Is it weird that I really don’t care how old the 300 is at this point?

Any answer that isn’t the Ford GT90 is the wrong answer.

Ever heard of the modern day Lotus Europa? If you haven’t, you’d be forgiven. It was basically a slightly larger, slightly softer, and slightly less attractive Lotus Elise. It wasn’t different enough to justify its existence, and honestly people wondered why it did.

It has to be Porsche. They’re so on the ball all the time. At worst, they’re “above average.” At their very best, which is often, they’re some of the greatest cars ever made.

I have always wanted one of the newer Crowns, seems like I finally may get my chance. They sell the Avalon out here in the Middle East, hopefully we get some of the new Crown variants out here as well.

I think the F40 sets appreciated, could be wrong. I remember people telling me about it, because I had a sealed box for several years, until I built it with my father-in-law during the pandemic.

Don’t these things appreciate very quickly? I remember reading a thing on Lego as investment back in the day.

The correct answer is the convertible you have access to. I’ve enjoyed a Peugeot 207CC in good weather before, and that car was a steaming pile of garbage otherwise. I’d imagine even something terrible, like a Sebring, would be a great car to cruise in when the weather is right.

Oh man, the Emiratis are going to love this.

That entire late 90s surge of affordable, cheap, compact coupes in Europe. Ford Puma, Opel/Vauxhall Tigra, Renault Megane Coupe...there were a ton of them, and I thought they were all awesome growing up.

This is kind of what’s happening. We talked him in into it, and set him up with a contact of ours at Lotus, so he can get his car guaranteed by December/January. He’s warming up to the idea, but not 100% there yet.

Not 100% sure. This is not in the US, for what it’s worth, but here goes.

He went and did a test drive, put a deposit down for a Cayman GTS. Delivery was expected September this year. Got pushed to December, they gave him some freebies to make up for it. Now they’ve called, and told him they can’t guarantee a car at…

Good friend put a deposit down for a Cayman GTS a few weeks ago. He’s now been told that car is probably not happening because of global supply chain problems. He’s shopping alternatives, and I told him to take a look at getting one of these. I know it’s probably not in the same league as the GTS, but damn they’re…

I remember someone did an article ages ago about the Acura ZDX being the last product of “old Honda” (or was it “good Honda”). Apparently there was some genuinely cool engineering stuff on it, like some hinges. Might’ve even been on this website, maybe Torch before he got too weird for me?

This is freakin’ awesome.

I live out in the UAE, and I’m just about done seeing the Wrangler EVERYWHERE. It is the darling of reverse status signalling rich folk, that want to act like they spend on experiences, not things.

Man, y’all are really angry and cynical at Jalopnik these days.

Massively underrated cars. Even base models with autos were decent amount of fun.

Interesting. That makes it look like little more than a Tonale with a new grille. Even the lights seem to be the same. I’m guessing that means certain markets will get it as a Dodge, others as an Alfa depending on which brand is stronger.

I listened to a couple podcasts with Murray on them, and I kind of feel for him. As someone that loves cars, has worked in the industry, yet wants nothing to do with it, I understand where his attitude may have come from. He’s had to work with Mercedes, BMW, Tyrell, McLaren...he’s been through the industry ringer,…
