So you’re telling me this isn’t a Peugout 308?

People hold them with a lot of reverence partly as they were together for so long. I’ve been watching Clarkson on Top Gear (the dry old version) since the late 80s. It’s always going to be hard to rival that.

It was a scripted show with some adlibs.

They will bleed that series on the farm dry. They will go through all possible animals to farm and the audience will have to pretend it’s not all irrelevant as Clarkson is worth $75m+. Amazon are paying him so much money for each series he could set fire to the farm annually and rebuild it and he’d come out in profit.

Comfortable for me is seat, suspension and interior noise. A quiet car when just commuting is nice.

Japan is begging for a series to be made (TV or YouTube) for car caves, barn finds etc. People who made a total fortune in the 80s put garages together with 50 of the best cars anywhere. Own the building, wrapped them all in plastic in climate controlled rooms and walked away. The barn finds won’t be dirty, there…

If you dip a toe into a used car - a previous gen Civic Type R for 40k seems a better deal. c.25k miles on them.

Make a rugged off road vehicle with minimal bells and whistles so you can do notable mad shit in Mongolia.

The owner lost touch with financial reality for normal people about 20 years ago.

It is exceptionally hard. Exceptionally. That’s why Rivian’s software team are so sought after and VW just deposited $5b in their account.

I have to think that will change, but I might be assuming people don’t actually like being in lumps of debt. When a car gets say 25mpg it’s still $5.50 or so per gallon where I am. You’d think people would want to be in a Corolla Hybrid if they don’t care about cars. Why get a BMW 4 series costing $750 a month to…

True. Slap it on the Mastercard and hope for better days.

Maybe a better question would be “what’s the worst car each brand has made”?

Tercel.

Ask for the manager?

Just buy a Polestar 2.

They do though, Jim Farley said a week or two ago he wants Ford to make small cars but people need to accept that’s the car they need.

So they just traced a Polestar 2?
