If they do go for the Trail Rated route, and if it's as ruggedly good as the Panda 4x4, this will be an amazingly capable and cool little Jeep once people give it flares and offset wheels.

There is no doubt that this or its equivalents are essential to the preservation of internal combustion as a practical solution to the environmental and regulatory woes of present days, but I do have a question. Maybe, Travis, you will see this and reply. Or someone. But as someone who buys and rates cars based on…

Clearly you don't live in Vermont, Colorado, or the Pacific Northwest haha. Because we buy wagons. A lot of them. And there was a noticeable shift away from Subaru when they stopped making the Legacy wagon and turned the Outback into an SUV, just as there was a shift away from Audi when they reduced their wagon range.…

It's also a joke, which would explain such a reaction. There is obviously a market for vehicles, as is the case in any industry regardless of nationality or economic style. I find it dull and uninspiring that designers should consistently choose to replicate (often poorly) the work of other companies, but there is…

Yeah, but the competitors of those cars look largely the same anyway. The Chinese copies are very much identical - the only thing holding them back is the lack of 21st century CAD programs and the fact that they're probably doing it from memory.

There's plenty of a market for it. And it actually works to their benefit that the majority of Super Bowl viewers can't afford it - the point is that they want it, and that can translate across tax brackets.

Link to the car in question, should that be a requirement of eligibility.

A lot of you have posted 2-series cars in your posts. I find this a bit disappointing, because to me, I don't see a new, unknown concept when I look at the F22-chassis cars. Rather, I see this:

You must be new here...

I've been staring at it for a minute, and I can still picture it on both sides.

Yes. They borrowed but one truck.

A Brabus W124? That must be a truly incredible machine.

They're order-only options. I've driven one, and it's a great transmission and actually does fit the car. There are also tons of magazine tests that use a wide range of manual V wagons in various colors/combos, so there are a ton out there. Your knowledge of V wagons from personal experience probably isn't the best…

I saw a ZDX today. They're not actually that bad looking, and I imagine they drive decently well (having driven Accords and Crosstours on occasion as a valet).

Was going to suggest Italy, and nothing else. Actually good, fresh sandwiches on the road? Yes. Absolutely.

Never mind that - the transaction was complete. She dropped the keys off. No more transaction. Done.

The people, that's what.

There are a couple of these at the ski club I valet for. They hold their own in sales against the SCSs ("Suburban Chassis SUVs") that populate most of the members' winter homes, but not so much in build quality or capability.

Someone actually bought one of those things around where I live. Why someone would look out the window in Vermont and say "yes, I think a convertible, two-door Nissan crossover would do nicely," I have no idea.

Shame Mercedes paid that one into existence. Fuck Mercedes (even though I have owned/want another W124).
