The Jaguar XJ220:

Ventilated/cooled seats. And more power.

Non touchscreen controls. And a real spare wheel, I don’t trust the emergency gunk or a space saver.

When I was a kid, my dream job was to sell exotic cars. When I was about 20 I spent a summer selling cars at a multi-brand dealership with some higher end offerings, but still nothing you’d call exotic.

For me it wouldn’t be the penny-pinching, it’d be the perfectionism.

... and not good Batmobile vibes. Like, Schumacher Batmobile vibes.

Tim Burton is scrambling to find his credit card to put down a deposit right now.

Looking forward to the Night King Edition.

Absolutely the First Gen Viper. The Epitome of a factory “Hot Rod”

I’d have bought a Type R (despite the styling) if I could’ve had one at MSRP a couple years ago. Ended up with a 1300 mile manual SS sedan instead (garage queen no longer). No regrets!

I think 95% of people that complain about Priuseses have never driven one. It’s a quiet and comfortable daily driver that’s also very efficient. I don’t want one as my daily (and I don’t drive enough to take advantage of it) but for 99% of drivers out there with a 10k+ mile/yr commute it’s the perfect car.

I get silos, but I don’t get people who think that their silos are islands of safety in the corporate sea. And again, It’s not that Fiat/Alfa wasn’t pulling from other larger units in the company. The Tonale as it exists is highly dependant on parts and engineering from other brands.

I don’t get the internal strife. You work for a large auto manufacturing concern. It’s not like Alfa created the Tonale without using Stellantis support. Engineering, parts, money, manufacturing... What percentage of the tonale is Stellantis corporate? More than a little. I get that Alfa needed a win, but Dodge needed…

Yeah, those idiots and their preferences.

Any subcompact CUV. Automakers realized that they could add a couple inches of headroom on to a normal hatchback, jack up the price by $5k and Americans would eat that shit up. Fat boomers who wouldn’t be caught dead in a subcompact hatchback are suddenly throwing money at whatever POS slightly taller subcompact CUV…

Screw it, I’m not engaging in the Two Minutes Hate today.

Mazda MX-30, because who wouldn’t be excited to pay $38,000 for a slow crossover with no space, no AWD, and 70 miles of range?

Huge pickups that will never have anything in the bed. The dudes who buy these are insecure people who are overcompensating by trying to buy their perception of masculinity. Why does it bother me? Because they also drive like 14-year-old bullies who were thrown a set of keys by their drunk old-man. But hey, maybe they…

I used to like those. I’m a big fan of funky looking cars. Bought one in early ‘21, before things really got crazy. It took corners fairly well, but everything else was just blah. It also had more rattles than my wife’s ‘08 Slorolla. It got to the point that the only thing I liked about it was looking at it. If it had…
