Having owned an A-Body wagon, that rust is a nail in the coffin. This thing will vaporize if it doesn’t get taken care of. The 3100 is a great engine but it’s surrounded by wonderful junk.

They’re excellent. The ride is plusher than virtually any other Ford and the ones equipped with the 3.5 EcoBoost MOVE. Plus, there’s a freaking tailgate mode for the electric third row seats. How cool is that?!

“Demanding”...is that Latin for “mortifying?”

Normally I loathe Beetles...I’d shoot someone for one of these.

Some filthy rich people in PC. Ken Block lives there, too.

I unabashedly love modern Cadillacs. I love that Americans are still capable of making world beating, unbelievably gorgeous luxury cars. Except the XT5. I hate that damn thing.

+1000000. The Flex EcoBoost is one of the most character-filled vehicles on the road right now and it’s the only crossover I truly like other than the premium brands (Stelvio, Velar, Macan) and it is SO MUCH better than the Explorer.

My question is why the hell does it look IDENTICAL to a Jeep KL from the side? I mean, shit, man! It’s the same damn car!

That 500 Abarth comment made me cry a little... “That interior is made of, like, cardboard! And lies!”

Mind the bees, though.

The Bronco is benchmarked against the Wrangler in testing. It’ll fill that niche, but in reality, the Explorer should be the Ford Everest (look it up if you haven’t seen it, it’s badass) that competes with the 4Runner instead of a crap car that steals sales from its far superior Flex sister.

Please don’t leave out the HHR Panel SS!

Well damn, I’m sure it did. Would’ve me as well.

That’s depressing. I really, really like that design.

That Banshee...oh my...I’m getting a funny feeling.

It should be the CT8. The CT6 is fabulous in darn near every way but it just isn’t flagship material. This would be an amazing A8/S-Class/7 Series competitor.

This is just the best crossover (minus the AMC Eagle and maybe a few other choice cars) ever. Period. It looks fabulous and goes like a bullet, not to mention it’s about 1000% more practical than its Explorer brother.

One of my favorite culture groups I’ve become a part of in the last few years is my fellow Malaise Era enthusiasts. Everyone’s encouraging, helpful, and just damn nice.

This comment makes me mad that Cammisa doesn’t write for Jalopnik.
