An area where Ford can really make an impact is in the reliability score. As noted below, the Toyota is bullet proof and Jeeps are notoriously maintenance nightmares. The fact that people tolerate the poor daily driver performance and horrible reliability, tells you there's an open wallet waiting. If Ford can approach the reliability of Toyota with the performance and adaptability of the Jeep, they've got a winner. ... View more

AMC, like Studebaker for before, zigged when the Big 3 zagged. I love their designs and innovation and feel many(not all) of their cars have aged well. The world misses having a scrappy underdog in the automobile industry, unless you're shopping in the Super Car aisle ... View more

As a greying enthusiast, yet too young(54) to really experience Studebaker, I am constantly left wondering what might have been. Their designs, innovation and basic look are so attractive. I would love to have a current option that offered similar design metrics, with a price that was viable for the average consumer. ... View more

this seems like a collection of black hole projects, most of which have little hope of recouping their costs. Not that finances are the only reason to take on a project, but none of these are close to being no brainers. ... View more

why is it that we universally admire modestly, great people, yet so many find it hard to be modest? Cheers to a life well lived and an American original. ... View more

Spot on and damn near any over 40 dude is guilty of some aspect of this behavior. It's a good reminder to drop the back in my day routine. We didn't like it from the boomers and it's no better from us. ... View more

this is the part of car collecting that drives normal humans batty. An absolutely insane car, begging to be driven, with a ready audience waiting to admire it out on the road. Instead it sat still, tucked away for 20+ years. Now it exceeds the means of the average interested party, will likely never be driven in earnest and didn't net the original buyer anything in the process. The original sticker was $120-$130m. What's the point? ... View more

Must agree with the 1990 Cav Z-24. My first new car purchased off the showroom floor upon college graduation was a candy apple red model and though I loved the car, I was aware of the blah wheels ... View more

seeing a couple of these cars that have never been driven is fairly depressing. They've turned into investments alone. Given the technology of newer cars, that seems a poor risk in the long term as they will be largely obsolete and difficult/impossible to keep running ... View more
