Since neither of them is likely to be well capitalized (boutique sports car makers rarely are), the last thing they need is to spend money on a legal dispute with each other.

I don’t know that I could stick with one car for that long, even with cars I really like, I tend to get bored after a while and want to try something different. Certainly, I don’t think there’s much currently in production that would do it for me.

That is true, this lived more like a normal car with normal, moderately attentive owners, you’d expect something with a crazily meticulous owner to last a long time. 

And at least one Crown Vic.

Supposedly, Toyota wasn’t interested. They did buy the 1 million mile Tundra for a PR opportunity, but that was driven by a single owner and meticulously maintained. I think this one is in too rough a condition and has been through too many owners for them to get involved. 

The size comparison is thrown off by basically every Ranger being a crew cab. The typical one is still almost 2 feet shorter than a crew cab/short box GMT800.

My memories of those old Power Wheels Jeeps was that driving them on grass burned out the motor, and driving them on asphalt wore through the plastic wheels, which didn’t leave a whole lot of choices. 

And we thought the conspiracy theories around the US lunar landings were nuts. Grab the popcorn now, because a whole lot of crazies are going to come out of the woodwork over this one. 

These didn't sell in huge numbers anywhere. It was a solid step up from a bubble car, but Lloyd was a pretty small company.

This all makes sense to me. 

Short answer, 6.0+

There’s also a real whatever the hell this thing is.

Try ‘00s.

A couple this site popularized:

Nah, I use a piece of plywood for that.

That was purely stylistic, to suggest the separate fenders on ‘30s Cords. The steel on those Toronados was thick enough to clog dance on hood without leaving a mark.

My bet is a crossover of some sort, maybe called the Livigno, maybe based on an FCA US platform.

Probably. I mean, you can argue whatever you think you can get away with. 

It really did look much cleaner and more upscale than the equivalent Mustang. Not huge sheet metal changes, but just enough to make a big difference. 

Having driven around and through the DC area over the weekend, I have to say making right turns from the left or center lane, especially if it doesn’t involve a turn signal or at least a cursory check of the mirror.
