Get with the times, Mr. George.  Hating things that are inherently good is all the rage.

What’s great about this is that it very effectively demonstrates the limitations of LRO’s imaging. It shows that while our remote sensing technology is very good, by 400 ft elevation even 60s-era film footage surpasses it in detail....because we went there. I look forward to seeing a human presence on the moon and…

That color!

It’s a ‘17 7-speed DCT. That engine differs slightly from the other 1.6ts. Perhaps the programming on the cars with the smaller turbo is more refined.  

As a Veloster Turbo DCT owner I can’t believe all of the praise the DCT is receiving in the comments here. Compared to modern torque converter automatic it’s absolutely terrible. All I saw was parallels when reading the article. From the bad behavior to the false denial by their PR/legal department - same thing we…

Is there a bigger, perhaps fullscreen, version of this somewhere?

It will be mixed right in with all the rest of the CPO TLXs and no one will notice.

Fuck you, Ford.

The V6 Accord is intriguing, but what about the butt?  I can’t stomach it.  

If it’s an SMT, and if it has the LSD then you have the rarest version of the MR2 Spyder in the US (Japan had a “final version”, other countries had limited editions as well). Depending on the condition, pricing it at a significant premium would be perfectly reasonable on your part. Whereabouts are you located?

I owned one for a time (I had to pull that pic off the web). Alas, an elderly driver with a poor sense of judgement took it from me. Years later I’m still sad. That color combination was exceedingly rare. Odds of finding one are slim. Good luck.

Phantom gray MR2 Spyder with red top, friends. Though tan tops are for the loafer and khaki crowd. GTFO with your other choices.

Also, beware of the garbage they paint on windows. Bought a car new off the lot and they took it back to wash after the deal was done. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed that in their efforts to wash the paint off the windows, they scratched swirls into my windshield. Hyundai has bad quality glass, but still.

Van timing is code for homelessness.  Just sayin’.

This catches a really interesting time - this is the end of the boxy car era. The Ford Taurus and Mercury Topaz kind of got us started and, to a kid of the 80s like me they looked like space ships. And even though they had been out for a few years, the roadways are still clearly full of boxy cars.

It would raise the price of the vehicle $750, and no one but NO ONE will pay that, right? It’s self-destructive business school 101. Get with the program, man.  What, you think corporations are here to run a business AND keep our country prosperous?  Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Sure.  I just hope they can charge $47K for it, so rather than most of us thinking the price is ridiculous,  ALL of us can.  

Engine notes! Alan Decadenet used to do a TV show that did a pretty good job letting viewers experience what many classic vehicles sounded like.  Done right (a challenge on a budget) it would be cool.

That last picture is very:

...but then you might have to actually attempt to go through the process of buying a Mazda. I gave it a try recently and as Tom McPartland’s recent article confirmed, it’s something I would only wish upon my worst enemies.
