Has got to be my favorite builder of "domestic" cars, I have always loved how he makes them look business like and how he uses the seventies styling clues to get a unique look...  I wouldn't like to have the big rims he uses, but the man has a cool approach to the building...   Just check out this interview:

I hate big wheels on any car, but that black/orange car looks pretty tough. Thankfully, they're black and not chrome. Gotta give the guy credit; those cars are very well thought out.

I love big wheels on any cars except old beetles ( i love it on 68- German look beetles).

This is why i love big wheels on US cars, because they are mine.... 8)

Many people don't like Pro-Touring because they prefer to tow their trailer queen to shows,  or to the strip because their car is a nightmare to drive on street.
P-T is like a german look beetle, it's made to ride with a lot of pleasure even in the corners !!
Big wheels make room for big brakes !!!  ;D

WOW. That wagon (estate, outside of the U.S) is KILLER. I've seen you post pics of it before... but it's still cool. Don't see those on the road much anymore.
