Mark V looks better, but wasn’t it decontented against the Mark IV?

Okay, but what about a contemporary Lincoln Town Car, if our standard is kinda comfortable car that’ll last forever?

Thankfully my kid has mostly moved on from this stuff to standard cartoons, because this makes Paw Patrol palatable.

MkII got there first (and even then, earlier Jag sedans could probably argue for the mantle), but yes, needs to be some sort of Jag on the slideshow in a couple days.

The only net positive the Escalade EXT gave the world was John Phillips’s review of it.

That basically looks like the colour on the contemporary Silverado SS, and it kind of works there, but yeah, not really fitting a luxury truck.

Even prior to that, there was a diesel-powered XJ early in its life, although it also came from Europe (via Renault)

Probably true, but also nothing new.

250. There is not a single rational use where 250 cannot be justified as enough (assuming proper torque). Is more nice? Sure! Do I think the world is ending because like a dozen people are going to buy a 1000hp Hummer EV’s? Not really. But if you can’t have fun, or tow, or comfortably cruise at highway speeds with…

Sorry, as a reluctant crossover owner, I have to dispute the “as practical,” when it should be “almost as practical.” Sedans don’t handle irregularly shaped cargo as well as wagony things, and modern North American tow ratings are asinine. Basically, my kingdom for a GTI wagon and Euro tow ratings.

Don’t underestimate just how prolific they are - there are over 3500 Tim’s locations in Canada (roughly 1 for every 11,500 people), there is nothing that common in the US (closest is apparently Subway, 1 for every 17,750 Americans). If you’re rarely ever more than a kilometer from your nearest Tim’s, it increases the…

Andy is shown in a convertible at the end, it just doesn’t establish if that’s how he got to Mexico.

CCM is now known for hockey gear and shifty Canadian Tire bikes, but in the early 1900's when they made good bikes, they got in the burgeoning car market with the Russell Motor Car Company. Best I can tell, they were fairly premium, which lead to a lot of their assets being sold off to the Willys-Overland company.…

A I understand it, there's an Iveco truck under there, which at least in Canadian Armed Forces spec (as built by Western Star) which by all accounts was terrible. Although, one of the big complaints was the weedy horrible engine, which a nose fulla Windsor solves.

Yup, Opel Kadett, as built by Daewoo (and really, no more exuberantly styled than its foreign counterparts). Fun fact - a retired German chancellor owned the hot hatch variant of the Kadett when new, I think it’s in Opel’s heritage collection now (I believe it’s roughly the equivalent of Jimmy Carter having owned a…

This Paddington 2 (he’s even named after a train station!) erasure will not stand, man.

There’s literally a police station in the mall across the parking lot!

Except for maybe the shape/styling, none of it is what Amber’s looking for, but I’d love to see Honda dust off the CB1100 (and honestly, given my riding skill, build a lower-displacement variant, although I’d hate to give up the 4-cyl).

Were UJM’s known for being particularly light? A CB750 (possibly the UJM’est of UJM’s) was like 480lbs.

Genuinely, the C3 is a cool little thing, and I wish it had the staying power of the Honda Ruckus. Who doesn’t want to ride a vintage cooler on wheels?
