I know someone that has a 98 xj two door with the manual an in the awesome teal they painted them in.  He's never going to give it up.

Thanks! It’s a 5 speed manual, 4x4 as well, with the the 4.0L and a short bed.

This is a very appropriately timed article. I am in the process of putting my clean 88 Jeep Comanche on Bring a Trailer.

I follow your logic.  My parents have had two different e38 740iLs over the past 17 years.  They will probably own a third someday.  Very few cars come close in solid feel, comfort, sportiness, and style.

It is a good design, but if we are talking peak Bmw in that period, I'm voting for the e38 in long wheelbase form.  Long sleek, low, understated, aggressive.  Couldn't get classier.

I still find it funny how much power people think they need to drive on an American highway.  I have many times driven a 56hp Austin Healey Sprite on the highway and it is more than adequate to get to speed and pass people at 70+ mph.  It is as aerodynamic as a brick but really it has no issues.  The only vehicle I've…

Maybe where you are but here in Erie, PA Suzuki cars were were quite popular. We had the number one volume Suzuki dealer in the US for the last few years they sold them here.  The SX4 was the perfect for the local market, cheap and awd. The awd Kasashi was popular too.  You still see a reasonable number of Sx4s and…

Best riding truck I’ve ever had the pleasure to drive. Tow rating of 2000lbs. I appreciate the ride and don’t own a trailer large enough to need to tow that much, like most truck owners.

I do love the Comanche.  It is actually the correct sized truck.

I was in Milan, Italy recently, the original Panda was the one older car that was plentiful on the road there.  Now I know why.  I just assumed it was because it was cheap and they made tons of them, I didn't realize they were so wonderful.  Now I want one.

I agree, modern passenger car radial tires are the single biggest improvement I made to my Austin Healey Sprite. They have improved ride, grip, and efficiency.  Oh, they are also cheap!  I can get tires for it for $23 as opposed to $70 for the vintage tires each.

This further makes me appreciate my Comanche.

You are making me yearn for the Opel Mokka I drove in France.  Sure it's the same chassis as a Chevy Trax, but the drive train was so much better than anything offered in the states.  A 1.6 L turbo diesel and a six speed manual.  It made all sorts of power and gobs of torque over a very short Rev range, 1500 to 4000…

The previous dealer in my area still services them, I'm sure they'd like to get back on board.  They were the number one selling Suzuki dealer several years running. Sx4s sold like hot cakes here.

How is the renegade not a hot seller. It sure seems like number two behind the Wrangler where I live.  They are everywhere.   

Autocross everything!

A group of us flew put to LA and drove home. The goal was to buy two cars and flip them when home but we only ended up with the Comanche and rented a Yukon XL. It was a brilliant drive thru Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. No A/C, no cruise control, just a Jeep truck driving through the beautiful country, it was amazing.…

The pictured above is actually mine, bought it in Los Angeles and drove it home to Erie, PA. It’s hard to find rust free ones. Was a fun trip driving it, 4.0L with a 5 speed manual and 4 wheel drive transfer case. The pics are at the Pisca Lava Tubes in the California desert.

Comanche gets my vote all day.  Perfect boxy styling.  Best in short bed with graphics.

Sort of the new Suzuki Jimny,  this is the only car I've seen at an autocross in the last 5 years that gets me really excited to the point that I want one.  I really liked the beige IDx concept.
