When I saw this car in Opel trim, I was pretty sure it would be my next car. Needless to say I was disappointed when they slapped all the gray plastic on it for sale here. I still kinda want one though.

I’d like to die doing something I love when I’m like 90, though. If I’m in good health I’d like to get as much grandpa time as possible.

If this was in the UK (where I live) it would be NP, however it is in the US and the thought of driving something as small as a Beat when every other vehicle on the road is an F150 (or similar) sounds positively terrifying at any price.

It’s a Go-Go to me, NP.

Maybe because they expect their constitutional rights would be upheld.

This isn’t even relevant. That is a different country who is our enemy at the moment. This sounds like it was written in North Korea by the dictator himself. There is no connection whatsoever. If you’re going to criticize the White House, go ahead because you won’t lack material, but please don’t write junk like this…

It’s not from Europe, but they did sell them there. You want style, class, and performance from a 90's coupe? Also a decent interior? FD RX7 is the car for you. Here is an unmolested example:

I drive a Golf Sportwagen, the M3 stays home unless I actually plan to drive, it makes no sense to take my M3 to the grocery store.

I question the premise; we don’t need another performance truck. We don’t need ANY performance truck. Some percentage of trucks are work trucks, and that’s why the class exists, but the majority of trucks that are sold in this country are mall crawlers and grocery getters. They are far worse than the crossovers that…

The difference is, the cars of the 50s were used in the correct way.

It does beg the question, though;

I am going to go out on a limb and say it is easier when you have mechanical engineers building a car vs the dropouts from Apple that think every piece of the car should be integrated and not removable except at a Tesla Service center.

I don’t buy it, you are just trying to keep if for yourself. We’re on to you.

What problem does it actually solve to begin with?

Build quality on this looks almost better than what Chevy produced from the factory.

Build quality on this looks almost better than what Chevy produced from the factory. That said, give the folks in Detroit some credit: they probably did a market survey and determined that this guy was literally the ONLY person in 1979 who would pay actual money for a wagon version, and it never got built. CP, because…

maybe instead he should accept he will never “go off-roading” and that the illusion of adventure offered by SUVs is exactly how car makers convince sad, pathetic people to buy their wallowy oversized boring hatchbacks.

you want adventure? get a back pack and a plane ticket. you want to wallow around in an oversized…

Subaru STI with a wing delete? Depends on how much fun you want to have.

Nah, Torch had it right in the previous article. You want a steam powered Land Rover. Everyone wants a steam powered Land Rover, you just didn’t know it until you saw it.

This is an awful lot like training an elephant to dance the ballet. As it pirouettes and jetes around the stage you are flabbergasted by its elephantine grace and the ponderous way it sails through the air. Never mind that it is an elephant. It is dancing.
