So in other words, it’s completely subjective!

About five jobs ago, I worked at a place that did a lot of shopping. We called UPS “U Pray and Save.”
What I like about this is that it’s a direct response to what many of us here have wanted all along: “CAN WE PLEASE HAVE OUR AUDIS MORE COMPLICATED?!”
I remember the manuals on these being pretty vague and goopy-feeling, and the clutch sort of spongy too. Not a “fun” kind of manual; more like a truck. My vision of hi-po Volvos is like that of M-B: auto box, peg it and go kind of thing. Neat car though.
THE original motor, or AN original motor? A real distinction for the concours crowd. Beautiful BMW!
7. Nash was the first and only car company to use the phrase “There’s murder in the sky” in its advertising copy!
My favorite feature about these is the interior avalanche that happens when you open the door of a snow-covered Tesla.
I like where the comments are going: at the $30K price point a maxed-out Accord or Mazda6 is the more luxurious car than a base GLA or whatever. A badge does not luxury make.
If you strategically pull some choice words and attributes from this ad, it would get any gearhead’s hackles up: V12; Cosworth; 7,000 rpm redline, 6-speed manual; carbon fiber; LSD. Yet somehow, the sum of all these parts just doesn’t seem all that special or desirable in this package.

VAG product, turbo diesel, has a battery. It’s basically an Audi R18. For $2,500?! NP!!
I don’t know much about this class of racing: Hie different from factory are the Ferraris and Astons and Porsches, etc?
How do Phil Collins and/or Peter Gabriel sound on the stereo?
You can tell he’s a man of refinement: look at that pinky!
He drives stick! Does this interior shed any light on the proposed models?
You know, we would have gotten the metaphor of the graphic without the superimposed logos. It kinda loses the subtlety that way.
How does the relative scarcity of these affect parts availability and pricing in the future? I want to like FCA (and Chryslers/Dodges in general) but with such little continuity in corporate ownership doesn't that affect parts and supplier contracts? Not long ago I was at my trusty shop and the guy picking up his…
My first car was an 86 Cutlass in white with bordello red velour. It was loud and slow with the Iron Duke and 3-speed auto. The air conditioning was fantastic though. But best of all were the Delco 6 x 9 speakers in the back deck. We let all the fly skimmers feel the beat
I like how that video still at the top makes it look like Robertson is standing in a lake of fire in hell.
