That was actually a S24, like this later example built by Unipower (yes, same Unipower of Unipower GT fame).

Riding in the driver’s cab was pretty cool. Only had the chance to do it once - just asked nicely, had to wait a little longer for a train, but then literally sat in the cab with engineer and brakeman (or whatever Disney titled them). Gave a great vantage point of the park below, and it was also interesting to watch…
Chuck Jordan’s crowning achievement.
(don’t @ me)
Doesn’t do much for me.
Which, I have to admit, is pretty much exactly what I was expecting from this.
First, youth is not an excuse for doing research and due diligence prior to authoring an article.
Second, author is not much younger than - if not the same age - I am.
“Plymouth advertised it as a halo car.”
A halo car is merely one that (a. stands above the remainder of the lineup and (b. and helps increase both brand awareness and foot traffic into showrooms.
Prowler absolutely delivered on both aspects.
You’re bang-on in these instances.
There’s plenty to criticize ‘90s Chrysler for, but author seemed to go out of his way to ignore context of both the company and the development of this car - neither of which I typically stan for.
name checks out
...this may not be the web site for you? If you want conventional automotive news and regurgitated supercar press releases, there are another 1,256,328 web sites (and counting!) that’ll provide you exactly that...
I only come here explicity for Jason and David’s content.
“They know exactly what works and what don’t work out in the dessert.”
....so, fudge topping and sprinkles, but hold the maraschino cherry?
“it needs some flavor to stand out”
If the wing is the only thing that adds flavor to the CTR in your eyes, might I suggest booking a visit with your optometrist?
There’s plenty else on the car already that aestethically zests up the CTR over a standard Civic hatch; a wing shaped like a torii gate viewed through a…
I was wondering what happened to the coils...all the US-market reviewers noted both systems but everything I see on Audi’s US site says air only. I must have missed where journos said as much, or when Audi decided to ditch the coil-sprung setup.
First time I was in Geneva to attend the motor show press days, I saw someone hauling ass on the highway underneath the convention center in a ‘73 Country Squire.
Given how much I’d spent that morning to refuel a Mazda2, I can only assume said individual was incredibly wealthy.
Someone (presumably a journalist) had one of these in town recently in Miami Blue, and it absolutely seared the retinas. I can only imagine how much more “vibrant” Python Green is...
Could be, but pretty easy to stumble across it if you drive through city boundaries on one of its largest thoroughfares. That this reckoning hadn’t occurred any sooner is nothing shy of a miracle.
STALWART?! *and* a road engine?
Boy am I ever jealous.
Really?
Ford itself would beg to differ.
“I assume there’s a solution for the pedals, too?”
They could do what Mercedes-Benz did on the Unimog’s VarioPilot system and just have the pedal box, steering column section, steering wheel, and gauge cluster just slide as one integral unit.
Avalanche and its ilk were NOT unibody, wherein the frame and body were one, as you suggest. Used the same BoF structure as any other FS GM SUV in the line at the time. Envoy XUV was also BoF, like any other GMT355 SUV.
You *do* need the cab and bed to be integrated into a singular structure, though. The resulting stru…
