The title to this makes no sense.

Really? Who knew. Over here they were sort of seen as jokes. But then again they were probably dumbed down for the US market. I think they made them here as Pontiacs too so who knows what they actually stuck under the hood?

I'd be excited to see 100 of those cars on a race track all at once.

I learned that if I eat a lot of saukraut I fart up a storm

I was almost NP... until I saw the big fucking dent on the door... Sorry, CP.

Actually all of it except for the suitcase.

awww.... aint it cute? Its so hipstery-dipstery I can barely contain myself.

I feel sorry for the van.

Yeah because we all know what that is.

Ironic seeing as how you are seemingly accusing me of being judgemental while then in turn being judgemental to me. But nevertheless, if you don’t like my comment you are of course free to comment against it. Whether I give a flyin’ fuck is another matter altogether.

Well, I have a old Tacoma ( its basically the Hilux you guys have over there ) and its also pretty damned good. The thing about the XJ is that the innards use a lot of really ancient hardware. His has a straight 6 engine and some variation of it has been around since the 60's. There isn’t a whole lot to it either.

My wife and I are not typical ( by stereotypical measures ) in that she’s around 6 foot and I’m 5'7", which is problematic because my truck with a bench seat means she has to sit squished up against the dash or in the car we have to adjust the seat back and forth every time one of us takes the car. That and my…

I agree 100%. Furthermore its the exact same bullshit as before where the bulk of those full size truck sales are going merely to your typical suburbanite weekend warrier who might buy a sack of cement or a few sticks of lumber from time to time, whom want to look like a “Big boy” out there on the freeway and who use…

I have a friend in South Carolina who inherited his Dad’s 96' XJ and he has literally beat the living crap out of the thing. As in he doesn’t treat it like you should such as not changing the coolant or transmission fluid, etc, of which I’ve gotten on to him about repeatedly. Yet somehow he has 600,000 miles on it so…

Its the last time that Volvo actually had not only great looking but original designs.

Not sure if he was complimenting of Tesla or not. But that said, this was published in 2014 and so now that its clear Tesla very much kenw what they were doing and delivered the goods Audi and literally every other German automaker have jumped on board. And yet what does Audi have? They have a A4 that won’t even go 20…

ha ha ha! I was about to post the same thing.

Is it me or do cars like these have appeal only because today’s cars are so outright boring? What should be considered ugly as hell seems “quaint” when compared to the onslaught of sameness offered to us these days in the form of model after model, regardless of brand that looks like another flavor of lozenze with…

I kind of doubt they would ever come to the US. To do so would require a gynormous amount of money from VAG. The cars would all have to be made US-compliant. They would also have to either modify their existing models for US tastes or come up with entirely new models. They would also likely need to invest in at least…

If the Audi above was one of those from the era where they would on occasion throw themselves into reverse then not sure its neccesarily a good thing...
