What the makes like Jaguar need are a contemporary equivalent to NASCAR.

I want one.

Ah, the Le Car... now known as the Ex Car.

They sold 141,000 of them in eight model years. Eight. That's peanuts from a sales perspective.

Game, set, match.

I tend to experience both.

Luxury brand identities, huh? Okay, here we go:

So. Many. Vintage. Pickups.

"Mr. Loveland, are you all right!?"

I saw a clean 79 notchback the other day in absolutely beautiful condition. I suspect it was a very, very mild restomod as it had quite the exhaust growl and a little more brightwork than I seem to remember coming from the factory. I wanted to ask about it, but it's kind of hard to do that when driving at 60 mph.

I still miss seeing these at airshows

No, American Sting Ray.

What bugs me is when it devolves in the whole "RWD OR DIEz" thing, and then bash on Lincoln because they can't build what they simply don't have the resources to build.…

At the time Audi truly developed as a challenger for M-B and BMW, they did so by offering something unique and desirable that their competitors didn't - in this instance, the then still (somewhat) novel concept of FWD and later Quattro. They built the niche, they dominated it, and then they went after M-B and BMW. But…

Yeah, I have no idea why your comments aren't showing up - when I click into notifications, they show up, but otherwise they disappear. Maybe if I recommend them all they'll re-appear.

Yes, the Zeta platform is dead - but the reason that it dies was that it was originally a platform designed to underpin everything from low-level Chevrolets to high-end Cadillacs. The end result was a compromise of a platform that, while actually superbly competent, wound up being too expensive for use in lower-end…
