Yeah, I know I’m getting old, because my first reaction is “what the fuck would you possibly do with that thing?”

It’s bizarre that we can’t buy the Volkswagen California in California. They would sell tons of them.

This was a fun read - you’re got a way with words!

Take a look at what SportsMobile builds on the 3500 Savannah chassis. It’s pretty much what you describe, and better put together than most homes.

I’ve car-camped in that generation of Dodge Caravan and the current Pacifica. The new Pacifica is leaps and bounds better than the model it replaced. It’s much lighter on its feet, quieter, higher performance in every direction, and gets *much* better gas mileage. The seats in the current model were much better than…

So, what are all the differences between this variation and the Evora Sport 410? Which would you want, and which do you think we should want?

Insofar as Japanese luxury = doilies, it’s too luxurious for America.

Erm, people will want to have sex in the back of these. A 3-across bench is vastly superior to something with a chunky center console in the way.

Sadly, the JD Powers and CR stats seem to bear this out. The newer Volvos are not reliable / durable cars. There’s a lot to go wrong in a car that has a supercharger, a turbocharger, *and* a hybrid system.

What color is your Charger? I’ve noticed that the ones in Skittles colors seem to have really smooth, even paint. The ones that are from the regular grey/silver/white color chart are more orange peel-y.

They’ll develop a whole bespoke engine for a car with production volume of 600/year, but they won’t develop a manual-transmission Supra. The fuck?

^^^ This. This is why air-cooled 911s cost so damn much, and 996s and Boxsters...don’t.

I think your answer is exactly the right one. These things were crazy comfortable and quiet when they were new, and they even handled pretty well. Just make it as new-feeling as possible.

There is a 24 Hours of Lemons team that dropped the LS400 motor and transmission in a Volvo, then built their own transmission control computer and flappy-paddle setup so they could paddle shift it. It is, I have to admit, damn fast.

Could you take the 4WD system from an EcoSport and put it into the Fiesta on which the EcoSport is based? I’d take a 4WD Fiesta ST, even if the engine were still in the front.

And also, more sparkly metallic.

Have you *seen* Ferrari-licensed shoes? They are as tacky as anything I can imagine.

Wait, what the hell even happened there?

According to Ferrari, their customer demographics are >80% new money:

Bullshit. Very few Ferrari owners fit this description. Generally the Ferrari demographic are people who built and own their own businesses, and I guarantee we do not hate on other people who are building a business and market their products aggressively. (Not particularly old, either: Average age of a first-time…
