Puma looks cool. I wonder if they'll do a panel van version of it like the van Fiesta: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/feu/en/products/cvs/fiesta-van/FiestaVan.html

Am I the only one that thinks the overfenders on that Dodge look a bit poo poo? Mould them into the body, they look like cheap stick-ons that you've filled and painted over.

I actually always have liked the Challenger and Charger's looks- just kind of a very no-nonsense modernized muscle car look. Knows what it wants to be and pulls it off IMO

the big ol' fender flares just turn the "muscle car" dial up a few more notches

I... really like that, somehow. They've toned down the angry catfish look just a bit and properly fit the wheel size to the rest of the car. . Would drive (within its warranty period).

E: the Mercedes Glub, not the Chrysler, naturally.

The worst part is, that Mercedes Glob up there is a 7 seater and is expected to be around $37,500 for the AWD 221hp 2.0T model.

You really nave no reason not to love it.

I expect every single person on the planet to be driving one within 3 years.

e: a tune on the CLA250 takes it to 260hp/310ft/lbs It's like a 7 seater Golf R with a non-poo poo badge for $3k less.

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
Subaru really ruined the looks of the Forester with the 4th gen. I've always thought the third gen was a nice clean take on the original, it still resembled the same basic proportions and was somewhat boxy:



Then the 4th gen was turned into something that in no way resembles the original car and is difficult to tell at first glance from the Outback.
