    New York 2012: What Is Ram Teasing Here?

    William Maley

    March 29, 2012

    The image seen here was posted on Ram's Facebook page today. Its a craftily cropped picture of a Ram front end. The picture is part of a series of daily teaser photos leading up to the truck’s April 5 reveal. Ram is calling this campaign “A Giant Awaits.”

    So what could this be? Our guess is that will it the new 3.6L Pentastar V6 and eight-speed automatic combo as shown in a SEC filling earlier in March.

    We'll find out what "A Giant Awaits" means on April 5th at the New York Auto Show.

    Intrepidation

    Of course it's the V6 model. Firstly, the SRT wouldn't be chrome, it'd be body color. Secondly, there's huge market for the V6 model and nearly zero for the another SRT truck. Sure it was cool but that's not where the money is. Don't forget the take rate on the best selling F-150's V6 models handily outsells the V8. In fact the EcoBoost V6 alone outsells the V8 model.

    I know the new Limited model was recently announced... could this be a Denali-competitor package from Ram? All that chrome, my eyes!!

    In retrospec I would have to agree that his Chrome Monster is to compete with the Denali. BLING XD BLING XD BLING XD

    Interesting...so they are doing a Limted model...they already have a Big Horn version that seems to be like Ford's King Ranch.

    They're offering the Laramie Limited model based on the same premise just without all the goofy cowboy stuff. I think that's a great idea, because I don't like the Ford King Ranch nor the Ram LongHorn and Big Horn packages, though they are popular with the truck crowds (the city boy in me doesn't do country). One of the main reasons I like the GMC Denali package - nothing to do with cowboys!! I think Ram realized they can go after more buyers who want top-of-the-line stuff without all the silly cowboy and rodeo "stuff" (not the word I wanted to use ;) ).

      I wonder what I'd do! It didn't mention where this was.  I'm guessing in and around Lake Tahoe.  It's a beautiful sport but an expensive sport ... and I don't have time to keep up with the trendy apparel and equipment, not to mention an orthopedic mishap. It's like a group of any other animals crossing the road!  I don't think black bears are looking to interact with humans. There are about 10 ski areas in and around Lake Tahoe.  My favorite one was Sierra Ski Ranch ... now renamed, so that dates me.  Northstar is very impressive and Boreal, next to I-80, is the easiest to reach.  My least favorite of the 4 I've been to was Kirkwood.  I was still under 30 and it was proof positive that a lot of way cool douchebag kids drop out (for a while) to work at ski areas.

      AI is a pill.   Too bad, that could have been a beauty with a real car. I remember that AI Cutlass Supreme "amended" with that split grille found on full-size Oldsmobiles. There's some weird stuff going on in the opera window and at the rear, but I can't say that the grille is all that bad. I wonder how many of our members drew or sketched cars when they were kids or teens. *raises hand* Now, above is a real '82 Cutlass Calais with a 260 c.i. (4.3 L) V8. They saved the more elaborate egg crate grille in '82 for the Brougham and the Calais. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

      That's an AI image...looks like a mix of a Plymouth Duster and a Chevy Nova.

      Good morning This is what I really wanted to share. That's what Californians do ... share. Maybe not museum grade, but it works well. I don't know if that's a Ford, an AMC, or an old Buick Skylark!

      Maybe I didn't use the right words.  It's overly supple and overly assisted in parking lots and when driving slowly on smaller streets.  It does not communicate much when there are lots of thick walls next to small roads and farms right beside me! After renting it, I read a review and it said that it doesn't corner or track very well, and that started getting annoying last night.   I drove a Citroen C3 here somewhere between 2019 and 2021. I believe I reviewed it.  First, I couldn't believe how smooth it was. It handled well in parking lots and was surprisingly smooth and agile on the highway, too.  It's not like you get two times the smoothness because the car costs two times as much. I have a friend who went for civil engineering at ASU.  He said that they used the same textbooks, for the most part, that they did at Berkeley.  So, with Berkeley being so much more prestigious, and with a much lower acceptance rate, it's not like you get two times a better civil engineering education there.  So my point is that for twice the money, the increase in drivability is not a ratable or linear relationship. I've come to see that the extra money in this BYD is all about the many bells and whistles that take about a week to learn. It's not that impressive on the highway and on rougher roads. I sort of like it on nicely asphalted urban streets at lower speeds and it has been getting respectable fuel mileage. I liked zooming around in that Citroen C3 with the side "Air Bump."  I had asked them for a smaller car instead and they told me that if it had to be automatic, it had to be this one.
