I think they've lightened up. I was supposed to be in Vegas this weekend but had to cancel — thankyouverymuch, polar vortex! — and had reserved the new Mustang Penske GT. Not only was it comparatively inexpensive ($100/day with my AAA discount), the only "limit" I saw in the fine print I read was driving no more than

What, seriously? Even the TRUCKS here are mostly 2WD, let alone the cars. If you see a Suburban or F-150 being driven by someone who clearly does not live in the country, it's almost certainly 2WD. There really is no point in getting AWD/4WD in this part of the country 99% of the time; it's just the 1% you need to

I'm sorry, but there are two brazen errors in here — which I say as an unabashed oyster enthusiast who's tried nearly every variety under the sun:

Did anyone notice you had Tennessee plates?

The truth is the NV200 actually makes a really great cab. As much as it hurts to say, it makes a much better cab than the old Crown Vics that used to ply the city's streets. Sure, the Crown Vic is more fun to drive, with its big V8, rear drive, and willingness to drift through alleyways full of cardboard boxes, but

Exactly. Btw it appears that Lewis was flying Lufthansa First Class, which has the rather unique perk (on certain long-range intercontinental jets, at least) of giving every passenger a seat AND an adjacent flat-bed (at no extra charge). See pic. While I detest this fake "service dog" bullshit, at least he (probably)

"I read that block of text you posted and if you think Porsche hasn't "lost its way" via the garbage you spew that you are absolutely bias. Their cars are huge compared to what they have made just 10 years ago."

An 'embargo' is when a journalist, and a car company the journalist is supposed to cover, agree to withhold news from you, the reader, for reasons that have almost everything to do with the company's best interests. Jalopnik's policy is to not agree with these, but not for reasons of ethics. It just gives us a huge

That's just mean.

"Their is no talk about Porsche losing their way but instead admissions that the PDK is the way to go for performance."

That doesn't surprise me. The better question is whether they successfully sell busted-ass '88 Wranglers for $8K, since anyone who knows anything about them (or, really, anyone who isn't a complete idiot) would laugh in their face at such a preposterous idea.

Where to begin...

Um, if it's on CL, wouldn't they be assuming a local person would buy it? (and thus inspect it in person, test-drive it, and - if they're smart - have a mechanic inspect it, too)

False equivalency. Wranglers are modern vehicles available in much greater supply. Early Broncos — or at least ones in working, or even restorable, condition — are much rarer. The fact that neither of them can necessarily tackle the Baja 1000 (at least without a shitton of suspension and chassis mods) doesn't lessen

Well, that's your opinion, but it's not market reality. Restored '70s-era Broncos and LandCruisers (particularly FJ40s) bring in *loads* of bank. Basically, they look cool and have the build quality of a tank, so there's nearly as much consistent demand for them as there is for '60s muscle cars.

Not crazy about either one, but there's no way I can possibly vote for anything manufactured by the shitfest that was AMC.

It was introduced in concept form in '05, but didn't make it to production and on to the American market until early '07.

Is Audi really starting to rest on its laurels? That's what this analyst who spoke to Reuters is saying:

"The Q7 is almost as old as the XC90"

Okay, that closeup didn't work...
