The car that SHOULD have saved Studebaker. But they didn't get production where it should be, and didn't reinvest the profits it gave them in the early 60s. The Lark was a really smart play, and in my humble opinion is still the best looking American compact until about 1964.

No BS, my father sold Plymouths during this time, and these little beasts were a ton of fun. We had a 1980 Fire Arrow...2.6L engine, stick shift, took off with gusto! And the graphics...very 70s-tastic!

I concur that I have always lamented that "RCR" simply isn't very funny, or informative. It's a missed opportunity.

I agree I am obsessed with Ronin...especially the great DeNiro lines:

Sorry...IMHO, this (and the Veyron for that matter) is just WAY too ugly for my $1,000,000+++. You drive from the inside, but you have to park it and look at it eventually!

and yet they haven't built one of those purpose-built mail trucks in over 20 years, and yet tons are still in service. Hmmmm.....

People can post mocking comments, but these Nissan cabs are MUCH nicer than the scores of Crown Vics still roaming the NYC streets, and they beat out the Camry and Escape hybrids too in my book. They are ugly, but heck, Checkers were fairly ugly, and now they are classics!

I voted Brad...and even after seeing Eagleman, I'd vote for Brad again. "Brad" makes me physically violent.

It's the "Brad" ad. No sane person can disagree with that.

Assuming the market for autonomous transport would not including transporting people is, frankly, kind of dim.

Top Gear, for me, jumped the shark some time ago. Totally scripted and rarely surprising in the past few years...rest in peace

I gotta say, I really like “Chasing Classic Cars.” It’s as realistic as it can be (yes, the guy deals with million dollar Ferraris sometimes...but hey, someone has to!), and I’ve never seen an episode that seemed contrived. Wayne isn’t necessarily a huge “personality”, but I am ok with that.

I would agree I have had awful email exchanges with dealers, but I have bought our last two cars from a large Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealer in NJ that has provided good online quotes and transparency. In both cases I was driving past 3 other dealers to deal with them, and in the second purchase (a special order car), I…

I am sure this research is true, but I really appreciated the power of Dodge's online configurator and good dealer search tools when we made a recent car purchase. In the end, I was easily able to identify a not-very-common configuration and get in touch with dealers who had that car.

Yeah...you really get it. Have fun at your knitting club.

That Aston "Scion" was good pick, but they don't make those anymore. I'm going rogue and saying Nissan GTR...some will disagree...but may have worked well and been more profitable as an Infinity.

You beat me to this comment. I agree if we are talking useless options, Porsches leather-covered everything options have to be high up there on the list.

Incorrect. Good seat warmers are amazing. They let you get comfortable in a cold car in 5 seconds. Very handy in the Northern US.

I am seeing tons of 200s on the road here in NJ. Which is not something I could have said about the previous 200/Sebring.
