Just came upon this story and accompanying renderings & wanted to say I got a kick out of them--the TC is the perfect basis for a comedic reboot like this, and I love the obvious amount of effort that went into the renderings. Please send me one of those Maserati-with-Chrysler-wings badges, and keep up the good work! ... View more

VW may not be my favorite brand, but a garage consisting of this and a W-12 Phaeton would have my attention... ... View more

That Crossfire you mention is an interesting one--people love to make fun of it for its Mercedes SLK underpinnings (seems like you could do worse...) and its SLK interior (Ok they're probably right about that one :), but Gawd it is a neat thing to look at. I get that the style may not be for everyone, but it is one of those cars that reminds you that for a decade or so Chrysler's design team had so much leash they were basically building concept cars. If you want something that turns heads & is probably pretty fun to drive (sadly I haven't gotten to try one), that seems like a good affordable add to this list. ... View more

I agree that this first-gen CTS-V could be an interesting one to buy low now and see what its value does in the next few years.  Not saying it's going to skyrocket, but I feel like this was a special car in Caddy's history--one of the first that helped them really turn the page from Fleetwoods & Devilles to the CTS-V wagons & Blackwings that would follow.  Aside from upkeep I don't think you're going to lose money buying it now, enjoying it, & selling it in 5 years. ...

I recently bought a '94 in amazingly good shape and it's like your describing with every option, including a Ford corded carphone in the console--I didn't even know that had been an option! ... View more

Someday before I die I really want to see a supercharged XR-7 with the five speed. I hear they built a few of them. Very few. ... View more

Oooo I love the SC but it's hard to go wrong with that Legend coupe--I bet it's still running today with 400k miles on it 🙂 ... View more

Thanks for a neat write-up of an early example of this generation. I've got a '94 SC and while I love the updated interior and the factory LED taillights, I have to concede that the original SC front end was special in a way that the same-for-all-models '94 front bumper can't quite match. ...
