Not bad as an update of the essential, charming weirdness of Saab. This wouldn't fly under any other badge, but since a Saab is supposed to be a little odd, it works.

In a final tribute to two departing brands, GM married an H1 with an Aztek.

@Z71: There are times like that in our lives. That's how I came into the one free car I ever got from a non-relative—a Volvo 240something with 193K and a $400 exhaust job just around the corner. Oh well, the sunroof was sweet.

Oh, why not?

@flyingstitch: Did I mention it was summer, and the thing was dark green, with a dark green interior?

I woodn't buy that.

'75 Plymouth Voyager van (yes, pre-minivan). No A/C; no carpet, headliner or other nonmetallic material aft of the cockpit—except for the vinyl bench seats. Northern NJ to Virginia Beach.

After many years of being NUMMI, the venture left a bad taste in GM's mouth.

This belongs on a giant mouse pad.

And when this technology is transferred to cars, all physical involvement in the act of driving will be gone at last!

No cupholders?

I just had a merging duel with a coupe about an hour ago. Might have been a little newer than this—silver, VERY straight and clean. Sweet.

These are fairly common in the snooty town near my office, but if they're not on the road, they're tucked away on multi-acre estates—it ain't DOTS country. Love this Merc, but for me, the 6 series wins. I saw an M6 last weekend, parked at a humble diner up the highway from me. Still gorgeous after all these years.

Something about the flames belching from a unadorned hole in the sheetmetal just took it to a whole new level for me.

@Tiberiuswise: Or maybe 'Nork' is more like it. I grew up within minutes of the place.

From a passenger's perspective, Logan in Boston is a little too interesting. The view from the window is:

@Lost in the age of Aerostar: Or-EYE-on. How should we be pronouncing it?

@Al Navarro: I saw a Mazda 6 wagon last night—a rare sight. Why aren't they still making that? I definitely wouldn't kick it out of the garage.

If those ping pong ball pathways could accept Hot Wheels cars, THEN you'd have something.

It's somewhat mortifying that at least two of these are from my home state (NJ).
