    I know I'm wondering what are they going to call the Baby Bronco. I remember talking about the names Timberline and Maverick, so I'm suspecting that it will be called one of those names.

    I'm going to say Maverick is the most likely name, if we can consider the Terrano II rebadge as a Maverick.
    Okay, I can already see they clearly took their front from the new Vantage. Which I still don't tolerate.

    Wasn't the Maverick like some 70s sport compact?

    Yes, then the name was used in Europe and Australia for a Ford Escape and two Nissans.

    Is it normal for a car to bend like this? I think not and I suspect improperly repaired previous accident damage. What's your thoughts?

    That would depend on what it hit. If it hit a pram, I would be worried, if it hit a brick wall at speed, it did pretty good.

    Its more less impossible to tell from photos, especially without knowing the exacting details of the incident itself.

    I think that the car was trying to use the entire front end to turn instead of the wheels, totally normal, nothing to worry about.

    A strong lateral hit to the front of a car will bend it like that. The green paint on the driver's door looks like it was transferred from another car. My guess is it got hit perpendicularly.

    DAMD just released a wonderful bodykit for the Suzuki Jimny that follows the style of the LR defender. They also make a kit for making it look like a G-Class.

    What isn’t so wonderful is the name:
    Little D.

    Heh.

    I wonder how many times owners of these will hear the words "Do you have a little D?" xD

    Many of the buses are old but my bus is usually whichever, this one being a 2012 model, so relatively new.

    Make your updated 4x4 look like an outdated one.

    The Hybrid looks better than the XSE model so far from what we have (Corolla).

    Turns out that my Enticer 340T has a vacuum leak but I cannot find it... but it won't start now so I guess that's one way to solve it :/

    Is a Cadillac really going to be bought by some tech savvy millenials?
    No.
    Do your market research, GM.
    (But that doesn’t fix the fact that their product portfolio is seriously mediocre ATM)

    I really disliked that they used "Bang Bang" in one of their ads for the XT4. It feels out of place, and would better fit with some Johnny Cash or music around that range.
