Silly young man. That's a Screwdriver not a 3G network.
I like that Nissan has refused to clutter the Z's big ass by bolting a bunch of the "go faster" black plastic onto its rear bumper. That stuff is like the padded vinyl roofs and wire wheel covers of the '70s-'80s: It's become de rigueur and rarely does it make a street vehicle look better.
New Corvettes come in a Supersonic blue that is close to the (gorgeous) Petro blue.
That looks great.
I'm for more tutone to break up the massive flanks on so many new vehicles.
I thought of a Chrysler Firepower plus GTR, but, I like your description more.
Rover P5, especially the 4 door coupe and the Wolseley 6/90 series do it for me.
I once had a Ford LTD that had its horn button on the end of the turn indicator stalk.
4th Gear: I saw a reddish new VW Jetta yesterday and couldn't quite recall what old car it resembled. Now I know: an old Kia Optima.
If you Google/image a Decepticon you get a Ford Fiesta center stack.
I agree. It was so good that Honda cribbed it for the 1st gen NSX.
"...these are all car-chassis vehicles..."

So, most crossovers are wagons.

Twenty years ago I went to an event that had lots of good bourbon and both Bill Patterson's and Randy Owens' work. I was in heaven until I woke up the next day with a #6 Cement Mixer hangover and discovered the (massive) diminishment of my savings account.
Dennis Hoyt and Jay Koka merit a mention.
Today's lots: coupes, sedans, wagons, vans, crossovers, SUVs, and pkups, all of them with 4 doors and in various shades of silver, grey, beige, white, or black. If you're lucky you may see other colors like murky red, faded imitation-80's-honda metallic-blue, almost-grey, beige tinted gold, faded snapshot yellow, sorta-brown, rusty-orange, and desolated-green. Nearly all of them have really big shiny wheels and some come with "Ground FX" kits and rear spoilers for that retro '80s vibe.

At least the hardware (and software) is better today.
I recently spent a day at the local drag strip in a stock Chrysler 200 Pentastar V6. In 6 runs it averaged 5.4 zero to sixty and 14.1/101.6 quarters.
I guess I'm not the targeted demographic car guy. I found it all to be way too formulaic "Speed Channel" right down to the glittery set, the routines, and, Carolla impersonating Jimmy Spencer. Too much fluff, not enough hardware. Perfect for the SAS Generation.

I did see Serena Williams on the ESPYs, though.
Hybrid Only Parking, forsooth!
We use them as trellises in our community garden.
I don't despise Top Gear, but, I find it too stagey and a bit boring.
So true. It is lovely nonetheless. In '63 or '64 Datsun had a show vehicle that looked very much like an update to it with more rake to the A-pillar. Think it was called Sprint 1900.
