4th) BFD. This news is no more significant that when Chrysler killed off the PT Cruiser. The current Beetle isn’t some special, iconic, unique car, its just a somewhat retro-looking body built on a totally conventional platform shared with a number of other ordinary cars. The actual Beetle, the one who’s cancellation…

The Southern Style Chicken Sandwich was the closest thing to Chick-fil-A not from Chick-fil-A, I especially appreciated it on Sundays when the real thing was unavailable.

Too bad he didn’t have a Cobb shifter.

“The rest of Bentley’s description of the concept sounds kind of like an ad for a scam natural remedy”

The downsized '78 models were a masterpiece of Bill Mitchell's Sheer Look design language. Trim and elegant while still preserving the traditional big car styling buyers were accustomed to. At one point in the late '70s, GM literally couldn't build enough Cutlass Supremes to meet demand, and there was almost zero…

Considering that the package doesn’t say “white chocolate”, “chocolate”, “chocolatey”, “chocolate-flavored” or “taste of chocolate”, but simply “white”, and considering that that the current packaging also looks like this (note the “enrobed in white creme” descriptor prominently featured) I don’t see how this will…

Came for this

I’ve heard that, but never put any stock in it. Pepsi is a sweeter and milder flavor than Coke Classic, and was soundly outselling Coca-Cola at retail and outperforming Coca-Cola in taste tests, which was the whole reason for the new formula in the first place. If people hated sweeter beverages after the first few…

What about Allegiant? 

It wasn’t exactly shitty. IIRC, New Coke pretty much destroyed Coca-Cola Classic in blind taste tests. The trouble was it tasted more like Pepsi than Coke, and loyal Coke drinkers were loyal Coke drinkers because they preferred the taste of Coke over Pepsi.

*cruise ship, Costa hasn't had an ocean liner in their fleet since 2001.

Np, especially since you could probably get it for $2k. If it was local to me, I'd pick it up after work.

Or Pointer Brand. I mean, I like seeing a business like that succeed, but, man, the hipsters have really had their way with it.

Not really, the best sales year was about 13,500 units, and it was well under 10k a year for most of its run.

I assume it's from Gulliver's Travels. 

We've always known exactly what Camry means, it’s an English transliteration of the Japanese word for “crown” (kanmuri).

Agreed, many people buy luxury trucks as costumes, having a blue collar badge on the grille is what they're after. 

Its like the BOF truck equivalent of the final Taurus. 

This is just gorgeous in a way few modern supercars have been in ages. Usually, you get either gaudy over the top ostentation OR totally rational form following function that, while not unattractive, comes off as a bit sterile. This is neither of those, it's just plain beautiful. Not overdone, not too restrained,…

Its disappointing, but I don’t believe I’ve bought a copy since middle school, 20+ years ago. So, I’m part of the problem and can’t really second guess DC’s business decision.
