My Take: The coupes look terrible. Why bother?

I’ve worked for people like this - serial ‘entrepreneurs’ with nothing but failures and broken promises behind them. The thrill for them isn’t working with others to produce a viable company, which makes a profit and provides some sort of public good.

People who drive really old stuff have it figured out, have addressed weaknesses, etc., so I’m not sure where this reliability trolling comes from.

Yup. I’ve had a number of Jags over the years - it is true that ‘normals’ regularly come up to me and compliment my car and say “some day, if only, etc.” 

I really can’t abide the looks of the new F1 cars, so for purely superficial reasons, nothing past - say - 2014.

I was curious, so I checked: 845 bhp.

How does Jeep make versions of the same simple vehicle for 50+ years and still end up on this list? Jebus, that’s bad.

Is there a way I can make money on all the Prince of Darkness, warm beer, looks great on a tow truck, etc. comments from people who want to argue after I note that I have 300k MGB - bought in 1993 - which has never had one electrical problem, other than when I replaced the fuel pump with a Mitsubishi unit?

Car and Driver did a long-term test on a 2014 V-8 F type. In 40,00 miles they found a glitchy infotainment system (that was fixed with a recall), those motorized pop-up air vents had issues, and a rear taillight cluster failed.

Uh huh. I’ve got a 2016 XF with that same ‘shit’ V-6 that returns 30+ mpg on the highway, doesn’t use a drop of oil, pushes a 3,800 lb car through the quarter in the low 13's, and is just as refined as the V-8 in my R129 Mercedes.

JFC. You people just can’t help yourselves, huh?  Let’s try some facts:

Indeed.

Get ready for all sorts of epic blame-shifting.

I laughed at that statement, too...

If they could engineer the headlights to shine directly into the review mirror of anyone who happened to be in front of this thing, they’d increase sales by about 50%.

Love that the seller decided to take pics with the lights on, but couldn’t be bothered to replace a burned-out bulb in the passenger side taillight. That speaks volumes about a lazy, lazy man. Thanks but...No. Way. Jose.

A lot of good choices here. I’m in Denver, and certain parts of town are completely littered with oversized SUVs driven by women in Yoga pants, while other parts have epidemic numbers of Douche Bros in Stellantis vehicles.

More my speed, when it comes to Buicks.

Trucks are for work...or showing us every last one of your personality problems.

Those Alfas are wonderful (if you fit!), but I looked at bunch, and the rust issues were generally epic. Before buying, that’s a car that you definitely put up on a rack and go over with a fine-tooth comb.
