I love manual transmissions and always will but have never really thought of one in a luxury SUV before and now I’m not so sure it would be right. Maybe I just picture myself driving that BMW with more maturity than I usually bring to the table.

Maybe it really is just 209 miles.

It’s been a few hours since this was unveiled, is anyone selling the decal set on eBay yet? 

3rd Gear: Toyota’s a little late to the party by calling their pickup platform the F1, even if that’s only internal...

I live in what you’d probably consider the middle of nowhere, surrounded by what most would consider seven hours of nothing in every direction. Still had a new employee move to town in his Model X without having to try too hard to find places to charge.  Turns out the chargers exist, we just never think of them if we…

Perhaps most striking is the enormous amount of free space around each car.  Every car museum I’ve been to has had them packed in like sardines and while I appreciate the volume, it gets hard to really appreciate what you’re looking at then they’re jammed door to door.

It’s always seemed to me like a brilliant feat of packaging trapped inside what looks like a Neon with a tumor.  Maybe if it was less bubbly it could call back to so many small-cars-with-big-greenhouses from the 60's for a win...  but it didn’t.

I thought he was leading me on as an April fools’ joke, especially with how it cleaned the engine, but it appears true.  Now I’m wondering if a diesel will run on the stuff like it will on vegetable oil.

I absolutely hate how much I don’t hate that Mustang-nosed Escape(?) photoshop above.

Interesting. Now that the next Escape looks like an inflated Focus, what if all cars morph into crossover versions of themselves? I guess it was inevitable that when every vehicle is an SUV the class would have enough room to subdivide into different groups.

At first I was three hundred percent on board with this idea of a new Type Three, except ‘Type’ dosn’t really feel right in the modern vernacular so this double trunk electric VW would have to be called the Model Thr...DAMMIT.

In what alternate universe did the Corvette fail and the Opel GT thrive?

More importantly, how is someone NOT racing one of these in LeMons?

The week I graduated from college at 23 years old I went out and bought myself a brand new City Golf. What’s a City Golf? Well, there was a period of a couple years in Canada where the super clean diesel wasn’t going to be available and VW hadn’t quite stumbled onto the secret to keeping emissions down on the dirty…

Duh.

Get outta here with your ‘facts’ and ‘knowledge.’  This is the internet, you should just be shouting what you believe.

Ford was selling roadster pickups as a kit nearly a hundred years ago, and started sending them that way from the factory in 1926.

Was this not LITERALLY the premise of the Dodge Magnum commercials?

Normally I’d say I need more info, like is this combination of vehicle and engine available in other markets and if so how faithful is this conversion to that? On the other hand, FIFTEEN GRAND FOR A NEARLY 20 YEAR OLD SUV.  That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

I don’t understand how I can hate and love something so hard at the same time, but that Mustang... thing... is doing it to me.
