A lot of people bitch about this, but don't forget, Mercedes also got Chrysler build quality for the duration of the '00s, so it's kind of a wash.

Now that Fiat owns Chrysler, who got the short end of the stick build-quality-wise?

I really, really can't wait to see the benefits of Italian engineering combined with American quality.

Screw you, that Crossfire looks great. Sure it would look bad in a single color, but that deco breaks it up enough visually that it just works.

I heard the most amazing ad on the radio on my way to work this morning.

Translated as best I can (I live in Poland), a very husky male voice goes "It is not true that money rules the world. But those who rule money, rule wisely. That's why I chose the new BMW 3 series."

Way to not play up the stereotypes about owners, guys. I think they saw the Cadillac ad from a while ago and were impressed.

How terrifying is the thought of the last car you ride in being a 95 towncar butchered to somewhat slightly resemble a modern rolls.







There are apparently toys of the pink floyd thing, but i can't see to figure out why

What truck is that? Looks pretty ugly but then again most do. E: never mind, I worked out it's a hummer 3.
Or is the problem the canopy? Canopies are pretty common here and it doesn't even snow.

It's an H3T with a shell that is made to somewhat resemble those that are seen on the military H1
