The ‘83 LTD Crown Vic that almost gets air in Sabotage?

Well, traditional linoleum flooring is kind of back in, for people looking for midcentury modern authenticity, or just eco friendly materials.

 They tried to, the Chinese government vetoed the deal. GM has been pretty meticulous about protecting the trademark ever since, they've got several current registrations covering hundreds of uses. 

HUMMER died because they kind of back themselves into a corner as a maker of expensive, oversized SUVs with heavy military cosmetic theming, and those sorts of vehicles became very difficult to sell when the recession hit in 2008, and GM was too slow to act in extending it downmarket into smaller and more economical…

Lincoln MKX? It’s a Ford Edge in a fancy costume, shouldn’t be that terrible on maintenance.

First car at 16 was a 1971 Super Beetle, second car at 17 was a 1991 Volvo 940 Turbo - I felt bad driving the old Volkswagen every day in the winter salt, plus the heat was not great at low speeds.

133.7 in

It doesn’t stop the car from turning on, moving, and being refueled, does it? Or from turning back on after its shut off? 

Im ordinary height, about 5 11, and fit fine with headroom to spare in a classic Mini with a low roofline, but the seating position isn't bolt upright like a high back kitchen stool. 

Why do small cars have to have such high rooflines these days? Very few people wear hats now.

Likely a 100 percent failure rate on an $1800 part that renders the car totally inoperable after as little as 4 years? I don’t know of any other automaker with a defect that egregious in this day and age.

Wow, this is one of the rare cases where I really do agree with this sort of comparison, the similarities are uncanny. Though, I think the Kia actually looks more elegant and premium. 

Remember when BMW bought an entire automaker specifically so they could sell smaller, more fuel efficient, FWD cars without diluting the BMW brand? 

Apparently, they grabbed the trademark after it was allowed to lapse. Wonder how close to the original formula theyve gotten.

And they're both owned by the same company now, and since Oreo is the stronger/better known brand, Hydrox is kept off the market outside of limited promotions. Same thing that happened to Frusen Gladje (rip). 

I would think all GM would have to do to lure Mustang owners is put a big sign in the windshields of all Camaros saying “Camaro: the Paint Doesn’t Bubble and Peel Off After 3 Years!”

And an interesting skyscraper, too.

It doesn't sound very cheap, tbh. 

Headlights had to be a certain height above the ground and had to be fixed in place, with no covering over them while in operation. A product of someone in Washington in 1940 deciding that headlights had now attained perfection and would never get any better, combined with more people in Washington in 1968 deciding…

I still remember GM CEO Dan Akerson’s comments about the XTS when it first launched - “it won’t blow the doors off the competition, but it will be competitive”.
