Suburban FTW. I had a Yukon of that vintage. The cheapo plastic interior was an embarrassment, but the drive train was legit and it was comfy as hell.

Danke! ♥ I sort of love the baffled responses. You’d think by now everyone on Jalopnik would know me, but as it turns out there are a lot more readers than I think there are!

Just two?

They sell the Pajero Sport over here in New Zealand

All good. :)

There’s a Stranger Things ad here somewhere.

Love it. Holler for G-troit. Sweet tag line they came up with. That screen was nuts.

I like the call, but I raise

pretty sure that’s a lambo, dude!

GM already did it.

I’m not sure what part of the country you live in, but this attitude is extremely prevalent here in the midwest. I’ve been on the receiving end of many snarky remarks about my s2000 and 300zx, both of which are bone stock. What I’ve gathered is this part of the country is firmly in the ‘Merica camp - anything else is…

When I was 16, my parents very graciously gave me their 12 year old Volvo 245. It was light blue with a dark blue interior with vinyl seats and a banging stereo (my dad is an audiophile). It had the Virgo wheels with really nice Michelin tires. This was the car I grew up in, so I was naturally in love with it.

Increased use of high-strength steel in North America Ranger frame. Also has to handle the 2.3-liter EcoBoost and 10-speed transmission. Basically shares the same hardpoints as T6 Global Ranger, and that’s about it.

Tons of changes for North America customers: Unique frame, unique styling including frame-mounted front and rear steel bumpers, unique 2.3-liter EcoBoost and 10-speed, revamped interior, tons of driver assist features including BLIS with trailer tow, Terrain Management system like F-150 Raptor and Trail Control - and…

My Miata is giving me the stink eye and my Grand Marquis is winking coyishly; meanwhile my Midget raises it’s hand asking for attention.

And when you’re done with all of that... it’s still a Crown Vic.

Everything I’ve heard about the new Bronco suggests it’s going to be a lot more like a new iteration of the pre-Taurus Explorer that it is a proper Bronco. I’m fully expecting to just see a Ford equivalent to a TrailBlazer, which I couldn’t give two shits about.
