Many are ugly, many are awesome looking gas killercow pointed out.  What all hatch back vehicles do have in common though is aerodynamics that plaster the rear windowin dirt that make it miserable to live with in the winter.

The manual x5 has alway been on my radar.  I like the very first x5s as they have a lot of styling cues from the e38 and e39.  I can imagine the six cylinder is a fun engine to row around the gears in one of those x5s as well.

This is what I’ve always wanted, a small two door pickup with a manual, and one based off the wrangler is even better as it will look good and not like some cyborg alien like all new cars.

I wish I could be there, but I’m in Pennsylvania.

Good!  New car smell is one of the reasons I don't like new cars.  It smells terrible, like a department store.  I would rather buy a 10 year old car so that I don't have to smell new car smells.

E36 M3, I'd prefer it not be a LTW, I like creature comforts

Legitimately, I would buy a Jeep pickup but not a Wrangler. Especially if it is offered in a shorter wheelbase single cab. Mainly because it will be a small useful truck offered with a manual transmission.

That is a super annoying chime.  I was quite annoyed by it when I rented a Ford recently.

Yep yep.  I put 2000 miles per driving season on my Austin Healey Sprite,  it runs way better because of it.  Definitely because I pay attention to it and notice when things aren't running quite right.

I completely support the message of this article.  I started to frequently drive my 62 Austin Healey Sprite that my grandfather gave me three years ago.  It ran like garbage when I got it, he hadn't driven it in 7 years.  I slowly tuned things and kept driving it.  At this point it drives perfectly, and is super…

My parents sold their 97 Grand Cherokee Limited last year that they purchased new. It had 98,000 miles on it and the interior was show room mint. The exterior looked good but the underside was rusty.... 3 sets of rocker panels, lots of frame repairs just due to it being in the snowbelt all its life. We loved it and…

Its also from southern California, there’s virtually no rust.  My friends and I drove it from LA to Pennsylvania.  Was a brilliant trip and it did the 3500 miles very well.   It was an awesome and surprisingly comfortable way to see the USA.

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.
