On the new Honda 10-speed with the buttons, you have to pop the hood and find a “control shaft” on the transmission body, onto which you place a wrench and twist to release the transmission! (It’s eeeven better if you have the ZF 9-speed, as a special tool is needed to manipulate the release, and if you don’t reset the release before you start the engine after the battery is restored, you could DAMAGE the transmission! I haven’t been able to figure out if the 10-speed could be damaged in any way, and in any case, I have all the incentive in the world not to find out!)

The strategy is working. Isuzu outsold BMW, Audi and Land Rover last year, has enjoyed meteoric and sustained sales rises this past decade and is still logging growth in 2019 as the market cools dramatically.

Raises hand. That said I keep my keys on a lanyard and generally carry them around my neck. My only “complaint” is that certain companies’ fobs are all identical so if you have multiple vehicles from that company it can get tricky to use the correct one. For example I have a Mazda6 with proximity sensors; I can hit the button on the door and slide in without worrying about the fob at all. My mom, whose spare key I carry, doesn’t have a proximity sensor and so using the key is required to unlock her car. For the longest time I had to try both of them to get into her car. Then I bought rubber fob covers and the “problem” was solved.

I don’t really notice the starting and stopping on them, however I rented an Expedition with it last week and when it was cool enough that it would shut down you could feel it when it shut off and started up.

Some items in the shop illustrate larger historical trends. Custom-made strike plates and threaded spindles for the doors of housing projects and public schools, for instance, indicate the jury-rigged nature of city infrastructure. Etna, a relatively small independent machinist, continued doing work for public housing until around the time it closed.

The Supras featured are painted in orange, just like Paul Walker’s ride in the 2001 original that launched the franchise.

As for the XE, which for 2020 comes only in newly christened P250 and P300 guises (the previous V-6 models are dead), it finally feels like the sports sedan that Jaguar needs. We reported a full rundown of the XE’s changes for 2020 earlier this year, but after our day behind the wheel in southern France, we can characterize some of these changes as subtle, while others, particularly in the interior, are comprehensive and effective.

A resto-mod of that Mark IV would probably be just what your Old Man ordered! Didn’t know those had anti-skid brakes available; from what I’ve heard, the big GM PLCs had it on all the wheels, and the big Chryslers had them in back, as optional equipment.

King Cab models start at $34,890 with the gas V-8 or $41,540 with the diesel, while Crew Cab versions begin at $38,170 with the gas engine or $43,510 with the diesel. Four-wheel drive is available at all levels, but is standard on the Pro-4X off-road version, which we tested for this review. The Pro-4X is available in King and Crew cab only.
