It’s bigger than the Renegade. By how much / how much more room that gives you I don’t know.

Don’t forget assaulting their children.

Glorious revenge!

Fuck me, but there’s some messed up people in this thread who have a very poor understanding of what revenge is.

He was getting revenge on him because of the car he drove? That’s just shitty.

Dude, you are a terrible human being.

AMAZING

So, it’s a parcel shelf? That’s at least optional on vehicles with a hatchback, and standard equipment on many?

I think this could be more of an Audi management of Lamborghini kind of thing. Volvo can continue to make hot versions of their cars under the Polestar badge, but they can also assist Lotus in expanding their range and improving quality. They can still make the stripped out, super focused cars they’re famous for, but…

Yeah, but sports car manufacturers have been doing that for decades. Fun fact, Seat had Porsche help with the development of the first-gen Ibiza, and the engines were stamped with SYSTEM PORSCHE as a result.

Blech. I’ve never understood the appeal of the Eleanor redux. Quite apart from the fact your slapping a bodykit on a goddamn classic, its everything wrong with bodykits of the era: fake vents, exaggerated and gaudy details. I’d take the original, every day of the week.

I saw one of these in the wilds of suburban Detroit a couple of weekends ago. It looks sublime. I’m guessing some lucky sod working at Ford got to take it home for the weekend.

Well, to be fair, these were hobbies he had before the war. When he came home, he married my Gran (whom he met while in Scotland training before deployment), and settled down. We know he was in the Royal Signals, who were often deployed along with SF for comms, and he served in campaigns SF were deployed. My Dad is…

That’s awesome. Yeah I found out at Christmas that my grandfather, in his youth, liked to race dirt bikes (or whatever the equivalent was back then) and go potholing (spelunking). And he may have been special forces during the WW2? I suspect the war may been the end of his adventuring days regardless - he never liked…

Here’s a car ordered that no one in their right mind will buy - all so someone at the dealership can have it for themselves at inventory cost in six months time.

Oh yeah, I’ve done that as well, but it didn’t end as well as with you or the tractor. Knackered tires, wet grass, and an incline are never a good mixture.

That Audi will suddenly put the Quattro Concept into production.

That may be the case with your company, and I’m glad to hear there are still companies out there with a sense of right and wrong. Unfortunately, this story, and many others, are far too common, and combined with my own experience in a variety of jobs don’t leave me with much confidence that workers are going to be…

Exactly! Although I believe Marchionne attributes the Grande Punto with revitalizing the company fortunes, with the 500 and the Panda securing the brand. That thing was kitchen appliance level dull, but it sold like gangbusters in the 2000's.
