And I quote, "The 2014 Chevrolet SS — which will be built upon the platform used for Australia's Holden VF Commodore as well as the Chevrolet Camaro — will be available at North American dealerships by the end of 2013."

I believe the specific classification GM uses for the CTS-V is "luxury sports sedan." Still, it's not worded very well in the article.

Based on some of the comments, I think a lot of people skipped the opening paragraphs. Jalopnik has done articles about long-standing models in the past, though. Stuff like the Accord, Beetle/Type 1, Suburban, Corolla and other nameplates that have evolved with the times rather than be replaced by all-new models. It…

"Sold as new" and "still in production" don't mean the same thing. "Still in production" means they're currently building new trucks. "Sold as new" just means there are a bunch of previously unsold trucks and/or parts lying around for them to be sold as if they were new.

In all fairness, you never said it shouldn't be added to the list, either. Nor did you qualify it as an honorable mention. But since your suggestion fits exactly none of the article's criteria (currently in production on a platform at least 25 years old), I'd say the D21 isn't even "Worth Metioned," as you put it.

And I quote, "To qualify in this exclusive geezer group, the car must be built on a platform at least 25 years old. Engines can change, there can be facelifts, new materials, new names, whatever, but the fundamental platform must still remain the same."

Read the beginning of the article, I didn't make up the rules. It's hard to not agree with me when the author spells it out in the second paragraph of his own article.

The list is only for cars that have been built on the same platform for at least 25 years. I don't think anyone is still building new 1st or 2nd generation Accords.

1986 to 2008 is only 22 years, three short of the 25-year minimum. It's also no longer in production, and this list is only for cars currently being produced. Even if it's still being sold as new somewhere, none have been built in four years.

Okay, who's gonna join me in making a Kickstarter account to build a street-legal Zamboni?

The only qualification to make the lost was that the fundamental platform has to have been in production for at least the last 25 years. Technology, names, styling, etc. can change, but the platform must remain unaltered. The basic platform of the G-wagen hasn't changed since its introduction in 1979, therefore it…

I get the impression you don't know what paranoia is. It's a fear (often with no grounding in reality) that there are unseen forces amassing against you. "Koji" operates under an assumed name, refuses to divulge and real information about who he is, and talks about his fear of potential stalkers. That's the paranoia…

Now that I've researched it, I was way, way off on my estimate of "a few hundred." It's probably more like a couple dozen. Jalopnik (linked below) and a few other sources reported last year that a dealership in Maryland had found a loophole in their contracts due to an oversight by GM that allowed them to sell a…

The new Caprice can already be found on the used market, and when it was initially introduced there was a (now closed) loophole in the dealer contracts that allowed them to sell Caprices to civilians. So there's at least a few hundred Caprices currently in the hands of civilians. Not to mention it could theoretically…

Yeah, I get the impression the engine choice wasn't particularly well thought-out (better thought out than the styling choice, but that's just my opinion). The J32 is a good engine, I don't think anyone would deny that. But like you said, there are several other engines (mostly Hondas) that would've met his criteria…

If you isolate that one comment from the rest of the interview, I could see you interpreting it that way. But it doesn't seem to me like he contacted Jalopnik looking for people to understand what he's doing (besides, it seems like he's already got plenty of that on the NASIOC forums). He contacted Jalopnik in the…

You got that exactly right, if by "I'm basically building a complete car from scratch," you mean "I'm putting a custom body that someone else designed and doing an engine swap on an MR2." So he's basically building a kit car, only difference being he's crafting the body panels himself.

It sounds like his focus is more on fit and finish than performance. But considering how unlikely it is that he'll be able to get this registered for regular street use, tracks are probably the only place it'll ever turn a tire.

It's not a matter of ability or practice, it's a matter of eliminating basically everything but necessity and THE PROJECT from your life. He said it himself, all he does is work, eat and sleep. No time for friends, no going out, no fun, just single-minded obsession. That's what this is. Not passion, obsession. And his…

He went to a Subaru forum looking for someone to design a "modern Toyota."
