I confounded a dealer once by telling him I did not care when he asked me what color I wanted.

I dunno, looks like I would spend more on wiper replacements than most wagons... 

Happens in all manufacturing, not just auto. Tear down not only provides information on how product is built but also allows for cost analysis of the finished product (which is potentially more valuable data).

Even if you hate crossovers, this should be a segment Mitsubishi dominates. Way back they made great SUVs and great cars as well as one of the two best budget rally cars.

Just missing one thing...

I’m shocked!

Not really true anymore, in Hammond’s, Clarkson’s and May’s day (and earlier) it may have been true but the UK has since extended state provided healthcare to include dental. I believe that access to dental care in the UK is superior to most countries these days.

I wish we got Skoda’s here in the USA. I so would have bought a last generation Yeti over any VW offering. Drove one on holiday in Ireland and loved it.

How about a Berlinetta?

I’ve been seeing more and more Journey’s around and kind of like the looks. Also it appears narrower than a lot of SUVs/crossovers which appeals to me. However I am worry of ever again buying another FCA product.

I’ve always loved the looks of these.

I have news for you, the airlines and TSA have already ruined air travel.

VW/Porsche 914 had the same set up.

Glad to hear I’m not the only person with a fondness for Astro vans...

That is one handsome sedan!

Maybe a bit off topic but given Ford’s recent commitments to Hybrids....

The poor man’s Chevy HHR....

I do miss the news, as mentioned before here. Also, as with the American Top Gear I feel the presenters do not have the automotive journalism background which served the Three Stooges so well. That and May’s (ok, the team’s) charisma.
One thing that really stands out like a sore thumb for me is that on the challenges…

I’ve been considering a Triumph TR6 for quite awhile now.
