Vehicle of The Day

[Dagger311]

10/10/14: Trident Iceni, nominated by @Leggy1.

Specs. Am I the only person who sees a hint of Jag/Aston in it?

 

[Leggy1]

@Dagger311 The link for specs doesn't work. Here's some info on the car from Autocar: http://m.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/trident-iceni-diesel-sports-car-revealed

I see more TVR in it than anything else. It's a GT car so similar to a Jag or Aston.

Also, up to 1050lbs ft of torque That's about 60% of what the MAZ (featured earlier) has.

 

[Dagger311]

Fixed the specs, thanks 👍.

It does look TVR-ish, actually.

 

[Leggy1]

Very curvy, reminds me of a Tuscan.

The company are about 20 miles away from where I live. It's fitting that a sports car from tractorland is diesel

 

[Dagger311]

tractorland

I think 'Murica gives you a run for your money on tractorland... We wrote songs about how sexy they are.




Idea: Tractors are my next five nominations.

Why?

Why?

Why not?

Why?

For catching them agri-yobs

I should tell one more thing about these. My dad has one of the very rare left-hand-drive models.

A regular ZT or the 260?

I guess they aren't too popular outside of Britain.

ZT-T 260. Regular one is more common.

Edit:

We have had 3 MG ZTs ...

 

[Leggy1]

260. Regular one is more common.

Awesome! A rare car now, even here.

The ZT is one of MG's best cars.

 

[Legro]

I would post a picture, but it's past midnight and there are too many pictures on the computer to find one easily.

10/11/14: 2014 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan, nominated by me, @Dagger311.

Specs. I specifically chose the sedan because it's one of my dream daily drivers. The perfect blend of practicality (trunk space, and back seats for the kiddies), luxury (Sound reduction, very, very nice interior, plenty of leg room), and muscle (556 horsepower, 551 ft-lbs torque, and 0-60 in 3.9 seconds? Sounds like muscle to me!).

 

[JAHHAJ]

The sedan is better looking than the coupe, the coupe looks horrible at the back.

 

[Dagger311]

The sedan is better looking than the coupe, the coupe looks horrible at the back.

I agree. The coupe just looks terribly portioned compared to the sedan to me.

Still a pretty good-looking car though, just not as good as the sedan.

Expect the new vehicle around five PM EST. Today is nominations, you have roughly 3 hours to fit them in before the drawing.

 

[Dagger311]

Notice: New rule added.

If a vehicle has already been picked as Vehicle of the Day, you may not nominate it. This prevents the same car from being picked multiple time.

Wasn't that a rule since beginning.

 

[Dagger311]

No, the rule you're thinking of prevented someone from double-nominating a car, to give it more chances. Here's an example of this rule:

Tesla Model S has been chosen as VOTD, and was nominated by X.
No one can nominate the Tesla again, because it's already been picked.

The other rule basically says this:

X nominates the Tesla.
X may not nominate the Tesla again.

Just some nitpicking I did, trying to prevent cars from being selected twice.

10/12/14: 2012 Infiniti FX50 Sebastian Vettel Edition, nominated by @GranTurismo916.

Specs unknown. Couldn't find any reliable info, except it's fast, and costs way more than I'd ever pay for an SUV.

[Leggy1]

I think it has about 420hp, 0-60 in 5.6 and 155mph.

And £100K, that is very expensive.

That's as much as the new Viper in USD.

Or a 2014 Vette and a really nice 1969 Camaro SS.

Or the CTS-V sedan from yesterday and a new Mercedes-Benz.

 

[Parker]

You would think that a Formula 1 driver would have his name on a sports car rather than an SUV. I am a fan of Vettel but this thing is atrocious, in my opinion.

 

[Leggy1]

Or the CTS-V sedan from yesterday and a new Mercedes-Benz.

If you want an SUV, for the same price here you could get a Range Rover 5.0 Supercharged V8 (500bhp) in the top trim level. Or a Cayenne Turbo for £92K.

Although the Infiniti is rare and more interesting, but I don't like it.

 

[Dagger311]

I don't really care for SUVs in general.

Well, new ones anyway. 75 Suburban SS with a 454? I'm in.

Should've nominated that, actually.

 

[Legro]

And the Vehicle of The Day is... ...Crossover SUV with a name of an F1 driver.

One of the few Toyotas I actually kind of like, gets a thumbs up from me.

 

[Dagger311]

10/14/14: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1, nominated by me, @Dagger311.

Specs, a few pictures, and some history. One of my favorite Corvettes. Not the prettiest, but one of the meanest. Has the same 427 engine as the Camaro ZL1 of the same year. Only approximately seven of these were made.
