I feel the same way, except maybe not for safety reasons. My current car is the first one i’ve owned with the remote fuel door unlock switch. I have no idea how many times i’ve gotten out of my car, gone over to the door on the passenger side and said, “crap”, only to return to the drivers side and then press the…

for me, the ultimate wagon is the 1967 chrysler newport town and country. wagon for days...

I remember seeing a stock Jaguar XK8 convertible a while back and thinking, you know what, that car still looks good. Sure it looks a bit “of it’s time period”, but it is aging well. Personally I prefer the coupe, but i don’t think it’s design has held up as well as the simple lines of the convertible.

i have travelled the width of Pennsylvania countless times.  I grew up and my family is still in NW PA, but for 30 years I lived in Philadelphia.  I-80 is the way to go, but yes, in the summer time the pennsylvania state flower (the traffic cone) is in full bloom, just accept it.  for traffic, i guess it depends on…

I moved to New Mexico from Pennsylvania about 5 years ago, and have made the trip back and forth a few times since.  For me personally Ohio is the absolute worst.  On the way west, after you clear the most eastern part of the state it is just mile after mile after mile of flat nothingness.  On the way east, it is the…

I actually have some high hopes for this whole “retro” sort of design. Once customers and car makers stop chasing every last mile of range for EVs I can see some pretty neat stuff happening. Once you have the EV platform, put some more interesting body work on it, looking at you Hyundai Grandeur.  Take the Polestar 2…

this is how the conversation went when i first learned anything other than the saab sonett was a thing that did, in fact, exist.

and RAM, at least in north america.  they will keep Dodge around to sell muscle cars as long as fuel prices are low, when they start to rise i see that going away too....

i agree with the avalon, i read his requirements and all i could think was, well, how new of an Avalon can he afford?

How about a lightly used v70, they can be had for waaaay less then 50k, just sock away the difference for replacement parts ;)

I owned a PT Cruiser for nearly 17 years. I bought one of the first ones available at my local dealership (in purple even). I did pay a slight markup over MSRP, but not much, and pretty negligible with the combination of the absolute piece of crap i was trading in and the outstanding loan on said piece of crap.

I’m hoping that the redesigned S60 and V60 push the 60 series off the list, but really, i doubt it.  just not enough folks looking for volvo “cars”.

Not a vehicle in particular, but really, just fly to New Mexico or Arizona, search craigslist for older pickups, and drive it back to PA.  Rust issue solved (well for now anyway)

So, it’s an Audi A7?

i got an offer like this recently on my 6 to 7 year old car (second owner).  i thought it strange as it was not even an automated call, but an actual person at the local dealership.

Ok, i know the X6 is ridiculous, a fairly purposeless vehicle.  If this were an X6M that then got the “mansory” treatment i would give some kudos just for knowing what it was and rolling with it.  like a really bad B-Movie that knows it is a really bad B-Movie and just goes over the top to prove it.  However even at…

for mansory, this is about as subtle as it gets. from the photos the interior was not nearly as bad as i expected from seeing the “mansory” badge.  the exterior, different story there...

did half the design team forget to switch CAD to use metric units instead of imperial? or vice versa? (i know it’s french and probably all used metric, but wow, that is what it looks like).

the top one is a late 60's era olds toronado, my uncle had one and crammed all the kids in the back of it.  the bottom on is from again the 60s, but a 200 series Mercedes, they used variants  on it for many models.  someone who knows way more about MB’s of the time could probably give a better run down.

ok, with the advent of all of the screen based “instrument clusters” i think automakers should stop adding new and different was to view the gauges and just add emulation modes for these old digital or mechanical dashes.  or just open up the API and allow 3rd party suppliers to load “add-ons” to emulate these things…
