beat me to it...

I would prefer something more modern and alphanumeric, like D4. Then the top model would read "D4RT"

I do the same thing in Cleveland, although Cleve hasn't fallen nearly as far.

Agreed...the Dart was an entry-level economy car back in the 60's/70's, cross-shopped with the Falcon/Chevy II/Rambler American(where available). They only got to be muscle cars because everything got to be a muscle car by the end of the 60's.

I think all the gears help with MPG at multiple driving speeds. Not sure how the added weight and complexity counteract that, though.

I remember that article. I remember laughing out loud when I saw this was released.

I thought the same thing. We have a 4A and 5M, with a 3A on jack stands in the garage.

don't even need to click the link...a HC for you for the reference.

Torques!

They are definitely popular, especially in the aftermarket. Just as a (very unscientific) sample, though, I'm noting first year Neon production numbers vs 1st year 240SX (highest for each) production Production/sales numbers. Of course this is a pretty subjective way to measure it and there are quite a few other…

That's a fair observation, but they need people to buy the car to make money off it. This was illustrated to me after a conversation with a family friend last weekend - she's been waiting for something desireable to come out so that she can replace her 2000 Celica GT-S. I told her about the Scion GT-S, but when she…

That's the first one I thought of, too. Awesome commercial, and communicates that character of that car.

Mazda6 is a fine choice, and can be found with both a stick and a V-6. Not to mention the first-gen was also available as a hatchback & wagon.

We had a '67 Econoline 'station bus' as a family car for a brief time in the late 80's. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It had the sliding side door, with a stamped metal step that would swing out to ease access whenever the door slid open. My dad finally sold it after a few years for $150 to a friend, who…

Just guessing, but perhaps with all the shared falcon parts, this would be compatible with a Mustang disc brake upgrade?

Honestly - anything AMC. Also have a soft spot for 70's Caddys. Neither of these were remotely cool until they became vintage fairly recently.

My dad had one of these, an 84 I think, around 1992. He loved it. When our Country Squire wagon rusted to the point where it was no longer safe to drive, the whole family would pile in and head to Best Western Sunday brunch after church. Nothing like piling 7 people into that car.

What a rat fink this guy was...

Had to vote CP...just can't get into the Bronco II. It appears to be in solid shape for the most part, and the red interior is pretty period-correct, so that doesn't bother me. Bottom line, IMHO, is that the Bronco II wasn't especially great to begin with (handling/packaging, etc). I am a fan of the cool side/back…
