		<description><![CDATA[Before Subaru introduced the B9 Tribeca, with its 7-passenger capacity and “flying vagina” style grille, the idea of a Subaru SUV was akin to that of a coal-powered hovercraft. That’s why, in 1994, Subaru conceived the idea of the all-wheel-drive Outback wagon to compete with the increasingly popular 4x4s of the day. The idea was an enormous success, leading to a huge boost in Subaru popularity and production of similar all-wheel-drive station wagons by competing brands.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Consider the Volkswagen Cabriolet. Based on the proven platform that was used by the Golf, Jetta and Rabbit, the Cabbie can be likened to a four-seater Miata. Though it lacks the Mazda’s raw, racecar-like driving feel, its ability to carry more than one friend more than makes up for it. Combine that with the excellent gas mileage, sporty (but not GTI level) suspension, and surprising practicality that comes with owning one, and you end up with a cult classic, which these vehicles are slowly but steadily becoming.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looking at today’s luxury SUVs makes you wonder where they’re all going to end up in a decade or two. While your Escalade might be cool today, what will become of it in 20 years when all of its techy gadgets break, and it’s sitting on space-saver-spares instead of 24s? Is it possible that the once rugged Yukons, Land Cruisers, and H2s of the world will be considered classics, or will they litter wrecking yards as lowly Mk 2 Jettas and fecal brown Ford Escorts currently do?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Should you happen to be a down-and-out investor turned bankrupt wannabe, a filthy British slumlord, or a low-end temp worker that needs the boost of owning a luxury car, there is no better vehicle to suit your needs than the love-it-or-hate-it 1988-94 Jaguar XJ6.

Nicknamed “Project XJ40” when Jaguar conceived the idea to revamp their aging saloon in the 1970s, the sleek new sedan was Jag’s answer to the sportier and more modern vehicles being offered by BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Sadly, when the revolutionary new luxo-sedan premiered, many Jag purists revolted against the boxy beauty, citing the decidedly un-curvy styling and the corner-cutting assembly of the beasts (though this should have been no new news to them). ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Suppose you are an esteemed beater aficionado with upward mobility. You’ve got a few grand to spend and you want a pampering ride to get you through the Midwest winter like an A-list celeb. Perusing the classifieds, you notice two ads for seemingly identical cars—but which to choose? Your decision may rest with the person who holds the title. Both owners might carry a cane. Both might sport feathered hats. If you make them smile, both will likely reveal artificial dentition. If you upset them, however, the outcomes are likely to differ immensely. The car in question is a Cadillac Brougham.]]></description>
