I know we sometimes on here, but this time I gotta say he’s right. How can any American car company expect to compete against those sweet, sweet Alliances, LeCars, Encores, and Fuegos?

Oh, wait. I forgot. Renault (pronounced Ren-ALT here, “in the case of France”) hasn’t sold cars in America since, oh, 1989. Sure, they collaborated with AMC/Jeep to design the XJ Cherokee and the Eagle Premier, but as far as cars sold as Renaults, we haven’t had those for, oh, three decades.

While he’s at it, I hope we do something about Panhard et Levassor and De Dion Bouton.

There you go. That’s the big problem with the economy: we’re getting clobbered by French cars that haven’t been sold here for 30 years. I sure hope we take care of that.

2010 Land Rover LR4: First Drive

Carmen Miranda’s Karmann Ghia for $9,300!
Okay, it's not really Carmen's, but is still trying to figure out what a Flamenco dancer has to do with this drop top Vee-dub. Summer's over, and there's a crisp flavor to the air that may or may not be H1N1. And while the leaves are turning, and you're eyeing...

1961 Nash for $16,500 Cash!
Generally, describing a car as an appliance is pejorative, indicating it is dull as dishwater. Today brings you a car that's totally not boring, but does look an awful lot like a refrigerator. The heated battle yesterday over the merits of a ended with a surprising 75% Nice Price vote...

The new has a distinctive exterior, a and both are strangely proportioned. So who, exactly, does Acura think is going to buy this thing? In a word: DINKs. No, not dorks or dweebs, although there may be some who overlap into this bracket. We're talking DINKs, as in the acronym...
