You mean series like Down On the Street, Down on the Junkyard, regular 24 Hours of LeMons coverage, and ‘70s/’80s classic ads?

Or put a hitch on the Crown Vic and home build a plywood camping trailer.

Its a website who’s name is a portmanteau of “jalopy” and “beatnik”, vehicles like this have been part of its ontology from the beginning. 

They prefer to modify box body Caprices. 

Wait, automakers care whether their products are ugly? I thought that attitude died years ago. 

What, you mean it isn’t always a great time to buy/great time to sell? How could every realtor I’ve ever spoken with in my life all be lying?

Is it really a bad situation to have to hold onto your existing vehicle until the loan is paid off, or even a few years after, though? 

Which is why people think it's a super good idea to finance a $70,000 farm/construction vehicle over 84 months and use it for their daily office commute and suburban grocery shopping. 

Something about a dull, generic body wrapped around a ‘00s DaimlerChrysler interior seems to be off-putting to prospective Jaguar buyers.

I still think MG would be the smartest Chinese brand to try to bring to the US first, particularly since they have several crossovers and no products that are even the least bit interesting, exactly what US consumers want.

Neutral: I've said it before, but the 20th Century Motors "The Dale" story with Liz Carmichael would make a good movie.

BA might have turned an operating profit, but Airbus lost a ton on service and support, which is what really killed it. Virgin Atlantic was totally serious about wanting to take over the Concorde fleet, but Airbus informed them that they had no interest in continuing the business relationship.

It waned due to packaging benefits of V6s, and their ability to, in some cases, share tooling with related V8s. But, with the industry going to I4s for almost everything, the ability to share costs and tooling with a straight six makes them worth another look.

I wish car interiors still looked like this

Buick sold over 1 million cars last year, Pontiac never hit that, and the only time they came close was over 40 years before the brand was dropped.

But people aren’t buying comfort either. Most of the smaller crossovers (Escape, Equinox) ride pretty terrible on less than smooth pavement and have hard overly hard seats.
