In the first quarter of 1942, the entire US automotive industry retooled into Fuck-A-Nazi-Up mode. Nothing else like it in history. 

The only familiar models produced during the war bore nameplates such as B-17. Civilian car production vanished. 

It is nice to see survivors like this still on the road, neither hot-rodded nor barn-found.

Not pictured: the dozen dirtbikes that fit in the wayback of these glorious wagons.

I was hoping for an SWB with a regular cab and short box, RWD, body color bumpers and trim, otherwise poverty-spec. You know, a pickup. 

The Yaris Timing Association is an exclusive club, bravo.

I am sure that dozens of pig retention technologies are specifically banned.

I am disproportionately amused by the carbon door card clearanced for the cage.

Yes, for good reason. The SVX was penned by Italdesign. One assumes that the project charter was brief: Like a sports coupe, but weird. 

I always think that the RS looks like Darth Vader's bike helmet. Which feels appropriate. It can choke you out with the power of its mind, but it's still kind of dorky. 

Okay but what happens in the third half of the show?

Saturn V means it’s a three-seater, excellent. 

It had never occurred to me before, but now I kind of want it to be a GMC.

Subaru should be the manufacturer most likely to have a keyless entry option. I've often lamented the lack of a keypad on my Forester. 

I don't select a lot of options, but I'd choose this from the factory every time.

Hierarchy of Steve McQueen automotive association:

That’s one I hadn't heard of, cool! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going Vette-tipping. 

I love the 5 digit keypad on Ford trucks. It's way better than a proximity key and solves lots of problems when traveling with multiple people or engaging in water-sports, mountain biking, any fun outdoor activity designed to kill electronic keys...

Yes, and wages have failed to keep pace with inflation. The US has had a decade of continuous GDP growth while wages have hardly reacted.
