I have a 5 and a 16/17

This looks like a limo even more so than the normal JT Gladiator. I don’t think those stripes are helping the appearance. The J6 has much better proportions.

It seems BMW has decided Buick is their biggest competitor. Can’t wait to get a 2 series with a bench seat and column mounted automatic.

My Dad had an 87 4Runner that was white with the grey stripes, looked just like that one (except with more rust).  Had about 200k on it when he sold it in 2001.  

Looks like a Wagoneer 2000

The 1998 Chicago Auto Show was the best auto show I’ve ever been to. Big extravagant displays with cool concept cars. Not like today where they simply put a 2020 model on a turntable and call it good.

What do all these cars have in common?  They’re only available with an automatic.  Therefore they are all automatically off my shopping list.  Sad! 

Wow, what color is that?

Pretty sure the Rav4 has MacPherson strut up front and multi link in the rear. I expect the new Defender to have trick differentials, air suspension, some sort of disconnecting sway bar, low range, elevated breather hoses, etc. Not to mention it’ll almost certainly be a longitudinal engine, not transverse.  Oh, and…

Rav4?? Are you at all familiar with the old Defender??

I don’t get it. Land Rover already makes several reasonably capable vehicles with 4 wheel independent suspension. How is this going to be any different/better?

So many levels of idiocy.

That’s nice.  I’m surprised no one has copied this.  

Absolutely agree. However, the 991 has even better gauges. The middle right pod is a configurable LCD. Absolutely the best gauge cluster I’ve ever seen.

The 1990's Ram you posted is for sure the best looking truck. Second best looking is the Silverado from the same era. It’s all been downhill since then.

It’s like those libertarian “studies” that claim you can get 60k of welfare a year. Only if you’re a senior citizen, and a single parent, and attending a trade school, etc...

I 100% agree. It seems fine on my friends Fiesta, but is absolutely ridiculous on a Raptor.  

This one is left hand drive. Are there currently any LHD markets this is sold in?

BMW lost my sale. I had thought about buying a 440i and doing European delivery. No manual = no sale.
