Good for them. If I was looking for a new pickup right now it would probably be the 1500 ecodiesel. But, the pain-pain-in-the-assery of getting it overseas prohibits that for the time being.

It is a good sum up. SOCOM also got 7 to replace their CASAs.

Seriously, I cannot believe the shenanigans that happened with the C-27. This blog post has a funny comparo...

I am looking forward to the comparo of this VS the future BMW X1M. Becauseridiculouslittlesuvs

I hope to hell they are developing the improbability drive. Faster than the bad news drive for sure.

Glad one will live on with NASA.

Yeah it is, I have a few friends who drive up a few times a year from around there. They live 30min from Amberg.

Not a bad way to go. I'll be here for a couple more years, offer stands till they throw outta this country.

Yep, myself and four passengers. Sub-9 min BTG

Can't help but think of Ferris Bueller...."If you have the means it is so choice"

Come to Germany! I'll take you to the Nurburgring, Ring Taxi style. The one that completes the lap not the crashy one.

I had a Freelander. I had the privilege of driving it for approximately 8 months out of the two years I owned it. Thank my lucky stars for the warranty.

Bollocks! I don't care what you say, I'm driving on borrowed miles! I have no doubt that in about 10k miles my car is spontaneously going to combust. I only hope it does it at 180mph in a glorious explosion worthy of a mention in the same breath of such failures as Stuttgart and Maranello.

I'll bet these were really hard to......track?

I haven't kept up on VAG news, but maybe they're thinking of a Jetta R too? Crazy to think I know.

If it comes with a manual trans this is replacing my X1 35i tomorrow.

Second, does it have proper restraints for a Cougar?

I am dreading the day I have to return to the states. I love the U.S. don't get me wrong, but only being able to really wring out any of my cars on a track day is an insult to the brilliant engineers who designed them.

I thought about that, but honestly I'd rather get the power boost too :)

Haha, not yet. Still shopping for that one.
