothing new to the Buick line up, having been associated with ‘70s era muscle cars but this is the first time that it has been used in a European sports sedan context. The stylish GS goes up against some well established rivals like the Acura TLX, Lexus ES, BMW 3 series and the like, a tough field to say the least. The Regal GS is more than just good looks, it’s a bona fide sports sedan. In fact a rebadged, German built, Opel Insignia, so the GS starts with the right genes. European engineered handling makes it the best tarmac gripping Buick ever.

Red Brembo brake calipers immediately tell everyone that this is not your typical Buick.

While different drive options/trim levels are available elsewhere around the globe, we Canucks get only one trim/drive option- also the most desirable one - the all-wheel-drive version motivated by the 310 horsepower DOHC, 3.6L V6 with variable valve timing punching out 282 lb-ft of torque through a 9-speed automatic.

Entry price is $44,045, my tester came with the Buick Experience Package ($3,495) that included the moonroof, a Bose premium 8-speaker sound system, wireless charging, an 8” touch screen, HD radio, LED leveling headlights, The Driver Confidence Package (yes you read that right) at $1,995 includes adaptive cruise, forward collision alert with automatic braking, lane keep assist, front pedestrian braking and heads up display. The Ebony Twilight Metallic paint was a premium option at $495.

The all-wheel-drive gets a torque vectoring rear axle, which only improves traction in slippery conditions and makes the Buick eat up the corners. Buick has also given us three driving modes to choose from, Touring, Sport and GS

Inside you’ve got one color choice, black. The supportive Recaros have a massage feature as well as being heated/cooled. Both driver’s and passenger seats have 14 adjustments to suit your body, including adjustable bolsters. Following with the German sport sedan traits, it includes a flat-bottomed steering wheel.

Rear seat passengers get ample legroom, but headroom is tight for taller occupants. With 30.cu.ft of space under the hatch with the rear seats up, with over 60 cu.ft with the rear seats folded, it betters many compact crossovers!

Is it perfect?

Non-functional air intakes in the front valance are mickey-mouse and a step backwards. Why not leave them open and help cool the brakes? No spare tire but a useless tire fix kit –that’ll help when you have a blow out or bend a wheel on Quebec’s pot holes. On the comical side, the audio system had mixed up the Cirius station numbers it’s 60s on 6 and not 660s on six….and the same could be said for 50s on 5 not 550s on 5, as well as 70s, 80s and 90s.

You can go through the gears manually with the console mounted shifter but paddle shifters would have been a nice touch to compliment the smooth 9-speed automatic.

Will the GS steal buyers away from BMW? I hardly doubt it but it does give of us a formidable option to keep our performance dollars with domestic manufacturers, and the GS buyer has nothing to be apologetic for.

Price as tested: $52,050*

*Includes destination charges and a/c excise tax

Subaru Ascent: If at first you don’t succeed…

If you thought that Subaru already had a large SUV you’re right. The magic word here being had. The B9 Tribeca, later shortened to just Tribeca debuted in 2005 to, lets just say a less than stellar sales, and by 2014 had moved into the automotive history books of what once was.

It takes guts to admit that you were wrong, and it takes even big cojones to come back with a similar sized vehicle. Truth be told the SUV market has also changed over the last decade with SUVs growing increasingly larger, just like the population. Subaru appears to have been ahead of its time back in 2005 when 3-row SUV’s didn’t proliferate our roads, and minivans still reigned supreme for getting the platoon to school. But times have changed and so the new Ascent is the company’s answer to the latest trend.

The Ascent is also Subaru’s largest vehicle to date, with 142 mm longer wheelbase and 134 mm longer in length than the Tribeca, so yes passenger comfort has been greatly increased. The midsize SUV is built on the company’s Global Platform, a chassis that is easily adaptable; serving as the basis for everything from their Impreza and Crosstrek to the Ascent.

Available in four trim levels – Convenience, Touring, Limited and Premier - with the entry level 8-passenger Convenience starting at a meager $36,695. Regardless of trim, there’s a new 2.4L direct-injected, turbocharged boxer four cylinder dolling out 260 horses and 277 lb-ft of torque through the High-torque Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission).

Talk to anyone who’s ever driven a Subie in less than ideal conditions and they’ll swear by the symmetrical full-time all-wheel-drive system. A new feature, X-Mode, pushes the traction envelope even further; at the push of a button, it monitors and controls four different vehicle dynamics, including engine, transmission, torque splitting and braking.

There’s a lot of standard driver-assistance technology in each Ascent without having to step up to trim levels, Items like automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assist through the company’s EyeSight system. The base model gets a 6.5 inch infotainment screen while upper trim buyers will see an 8 inch screen. GPS however is only available in the two higher end trims (Limited and Premier). Both Touring and Limited are available in either seven or eight passenger configurations with captain’s chairs taking up the second row. My tester, the Premier trim comes only with the second row captains chairs. While all trims get heated front buckets it’s only the two higher trims that pamper their second row passengers with heated outboard seats. The third row looks a lot more inviting than some of it’s competitors but it’s still on the tight side with limited leg room. Still bear in mind this is a mid-size seven passenger and the seats are padded and comfortable to keep the small fry happy for longer drives. Oh and a pair of third-row USB charging ports become available in the Limited trim and are in addition to the standard two you’ll find in the front and second rows.

Rear cover blind and tow loop are stowed neatly under the cargo bay’s floor, the latter an option on some pricier suvs

Whether you’re out in the boonies or negotiating city streets, the Ascent doesn’t feel like a large bulky SUV. With above average handling and a minimum of body roll for a three-row SUV, Subaru’s use of the boxer engine and its advantageous low center of gravity immediately become apparent. It’s stable, with a soft luxurious ride and is generally quiet during normal highway cruising. But it does get loud when pushed hard.

Is it perfect?

The drone of the CVT does get annoying but once you get passed that, the Ascent is typically Subaru; it does everything what it’s supposed to and does it well. I averaged 9.8L/100 km which is unprecedented in a 7-passenger sport ute. It may not be overly luxurious but you get what you pay for. I know my Subaru driving friends will all be looking at the Ascent when the time comes to turn in their current drives, and that alone will keep this big Subaru around for a long time to come.

Price as tested: $52,795*

* Includes destination charges

Volkswagen Golf R: You’ll want one

If you’ve missed my installment of the Rabbit GTI, I urge you to scroll down the page and have a read.

Now take the GTI and turn it up a notch, or three. The formula for the Golf R is very simple; take one German built spacious hatchback that already has solid, tight handling, and add gobbs of turbocharged horses to a 2.0L inline four cylinder. How many ponies? Two eighty-eight to be exact – enough to propel you well past the posted speed limit in less time than it takes you to say posted speed limit. Now stir in all-wheel drive to put all that power to the ground. Slam it to the ground for added handling. Dress it up with killer 19” wheels.

Choose between the 6-speed manual available for $42,495 or the 7-speed dual clutch automatic with Tiptronic for $43,895. Now go have the most fun you can with your clothes on.

Doesn’t look like it but there’s nearly 300 horses in there

Quad exhaust tips tell you this is no ordinary Golf

The Golf R is everything you want in a performance sedan and then some. It makes no sense in a country with posted speed limits, but then neither do Porches, Ferraris and the like.

Price as tested: $49, 290*

*Includes destination charges and a/c excise tax

Motorverkoop cijfers 2019

In de open Data van de RDW zijn vaak leuke cijfers te halen. Dus heb ik wat data over 2019 zitten ‘nerden’. Vooraf wel even melden dat de data van de RDW traditiegetrouw niet echt consistent is en redelijk wat fouten bevatten, hoewel het echt beter aan het worden is. Ik kwam geen Ducati V-storm of Honda VBR705 meer tegen. Als je niet achter de komma kijkt is het leuk. Het gebruikelijke gecijfer kun je overal wel lezen maar voor degene die nu pas van hun motor stappen en dit dus nog niet ergens anders opgepikt hadden beginnen we met de top 10 verkopende merken in Nederland. Nog best spannend wie uiteindelijk plek 4 pakt!

1 BMW 2340 2 YAMAHA 2191 3 KAWASAKI 1921 4 HONDA 1274 5 KTM 1258 6 SUZUKI 1066 7 HARLEY DAVIDSON 1001 8 PIAGGIO 659 9 TRIUMPH 601 10 DUCATI 538

Onder deze top 10 staan nog merken als Aprilia (74 stuks), Husqvarna (222 stuks), Indian (110 stuks), Moto Guzzi (125 stuks) en Royal Enfield met een verrassend aantal van 142 verkochte motoren waarvan de Himalyan 400 ongeveer 1/3e voor z’n rekening nam. Ook dit is een allroad model die we bij alle merken bovenaan zien staan als meest verkochte model. Zeker ook de reden dat KTM zo goed presteert met de 790, 1090 en 1290 Adventure modellen. Hoewel de 400 stuks EXC crossers de KTM cijfers ook flink pushen. Daar steken de kleine Honda CRF modellen met 33 stuks heel schril tegen af. Ik heb nog gekeken of er vreemde getallen tussen zaten maar verder dan 2 plukjes van 8 motoren op dezelfde dag op zakelijk kenteken vond ik niet. De meeste crossers die alleen op de wedstrijdbaan gebruikt worden komen overigens niet op kenteken. Dat Piaggio in de top 10 staat komt voornamelijk door de verkoop van 474 Verpa GTS modellen en 100 Beverly’s.

In totaal zijn er net geen 14.000 nieuwe motoren op kenteken gezet in 2019. Zetten we dat af tegen de ruim 132.000 motoren die wisselen van eigenaar dan wordt het motorfietsenpark, net als afgelopen jaren, aangevuld met slechts 10% nieuwe motoren. Maar aangezien er ook ongeveer 15.000 motoren per jaar van kenteken af gaan (schade, diefstal, sloop, export, etc.) snap je nu dat er in Nederland flink wat motoren geïmporteerd moeten worden, alleen al om aan de vraag naar tweedehands motoren te kunnen voldoen.

Nederlanders staan bekend om het aanschaffen van motorfietsen met veel cc’s, dit is vanwege compensatie voor het slecht bochten kunnen rijden. Logisch bochten zijn hier ook schaars, van een klaverblad leer je niet rijden zullen we maar zeggen. En het liefst hebben we 2 cilinders op onze nieuwe motor volgens de cijfers.

Aantal cilinders - Aantal motoren (*) 1 - 2606 2 - 7879 3 - 1008 4 - 1815 6 - 139

Delen we dit even snel in 4 categorieën dan zijn de verkopen in de middenklasse tussen 500 en 1000cc, ondanks de populaire zware allroads, veruit de grootste groep (de knip na 1200cc is om de grote choppers en toerbuffels te scheiden).

CC | Aantal (*) 100-499 | 2767 500-999 | 5852 1000-1299 | 3380 1300 > | 1447

De motor met de grootste cilinderinhoud is de Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide / Street Glide met een 1923cc 2-cilinderblok. Dan heb je dus 2 zuigers zo groot als melkpakken. Hiervan zijn er evengoed 73 van verkocht met een catalogus prijs van €47.500 tot €50.900. Mij hoor je niets impliceren maar iets zegt mij dat deze motoren veel contant afgerekend werden.

Allroad Adventure verkopen

Half Nederland rijdt reeds op een GS maar alsnog wilden ruim 1000 mensen de grootste allroad van BMW: een nieuwe R 1200/1250 GS. Daarmee wederom het best verkochte model van Nederland. Zestig procent van alle verkochte BMW’s is een Allroad/Adventure model. Als je de motorbladen een beetje doorbladert is Ducati natuurlijk het troetelkindje maar met 517 verkochte aantallen kiest de klant in aanschaf toch anders. De Multistrada 1200/1260 zorgde wel met 100 stuks voor 20% van de Duc verkopen. De Honda CRF1000 Afrika Twin deed dat met 137 stuks net iets beter, maar Kawasaki deed met 189 voor de Versys 1000 betere zaken. Dat is ook 3 stuks meer dan de KTM 1290 Super Adventure. Suzuki doet met de V-strom DL1000 lekker mee: 164 verkochte allroads. Opvallend is de Moto Guzzi V85, deze Italiaanse nieuwkomer wist er 97 te slijten en daarmee de Triumph Tiger 1200 (74stuks) en de Yamaha XT1200 (30 stuks) ver achter zich laat.

Wel opmerkelijk om te zien dat de Allroad verkopen bij BMW, KTM en Ducati voornamelijk op de grote +1200cc machines plaatsvindt. Bij de Japanners en de Brit is dit namelijk andersom. Hier vinden de meeste verkopen op de kleine avontuur broertjes plaats. Kawasaki verkoopt 189 Versys 1000 en 227 Versys 650 modellen. Bij Suzuki is dat nog extremer met 164 voor de V-strom 1000 en 280 stuks op de V-strom 650. Honda doet het natuurlijk anders en verkoopt 2 kleine allroads, de CB500X (78 stuks) en de NC750X (195 stuks) tegen 137 Africa Twin 1000. Bij Triumph hebben we het over 75 grote 1200 Tigers tegen 126 Tiger 800 modellen. Bouwen Japanners betere motoren met een blok wat een niveau hoger aanvoelt? Je zou het haast denken… *en mompelt nog iets over prijs en Hollanders*

Supersport verkopen

De categorie die de afgelopen jaren de meeste klappen heeft gehad doet het nog steeds erg slecht. Opvallend genoeg doet de Kawasaki Ninja 650 het met 112 stuks gewoon goed en laat vele populaire allroad en naked modellen achter zich. De Kawa Ninja H2 met turbo (nee, je moet zeggen Supercharged) was afgelopen jaren met geen mogelijkheid uit de motorbladen te branden. Natuurlijk wil iedereen wel eens op zo’n +/+200pk sterk turbo-ding rijden en dus deed iedere journalist zijn verhaal in elk motorblad, voor mijn gevoel soms wel 3x. Maar er zijn uiteindelijk 28 klanten geweest die tussen de €22.000 en €35.000 voor die compressormotor wilden neertellen. Is dat veel? Het is er nog geen 1 per Kawa dealer. Maar wel evengoed 4 meer dan bijvoorbeeld de Suzuki GSX-R1000. De BMW R 1200 RR doet met 40 stuks ook geen goede zaken. Zelfs supersport merk Ducati verkoopt maar 76 racers. Wellicht ook veroorzaakt doordat de naked bikes bijna net zo krachtig zijn als de supersports en allroads bijna allemaal minimaal 100pk hebben. En tjsa, waar kun je nu nog even lekker het blok schoonblazen in Nederland met je supersport?

Scramblers

Ook een segment dat lekker oogt en oeverloos wordt besproken en getest in de bladen. De verkoopcijfers laten echter zien dat dit toch nog steeds een klein groepje liefhebbers betreft. Van alle BMW’s is 5% een scrambler maar wel over 5 verschillende R Nine T varianten. Yamaha doet het met de XSR 700/900 nog redelijk met 77 stuks, Ducati doet het met 66 Scramblers iets minder, Triumph zet er 50 weg. Daarachter komen nog wel merken als Suzuki en Mash met een paar scrambler achtige motoren en marginale verkopen.

Elektrisch rijden

Ondanks alle milieuhypes zijn we als motorrijders vergeleken met de stekker-auto’s nog niet echt lekker bezig. De merken Energica, KTM en Zero zijn vooralsnog de enige verkochte stroom-motoren die in de lijst voorkomen, Zero heeft bijna 100 motorfietsen verkocht met een gemiddelde prijs van ruim €19.500. Energica zette er 14 op de weg met een niet malse gemiddelde prijs die bijna 10.000 euro hoger ligt: €28800 Vijf mensen schaften een elektrische crosser met kenteken aan, de KTM Freeride. BMW verkocht 23 maal een C Evolution elektrische scooter.

Gemiddeld liggen de prijzen van Energica met €2500 hoger dan wat ze voor een Harley vragen, ook best knap. Wat ook knap is zijn de gemiddelde prijzen van BMW (ruim €22.000) die daarmee €1700 hoger uitkomt dan Ducati, waarbij de Duitsers nog een aantal 300 en 400cc modellen in het gamma hebben. Maar de K1600 modellen van ruim €35.000 compenseren dat ruim. De 34 verkochte Honda GL1800 Goldwings kunnen ook niet op tegen de 60 K 1600 GT Beemers in het grote luxe tour-segment.

Nog wat opvallende details: Duccati 1299 Superleggera €87.800 (1 stuk) Harley Davidson CVO ULTRA LIMITED €50,900 (15 stuks) Ducati Panigale V4 25 ANNIVERSARIO 916 €47.500 (1 stuk) Er is 1 Norton Commando Sport verkocht, cataloguswaarde hiervan is €23.800. Het voordeligste model is de kleine motorscooter Honda Vision NSC110 voor €1928,- (*) De leukste motorfiets is nog steeds de Honda Monkey waar er 60 stuks van zijn verkocht.

Cijfermatig verkoopt Suzuki evenveel allroads als Kawasaki, alleen verkoopt laatstgenoemde wel 3x zoveel nakeds en 6x zoveel sport motoren. Zeker 10 trial motoren zijn op kenteken gezet in 2019 (GasGas, Montesa (Honda), TRS) Het merk Beta heeft 61 motoren verkocht maar geen enkel typevermelding is terug te vinden in de RDW data, wel kans dat hier nog een trial tussen zit.

Nakeds, ingewikkeld

Vanwege het grote aantal verschillende types en modellen wat moeilijk te analyseren. Is een caferacer ook een naked? Is de Neo-retro zoals de Kawasaki Z900RS een naked? Per merk zijn de verschillen groot, sommige merken hebben zelfs geen naked in de folder. Kijk je alleen naar de Z serie van Kawa die daarin meer dan 1000 stuks van verkopen dan zegt hel al genoeg, het staat voor 40% van die totaal verkopen. Het percentage naked verkopen bij Honda ligt op 20% en bij Suzuki op 26%. Duitse nakeds zijn we niet zo weg van, nog geen 7% van de verkochte BMW’s zijn een naked.

Choppers enzo

Gast! Je vergeet de choppers, baggers, A1 rijbewijs motoren en supermoto’s hoor ik je roepen. Klopt, geen zin in 🙂 Net zo min als de motorscooters en alle tussenvormen van motoren. Niet dat ik daar geen interesse in heb, integendeel zelfs, maar het bericht is al lang genoeg en ik wilde nu wel eens op Publiceer drukken. In voorgaande jaren vond je nog wel een zijspan in de lijsten, nu niet meer. De Piaggio MP3 staat nu geregistreerd als Driewielig voertuig, hoewel de Yamaha Niken wel gewoon 38 maal geregistreerd staat als motorfiets. In die categorie staan overigens heel veel Twizzy’s, quads en invalide wagentjes die toch echt allemaal 4 wielen hebben.

Disclaimer

(*) De cijfers zijn op 18 dec. opgehaald. Op 1 jan 2020 heb ik nog het laatste restje van 114 motoren binnengehaald om de uiteindelijke top 10 te finaliseren.

Om de lijst wat meer op wegmotoren toe te spitsen heb ik een aantal merken weggelaten, dit betreft veelal Chinese troep motorscooters tot 300cc, zoals Kymco, Turbho, NUI, SYM, Skyteam, Longjia, Rieju, Heshan, Znen, en Peugeot. Dit vertekent het beeld met ongeveer 300 stuks in de kleinste categorieën. Kleine foutjes zijn mij nooit aan te rekenen, grote vergissingen overigens ook niet.

2019 Monterey Motor Week from arthur von wiesenberger on Vimeo.

Monterey Motor Week is known for a number of things especially the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. But other events also make the week exceptional including the Tour d’elegance , a morning journey that went from Pebble Beach to Carmel-by-the-Sea and back. Along the way fans lined the streets as they witnesses and heard this rolling museum of spectacular machines.

Behind the scenes the cars are polished up after the cruise. A rare Chrysler Le Baron Thunderbolt, belonging to an owner from Denver Colorado is one of only five.

A Ford GT 40 is the only aluminum body made. It currently lives in Indiana.

There was a rare 1913 blue Bugatti

A 1935 Packard 1204 Super 8 Coupe Roadster had a 150 horsepower L-Head straight eight engine. This streamlined Packard was styled by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky. This car is one of 11 known to survive - and one of three to have a rear mounted spare wheel.

Auctions are also a big part of Motor Week. Some of the most exciting and rarest cars were sold by Gooding & Company.

This 2005 Ferrari 575 Superamerica realized a price of $240,800

A 2018 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso 70th anniversary edition flew out the door at $417,800 … not a bad price for a stylish station wagon

This fun loving 1961 Fiat 600 Jolly with wicker seats and a canopy fringe sold for $156,800

For those in need of speed, Niki Lauda’s 1975 Ferrari 312T, the one he drove and ultimately won the 1975 Formula One Drivers Championship passed the finish line at the auction for $6 million.

A couple of Highway Patrol officers were looking at the 2015 Aston Martin Vulcan and when we asked if they could catch it they said, no way. “I��d just turn off my lights and turn around to go home”. This one didn’t sell at its $2million estimate so it turned around and went home too.

A 2007 Ferrari F430 Challenge race car sold for a bargain price of $72,800

But foreign exotics weren’t the only stars at Gooding. This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06 Big Tank Split Window Coupe came with the factory “Special Performance Equipment” which performed well and sold for $588,000.

But the 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO didn't reach its $600,000 estimate.

This Porsche came with its original window sticker, a car sold by a dealership in Goleta, California called Trans World Auto. It was a good investment for someone.

Lamborghini’s first production model, the elegant 1965 350 GT, got an elegant price of $610,000.

But this 1997 Ferrari F50 didn’t reach its reserve and estimate of $2,800,000. Nor did this racing 1989 Jaguar XJR-10 at $1,500,000.

But this unusual strawberry metallic 1955 Mercedes- Benz 300 SL Gullwing did catch the eye of a buyer at $1,435,000 - -unrestored but a fine example of the original 64 year old car.

Other vintage and prewar cars, some that are boat tail roadsters, were stunning to look at even if they were mechanically challenging.

The 1986 Citroen Deux Chevaux Dolly sold for $28,000. Sacre Bleu, this was a real deal for this French cultural icon.

For a little fun, and little being the operative word, this 1959 BMW Isetta 300 sold beyond its estimate at $41,440.

For the buyer who wanted a Ferrari at a bargain this 1967 Ferrari 330 P2 sold for only $35,840.. But it was a 5/8 scale Ferrari designed for children.

A stunning 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Series 1 Cabriolet, originally belonging to Prince Alessandro Ruspoli in Rome, it was at the time the most expensive 250 GT and one of the most successful collaborations between Pinin Farina and Ferrari. It’s hammer price was $6,800,000.

Other classic post war cars were statements of their era. A particularly eye catching example was a 1948 Delahaye 135MS Cabriolet. It was one of 3 by Faget Varnet and was the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Class Winner in 2008. It sold for $550,000.

Steve McQueen, an avid motorcycle and financier of the motorcycle classic movie, On Any Sunday, had this 1936 Indian Chief. Unrestored it was sold in the 1984 McQueen Estate Auction in Las Vegas. Asking $240,000 it is still available and open to offers.

A 2019 McLaren Senna, derived from McLaren’s 720S, has remarkable aerodynamics, a duel clutch, seven speed gearbox and a 4.0 liter twin turbocharged engine that produces 789 horsepower. Available at $1,500,000.

The 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Superflow was one of the most advanced sports cars of the early 1950s. Only 8 were built making this a very rare car and available at $5.5 million.

The 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, one of 36, sold for $5,100,00.

The Gooding auction made a number of records thanks in part to the charming auctioneering talents of Charlie Ross who has also been an antique expert on numerous BBC programs. One of the records set was for the unique Czechoslovakian 1938 Tatra T77A Limousine which sold for $412,000, a pinnacle of prewar design. The Gooding auction realized more than $76 million sold and 17 of the cars sold over the $1 mark.

These Almost-New Performance Cars Are Absolute Bargains | HotCars

New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/these-almost-new-performance-cars-are-absolute-bargains-hotcars/

These Almost-New Performance Cars Are Absolute Bargains | HotCars

The world of top of the line sports activities cars is one filled with quagmires, a minimum of for the consumers. Oftentimes, the very best and most sought-after vehicles would be the newest, fastest versions, that are as costly as they are quick . And while used performance vehicles tend to be cheap, they present a high risk of failures and repair costs.

For average vehicle enthusiasts (such as ourselves), the possibility of attaining a high-cost, factory-fresh sports car at a sensible price is slim in order to none. There is, however , an alternative solution. No, it's not getting an old classic , but a nearly-new design - One that's depreciated enough to be worth the cash and time.

8 2016 BMW M240i - 35 dollars, 000

Traveling. ca

On the higher-end of the "affordable" scale, we - obviously - have a foreign producer. None other than the German-based THE CAR and their previous 1-Series replacement, the 2017 THE CAR M240i.

AutoGuide

Because of the fact that this is still a THE CAR, the 2-Series isn't likely to be as affordable because the rest of our picks. Nevertheless , with that extra money comes the far superior interior and exterior style, along with a well-built engine fine-tined by Bavaria's greatest auto division - BMW Mirielle.

RELATED: All you Should Know About The 2021 THE CAR 2-Series Coupe

7 Alfa Romeo Giulia Usted - $38, 000

Motor1

Alfa Romeo is becoming one of Italy's greatest carmakers. While they'd previously already been known for their unreliability (as well as the handful of famous racers), they've since produced into a mix of affordable plus fast performance vehicles. The most popular, by far, is the Alfa Romeo Giulia.

Vehicle Camera Story

The particular Giulia comes in several limits: the base Giulia, Giulia Usted, Giulia Quadrifoglio, and Giulia GTA. With affordability in your mind, our attention is focused to the Ti. It's a middle-ground between fastest and the most cost-effective versions, which is a fantastic begin for anyone looking for an authentic Italian language sports car.

six 2019 Avoid Challenger R/T - thirty-five dollars, 000

Electronic Trends

Dodge is currently one-for-one within muscle car remakes. They will may've failed in recapturing the soul of the second-generation Charger , but Dodge still was able to do the Challenger justice, since evidenced by the recent body-style 2019 Challenger R/T.

Once the Hellcat plus Demon models had released, the Challenger got a small facelift to accommodate for the more recent design. Ever since the Opposition has been as good-looking since it is angry!

The particular HEMI V8 package, selection of a manual transmission, as well as a soon-to-be 'future classic' associated with 2018-'19 Challenger R/T certainly one of our first picks.

ASSOCIATED: This Is How The particular Dodge Challenger Evolved Previously 50 Years

5 2018 Ford Mustang GRAND TOURING - $29, 000

Motor1

This choice is the 'gimmie', so to speak. Since the eighties, the Ford Mustang offers served as a stalwart sort of the cost-effective American muscle tissue car. Although already acceptable from the start, a slightly-used 1 will be a far better bargain (and with only a tiny bit a lot more miles).

Vehicle and Driver

Depending on where you go/look (whether it be a car dealership or private seller), GT's can come in all types of price-ranges. Such as other muscle cars, the particular Mustang has a lot of extra trims and add-ons that can increase the resale - With respect to the specific item, of course.

Yet, even with the fully-loaded Mustang GT Superior, we'd be surprised to get one for more than about ~$32, 500 or so; $28, 000 in the lowest .

RELATED: Shelby GT350 Compared to GT Performance Pack Degree 2: Here's Which Mustang Is Right For You

4 2019 Subaru WRX - ~$28, 000

CNET

People who aren't always thinking about straight-line racing or muscles cars might want something besides a Challenger or pricey BMW. Instead, we appear to Japan for our share of inexpensive, effective, and stunning vehicles. Case and point, the particular 2019 Subaru WRX!

Motor Authority

Off-road, on the road, rally racing, street race, and everything in between. The particular WRX excels at all of these! For a little bit, we were concerned about the WRX's fate; whether or not it would be discontinued like the Mitsubishi EVO. Thankfully, though, it can still here. Now, we are able to get older models for a lot less, without fear of the value skyrocketing out of nowhere (at minimum, before we can get our own hands on one).

several 2017 Toyota 86 - $20, 500

Carscoops

Speaking of awesome Japanese sports cars, there might be another that has steadily developed in popularity over the past number of years. None other than the Toyota 86 (formerly known as the Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ).

Road & Track

With Subaru's split through Toyota's current 86 style, the two models have varied themselves. The BRZ may be the new, updated model, as the Toyota 86 is still putting on the original body-style. As such, the particular 86 will be a lot much less over time, so long as the look remains the same.

If this were us, we'd maintain the original anyways. Plus, this looks much better with a Toyota badge than a Subaru a single, as well.

RELATED: 2022 Toyota 86: Expenses, Facts, And Figures

2 2020 Honda Social Si - $23, 1000

Road & Track

Countless times on this internet site, we've recommended for the Honda Civic getting among the greatest entry-level sports activities cars , best 'bang-for-your-buck, and so much more. Now, imagine just how much better the value could be in case you waited a year or 2.

Hooniverse

Assuming you discover a low-mileage, well-maintained one-year-old Honda Civic, odds are it's going to be significantly less than the starting Mirielle. S. R. P. by yourself. With a bit over ten, 000 - 20, 500 miles and the depreciation taken into consideration, we wouldn't be amazed if there were examples actually cheaper than what we possess listed here, as well.

one Volkswagen Golfing GTI - $24, 1000

Auto Exhibit

Vw hasn't been the most impressive carmaker as of late. After the emissions scandal a while back, consumers are already wary of VW. Nevertheless, set up rest of the company falls towards the wayside, some things'll certainly not change. Chief amongst all of them is their Golf versions!

Hot Vehicles HQ

The Golf has always been an ideal 'hot hatch' for all earnings brackets. The size makes it useful in dense urban areas, although without sacrificing internal storage space plus comfort. But , to all of us car-lovers, the most important part is certainly its performance! The GTI's will satisfy that wanting at a suitable price, yet 'R' trims will go even more (not without more money, though).
