Actually, I can’t agree with you. People like me that love the old boxy Discovery are increasingly few, while those that eat up the more car-like Evoque are screaming for crossovers big enough for their brats to be far enough away not to be heard. This will be the new trophy “SUV” to cart offspring to impressive…

Why a Malibu? Why not a Fusion? Half the rip-off work is already done.

I prefer to think of this as “Jeopardy! NFL category goes wonderfully right”. I am delighted to say that I would have had even less to say about those.

So while I refuse to play the game of “who’s buying Alfa now?”, I will respond to this statement:

I see your Range Rover, and raise one first generation Jeep Wagoneer.

Context helps. It’s a little less bizarro to think of the A body fastback (e.g. original Barracuda) as a Panda, since it’s so very Valiant-with-a-big-glass-ass, than the fire-breathing E-body it evolved into.

Well, great, I have now seen a terrifying glimpse of my own future. Thanks Jalopnik.

I’m pretty confused by the “Hydraulic Active Roll Control (H-ARC)“ being described as a “first on a Discovery”. Does this not equate to the Disco 2's Active Cornering Enhancement? ACE requires fluid, so there’s some hydraulic action going on, and its purpose was to mitigate roll, so has Land Rover just adopted…

Well, I guess it’s good to know what will be loafing along in the fast lane at 69 mph, clogging up the I-15 N to Vegas.

In other breaking news: sky blue, tree pretty. Film at 11.

um, yes. Thus my post. Maybe I should have added:

The maid has to get there somehow.

I almost bought an XE last year. I wasn’t thrilled with the 2.0 turbo on paper, but the drive was very, very nice. And the car really appealed to me, in a way that no BMW or Audi has since I was in college (BTW, that’s a very long time ago indeed). But what stopped me was that I noticed the engine’s origin on the…

re: Lincoln Continental. um, yes. Yes to every point, especially the door handles bit. It’s been true for every single generation from Mk III on (only giving Mk II a pass because of the lovely lines). You only buy a post-Engel Continental because you want people to know you spent a lot more money than necessary for…

This may or may not qualify, but back in the days when I couldn’t afford to have anyone but me fix my vehicles, I was packing my 86 Trooper II to drive from San Diego to my parents in Oklahoma for Christmas.

Because we don’t eat cows that leather is made from? Not even the tastiest bits?If so, why not?

If this will cut down on the number of early-20s douchebags in STs trying to race me from every. single. stoplight in town, so be it. Come on guys, I’m in a Fiat 850 Spider. It had 52 horses from the factory, and that was nearly 50 year ago. I’m not racing you, fer crissakes, I’m trying to get home.
