@fuhteng: You would saddle the 1969 Corvette ZL1 with the name "mullet mobile?" Need I remind you of the 427 ci aluminum V8 which was estimated to produce upwards of 550hp? Shame on you!

Sure, a '58(ish?) Corvette is cool but a one-of-16 D-Type-based Jaguar XKSS is completely unfuckwithable.

1. The rootbeer brown 1970 Dodge Coronet "440" that was owned at various times by two of my brothers and one of my nephews (too bad it actually had the 383).

So, if Mini builds something they've never built before it bastardizes the brand? I don't buy that logic. Give Mini credit for bringing their brand to people for whom a two-door hatchback isn't practical. They're right to build vehicles that strive to uphold the values behind the brand rather than restrict themselves…

@PowerTryp Reply Master: That was the year I had in my head but I doubted myself and was misinformed by wikipedia.

The Mustang "finally" got (optional) IRS in 2003. I doubt whether a return to IRS would affect sales either way.

@fhull001: The Probe: A car as great as its name!

@mr_dude: I would guess that it's not two shots overlaid but two or three copies of the same shot overlaid. Bottom layer gets lots of gaussian blur. Second layer is sharp but with a gradiated mask so that foreground to background transitions from sharp to blurry. Top layer is the car in sharp focus, clipped out from…

I know all the reasons I'm supposed to hate this thing but I'm convinced it would be a helluva lot more fun to drive than my fiancée's CVT-equipped Nissan Rogue

@The Cheat: are you asking if she's included in the purchase price or if she and the car attain peak performance simultaneously?

@KeyserSoze - Professional Blog Commenter: NHTSA & IIHS are probably the two biggies.

@Brian: You mean you do not fit in a proper Lotus. If Clarkson can cram himself into an Evora, you probably can too.

@EMTtech: lousy photochopping

@AmishJohn: No credito? Le pagan en cash? No problema! Compre aqui y paguen aqui!

@LuciferV8: I have an auto loan through BoA and can confirm that their cotomer sevis is nonexistent.

@Maxx Cracker:It's $34K on top of the price of new GT.

It looks like the driver is going to be a Lego minifig

"Jota" is way too short for a name. A proper Lamborghini has to be called something like [obscure bullfighting reference] LP-760 SVJ.

They need to hire Sabine Schmitz as a driver. Even though she didn't beat Clarkson's Diesel Jag 'ring time, who could be a faster van driver?

The carpocalypse has made me skeptical. I read this as the falcon still has a long life ahead (as a rebadged Taurus). Maybe there is hope for the large RWD platform to continue on and replace the panther.
