Nothing new to add, just stating my piece. I was 12 when the second movie came out and I saw that in theaters after renting the first one probably a dozen times. The franchise evolved as I grew up and these movies will always hold a special place in my heart.

Oh man, where to start?

Yeah, I watched the first episode on demand for free after it aired and had to shut it off. He doesn’t actually seem to know much about the cars. The digs at Old Top Gear were obnoxious and WAY overdone. The yelling was just so, so annoying. He’s just the loud, over-the-top part of Clarkson, without any car knowledge,…

LS swap, DD the crap out of it. Done. NP.

I was picturing Nikola Motor Company as being fronted by Elon Musk’s uncle:

It was a Prius. In the left lane. Makes me rage, too.

Taurus- Latin for “bull”, also, a constellation of the zodiac.

I wonder if visibility was also a concern, beyond the spare tire mount. That’s why Chevy got rid of split doors- because consumers preferred the liftgate with a solid windshield.

It’s listed on their website for $44,988. By my approximation, using my sales tax rate of 6.25%, a $699 payment on that car with $500 down requires 2.1% APR over 72 months. You’re not going to get 2.1%/72 mos on a 2005, but hey, it got us all talking about it!

Agreed. I was thinking I might Pop in to my local Fiat Lounge, but now, not so much.

MY GOODNESS LISTEN TO THE BOOST!!!! MUAHAHAHA!!!

A neighbor of mine when I was growing up had one of these in his driveway, parked next to a Pontiac Parisienne. I had never heard of either until I saw them parked in his driveway. Looking back I have to wonder what kind of person owns two of the most obscure Pontiacs.

I see this often as a car salesman. My friends and family know me as a car geek and as someone who has three years in the automotive retail industry, yet most of them just waltz into dealerships and buy without even a casual “hey, what do you think of this?” I’m not asking to be bombarded by car loan/car buying…

The Ford dealer where I work currently has three sub-$30,000 2016 F-150s. Sure, they’re regular cab XL 4x2 short bed NA V6 trucks, but they do exist.

Picture this- if the cops had shot him, it would turn out that he was an unarmed black man and there would be a huge uproar about it.

The car was travelling at 6 MPH when the pedal was pressed 100%? Hmm... Those front seats look pretty conducive to roadhead, if you ask me.

So what you’re saying is the car was never going to be called Lettuce? Or any word that means “lettuce” in any other language? It simply sounds like a word that means “lettuce” in another language?

“A $20,000 copy is a nightmare competitor for a company like JLR. Not only will the cheap version undoubtedly steal market share, but it will poison the prestige of the original brand image.”

So much this. Came here to post the Cavalier/Sunfire. They are the cockroach of the auto industry. I can’t tell you how many of these I see on the road with 200k+ miles, rusted to oblivion and STILL RUNNING. Look, I’m all for longevity in a vehicle. But to willingly subject oneself to such a hateful, awful example of…

The Ford Mighty Tonka F-350 from 2002. I was 11 years old when I saw this at the NAIAS (my Dad, brother and me went every year) and I was in love.
