You didn’t mention this in the story, but when you borrowed the Escalade, did the owner tell you it was a diesel? I can’t imagine even considering the possibility if I wasn’t told explicitly. Also, I know others that have made this error, it can happen pretty easily from simple muscle memory.

Glad to see the improvements, really puzzled over the cacophony of window angles in the second row/rear quarter, which TBH kinda bother me design wise.

Surprised this wasn’t mentioned in the article, but IMO the most insidious component of lifestyle creep is the company you keep. I suppose for most (it is the case for me) that their circle of friends have people that vary in terms of wealth and how they choose to spend their money. Coming into more money can open the…

A tall order, but fingers crossed that the next Jag GT might be as beautiful as the F-type. Also, how do you make an EV sound this good?

Money. Makes people, and institutions, do crazy, immoral, things.

The OG host of Top Gear. The very top. RIP QE2.

2023 HRV

Leave it to Honda to make a more than passable version of the Macan and not tell anyone about it.

Semantics without a difference. SUV? CUV? Okay, not a CUV. Wagon? Nah, wrong connotations. I’d have voted for shooting brake, because I think the reality is much more wagon than it is high speed luxury performance hauler. 

Weird, but the fully electric Jeep was the first vehicle in the slideshow, but did it get counted in the list (I didn’t see accompanying text). But I’m really curious how they pull it off, and what the price will be. I think it looks sharp.

Asian tea (I love oolong, but like jasmine too). I think they go through stock quicker so it’s fresher, even though it’s a dried product.

Here’s hoping Jeep doesn’t garbage up the interiors, because this new styling is really nice, updated but with a clear design lineage that’s more than “oh, and we need the requisite bars across the grill” crap. Good job Jeep, keep it up and run through the finish line with the interiors.

I need a shower. Gross.

Not a promoter, but I have a few pairs of their shorts and a few of the shirts, and love them all, the price is great and they’re an outstanding value.

Didn’t work for Apple, doubtful it’ll work for VW.

I have some hope that the 2020's will be as wacky an era as the 70's were; electrification may do that. But some overlooked gems from that era: Triumph TR-7 (such a departure from the TR-6). Fiat’s X1-9, still the closest thing to a car version of an X-wing from Star Wars. Crazier that that Dodge hatchback was the AMC…

NOT the Pagoda (which is the MB in the other photos). I think it’s a 300sl, circa ~ ‘57. Wouldn’t throw it out of the garage either, but the 280 is the real deal, IMO the epitome of the breed.

“an assistant urinalysis coordinator.” Thank you, that was the snarky detail I needed today. He’s a douche, and I hope he loses in November. And beyond.

3 f-ing months. I long to believe in a kind, merciful, but ultimately fair God that will right the “justice” system’s error. 

Showing my age, but isn’t the last SEL before the Bruno Sacco era sedans, the more aerodynamic ones with a lot of bumper plastic? This is a beaut, and good for Mercedes to restore it to like new. Beautiful.
