Wow, GM sure couldn’t build cars in the 70's but they could definitely talk them up.

If you think the six in a relatively lightweight Nova is bad, just think of base model full-sizers back then. Maybe 100 wheezy horses to get 2 1/2 tons of steel moving?
I like how some people and others are just “brosky, are u fukin retarted?”
I would like to see a Dodge on there, old Dodge trucks are so pretty. Although according to my batshit crazy grandfather Dodge trucks were junk until the late 70’s. I wouldn’t take his word for it but it does explain why there are a surplus of 50’s-70’s Fords and Chevys but only a handful of 50’s and 60’s Dodges.
If you wanna talk clean, honest designs, look no further fella, you’ve found ‘em. This is the IH R-Series, it’s been a semi-truck, a pickup (as you can see), a travelall, a flatbed, a fire truck, a COE, and god knows what else. It did all this stuff with various gasoline inline 6’s and all it asks for in return is…
True, how about a 100hp Ford flathead V8 in a 3500lb Ford sedan? Yeah, everyone praises the flatty for it’s performance potential... the keyword in that is “potential”.
It’ll never go anywhere from a industry standpoint, it would ruin the oil monopoly. I know I sound like a crackpot, but people invent stuff like this all the time, like this guy:
Wow, I never thought of it this way. This actually pretty eye-opening.
And I’m about to get a Dakota Sport... yay for early 2000’s Chrysler quality! Built by people who care! Shit yeah! GO AMERICA!
Maybe it’s just me, but this thing does absolutely nothing for me. I absolutely love the W12 Continental, and usually even the weirdest and ugliest cars inspire some sort of emotion in me, but this “Bentayga” thing does nothing.
OH, my bad, I wasn’t paying attention. Thanks for the clarification.
Safety problems? I didn’t even know that could happen nowadays, but this is Alfa after all... and I’m surprised it didn’t sell more, Top Gear loved it and just about every car enthusiast in the world loves TG.
Agreed, this car might have looked amazing in say... 2010? 2011 maybe? But with modern technology anyone can make a curvy sedan. And I definitely agree with you on the 159, it looked menacing. Those sharp lines, that sinister face, mmmmhmmhmhasfdsafhasdhdsajkfhdsa.
Frankly, I think people shitting on Toyota and Nissan for not updating their small trucks is ridiculous. The Taco and the Frony are both simple, reliable, work trucks and nothing more. They don’t need to be “up-to-date” and advanced, that’s not what trucks are for. Small trucks like these are built to work all day and…
WHY? WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT? MY OCD WILL NEVER LET ME WATCH THIS MOVIE AGAIN!

Jesus H. Christ, feeling the rage boner tonight aren’t we? He was just talking about his experiences, that doesn’t mean he’s right. Besides, it’s kind of hypocritical that you’re using your experiences as an example too. There’s a ye olde internet saying: “Just because it happened to you doesn’t mean it will happen to…
