Review written on 5/1958.
Many vehicles come and go. Most are duds like the Edinburgh but a few stand out like the everyone else. So this month, we'll be looking at the Republique to see where it stands out among the crowd. Is this new Gordon-Brull a keeper? Or should it rust away with time?
As always, our first stop with the Gordon-Brull Republique was the track. This Sedan may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 106 hp @ 4624RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Republique to a top speed of 101 mph and drag times of 25.054s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. Hooked up to our test trailer, the 97 lb-ft of torque were able to tow 22 lbs. Gordon-Brull really did well with the Republique when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Gordon-Brull Republique is like that, but faster. Literally this Sedan can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down.
The interior of the Gordon-Brull Republique is nothing short of amazing. It is beyond words to say how perfect this vehicle is. Only the finest materials in the greatest possible workmanship ever seen in this type of vehicle grace the Republique interior. I can not do anything but recommend the Republique for everyone. Gordon-Brull really outdid themselves.
Amazingly spacey the Gordon-Brull Republique can bost 40 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.
The workmanship put into the Gordon-Brull Republique is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Republique is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Gordon-Brull has perfected the perfect.
If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Gordon-Brull Republique. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.
At the pump station you get the feeling that someone over at Gordon-Brull really wanted to squeeze out every last drop out of this vehicle. And that person should get a raise. The Gordon-Brull Republique gets an impressive 45.6 mpg! Which means it theoretically pays for it self compared to the competition!
While the Gordon-Brull Republique is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.
I was happy with the time I spent in the Gordon-Brull Republique. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Sedan you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Republique but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
