I agree with everything you said except “It became famous, but only among gearheads.” 

I think the problem here is that you can’t actually market this thing to people who don’t know about cars. There’s no wool-pulling. It’s not like the Urus (I finally have an excuse to drive a Lambo!) or some heritage-laden tweedmobile (Careful with the Jag, darling).

Lots of car names became famous to normies for…

I love the G-wages but lolForever at seeing it on a muddy hill.

So the US is running away from protecting its ally who defeated IS for it, so fast that the US had to bomb US bases because they didn’t even have time to bring their ammunition with them, handing Russia and Iran control of Syria...

Fun aside. Swindon also supplies the engines for more than half of the British Touring Car field.

Considering I liked it enough to include it on one of the mix CDs I’d burn to listen to at work (wow, that preceding statement was just dripping with…

According to the msrp, you’re $100k off.
