I think it's the new VW ID Buzz

It's the Kia one I think

Looks like a KDM car. Korean domestic market. Never seen one before. How did you get one of these here ?! Or is this overseas somewhere ?

Badhobz that looks like an awesome trip. Makes me nostalgic for my road trip down to LA/SF. I want to go again now...

Revscene meet in LA/SF :D

It was a lot of fun. Even better doing it solo as I always wanted to do this drive at my own pace in a convertible. If you guys have the option to do it in a drop top, please do that. It makes a world of difference and your soul will thank you for it.

Good tunes + worlds best views + a big comfy couch to watch everything = best 3 days of my automotive life.

I also realized that dynamism isn’t as important as comfort and luxury when you are going on long long trips. I thought I’d be blasting each apex along the Oregon coast but instead I was just going the speed limit it or even below it just to catch as much of that scenery as possible. It’s a great driving road (hwy 101, 1, etc) but you need a good comfortable seat to endure the long tedious boredom of the i5 when you come back.

The sc430 is perfect for that. Barely dynamic enough for the twistys but comfortable as hell for the 15h straight shot I did on the way back. If it wasn’t for that car I don’t think I would be able to stand it.

Ps. US roads are trash for the most part. Even along the coast most of it is horribly littered with potholes and ruts. You need suspension travel. You need sidewalls. If you bring your low profile bbs rims, prepare to be stuck on the side of the road calling AAA (if you can even get a signal)

Pps. If you’re gonna go, go now. Temps down along the coast are relatively the same as ours. 20-25 during the day. It’s nice. Any later in the year and you’ll fry like an egg if you have the top down.

Hyundai Staria is the correct answer! It's a funky AWD diesel minivan with Ioniq 5 styling and I rented it from Sixt Australia for my Sydney to Melbourne road trip with family. So far it's been a comfortable highway cruiser - a bit down on power - but Australia's strict speeding rules won't let me speed anyway without some hefty speeding tickets.

That said, I wish this was available as a rental instead:

That's gotta be one one of the ugliest steering wheels in 2023.

Treated myself to an A6 Avant in Germany. It's so nice to just cruise at 170/180 KM/H with no drama with a few sprints up to 220 when it's clear.

Also went to Brands Hatch to watch some classic 60's Le Mans and 70's F1 cars race. In the lot I came across this and thought Producer may enjoy:

Luckily it's a US model E55 so import is as easy as it gets.

That being said, I sold my Canadian model silver E55 back in 2020 and was happy with the results.

One of these is not like the other, but they both go on the track!
