This is a good answer. There are still so many out there and they’re all pretty old. I bet a lot of them are still with their original owners.

We went to get our daughter a CRV/Rav4 but instead drove away with one of these, which also happened to be built the same year she was born. On the test drive my wife asked “This is great, why are we driving new cars?”. 

Upper middle class and higher Northern Virginia Indian and Asian Americans bought these in droves when they were new and they are still driving them. Fits two grandparents in comfort and two kids in no comfort at all. Those kids have been crammed in Tata Indicas and Suzuki Swifts during trips to India though so they…

I hope that ad agency went under, what a stupid commercial. 

You have a quite valid point about the (relatively) smaller size making the MDX more tractable as a daily driver - I don’t daily the Suburban so the larger size is not a particular concern for me. In fact, when I am using the Suburban the size is usually the point of operating it. I just meant the Suburban carries…

Studebaker’s Hawk line from the 50's and 60's.

The 318 is to this day the worst car I’ve ever driven. It’s not just slow, it’s absurdly slow. It’s dangerously slow.

The Izuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard.

Extremely disappointed at the lack of slideshowness exhibited with this article.·

I feel that the Corvette in the article would’ve looked better with a different roofline instead of the fastback - a notchback or something like the Mustang’s…

That is a truly handsome 2+2. The 2 seater looks better, but if this is what the Corvette became, we wouldn’t have that point of reference.

Holy shit, I would wear that hat out of existence.

I don’t own this, but I wish I did. 

I am biased

Agreed, I daily drove Triumphs and MGs for years, but those years were long ago, fewer huge trucks and SUVs, no cel phones (most probably more drunk drivers).

I liked to describe my Mini as “all the safety of a motorcycle, with none of the power to get out of bad situations”
