What would your last vehicle be if you had to decide today

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
Probably not high on anyone's list but for me it would be a 1987 Buick GNX, my childhood dream car, only 547 of them were made so they are rare and expensive
They were and still are cool cars. My close friend growing up had a cutlass supreme which wasn’t as cool but we worked on his car A LOT and always liked it very much
 
I made this decision 15 years ago..

To OP's question on what appeals to my inner car loving soul: the simplicity of this car is very zen. Unlike modern cars that have countless mechanisms/technologies to separate you from the machine and the road, you have a 100% direct mechanical connection to all of it. The result is you really feel the drive vs just ending up there. The lack of modern comforts forces you to reconsider what you really need in life. The fact it's totally obsolete in every way means you're never chasing the next greatest thing and instead get to just enjoy life in your own swim lane. I also love the form follows function looks.
She’s a beaut Clark!

Dang that’s a nice LJ! I’d love to own one someday.
Thank you much. I bought it when I was 24 (43 now). It was my daily for 10 years and has had fun car status since then. A little over 77k miles. I've gone back and forth with selling it over the years, but my kids are now 10 and 7 and they both love it so it isn't going anywhere.

How awesome, I love it!! That makes it a thousand times better when the kids love it.
 
Changed my mind.

Last of the V8 interceptors. You’re a monster if you don’t want the same thing.

Also okay:

Riding eternal on the fury road is also acceptable.
 
Today, I would just replace my 8 year old F250 with a nearly identical new model (with a couple extra options that were not available when I purchased it new). I tow to much now and nothing new can really replace a diesel engine. If I had to replace any of my other vehicles, really don't know-it is why I have a Scout reservation and not a new vehicle. I tend to get the vehicles I want, and nothing has pegged my want meter since the F250. Only new vehicle we have gotten since the F250 was updating our Jeep (and the reason for that upgrade is the diesel engine that is no longer an Jeep option). In the next 2 years, perhaps something new will be on the radar other than the Scout - but I doubt it will be in production before the Scout.
