Might be blind spot warning radars, although these tend to be angled more to the side than the back.

Most of the rumors and hints in Subaru and Toyota press releases say that both cars won't be sold in Europe, most likely due to regulation (probably total emission goals for each manufacturer)....

Same as the greatest Porsche is always the previous generation (except the 996, nobody likes those). People always bemoan change, but by the time the next change comes along the previous change is...

Yep. Fast, light, cheap. Pick two. Although that's a bit biased, as you can gain "fast" by going "light" (aka Colin Chapman), but it's far easier to gain "fast" by putting a bigger engine, where a...

I don't think there's a technical limitation, just need to focus on sporty requirements - lightweight, handling over power. The original Tesla Roadster was going (somewhat) in that direction - based...
