What you are forgetting is that the Flintstones was not a children's show when it originally aired, hence the cigarette advertising.

To add to the confusion, the automotive journalists here in the US started referring to the smaller, car based SUVs as "Cute Utes" many years ago. As already stated, "Ute" is being used as a shortened version of a "Sport Utility Vehicle".

Yes I know what a brain hemorrhage is and if you fully read what I wrote, you would see the word "almost" before "had a brain hemorrhage.

Is the London NV200 Diesel? Because IIRC, all London Taxis are Diesel.

Well this ad is a hell of a lot better than the JLo crap.

What does Chicago have to do with anything?

It's sad to see you go Tom. You kept the weekends interesting. It was nice to see posts from someone who has very similar automotive likes as myself.

They're never building that damn airport. I live right next to Peotone. The state hasn't even touched the land they bought. They have a higher chance of building the Illiana Expressway at this point.

From the A-pillar back yes. The front end looks different. Its much more rounded. The actual car has a flat front end. Somebody changed it and it looks horrible.

I feel that this is a little cliche, but I'm sorry, you can't go wrong with some form of older Jeep. Me personally would be a CJ7 Renegade.

Police package cars can have either V6 or V8 engines in the Charger.

I had to think about this one for a while and I figured it out: The Australian Ford Falcon.

1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst. I love large two-door cars.

I'd rather have a tractor I can take into town on Friday night.

Honestly I would have rather had them pull an old name than to pull some name out of a hat. I don't mind the Dart name. Plus, unless you are either a gearhead or owned one in the past, nobody really knows the history with the Dart nameplate.

I find it humorous that almost everybody who commented on this article is not giving this car a chance, shooting it down before it even gets out in the hands of the auto journalists or the general public.
