Window shop with car and driver
Depending on where you are in the country, spring may be in full bloom or it may be hiding. We assume Earth’s changing climate will have to unleash Persephone and her sunny bounty at some point, hence this week’s challenge: convertibles for under $30,000.
Our Window shop panelists almost never made clear choices, and this week’s challenge led to the much-anticipated salad dressing. Sugar & Sugar senior editor John Pearley Huffman Go back to 1985 for an extremely expensive, minimally sporty, not-manufactured droptop. The cohort thought he might have changed the channel Hall & Oates‘biggest hit that same year: “Out of Touch.”
Nothing is clear about the deputy editor Carlos Lagosragtop’s choice. He admits to skipping Mazda Miata because it would be too easy and instead, dive into the left field of Chrysler. His find met the challenge, but while everyone wanted to talk about its unique design and engineering, no one wanted to drive or own it. Not even Lago.
Kentucky residents and collaborators Jonathon Ramsey chose a two-seater convertible made in Bluegrass State, but it’s not the fiberglass Chevy you’re thinking of. The last time Ramsey drove a vehicle resembling the Cadillac of his choice, a valet in the survey claimed it was hot enough to take off his underwear. The crew points out that each taillight costs $3000, but the real lesson here is hearing Pearley say “Drop the crew” twice.
Deputy director of testing KC Colwell loves the spring sunshine in the south of Germany in his rag nor factory. He landed on derExplosionfußpunktwas Germany’s Ground Zero for one of the best convertibles of 1990 for a midlife crisis.
Finally the editor-in-chief Tony Quiroga went to the UK to buy the pickup that comes with a sweet engine, terrible infotainment, gorgeous lines and a free endoscopy. Insert jokes about the sun and where the sun does not shine.
Voting is mandatory in the Window Shop, so someone has to win. Like all but one of the picks, the wins aren’t pretty, but this episode is all about the bad failures and unexpected tangents we’ve taken along the way.
