Here's $Whatever, buy the perfect new car for Halloween

Here's $Whatever, buy the perfect new car for Halloween



That's right, it's come to this: a theme week! And because Halloween is in five days, this shall be the "Catspaw" of our weekly series devoted to giving our editors some (fake) money and telling them to buy a car of some sort.

In short, our editors must pick a new car that would make a perfect accessory for Halloween. Is it spooky in some way? Painted orange? Is it just a Jeep since almost all their cars are named after things you could also dress up as for Halloween? I mean, I guess you could dress up as a compass. But please not a Cherokee.

Any who, I'm going with new cars here, because someone would assuredly find some old hearse or a black Flex which looks like a hearse or something crazily modified to look like the Munster mobile.

OK, the rules.

  1. There is no price cap this week, it's more about the theme than sound purchasing decisions.

  2. Again, the car must be new.

  3. You must explain why it would be good for Halloween, be it by itself OR as an accessory for your own costume (for example, picking a Ferrari 308 because you're going as Magnum P.I., but like a new car version of that).

 

Jeep Wrangler Willys in Sarge Green

Senior Editor James Riswick: I originally wanted to find a Tuscadero Pink Jeep Wrangler because what could be a more perfect Halloween vehicle in 2023 than a Barbie Jeep?!? Sadly, it turns out I really shot myself in the foot with that whole "must be new thing" cause they discontinued them after 2022. That's a load of crap right there, it's a brilliant color. Fortunately, Jeep still sells a Wrangler that is essentially wearing a Halloween costume. The Willys trim level in Sarge Green is a brand new Wrangler trying to look like an original, WWII-spec, Willys Army Jeep. That seems perfect for the task, though dressing up as George Patton seems less fun than Ryan Gosling.
