The fenders were rolled with only the finest of Louisville sluggers.

Well, it certainly wouldn't be the first topless Range Rover, so there's that. It's more of a fashion statement than anything else, but if it means profits, awesome. Anything to keep the real Chelsea Tractors and Defenders on the road.

One can only hope. I've never had the pleasure of driving the current crop of hot hatches.

We are individual throttle bodies and seam-welded titanium exhausts.

Far too many lines down the side for me, but the basic shape is nice, and I like the wheels. If it drives well, and the interior is what I expect (awesome), I could be convinced.

We are the darkness, the shadow, the sound and the fury.

DESUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I'm talking about 1500s old boy, not 3500 Dually HyperMax Turbo Diesel King Laramies.

That's the thing though, they don't. US market vans are noisy, have jarring rides and, because of the nature of a big, open space, tend to not feel very solid. Sure, you could fit an E350 with sound deadening, but it would probably add half a ton to compete with the trucks and still not be there. We just happen to…

Trucks in the US market tend to be comparable to a up-level Mercedes as far as interior goes when you spec the nicer ones. No fancy wood, but they're dead-quiet on the freeway, ride very well, and you can get nav, leather, the works. It makes more sense to those who need some capacity, yet can't afford two vehicle…

I've driven on that highway; that's actually pretty tame for Rhode Island.

He's looking into my soul.

He clearly said "Nikola Tesla" but I'll let you live in your happy little world.

Have to say the Model T, if nobody did already. It put America on wheels, which in turn put the world on wheels. If that doesn't bleed red, white and blue I don't know what does.

Give us the number, Torchy. We are your sword and your shield.

Well, it would be pretty awesome to own a Polo, and if it were of the hot-hatch variety I would have called a NP for rarity's sake, but this is supposed to be a sensible car, and it's not sensible money. I'd honestly be surprised if they cost much more than this new.

You can pick up a MKIII or MKIV TDI Golf, with a lot more power and damn close frugality, for maybe a third of this. It's cool, but it's not E46-money cool. Crack pipe.

Nobody will know, but after hanging out with the those who love Suzukis, I wouldn't rule it out 100%
