As others have said it's all about the vans and dropsides over here. Ford Transit, Iveco Daily and Mercedes Sprinter are all very common as both panel vans and dropside trucks, cab over dropsides like the Nissan Cabstar are fairly popular, too. We do get Ford Rangers (and comparable vehicles from the Japanese

That American truck (GMC?) at the start is a really rare sight over here.

Cool

The CTS is the cooler car, but I see this as its true successor.

Starving Jeep is spot on

It had a boxer engine? All my opinions on the subject have changed . . . it is beautiful.

I always liked the 75, but what has been seen cannot be unseen.

Oh god, all that graphics and stuff is horrible. The bonnet, the grill, everything, just looks like cheap aftermarket crap. I can't believe it's stock.

Dammit. I was looking through hoping nobody had said that yet.

In North America:

"Now you can own this insanely loud Audi S8 . . . . . . the current bid on this car is $27,000"

It's my understanding that the old tagline "Obsessed with the cult of cars" was supposed to mean that it was a blog chiefly about cars, not exclusively about cars but aimed at people who are interested in cars. Something like that, anyway. Personally, as someone who has also been reading Jalopnik for years, some of

A fairly high profile conspiracy theorist on YouTube said I was a "CIA Disinformation Agent". I wish it was true, I bet they earn way more than me.

As a Brit it horrifies me how successful the Mail had become online, I see it featured on US sites more often than any other UK paper. Here's the thing, see, IT'S A NAZI PAPER! Sure, they did an about turn when they realised that Hitler didn't stand a chance of conquering the British Isles, but if you ask me, once a

As much as I'd love to think different I fear you're right on all counts. What you're basically saying is that it will be a Wrangler competitor as a lifestyle vehicle but without the off road creds (although I'm sure you're right that whatever it is the jounos will wax lyrical about its off road abilities). The only

So where do you reckon they're going then? Luxury, I'm sure, belongs to Range Rover, family haulers are gonna wear the Discovery badge and they've got little car-ish things covered by the Freelander and Evoque. In my mind it either has to be utility or a super awesome off roader, I can't really think of a third option.

I'm really curious about where they're gonna go with this. The two most obviously comparable vehicles in my mind are the G-Class and the 70 Series Land Cruiser, although the Toyota is only available in a limited number of countries and, from what I see, the Merc is mainly marketed to the public as an AMG/Brabus

I've got an idea. So, we can't post pictures in the comments at the moment but we can post YouTube videos, right? I assume this is because videos that come from YouTube are "safe", so to speak, it is assumed that because they are on YouTube that they meet YouTube's standards therefore also meet Gawkers standards, or

Straight six. C'mon, this is Jalopnik, ffs.

I actually like the way these high beltlines look, I even like the look of the Chrysler 300 which is an unpopular opinion, I believe. As soon as I'm inside the car I couldn't agree with you more, though, the more glass the better.
