Always loved Subies for the quirkiness factor. SVX, XT, every single bodystyle that was shared with the Gen 2 BRAT (mid 80s), but this has probably always been my favorite. 80s cocaine white. How can you go wrong?

Not often enough, but every now and then something happens that helps restore my faith in humanity. This is one of those things. Awesome job, guys!

Didn't we just go thru a series of articles about how the K900 isn't selling anywhere near targets?

In the interest of fair reporting, it should be noted that these people are not from Florida, as hard to believe as that is.

Wasn't a Navy kid, but growing up in Penasquitos in the early 80s you couldn't escape the presence of Fightertown USA. Plus, I had enough Navy friends that I often got to tour the base beyond just the annual airshow stuff (Boy Scout leaders, etc.). Beyond that, I had the joyous experience of watching Top Gun on…

Yeah, but when there's either meaningful heritage behind the names (Continental, Legend, Escalade) or a sense of what the car is supposed to embody or evoque (Elmiraj, Wraith, Mulsanne), the model names support and enhance the brand. I never wanted Caddy to ditch the names for STS, DTS and so on, nor did I want…

In the perfect little world inside my car geek skull, Nissan would develop a scalable, lightweight RWD chassis that would underpin the IDx/510 as a sports-oriented econobox, a reborn 200SX/Silvia to compete against the Toyobaru twins (and maybe a roadster against the Miata?), and embiggened (but not too big) it would…

Again. I've been asking for this since 2008, when the G Series Falcon (which also underpins the Territory, IIRC) was introduced down under. This platform should have been both the Explorer and an MKT alternative. The Falcon itself, on the other hand, should have been a proper Taurus instead of the Fusion, and a…

I want one of these sooooo badly!

The only other vehicle I would have liked to see included in the comparison is the actual Toyota Hilux (Aussie spec for consistency?) for two primary reasons. First, I spent two of my three years in Afghanistan driving around in 5m 4x4 Hiluxes, both D4D and 2.7L I-4, so I'm comfortably familiar with them, and second,…

I'm sorry, but this has to be the biggest, most stupid, tin-foil hat conspiracy theory I've ever come across.

I know that Lexus was accused of dumping (primarily by BMW), but I didn't realize there was an actual court case where they were convicted of anything. In any respect, that basic business model is how (primarily) Toyota and Honda gained their respective footholds in the US auto market anyway, particularly with the…

The other difference in the Lexus vs MBZ "want the badge" phenomenon was that 1990 Lexus LS pricing was in the $35-45k range. The sticker on a 1990 420 SEL (somewhat larger but down 49 hp on the LS 400) was $62k. More importantly, by all accounts the LS was a competitive drive against the MBZ of the day. Maybe not…

Again, I've been yelling about this since 2008. http://hereshowiwoulddoit.blogspot.ca/2008/05/lincol…

Best GIF I've seen all week. You win today's episode of the internet!

My big question is: Does Subaru still hold the trademark for XT6?

In brown, with a low-profile shooting brake body cleverly disguised as a sedan.

As with Raph, I am totally in agreement with you. I'd like to see both Cadillac and Lincoln revert to their legacy names. Caddy has done a solid job of reviving themselves, and Lincoln appears to be starting to make similar efforts. Find the names that have a positive resonance (Eldorado, Seville, Continental, Mark #)…

Clean and mean, as it should be. I know the odds of me finding a GN in decent shape for decent money are slim, but if I could find a T-Type, oh man that would be awesome! Enjoy the hell out of that beast you have!

Thanks for the confirmation. Not sure what LT1's problem is, but no matter. Tasty GN you have there!
