I hope you don't mind on this 4th of July weekend that you don't mind if I steal the phrase "as American as an Eagle eating a hot dog". My mom had a Hornet hatch back and my first car was an Eagle wagon. I wish I still had both. My family car is the modern alter ego of Eagle Wagon: Subaru Outback.

My entry brings up what American cars really are, not the rear drive muscle cars in our wet dreams, that very few Americans actually own. This car has the same name as a 1950's teen idol. It is available with bench seats and a column shifter. It is a gigantic comfortable front wheel drive with available chrome…

It seems like they should have done more rear drive platform sharing with Jaguar and Aston Martin back when they part of the Ford fold. It would be interesting to see what percent of Lincolns are registered in Florida.

The only thing missing is Lance Armstrong.

This guy sounds like he wants to be the next Jeremy Clarkson.

The death of American luxury really started in the 1970's and 1980's. Instead of Detroit ENGINEERING new cars to actually compete with the Mercedes and BMW's of the world, they carried over the same chassis, engines and really the same big cars from 1960's and added peeling fake chrome, fake plastic wood, whorehouse…

I would without hesitation go with Miata, because there is a 100% chance Mazda will get it right. Fiat on the other hand, they could very well screw it up. The Fiata could be the to the Mazda Miata what the Rover Sterling was to the Acura Legend.

Hi Luc,

One of my mentors early in my career once told me: "You can get away with being a competent asshole and you can get away with being an incompetent nice guy. Don't ever let yourself be an incompetent asshole." To me, it is easier to focus on my skills needed to be competent at my work and treat others the way I would…

Most of the cars listed here have some long term redeeming qualities, with committed groups of fans preserving a few that were left. My guilty pleasure is none of those. For some reason, I really appreciate Ford's radical attempt at redefining that mid-size 4 door. It has not aged well and most of them are either…

Someone needs to buy him one of these.

The most appropriate sponsorship ever on a 1970's Camaro racecar.

The opposite of a typical election: I so want to vote for both!

This is great news! I'm sure he still has a ways to go, but this is certainly better than a lot of the grim news that came out before. Let's hope his family can have him back soon!

It sounds like you are in it for the long game, focusing on doing the best job you can, improving, learning and working with your team to get better. Keeping that up will pay big when a little bit of good luck (or even a lack of bad luck) comes along.

I personally hate the front license plate. Its useless, ugly and costs the taxpayers extra money.

She's kinda hot. I'd like to put her up on a slope and....well never mind.

It seems to me that we should petition Hennessy, Koenigsegg, Porsche, McLaren, Ferrari or one of the other cars in the hypercars arms race to find a stretch of road in Dubai, or Montana and break that speed record. It is our duty to see that a Nazi record goes down.
