It’s actually Nylon, not vinyl.

But then you wouldn’t get the Matador in the brochure. The Matador was canned after ‘78.

The fixed rear window was only on the 2-passenger 1970.5-71 Gremlin. The 4-passenger model came with it standard, as did all 1972-78 Gremlins.

The wagon also has a 4" longer rear overhang. So it’s not just a squared-up roofline. It’s genuinely more cargo space.

This is the sort of car that Packard would make today if they were around and run by the types of folks who ran it at its zenith in the ‘10s, ‘20s, and mid-’30s.

Bullshit.

Truer words were never spoken.

I just don’t see how this moves the supercar design game forward. It has all the mid-engine proportions, but it just doesn’t look special to me. If it goes for $70k, it will be special for a car in that price bracket.

#COTD. Nicely done.

Yeah. Plus, East Asian automakers typically opened dealerships and offered their cars in the West several months - sometimes as much as a year - before the rest of the nation. The combination of early availability, quality, and reliability without the threat of premature rust from road salt, made these things…

Welp, there goes that theory.

Not in the West

OK, I’ll bite. Which parts interchange with the W211 E-Class?

It’s almost as if we’re commenting on a page in which a headline has been written to report on a company has that announced an update to one of their vehicles, an update which they’re marketing as a “Widebody.”

1st Gear:

I mean, this Widebody treatment is an update that literally keeps the ~15 year-old Charger in the headlines.

As of March 2019, FCA had €0.82 in assets for every €1.00 in liabilities. Their current debt is about €15B while their working capital is €13B. That’s still significantly leveraged.

These things do not get the credit they deserve. Colts were advanced, well-made, well-equipped, reliable, good-looking, available in a variety of body styles and trim levels, and as they were sold out of Dodge dealers, their pricing pressures were held in check by the presence of much larger metal across the showroom…

Just wait until enough time has passed for all the sedans - especially compacts and subcompacts - that are being canceled no longer factor in.

FCA is highly leveraged and has been committing much of its profits to paying off debt.
