No, not at all. But it might remind Americans it is not the only country in the world.

I know. Which is why I might have sounded a little like a school teacher.

it seems ridiculous that a party that won 11.5 percent of the vote could prevent a policy wanted by 60 percent of people.

And here it is in front of our house, around 1963

Top trivia: you could have the Vedette with the Cotal semi automatic gearbox.

PSA still use the factory in Poissy and I think it's what Simca really wanted when they bought out Ford France.

My parents bought one of these in 1960, in sort of an off-white cream color, at a Chrysler dealership in Bel Air, Maryland. I don’t know whether or not it was an ‘official’ Chrlysler import, but I only ever saw one other one on the road. For some reason my parents chose this over a Plymouth Valiant. The Simca said…

*$21,000

Can we talk about how nice those steelies look?!

If this was Porsche, it would cost $2100 more for the privilege removing equipment.        

Google: Did you mean FURA?

Diesel? Manual? Camper? Bring it Stellantis! (or whomever you are this week). It will sell like condoms at the high school prom. 

Good on Marcello Gandini. Sounds pretty shitty for Audi to make a new Countach and not have the guts to tell him they were making a new limited production model.

Funny thing about the Proace. It's nothing to do with Toyota apart from the name. It is instead a PSA model with a touch of badge engineering.

Yep. I also love the letter, clearly written in Italian and then (sort of) translated into English. I used to work in the wine industry and we would always be presented with similar missives from the winemakers.

I gotta agree with him.

This was one of the best ‘Ask the Commentariat’ lists I’ve seen recently. Each one of these vehicles is a solid choice. Interestingly, I’ve owned 5 of them at one time or another. Which I suppose proves I am a utilitarian, and have little hope to be a style leader in things automotive. C’est la vie...

If I was still in Grand Central every day, I’d absolutely loathe this idea. With the addition of One Vanderbilt to the area, shutting down 5th would turn 42nd into the most shit-holiest of shit cross-town streets (even more than it already is).

I would think before F1 considers a third race in the U.S. they might want to establish the second one first.

Reserved ‘Nissan Versa or similar’ from Enterprise at BWI. Agent said they were out of that class, but he had a Charger. I said, “Same money.” “Yup”. “V6?” “Yup.” “Hmmm, that’s nice, but a Charger needs some get up. Got a V8 Charger?” “Yup”. “Same money?” “Yup.” Rock on!
