Stock-Looking 1975 Ford Bronco for Sale in Washington

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 01:37 PM PDT

There's just something deeply endearing and almost cute about the way the first-gen Ford Bronco looks, especially if it's not jacked up on silly suspension stilts and off-road rims.

This example looks like it came out of the factory gates in 1975, and while not completely stock, it does a great job of looking like it.

Regular Car Reviews Treats Aston Martin Vantage in its Typical NSFW Fashion

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 11:06 AM PDT

While the Aston Martin Vantage roadster is by no means "a regular car," it was the subject of one of the latest Regular Car Reviews videos.

Review Says MINI’s Gained a lot Growing in Size

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 08:02 AM PDT

Aside from the lower rear headroom, there's not a single bad point to be made about the new MINI. It may also be slightly harder to park, given its extra length and width, but with all manner of sensors and cameras, this is quickly forgotten.

It's also noticeably more refined than before, though I did get to drive the new Cooper myself and thought the three-cylinder turbo was a bit gruff – it lags behind a Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost for refinement. There's less road and wind noise inside than before, and there's shoulder room to (almost) stretch out too, though.

KBB tried it out at its US launch event and they too were plenty pleased with how it presented itself. Their only complaints were the confusing array of buttons and the awkward placement of the infotainment control knob.

Check it out their full review after the virtual jump!
