Agreed. I had a 2017 XC90 Inscription T6 with the Amber interior. I quite liked it. It’s still the best interior of any car I’ve had before or since, and the Bowers & Wilkins audio system was every bit as good as advertised.

I haven’t a clue; I didn’t ask. If nothing else, it’s probably a ploy to try and get out of a ticket if he does get pulled over.

I will personally come after you if you adulterate that GT500 for the sole reason of souping up a Panther.

As recently as this summer, my ex had a 2005 Town Car Signature Limited. Gold, too. He drove that thing like a bat out of hell. Powering around corners without slowing down, doing 15 minimum over the posted speed limit, and swerving around slower-moving cars. I think he really wanted a Civic Si, and was driving it…

That was Arne Toman and his “Fraud” Taurus, as he called it, a modified Audi S6. I met Arne and his car when they joined us on a rally a couple of months ago. People really did move out of the way.

Ditto. That song also came to mind for me.

It was also a 60-degree V8, which fit better with Volvo’s transverse platforms and provided more crash space in the engine bay.

I didn’t see this, but I would have submitted the Bentley/Rolls-Royce L-Series V8.

Actually, they were likely going for the third definition, given that it fits with the theme of their other vehicles: Nautilus, Aviator, Navigator.

It’s Lincoln’s compact luxury CUV. It competes with cars like the Q5, X3, GLC-Class, XT4, NX, and XC60. Like the MKC it replaced, it is closely related to the contemporary Escape.

Oh, very nice. That is a new addition!

Except that they are quite successful at it, and a company’s goal is first and foremost to make money.

Right. You also were never able to get the V12 with AWD in a Mercedes-Benz, so S 600, AMG S 65, and Maybach S 650 drivers had to make do with just RWD. If I remember correctly, the only production Mercedes-Benz to have AWD/4WD and the V12 was the AMG G 65.

I thought the prior “W222" S-Class’s interior exuded warmth and quality. This one is a little too far down the minimalist rabbit hole for my taste.

Whoever suggested GMC shouldn’t exist has an axe to grind, and is just being ridiculous.

The Borgward in question looks like the Wish.com version of the gen. 1 Audi Q5.

Also, any Ford truck or van with the Triton V10. But those didn’t have the class of a Touareg V10 TDI.

Mercedes Streeter is now with David Tracy, Jason Torchinsky, and others at The Autopian.

Most TDI engines were reliable. I had a couple of TDI SportWagens, myself (granted, they were purchased new) that provided exceptional service.

Oh, and then there’s the line, “The seller purchased this Touareg in June 2022 and has added approximately 600 miles since.” Allegedly that’s because the seller is a car enthusiast who doesn’t need a big SUV, but 100 miles a month is suspiciously low. Maybe they really did have their fun over the course of 600 miles,…
