Cars That Lost Their Identity

Nowadays
>Chrome-plated Chelsea tractors that can still deal with anything that Mother Nature can throw at it but only goes off the road when the driver accidentally drives through his front garden after coming home drunk from the neighbour's car-key party.

You are right, the Defender did stay true to its colours. The Series and the Defenders were always the off-roader for the rural worker, from Hampshire farmers to Aussie ranchers. Until, the Japanese did the one thing that the British never did: made it mechanically reliable.

And, again, you are right to argue semantics but, in my opinion, the Range Rover carries the same heritage; the off-roader that can climb every mountain and ford every stream. The difference being you can do it sitting in a leather armchair.

This fucking thing right here.

>"Oh, I want this 135i because it has a BMW badge on it!"
They want it because it's "cute" and has a BMW badge on it.

The average BMW owner is a maglignant badgewhore and BMW has the second worst case of cancer in the automotive world.

A-user... We need to talk..

Why do you lie on the internet?

BMW has fell so far.

Cadillac may have lost they way of land yachts but stuff like the CTS-V and ATS-V are an improvement.

Lincoln and Buick shouldn't even exist anymore. The fact that GM axed Pontiac before they axed Hummer and Buick still pisses me off.

What if they lost their way but then regained it afterwards
