Was going to suggest that!
There's another Toyota and Vauxhall that shared a name too in the past. Can't think of it.

Why would a thread like this get closed but one looking for the differences between an se and es BMW stays open?

Seriously this is getting old.. Any thread with a title containing the term "No Googling" should be auto-deleted and the initiator perma-banned..

It's a motors forum. We're having motors discussions. Do you know anything about cars? Is a car to you something to get from A to B? If so, then why are you bothered about what goes on in a Motors forum?
What makes you happy? "My Golf has a light on, what should I do?" or "A guard stopped me and made me cry, where can I go to get away with my points?" or "I'm a clueless idiot, but somehow I think I can magically go to England and get a fantastic deal on a car. What does HPI stand for?".
It's all B0LL0CKS. The difference between an se and es BMW for f**k sake. It's on the bmw website! Which is quicker, a 335i or 335d? Again, on the website.
Instead of coming on here and whinging, why don't you lead the way and start a thread about something motor related that you'd like to see more of?

And your rant wasn't aimless? You come into a thread to complain about it. Why don't you contribute rather than criticise.

Are these not the same car?

DundalkDuffman

I drive a Ford Cougar and found out to my cost that there was an american one that is totally different. Of course I had to have bought parts to learn that :rolleyes: There is a differently badged one all right but there is one from the eighties that is totally different.

colm_mcm

it looks pretty similar to me, although I believe the engine lineup in the States is different. i.e they're bigger!
they're essentially the same thing though aren't they?
