You have to mention the cars when you talk about Ronin.

Penske/Donohue Camaro, “The Lightweight”

This. A buddy’s wife is looking to switch from her ‘06 Grand Cherokee and is enamored with the Wrangler. Keep in mind, she only commutes to work on the freeway and is not outdoorsy at all, so literally any other car/wagon/crossover would be a better choice. I’ve cautioned them repeatedly about the noise, ride,…

Anyone who buys a used European car out of warranty. You knew it would break, you knew it would cost 3x more to fix than the Altima you traded in, but you didn’t care because the thought of owning a “true luxury car” for $18k was too good to pass up.

The obvious answer is obvious. Delorean in Huey Lewis and News’ “The Power of Love.”

Well I’ve averaged 35 MPG in my ‘14 Fusion 1.6EB over 11k miles, calculated using Fuelly.

I always liked the Flareside/Stepside beds (except for the Tundra, that was just horrible). Yeah, you lose a bit of hauling capabilities, but the steps on the sides are handy, and the trucks, especially regular cabs, just look so good. Personally, I loved the Ranger Flaresides; may have to swap out the Styleside bed…

Except most trucks sold today compromise hauling ability in the name of styling, as seen by all the sub-6’ bed lengths that are not uncommon. If trucks were only purchased for their primary purpose, all we’d have are regular cab pickups with 8’ and 9’ beds.

It was tough finding one not already mentioned, but the ‘64 American LaFrance 900 from A View to a Kill. Only time I can think that Bond drove a fire truck.

1992 Mercury Topaz XR5. I know, there is something seriously wrong with me, but listen: 3.0L Vulcan with 130 hp and 150 lb ft mated to the MTX-IV 5-speed from the contemporary SHO; stiffened shocks; thicker anti-roll bar; 15”(!) alloys; and fog lights (!!). Plus it’s a future classic since only 464 made.

$390k for a 2005 Park Avenue seems a bit steep, but since they’re in a hurry, maybe they’ll take an even $300k.

I remember the original Taurus had the same dual sun visor setup all the way back in the mid-80s. Such a useful feature, it’s a wonder why they aren’t on all today’s cars.

True, and Ford moving medium duty truck production to Ohio was announced last year. Not exactly breaking news.

‘59 Edsel Ranger. Even Wilson Hover Conversion Systems thinks Edsels are great as hovercars.

Knowing how well the Bentayga is off-road is about as relevant as the Nürburgring lap time of a 4-cylinder Camry, or the towing capacity of a McLaren 650S.

They come stateside and enter a LeMons race. It would be like the Silverston Britcar 24-hour race they did a few years ago, but with a much, much, much more terrible car (suggestion: crap 80s American iron like a K car - is “K-it-forward” still alive?). Jezza could hit things with a hammer, and it would be a perfectly…

One of the comments I’ve always found annoying when a Brit reviews an American car is the complaint that the American car is too big for European roads, as Chris did in this review. Sure, the Mustang is big when compared to a Nissan Micra or Opel Adam, but it’s is only 3% longer and 5% wider than a 4-series.

Ugh, why?
