Those birds noticed a defect in QA and were gonna talk!

I remember, back in the day when VW was teetering in the U.S. (and possibly more broadly), a dealership manager told me that the new Beetle saved them. As kitschy cool as it is, I don’t think that $70K Bus is going to be able to pull the same trick. I’m a fan, but as I’ve said elsewhere, I really wish they made a car…

I still think it was a missed opportunity to do a Talladega Nights 2 leading up to Le Mans with the Garage 56 Nascar.

Ricky Bobby gets recruited to race his car in the 24H of Le Mans, and faces off once again against Jean Girard and Girard’s father who faced off against Reese at Le Mans in 1976. *Cue flashbacks of…

NP. The build quality on these trucks was excellent, almost 90's LandCruiser class, just a little less posh.

My first pick? The K5. The blazer name is taken, so let’s go with the GMC version, the Jimmy. The current Canyon AT4X/ Colorado ZR2 platform is straight up awesome, and recent. It would be the perfect basis to bring a Wrangler/Bronco fighter to market. MAKE IT SO!

One of my HS classmates owned a Plymouth TrailDuster, which was a badge engineered Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth’s only ever SUV.

Easy answer is the Xterra.

The Jeep FC, duh.

To be fair, Isuzu is still in the US market. They’ve just shifted their focus to the medium-duty COE truck market (and pretty much own that segment). What that means for Trooper parts, I have no clue, but this example deserves a NP.

I have driven cars from almost every era since the 70's in various conditions and have never once had to tighten an essential bolt like the one that holds the door hinge onto the body.  And ditto on never ever having an issue with a pedal, whether gas, clutch, or brake.  It blows my mind that this is happening on…

Different strokes for different folks — I’d wager you’ve found yourself where a lot of people do who ride and have wanderlust... and then find life just doesn’t support doing much of it in its current iteration. Because I still do have that pull to get out there and am hitting a stage in life that actually makes it…

I haven’t driven the current M2 but I really didn’t care for the previous-gen model and I don’t like almost any new M cars, so it would be the RS3 for me

I replied to that thread wrt to the Buick Envista and poster countered with Envista GNX. I think the Envista looks good already and has an “ST” trim, but I just can’t get onboard with a 1.2 3-cylinder turbo with a wet timing belt.

At least this sort of hedonistic display of wealth I can accept. It beats buying a newspaper and then overriding the editorial boards...

Was hoping the Lobo would up the engine game but kept it low key, they could drop a 2.7TT in as know it has had FWD applications.

“China outlaws drug use in other countries”

Considering how many millionaires/billionaires there are out there, and the fact that no non millionaires or billionaires (or, really anyone for that matter) want to buy any of Jaguar’s current offerings, well, offering as they only make the F-Pace now...you’d think they’d all want something this bespoke instead of…

Man, of all the times to get drunk and drive the wrong way down a highway, I had to pick then! I mean, he, he had to pick then! *hic*

If I had “pay Jaguar to hand-build two examples of a sixty-year-old car” money, I would absolutely do this.

A separate AC control to turn the compressor on and off was normal for the time. My 74 Volvo had a rocker switch for AC separate from the rest of the heater controls. Most of my older cars had a separate AC button, but it was on the HVAC panel. Even my most modern car has that. AC is a button in the temp knob.
