I think the Land Cruiser 70 Series is the hotness. I wish Toyota would bring them to the States, and pick up some of the Wrangler four door market.

I guess there is always the fake pillar to enjoy instead.

I may be in the minority, but I’m not digging the look of the new Defender. I can see that thing not selling well, and if it flops maybe they will offer a truck to bring some interest. Still, I think the old Defender looks much better than the new one. Kind of wonder if this one isn’t going to be a bust.

This doesn’t surprise me one bit. Land Rover are no longer in the business of making tough work vehicles with the highest capabilities. Now they just want to sell premium SUVs to soccor moms.

As an Indian living abroad, let me give my $0.02.

India is like a turn-based strategy game where the government put 95% of their points into education and technology development, and neglected to develop all infrastructure for 50 years.

It was an act of ideologically-driven organized crime. Team W wanted to bask in the glory of a wartime presidency and had no qualms about putting Al Qaeda on the equivalent level of an enemy state actor to do so, and indeed belittled John Kerry for suggesting they be treated like the criminal organization they are.

Your local Toyota dealer will stock only white, black, grey, and silver units, however.

It was a nice excuse to invade Iraq. A country that wasn’t a threat to us in any fashion.  

It’s just a color name, and it’s a good color. The issues you bring up have merit generally, but you’re stretching in this case.

Relax ... it’s for the upcoming alien invasion. Between our numbnuts scientists sending out signals and their probes circling ever closer there’s a good chance we’ll be fighting for the survival of the human race soon.

One thing they neglected to mention in this, much to my disappointment, is that although its built on the same platform as the traverse, the interiors couldn’t be any further apart. The XT6 is actually shorter than the Traverse and Enclave, and the interior is almost identical to the GMC Acadia (seating position and…

Nice overspray in the X6s fake vent 

I appreciate the effort to make grey, the lowest common denominator of car colours, more interesting and special!

I am terribly disappointed that the fire hydrant is not spewing water 80 feet in the air and dozens of children have not come to frolic in it. Another Hollywood myth shattered.

Today, I saw and was able to stop one of the littlest old ladies I’ve ever seen, who was driving this:

This kind of deep, down and dirty journalism is why we love your work David. That and your insane capacity for self punishment vis a vis car projects.

Seatbelt person here! Those tugs you are feeling actually a motorized seatbelt retractor. It’s unfortunate to hear it scared you. The point is actually to minimize the amount of tension you feel normally by using the motor to take up slack. It has other major benefits as well though, unfortunately, you won’t see them d…

Maybe, perception has inflation as well. I know that $3 a gallon 10 years ago got people freaked out in my area, now its consider cheap.
