I always liked the Evo Wagons, they where kind of cute. Sadly, ever so rare too
the 2nd gen. There were 3 generations of Magna, the really old box, the 2nd gen (mine) which were the better looking ones (mid 90's), then the 3rd gen with the angluar nose (then the bullet nose right at the end of the run) and the boxy rear.

really? going slower could reduce stopping times? So if I was going 100 km/h I would stop faster than if I was going 200 km/h? wow thanks for that!
And thanks for pointing out the ad that I was referring to in the first place. Wow..you must be retarded!!! LOL!
...I was merely doubting that the difference of 10 mph is about 20 ft. I might be wrong, but it seemed like a big difference. Upon further review, it seems in the higher speed run, the brake was not constantly engaged, unless ABS allows 3 full wheel revolutions between brake applications (which seems a bit much) bc the car continued to roll after impact. Finally, the ad ignores the fact that the driver of an ABS-equipped car should use the sytem to steer away from obstacles instead of continuing to drive at them.
Not encouraging people to speed, ffs, but just looking for whether the ad is stretching the truth for impact.

Ah, now I know the one. I thought you had a 380 and from memory they didn't make them a wagon... I don't think. 380's aren't a bad car either, the VR-X AWD one a few years ago was pretty cool.

So many of my friends have done that, just because they wanted to go through a booze bus lol

yeah agree. I quite liked the AWD versions too, a Ralliart AWD would've been great i reckon.
No wagon 380

We used to have some quite dramatic adverts here in Brazil, but nowhere nearly as graphical.

Now that ad is messed up. I have to admit, I think the worst part of a car accident is not what you see all the time but just hearing people scream.

This is the best one I've seen. It was shown in UK cinemas a lot of the past year. Took me bu surprise the first time I saw it.

There's a word that sums up this sort of behaviour, and that word is 'reject.'
