We Americanos also get the hatchback Versa Note.

That car was also the historic last flathead V8 powered Ford, but you knew that already.

They will be selling tickets to 45 minute or so flights for really big bucks. Those things don't hold many passengers, there are only a few of the good seats, and they are rather expensive to run. Heck, I'd pay a premium to fly somewhere on a passenger Constellation or (gasp) a Stratocruiser instead of a modern…

Thanks for posting that. What the US did industrially in a few short years in WWII is absolutely awesome. A lot of mechanization and industrial processes developed mainly in the auto industry, but no computers, everything manually controlled, and just slide rules and everything on paper. Just amazing.

A little hard to tell, but that does look like they stuck the Buick emblem in the round Opel/Vauxhall emblem spot. But they aren't going to stick the waterfall grille in the Opel/Vauxhall opening, like on the other ones? I'm in no way criticizing the turning of Buick into Opel NA. Why not? It makes sense. The current…

To me this is an example of what Lincoln historically used to do: streamlined, simple, sometimes a little spooky. The only car that reminds me of this is the new Aston Lagonda.

No.

No, not enough grooves.

Lincoln's traditional forte was streamlined, simple, and often a little spooky. No one is doing that now including Lincoln, except maybe the 2016 Aston Martin Rapide.

I dunno. If I heard "Q3" I would think of Infiniti. But Lincoln's model designations suck. They should bite the bullet and do something like what Cadillac is doing.

I thought that was a really really bad typo in the headline. Oh, it's not. Anyway, the original Chevrolet six cylinder engine made from 1929 to 1936 was called the Stovebolt, because a bunch of bolts on it had slotted heads, like apparently those on a stove. Still, Bolt is a stupid name unless you are a bus company.

Well, driver's licenses are a state thing, so they differ about motorcycles and age etc. But generally, yes, it's true.

Really? What things?

Since when has passive (and not so passive) hatred and degradation of women not been a characteristic of all (or most) Muslim countries?

It has more to do with frontal area and aerodynamics than weight, which is more relevant in terms of acceleration.

That only has to do with acceleration. Modern (past 20 or 30 years) automatics have a torque converter lockout that starts at around 35 or40 mph, and from that point the torque converter isn't converting anything.

In American car advertising VW broke the mold back then. They had a product that was not lower, longer, or more powerful and also a low budget, and Doyle Dane Bernbach came up with memorable one or two photo black and white ads with a sense of irreverence and humor. Ads in the '30s are very pragmatic: this car does…

Thanks. That was great.

Probably everyone already knows, but it was facelifted to make it look more normal. And there was an original Multipla, which was also pretty cool except for the use of your legs as the crumple zone.

Yes. Just like Yag-you-ah.
