*Tata Motors Zoom Board Meeting*:

Modern takes on the classic steel wheel. I am a sucker for the look, but with the steely look, you often have more sidewall. More sidewall is always a plus.

Seriously - he is writing this like he just drove a ‘78 Lincoln Town Car through the streets of Mumbai. I live in NYC and drive a ‘14 Explorer - nearly the same dimensions as the Telluride - and I have 0 issues whatsoever.

GLC AMG 43s could be right up your alley. Muscular SUV, powerful, not a sedan, extremely attractive. Newer years could be a stretch, but a year or older could be had in the high $50K range.

I was too traumatized and scarred to utter Large Marge’s name.

Cabazon dinosaurs, hands down.

On the topic of car letters, I will never understand why Toyota named their performance/racing division “TRD.” Toyota Racing Sector, Toyota Racing Group - anything that would not be a short hand for turd.

The M4S Interceptor from The Wraith.

It’s basic, but a midsize grand touring SUV like the Aviator. Not a sport-tuned/performance-spec SUV, but a comfortably equipped highway mile-eating machine.

Cord Automobile. Innovations were introduced by Cord that did not appear in production vehicles for nearly 30 years after they were rolled out.

When it comes to interior design, it is hard to beat Scandinavian minimalism.

The 787 Interchange is the ultimate crucible.

For HD, I think the long-term concern is fighting a war on two fronts: a dwindling customer base and Indian.

The ‘94 Mustang. The first redesign after the 3rd gen Fox body era. The single mustang emblem on the grill, fender skirts, ducts and scoops, just looked so custom and beautiful to anything that was out at the time, save for the 1st Gen Viper.

Manufacturers need to stop the escalating horsepower and sporty/track-focused wars for any vehicle that is not a purposely built for the track.

I love how on the XTS and other Cadillacs the head unit on the CUE system opens and can be used for hidden storage.

“Let he who is without the air dam shipping cover mock the loss of Hellcat control.”

Disappointed in ‘96? Oh, I think you would be just fine:

Respectfully disagree. I am in my late 30s, bought my '55 in my late 20s. Buyer demographics may change, but clean classic lines will always be in style.

Right? That and “Plow King” are serious omissions from the list.
