To me, Mercury was doing it right when they were more sculpted, more refined Fords, almost European in their appeal without losing any of their Americanness. A tight rope to walk for sure, especially as Lincoln itself moved downmarket but a niche I truly miss and desire.

Mildly? The '67 to '70 Cougars were the very best Muscle cars combining luxury, performance and handling in a sexy and practice package. I owned several, and never found a car that came close until later model 3-series. Boo Ford, on letting what could have be a class leader flounder.

My wife and I both laughed out loud at this one.

I assume, as we are on Jalopnik, we all love cars, and therefore driving. I counted down, as did my friends every day from 13 to 16. My kids, even my son who races gokarts, have no interest in cars, the culture or driving. They are used to a remotely removed experience, glued, any chance they can get to a glowing…

I fear this styling will catch on and cars will move from the current "angry" phase to cartoon-y, and that we may never see truly beautiful cars again.

Mustang and Corvette need to be here 'cause it's really hard to come up with a longer running American "win", the '57 Chevy needs to be here because This car was the 50's and the 50's belonged to America. And the Model T, because democracy!

This gen RX-7 was one of the best looking cars...ever. I really wanted one but was on the Nissan account at the time. And finding an unmolested survived has proven very difficult. I hope the next gen RX brings the sexy back.

Loved the Probe and it's Mazda MX-6 cousin although the Probe got the far cooler 5 spoke propeller blade wheels. Nice cars IMHO, I only wished they sported rear wheel drive. Might have kept my Mazda longer if they did.

Boss 302. Pay more attention.

A shame so few liveries abandoned strips. Whether along the window line, or below the strip emphasized the lovely lines of an aircraft. The trend in graphic design on planes, and indeed some company vehicles and even race cars has been to ignore the vehicle shape below for some time. The logic, I suppose is your…

OMG, so, so much want.

if the bulbs out, the bulbs out regardless of colour. And braking, or urning if the lights lit you should notice it and be prepared for a stop or turn.

White for reverse, check. Amber for turning, OK. Red for stop, fair enough but what colour for imply driving at night? Green?

Exactly. The problem is red tail lights when the car is moving, not the turn signals, if you think about it.

I honestly think the colour of turn signals is not the issue. As long as they are different in operation or colour from brakes lights, we should be good. I see a bigger problem with brake lights. If stop is Red, then why aren't the running lights amber?

the most effective taillights on a car I ever owned were the sequentials on my 69 Cougar. Never had anyone ride me oblivious to the fact I was turning. Taillights simply need to stand out more when braking, or turning. I don't care how, heck bring blue dot taillights back for braking.

I had one of these, or rather my folks did, in red. Fun to drive right up until the frame broke behind the front seats going over some railroad tracks. The next car was a Ford Escort, or should have been, since this happened on Ford Drive. It was actually a Mercury Lynx.

Especially the "can't".

No glass roof. No sun roof. For now.

Is it that I'm getting older, or RR is getting cooler? I so want one.
