What in the world... When and where was that top image taken, and what was it from? I need to know more about that.

FACT: You can’t steer a car without a steering wheel.

My favorite ads were always from the ad campaign created by DDB in 1959. These were my two favorites. The body copy on these is genius.

It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, as long as you know where you’re going.©

But, will it off-road? Is it big enough to finagle an old CJ platform underneath it? Kind of make your own mini The Excellent like on the Grand Tour?

THANK YOU. For the life of me, I couldn’t remember the actual name and struck out on the Google machine.

Well, he probably shouldn’t have bought a Subearu, then.

The bit he did after this where he wore his Driver Fear Indicator (or whatever he called it, I can’t find the clip anywhere) that was just a diaper with wires strapped all over it that measured a driver’s terror in a range from small pucker to full-on soilage was very fun. It was silly and delightful.

Oh, it definitely doesn’t to me. I would absolutely buy one of these if I had the money. But a lot of people look at that price tag and start to compare it to larger vehicles they can buy for the same price.

All engines are connected to an eight-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, and as fun as a manual would be on either of these motors we all know they’re on the way out...

Hi, Aston, thank you... Yeah, I would like to order a new Vanquish... Yep, I would like my Vanquish equipped with a three-speed on the column, please... No, I think we call that a three-on-the-tree in the States... Mmmhhmmmm.... Yes.... Mhhmmm... No, but I can throw in a couple of 4x4 Dodge Rams from ‘05 with a

Somebody got Kinja’d HARD.

Somehow, that suddenly made it look like a Fisker Karma. 

I don’t think an auto, 4-door Accord would compete against sports cars. But, this particular configuration of Accord was different. If anyone had test driven one back then, I think they would have been cross-shopping with these models, especially if they lived anywhere with harsh winters. The engine and transmission

You’re right, even that list seemed like a stretch. It was pretty much alone in the market. The features that I based that list on were engine size, number of doors, and level of comfort. Once you factor in the price of a new Accord V6 6MT, that list gets Thanos’d down to like, just the Infiniti and the Hyundai.

Not sure what compelled the citation of the V8 Chevy SS or Scat Pack Dodge as rivals, but otherwise, this is a good take on a good car.

The Defender 130. This variant will be a five-door, eight-seat passenger vehicle that is 201 inches. Previously, the Defender 130 was sold only as a double-cab pickup.

And look at that. Full light-up fucking kidney grille. Disgusting.

The Hellcat also wins in the battle of cars that didn’t really need go-fast stripes, but hey, let’s put them on anyway because that’ll make it special again.
