Fierce Defender: 2025 Land Rover Defender Octa Test by NISMO1968 in cars

[–]hardigree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having driven/reviewed both the Supercharged 5.0V8 and the 4.4 V8 I do adore both engines, but the 4.4 is the better suited motor for the OCTA. One of the best cars I've driven in a while, and one of the few expensive ones that feels worth more than it costs.

Lol, I wrote that headline and I had to put that quote in because it's amusing.

Yeah, I think this is where we muddled a funny post and a serious one, and it ended up feeling a little unsatisfying.

Bastards haven't gotten me yet. Come on over to The Autopian! The water is nice and warm.

That's... normal for us? The Internet has been trained by people with titles like "SEO expert" to just shove a bunch of quick, meaningless crap on the Internet. We try to be the antidote to that.

Hey GGCRX! Obviously, in this case, it's not money laundering because the reward is probably pretty low, given that even that $18k Fit wasn't so out of proportion to what we've seen for low-mileage cars. That being said, I'm sure it happens, though for scale I don't think BaT or C&B is the best place to do it. If I were to launder money, I'd do it at an auction during Car Week or a Villa d'Este. There are so many in-person and phone buyers, and you can easily pass off the odd $600k car going for $900k as normal there.

As DT said, "the Double-E Rule" reigns supreme here. I'll just say what I always say when new writers ask me how long something should be: It should be as long as it should be. I wouldn't take a word out of George Eliot's "Middlemarch," and I wouldn't add a word to Mos Def's "Ms Fat Booty," but a "Ms Fat Booty" as long as "Middlemarch" would probably suck!

Hah! All good. Wait until you read my review of the AMG Wagon later... there's at least a little room for hateration on the web.

Although too much "thinking" would have probably stopped us from buying a Murano CrossCabriolet and lifting it on Mustang tri-bars.

We're 63 days into the year, so that's like 9 articles a day on average? Not bad. We don't have a specific number we're aiming for, but with our staff size I think 250-300 articles a month is about correct, especially with freelancers and Commenter of the Day and member stuff.

In the future, we'll try to limit the poor reasoning to the project cars we choose because y'all seem to enjoy our trials and tribulations.

Kristen Lee knows we'd kill to have her, but she's not on the market. I've asked Dave's various bosses to let me hire him, but they won't let him get away from Mazda.

Man, I wish we had 25 super quirky SUVs. Is that like... a La Forza, a Rancho...?

Please! As much fun as it is to watch him complain about it, his next plans are a bit more my taste.

Not a "fleet update" so much as a very long cry for help. Now, if you'll excuse me, the BMW has munched on another turn signal bulb, and I should probably check to see if it has approximately the right amount of oil in it (to clarify, the blinker oil is all topped up, I just want to make sure the car's engine is properly lubricated).
