Decades later - the Honda Legend KB1 🇯🇵

The KB1 generation, launched in 2004 was supposed to be Honda’s long awaited answer to the likes of Lexus and Infiniti. Which meant from the beginning that they would probably bomb in Europe, irrespective of how good they were. While a V8 RWD was too far

They were up until the mid 90s when sales really started to decline at Jaguar.

With Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus increasing significantly in the mid 90s and onwards. I think this new concept of taking Jaguar upmarket is what the brand really needs in order to survive. It can't be a full line manufacturer anymore. But will it survive at

It would remind me of this 1st gen MR-2 that gave up its 1600cc Toyota-Yamaha 4 cylinder for a Lexus V6.

The guy even had a matching color MR-2 watch! I'm guessing this is "a little" faster than the factory '89 Supercharged 1st gen that I had! lol!

Quite curious what we will see on December the 2nd…

I understand the frustration here and after having seen the video it’s certainly not how I would have gone about it 😊 At the same time we need to face the facts. After the turnaround by Edwardes that finally led to the brand being sold to Ford, it’s not b

It's easy to look and laugh

I understand the confusion and disbelief of the rebranding... but, you know, clearly the demographic they were aiming is not interested anymore in Jaaag. They prefer Porsches and Lexus nowadays. Jaguar obviously needs to catch some attention to survive. I

Hardly…

They tend to be constructed just as durably as ICE cars - in fact if you look at cars such as the iX it brings so much expensive technology to the table which they would never put into a humdrum ICE car. And the life of a battery will most likely be much

I wish these looked British

For a while now, these Astons (and Jaguars) just do not look British anymore... they look like supercars and they are eye-catching, but they have almost a super Japanese presence--like Lexus/Nissan supercar--they lack all subtlety and do not have the deli

Reminds me of my father’s experience with Mercedes between 2003 and 2006…

The grief got him to switch to Lexus and 18 years and quite some cars later there has not been a single glitch. Sadly the model range in Europe has been changed to such an extent that there’s nothing sensible left. Admittedly they were such a bit player t

I tried with my wife, tried the Lexus, BMW and Merc.

We looked at the large LX 7 seater but she said the interior felt cheap and plasticky. Porsche we were never drawn to their SUVs but love their 911s. And BMW has a wonderful engine but the body style of the X7 M is Ok but not special. The G Wagon we love

Cars with Character seem relatively easy to find around here
