Chrysler created Desoto in 1928 after failing to acquire Dodge from the bankers that were in control. Later that same year, the bankers relented and sold Dodge to Chrysler. Desoto was irrelevant from the start.

Try a vintage Mustang, Torch. I can see both tattle-tales without looking over the windshield header of my '68 convertible.

Not as much weight as the size suggests. Shipping weight is around 4000 lb, depending on model and body style.

It's always more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slowly.

I'm curious.... how do you match up a chassis with a 114.7" wheelbase to a body built for a 119" wheelbase?

I disagree. Pointless to continue the debate.

Geez... is the sheriff upset because the kid's equipment appears to be bigger than his??

Tesla is no longer a “boutique” automaker. The rules should not be changed just for their benefit. I do support a direct-sales model, but for everybody. Existing contract obligations do not go on forever.

I don't think GM would be fighting if the direct sales model would apply to everyone. The purchase and service experiences have a great deal to do with how a brand is perceived. Established automakers would likely jump at the opportunity to control how retail outlets operate.

My guess is that it's for real, and it will align more closely with the Mercedes GLA than with the CLA

All I can think of is ASC/McLaren, but, at the time, it seemed like every little shop out there was modding them and slapping their name on them. Consider, also, that while Saleens are not exactly common, they were made for years. SSCs are rare, but is that enough to separate them from the others? Finally, let us not…

The Mustang in question is 27 years old with 661 miles. In 1996, when the Yenko Camaro was 27, nobody would have questioned a $38,000 price tag. There are far too many tuner Mustangs out there for this one to appreciate to Yenko levels.

Maybe it’s just me, but if I’m fortunate enough to be behind the wheel of a Maserati, I don't even think I'd notice that it has any switch gear at all, let alone where that switchgear was sourced.

Alert the authorities! Ford’s press release about electric vehicle development may not have been 100% accurate! How dare they intentionally mislead us! Don't they know we have a right to know the intimate details of every initiative they have planned??

I actually bought an auto show car: a 1995 Trans Am convertible. It was white, with a white top, white leather, and a 6-speed manual. My personalized plate? "WITE HOT". Sigh. What a douche I was.

They looked great, but they were seriously cramped inside and had interior plastics that were outclassed by a Cozy Coupe.

Looks to me like two motorcyclists on sport bikes (let’s not confuse them with ordinary bikers) approached a BMW at high speed, occupying both lanes and giving the BMW driver no clear choice as to where to be. I was taught that a group of bikers should ride in a single lane, single-file, and staggered left and right…

Memo to my fellow Mustang drivers: 400+ horsepower is a lot to handle. Find a large, empty parking lot and PRACTICE your burnouts before trying it in public. I suppose that applies to anybody who isn't familiar with the physics of a burnout, but, embarrassing as it is, we Mustang drivers seem to need the lessons more…

That was a joke? A swing and a miss.

Nah. Different car aimed at different buyers. Owning a Mustang is about more than just numbers. You either get it, or you don't.
