My sister and I survived the back seat of a mid-80s Camry. We survived.

Still waiting for Buick to throw their hat in the ring with an Enclave-based hyper crossover, featuring the world’s fastest self-closing rear hatch, quickest heating seats, and most cupholders per passenger ever before seen in a vehicle.

You kidding me? Who wouldn’t put one on the parcel shelf behind the seats of their Lamborghini looking out the rear window at other cars?

Lamborghini also said it is now expanding its line of Lamborghini-branded lifestyle accessories to include plushies to better cater to female customers.

Wait for the 960, which is delayed due to dieselgate. Mission E will continue on ahead, since that will earn money to fund the 960, which was really just a homologation of the planned (uncompetitive) 911 RSR replacement.

But what about leather-wrapped air vent slats in your choice of color?!

Porsche very rarely shows a concept that it doesn’t build.

Yep. My issue with doing this to the SL with the S-Class Cabrio and AMG GT Cabrio is they are fucking with what is probably their longest (65 years?) nameplate, which historically had done the best of both worlds pretty good.

Next month’s announcement, secret skunkworks’d LFA replacement.

With the S-Class Cabriolet already out, and the AMG GT Cabriolet surely coming in the next calendar year... what’s up with that? You have two models now each latching onto part of the SL’s personality. Are there too many convertibles in the $90-130K price range from Mercedes-Benz? Is the niches within niches thing

Wait, you can’t get attractive supermodels of your preferred gender to replace the seats, for authentic massage functionality?

I drove my “short loop”. Sawyer Highway -> Presidential Grand Tour -> Kancamagus Highway. Nothing like ears popping at speed. Also: moose

Harry reminds me of a neighbor growing up. Except my neighbor was into model trains, and had this AMAZING setup. My father was also into model trains (and we had a dinky 16 square foot setup), so sometimes we’d all hang out in the basement dorking out over trains, and his wife would bring down soup and sandwiches for

The main reason automakers want to push it is for a few reasons.

These are people who care about cars but prioritize low TCO and high reliability (through predictable, progressive failure modes).

Seriously. If it was an Allroad, headline would’ve started with, “Father of the year candidate...”

Meth.

Fixed that for you.

And with the average new car transaction price around $34,000, how many people can you really expect to pay cash?

Looks are subjective and all that, but that is a tremendously fussy front end.
