I'd definitely say, that of all the cars I've owned, my Wrangler was my favorite. Just not practical at the moment, but I will someday, once again, join the fellowship.
It is indeed. One of the finest automobiles ever conceived by humanity. '06 was the last year of the inline-six.
Gotta admit, though, that Lambo actually LOOKS like the 21st century cars we were promised 40 years ago. Shame it doesn't fly. I mean, on purpose, anyway. I've known people with British sports cars. Hangar queens, all of them. Made for people who like to drive a little bit and spend every weekend under the car trying to make it run right.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Hangar queens. What's the fucking point? I want something I can beat up and get dirty. You know, actually use.
Had and loved my Wrangler for 10 years. Had to get something bigger for my family so I went to a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. I like it too, but I miss my stickshift no top no doors (had both OEM hardtop w/doors and softtop w. half doors but never used em) ride.
You want drooling? This is a car. 450 horsepower and 500ft lbs of torque shovelled through a 4-speed M-22 "rockcrusher".
For some people, like me, "ugly shitty functionality" is the best. I've got no use for obscenely overpriced, phallic status symbols that'll rarely get driven and never wrenched-upon by their owners. I need a tempermental display of wealth on wheels like I need another hole in my ass.
I agree completely, but at least it's better than getting a full sized 5+ liter V-8 4WD SUV complete with skid plates and brush guards, just to take the kids to school and go grocery shopping...but not ever once taking it offroad. Not that I'm being judgemental or anything. I know that's not you btw.
Most of those are glorified, independant-suspended, bloated passenger cars that have no place off the road, anyway.

Pacer, I think. Fun fact, AMC used to own Jeep. Some mechanical parts, even engines, were shared for awhile. [action=Uncle Albert]might not mind a sedan with a 258 under the hood.[/action]
A buddy of mine had a shit-brown AMC Gremlin when we were in high school. We always wanted to take it on the highway and play bumper cars. That thing was built like a tank.
This thread is pretty interesting in that it outlines the difference between what Europeans like in a car and what Americans like. It seems to Euros, they like something stylish and sexy. With a lot of curves and futuristic. While Americans want a car that looks more like a monster - tough, loud, and fast. In short, Europeans tend to like cars that look more feminine and Americans like their vehicles to look more masculine.
As for the new Lamborghini, I can't say I'm a fan. That droopy thing that looks like a thong on the hood has to go, and the car looks too much like a computer pre-rendering of a Lamborghini concept. It looks too much like it's trying to be a TRON vehicle. I don't like the way the headlights droop down like that either. It looks like they took a Countach, circa 1984, made a wax model and heated it enough to melt away the details, then called it this year's model. I don't like it at all.
its because europe is secretly gay. we'll defeat the formation of eurabia by bumming the muslims into secularity!
My ultimate goal is to buy a brand new sportscar, and paint it the worst assortment of colors and patterns that money can buy, and be rich enough that it'd be a drop in the bucket.
