Happy to see the bent chrome brow disappear from the grill. Cleaner if more generic. A little grumpy looking.   Perhaps mad about the fuel mileage too.

Journalism in need of an editor. Or at least grammarly, if we all chip in a few cents.

Well, given the short ownership tenure, I have a hard time putting much of a premium on it as the “only DB5 ever (barely) owned by Sean Connery”. Was he alive to see the completed refresh? Did he ever drive it? The fact that there are no pictures of him with the car suggests not.

Saw a first gen SW2 on used car lot today. It really was a handsome little wagon. Always loved that up swept character beltline.

Raised roof wagons especially. All-trac!

OK, that looks way cooler than my Pacifica. Definitely need a SRT Pacifica. Twin Turbo that Pentastar + AWD.

I’d be happy to pull out of the garage, drive to Sonic or appropriate regional variation for road trip food, pull back in driveway to set up grill, lawnchairs, etc. for some better-than-back-yard-camping!

Easily worth a $100k based on a 25% “charming” surcharge.

Agree that corporately owned dealerships are much more likely to respond to unflattering press and social media. I think they may also be much more interested in automating the buying process. Or I’d think they would. Potentially.

#1 Seems easy enough.  And low cost.

Job one: Kill slide shows.

The real tell will be what got cross shopped. Did any of these sales come at the expense of F-series or Ranger? Or from Escape, Edge or Explorer? Or did it come from CR-Vs, RAV4s or even Camrys and Accords?

Jason and David leaving.

And it’s quieter to boot.  But this is an interference engine.  So I’d enjoy the racket that comes with peace of mind.

Did it come with the standard rebuilt title?

Or someone with a heavy left foot instead of the preferred heavy right foot.

I’m not sure if the lesser evil principle exactly applies here ... but I’ definitely prefer to save the Valiant at the cost of one HHR.

This way it’s level when you park with driver side wheels up on an island in the mall parking lot.

If you are in Texas, King Ranch is a thing. It’s bigger than Rhode Island.

I’ve previously offered that I think it would look better if they didn’t carry the light bars all the way to the door shut line.  Saying it again.
