Paging Mr. Ward, Mr. Jonathan Ward. Your derelict project is ready for pick up.

My wife had one of these and it was a great car. I called it the Tardis because it’s boxy shape let you pack it from floor to ceiling without any wasted space. It may not have been an off-roader, but I was always amazed how well it handled the snow in a hilly city in New England. The Gen 3 CR-V looked like a frumpy

Alphanumerics work when the brand is the selling point (see BMW, MB, Lexus, etc.). But to anyone who was alive in the 90s, concepts like quality, performance, and reliability aren’t exactly what spring to mind when you hear Kia. You probably think of something more like this:

Isn’t picking the best looking ‘70s hatchback like picking the sexiest Supreme Court justice? Sure, Sotomayor would be the most generous lover and I guess you could call Gorsuch handsome (if you’re into grandpas), but that doesn’t mean you’d want to want to ride any of them. 

A&W Root Beer stands, definitely. Sometimes I would even get the glass mug home before breaking it.

Boston’s Big Dig completely transformed the city by tearing down the elevated central artery that strangled the life out of downtown. It was replaced with the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a 17-acre string of parks linking different neighborhoods of the city that were completely cut off before.

I was going to say that the easy answer was a Honda S2000. How can you beat that high-revving engine and slick 6-speed manual combined with Honda reliability? But then I checked the price...

The Model S is a stunner that makes my underpants a bit crowded, but if Elon is trying to bring sexy back he is going on the wrong direction. He gave the 3 a botched face lift, the X a potbelly, and couldn't decide with the Y so he went with both.

Clarkson’s annual August tweet is much more uplifting than his motivational message in March: "Get me a steak or I will punch you in the face."

My dad got one after I got my license and stole his Accord. It was great; roomy inside, quick handling, and a 5-speed stick. Then the transmission turned to gravel after 3 years and the interior trim proved to have the same build quality as Little Tikes Cozy Coupe

Is it just me, or does Diess bear a striking resemblance to Bashar al Assad?

Is it just me, or does Diess bear a striking resemblance to Bashar al Assad? We’ll know for sure when VW announces that the new Jetta will go from Damascus to Beirut on a single barrel of chlorine.

It’s revolutionary “midgate” took the nation by storm!

How can you forget about the technological tour de force that was the Chevy Avalanche?

Sadly it’s not a question of if you are going to crash your first car, but when. That’s why I’m getting my daughter a Rover James in a few years.

The answer is of course to bask in cool embrace of the pillar-less windows of a Mercedes 560 SEC.

Not sure the off-road market is really in Honda’s wheelhouse...

My Acura TL with a 6-speed is my favorite modern Accord, and Collins wouldn’t argue with me.

Is it just me or did Honda forget to bring the finished prototype to the photo shoot?

But you forgot to factor in the steep discounts available out there due to the sedanpocalypse. A V6 Honda accord currently falls well within the budget...
