Citroen DS. Sex on wheels, novel engineering, cool as fuck, and in the States they are unusual as fuck.

Second generation F-Series. One of the best looking trucks of all time.

Commonly shit on for being a boomer special, the Tri-5 Chevy’s are fantastic (150, 210, Bel Air).  I personally love the ‘55 150 the most.  Just gorgeous.

While it is overpriced, it’s no where near a $3,500 car.  You clearly don’t know the Allroad market.

Big deep breaths, pal. I’ve been working around and driving Porsches of all stripes for a long time and while I’d agree that the cars are exceptional as a base platform, nothing is perfect and in the scope of things all the changes I’ve made have been quite small and mostly tailored to my driving style and use case.

It might be fantastic, it might not be, and I am unwilling to find out by rounding off a fitting that requires disassembling half the car to replace. You do you.

I’m also a C10 owner (‘65 Suburban).

Not only did they build them forever (about 40 years)

To suggest they built them for 40 years, while implying it was a single platform is a bit silly. It was 31 years across three generations. If you really want to get nitty gritty, you might call it 3.5 generations, due to the massive overhaul from ‘62 to ‘63 (major frame and suspension changes).

GMT400's holding up well too.

Chill bro. Porsche engineers also spent millions of hours trying to make the rear engined 911 as good as it is, when they could just put the engine in the middle and call it a day. Which is exactly what they did for their RSR racecar. So even Porsche knows they’ve been polishing rear engined turds for decades.

Sheesh, I saw the lede image and thought it was the 2-series Sedan. Same basic shape, upsized and with fewer linear surfaces:

The proportions look really bad. The base of the windshield and rear window seem really high for a luxury sedan. The roof seems really narrow. The amount of metal above the top of the wheels is.... incredible. It’s not hideous, but it almost seems like someone tried to build a BMW on top of some FWD CUV platform, the…

Jeez it looks so frumpy and generic. It looks tall, narrow, and bubbly rather than long, wide, low, and sleek. From the front, it looks straight up like a CUV.

No they didn’t.

Modern BMW design language is the best thing that has ever happened (and continues happening) to competing automakers.

I hereby propose the BMW Scale™ - kinda like if you’ve heard someone say “I’m a Cleveland 10 but a Los Angeles 5".

Sure, let’s fix this by handing it over to a series that’s been completely ruined by gimmicks...

How to fix Monaco (and F1 racing in general) :

wow, I’m not sure you and I could disagree more...    different strokes for different folks.
