LPG?
By the way, what is a DS? Is it that strange looking thing that's very low to the ground?

Strange does not mean ugly.
The DS is strange looking, as it does not look like any other car :grin:

Ahh... so an alternative form of fuel? Interesting. The only thing similar I can think of is E85 ethanol.



That's what I thought it was. :wink: As far as style goes, I always thought it looked a little ungainly :ohwell:

Yes, but as they produce much less LPG than other fuel types from raw petrol, this won't replace these other fuel types. And it does not solve the problem anyway since it is still derivated from petrol.

In the 80s my parent's car used that, as it was much cheaper.

1963 Mercury Monterey. Apparently my great aunt had one. Sorry to interrupt but I felt that had to be idenified. Also wanted to post this one which I just found today:

Back

It was parked out front of the grocery store I work at in upstate New York. Really rare around here. I thought at first it was a Triumph or and old MG which would have been less exciting. However, it turned out to be an early 1960's Austin Healey Sprite. Never even heard of it before today.

Just saw a black Rolls-Royce Phantom cruising by on the street, but I couldn't get a picture of it. There is also a white Fiat Uno that I see at a construction site all the time, apparently being used as a daily driver.

Yeah, that's why it was interesting since modern Fiats are rarely seen.

I just have seen in the database, that the "Avenger" I've seen today, was a Dodge. The logo on the back and the front grille was unknown for me.
It was a rental car (by the combination on the plate).

I'm sorry, but it just has bad quality/reliability issues, as do many newer Chrysler products. The interior is very cheap, hard, and plastic-y. It does not drive paticulary nice, and the four-cylinder engine is appearantly slow and noisy. I geuss it's an ok car, it is just not nearly as good as any of the others on the market.
I'm not talking about its styling necessarily (which is most likely what you like about it), I don't really mind the way it looks. Although it does have simply horrible visibilty, especially because of the "hump" on the back door, along with the high decklid. But many other newer cars have poor visibilty also, so that's not too unique to the Avenger :wink:

Big? Well I guess for Europe yes, but it's just medium sized here at only 190 inches. Maybe the styling just makes it look bigger. The Charger is much bigger (full-size), but of course you probably know this, why am I telling you :wink:

Yes, for Europe it is a big car, as weve mentioned other times it does not have the average size of a car that would be bought by someone without family or my young people, so its big.

I wish they had made the new Avenger better. The original was really a great car. Looked a lot like a Mitsubishi 3000GT. Also just found this car the other day:

Pretty sure it's a 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air. There's also a 68 Dodge Dart that's around here but I haven't seen it in a week or so.
