I will say that I’m actually quite fond of the current frontier. Its only real flaws are a dated interior, a thirsty and coarse engine and a hilarious turning circle. maybe an updated D40 isn’t a bad thing, though that almost certainly means bye bye VQ40 and hello to the VQ35 with more horsepower and less torque.
“futuristic look” will likely equal squinty headlights and +$10K in asking price.
“rugged,off-road inspired...” is the new fake wood.
Man. You’d hate to see all of the lifted $100K full custom Jeeps with 36"+ tires around me that don’t do anything other than cut people off coming out of Costco because they are too busy with their Starbucks drink to turn their head and check for cars before merging.

Eighties cars sucked too. Soooo many vacuum lines.
It’s cute how these twenty and thirty somethings get all nostalgic and romantic over those old 70s crap can cars. I lived through the horror of a new Vega that would just stop running.

Or if EA made cars, you would have to buy each as a DLC.
A Holden Commodore. I’m pretty sure every single one is tested and burnout-approved before they leave the factory.
Because everyone follows the laws in a country that started as a prison island.
Thank you for highlighting the charm these cars have. People will forever ding this car for its weight, its bulk, its ancient platform, and relatively unsophisticated power plant, but there’s no denying how goddamn cool it is, and how badass it makes you feel whenever you drive it. You have to throw logic out the…
The W211-generation Mercedes E55 is one of those cars you’d like to be chauffeured in. It’s a big behemoth of a…
It’s pretty remarkable how context and nostalgia can make almost anything tolerable. I’m sure if you grew up with a…
What’s that I see?
Hopefully this doesn’t get cross posted to Jezebel. “Transbrake” might be considered a derogatory term
I can’t imagine the cost of integrating a NHTSA compliant (or whatever the governing safety standard entity is) roll cage. Bashing your head into the roll cage without a helmet on the small, frontal overlap crash test I’m sure is something SRT didn’t want to deal with.
