Like the last Malibu turned Classic? Lolololololols

Ford is going to import the Escort from China for the North American market because like, you know, Trump doesn’t object to foreign escorts...

That’s how long it takes for them to make the tools for a nameplate rebadge and call it engineering.

Ecosport Pony MPG, stripper model no back seats but still has rear doors, cardboard door panels and a big solid free floating black blank where the floating iPad screen would normally go.

It’s their new sport fastback hardtop coupe...

THE Edsel as if it was a single model but it was not. Edsel was a marque like Ford, Mercury and Lincoln with individual models Ranger, Pacer, Citation, Corsair, Bermuda and Villager. 

Old four headlamp sealed beam units light up all four lamps in high beam mode only. That became obsolete when aerodynamic composite headlamps were legalized in 1983. Some vehicles are built using dual hi/lo beam bulbs and others are built using separate hi/low beam bulbs. On the separate hi/lo beam designs the low

It's hilarious they used the K-car two door sedan rear clip to make this thing. 

Same chassis just a longer wheelbase behind the front doors.

That giant iPad look is really awful. It evokes the compulsion to take it down and put it away.

My Aunt’s 1976 yellow Mercury Bobcat she bought brand new.

It's no worse than what they are doing to crossovers and SUVs now...

The first generation Escape was sold as the Maverick in Europe. 

It does not look like a Triumph to me. A little more wedgy and it might resemble a TR7...

Iacocca could never get over his masturbatory fantasy of bringing the original T-bird roadster back. Unfortunately his answer was a portholed removable hardtop on what is barely discernable from a run of the mill LeBaron. No effort was made to make the exterior look distingushed.

Shoplifting is up because the price of stuff has increased over the decades. A pack of bulbs that used to be $2 is now $8 because of product markup greed for profit. What used to have 100% markup is now 500% markup.

Golf story huh? $28,000 (which was a lot then) 2007 GTI brand new after a short time the Ac compressor failed. Had to wait forever for one from Germany. Then the electric system went wcky. Things like power window switches that would operate intermittantly. The dash parts were cheaped out and rattley... Nice handling

First of all, I am shocked, shockedthat a high quality car like a Range Rover would require so many trips to the service department.”

Ecogator? 

So what if it does. If you don't want to use it you can just turn it off.
