Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I saw an ad for this car a few minutes ago, with the question, what is it underneath.

    It gave two answers, both in the poll. Can you tell what it is? (both are american models btw)

    I thought it was an interesting way to advertise the car.

    Well, I couldn't really be arsed at this stage to change it, the cats out of the bag.

    It did confuse some people at first though. I think its a good way to advertise a car.

    Surely it's a tacit confession that they tried copying a major competitor? Like if Citroen did it with the C5 and a 3 series...
