Don't worry fellas, we're the last generation that even remembers Mercury and "Benz". Once we're gone, it will take care of itself.

Yeah I think the GXP (other than a slightly different grille) is much the same as our Special Edition VE SS Commodore.

Nailed it. We don't have many regulations but that's one of them. All delivery trucks have cross view mirrors front and back.

First time I've seen them up instead of down for the mirrors, makes me think they're gonna last weeks not years

Will give it that it was quiet and QUICK, and guaranteed to have AC unlike the Grumman "Mailcat" to steal the Fat Electrician's turn of phrase

Your side mirrors show what's in them, they're convex mirrors with good sight lines across the back of the vehicle, safety of people around the vehicle and if someone trying to break the doors. They do break in to mail and delivery vehicles

A palette cleanser for the previous electric vehicle offense

You see it through your side view mirror. It's a primitive form of a surround view camera. Top tip: don't add a third mirror, it will rip a hole in the space time continuum.

The 4x4 drivetrain is tougher than ****. The reason there are so few Scout IIs left is that Jeep guys love to swap the transfer case, differentials, and axles out of them. They look dainty in comparison to the stock CJ Jeep stuff but the IH's are evidently made out of diamonds and tungsten. Unfortunately the bodies are forged from rust. The engines are mostly pushrod V8s and parts are still available because they powered tractors and combines for 30+ years. Super cool trucks.

And one of my favorite automotive logos of all time. It's intended to represent a dude sitting on a tractor from head on and it does that perfectly, imo.
