Shakespearean Car Reviews

Car Talk

The fact is, car reviews are getting a little boring these days. So, this week on Car Talk, we started wondering... what if Shakespeare wrote car reviews?! Here are our suggestions of what the Bard might have opined:

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your legs. I need to push this damn Hyundai Accent again.

Out, damn’d spot! Unless you order the optional pet package with your Honda Element.

What’s in a name? That which we call a Volkswagen Touareg by any other name… would sound a hell of a lot better.

Aveo, Aveo…wherefore art thou rear leg room, Aveo?

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the ambient lighting package on the new Ford Focus, and Juliet can pick from any of seven colors to match her mood.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind… and by the time I figure out the iDrive’s heater controls, it’ll be spring.

And, finally...

O, what men dare do! They put not twenty-one cup holders in the Cadillac Escalade, but twenty two!

Got any more suggestions for Shakespearean-inspired reviews? We'd love to hear them! Share them right here -- and thanks.

Me thinks thou doth protest too much. Perhaps car reviews would not need shakespearean language if the cars themselves weren't so boring. If cars today were more like those of yesteryear (ie. Grand Torinos, Corvairs, VW things, etc.), quotable phrases from famous literary figures would not be required to generate interest.

If you people would work a little harder on your Elizabethan English, you might be able to generate something from "here's a knocking indeed" (from Act 2, Scene III of "Macbeth").

what if the Bard was a call-in radio host?

"Welcome to Bard Talk. Call 1-800-2b-ornot2b. Hello. Bard Talk. You're on the air.."
Caller: "I'm in love with this guy, but our families hate each other. What should I do?"

"DUMP HIM!...Hello. Bard Talk. You're on the air..."
Caller: "I'm a Roman emperor, but I fear my Senators are plotting to kill me. What should I do?"

"TWO WORDS: NORTH DAKOTA!..Hello. Bard Talk. You're on the air.."
Caller: "Why do my thumbs prick everytime something wicked comes my way?"

"PUT LIME IN THE COCONUT. DRINK IT ALL DOWN. CALL ME IN THE MORNING!..Hello. Bard Talk.. You're on the air.."

Caller: "I want to trade my kingdom for a horse. Good idea?
"GET A LIFE!!!...1-800-2b-ornot2b. Hello. Bard Talk. You're on the air.."

Well, I don't know about reviewing with Shakespeare, but you can find some non-boring reviews at sniffpetrol.com - look for the Dab of Oppo column by Troy Queef.

"Hello, Bard Talk, you're on the air!"
Caller: "This is Katherina Minola from Padua."
"Is that with a C or with a K?"

Range Rover Range Rover
send tow truck right over...

Now a twice owner
relationship's over...

Showroom is great
for birthdays at late
but presents at present
are unpleasant...

My love has run deep
now I just weep...

Must say goodbye
for others a try.
