I would actually believe that it was penned by two separate designers: one for everything from behind the doors, and one for everything in front of the doors.

Though I went nice price I would have to check out the body first to really know.  If it is a recent repaint, then there may be all sorts of trouble skimmed over and hidden underneath.

It can technically not be a typo, and still indicative of an issue with their pricing algorithm. I somehow doubt someone looked up the Lancer, looked up comps and said “yep, this is right.”

I was hoping VW would eventually revive the Thing as a sort of EV soft-roader you can thrash around and have fun in but still daily drive... instead they’re following the crowd and making another Wrangler.

There’s a whole off-roading sub-culture around those SUVs.

“Volkswagen has never produced an off-road SUV worth a single damn, Touareg and Cayenne included. “

There is no vehicle that VW could put out with the Scout name that would make Scout enthusiasts happy.

VW bought Navistar for their trucking business, not for the Scout name. The Scout name was incidental to the deal.

Holding out too much hope for the revival of a car brand that’s been dead for 42 years on the eve of the transition to EVs was probably a bad idea.

From the Hyundai website: ...sold at select Hyundai dealers in AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, LA, MA, MD, ME, MO, NC, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, TX, UT, VA, WA, and WI...

The great recession shortly afterwards didn’t help either.

The Testarossa had a little mirror in the glove box, but I don’t think it was for makeup.

9A, not ABF. 220mm block, not the ABF/ABA’s 236. It’s more like 2k right now to get a car here. And we did get B3 9A wagons in the US, just not very many.

That’s a 9A, not an ABA. The fact that the seller calls it an ABA (taller deck height block, same bore and stroke, but 8 valves) and dumped it on the ultimate scene setup of $2000 of wheel with $50 of suspension tells me all I need to know. CP.

I appreciate the whimsy, but there is not $10k worth of kitsch here, nor can the underlying vehicle justify such a price.

When I was a little dude, my parents had a Gremlin with (IIRC) a straight-6 258cid and a three-speed manual on the floor. It apparently had a habit of twisting driveshafts, or maybe that was just my dad’s right foot.

There’s no way you find a running six speed LS F-body for under $15k. A clean example was $20k pre pandemic. The tremec transmissions alone are worth thousands.

Cadillac Cimarron. With models like the BMW 3-Series and other small European luxury cars getting popular in the US, GM wanted to compete... so they stuck a Cadillac badge on a Chevy Cavalier and gave it “luxury” equipment like velour seats and power windows. It also got the Cavalier’s 80hp 4-cylinder engine... but…

Tell me you’re burning oil without telling me you’re burning oil.

This one is for when you want to take all weekend just to get where you are weekending. Or your favorite campground is just around the corner. Or maybe you just live in a VERY small island nation?
