The Jeep pickup seems almost as mythical as the mid-engined Corvette...talked about for years, rumored, prototypes sighted, but still nothing in production..

I think with Ford dropping passenger cars and Chrysler not upgrading the Charger/Challenger/300, and Gm talking about dropping regular passenger car products...and electrics becoming more popular...I would bet 2021 is going to start to see some more radical changes to the automotive market than we are used to.

While I don't like most Airbus twin aisle products, I like the Airbus 340 a lot. Earlier versions were smaller -200 and -300 series. The last version is a -600 series. I believe they were released in 1993 or 1995. It's a great set-up ... 2-4-2 seating in steerage, and 4 engines. The smaller engines on the -200 and -300 look just right. I have flown on those via Lufthansa. I saw one darting around FRA airport and the upward sweep of the wing from behind is beautiful. As for the -600 series, it was a flight on Iberia. The -600 engines are massive and have a lot of thrust. These -600s barrel down the runway and rotate very quickly with a full house aboard. The Airbus 340s are considered gas hogs, hence the twin engine Airbus 330. Same thing as the Airbus 340 inside, more or less, but with two engines. - - - - - Iberia Airbus 340-600 outbound - boarded via a connection at Chicago O'Hare Iberia Airbus 340-600 outbound - early arrival in Madrid at dawn - look at those engines! Iberia Airbus 340-300 return - Madrid - these are the smaller engines on an older bird Iberia Airbus 340-300 return - Madrid - boarding via bus and stairs; notice how hot and dry it is outside Iberia Airbus 340-300 return - I'm almost sure this is right over Las Vegas McCarran, since LAX would only take 30 more minutes and the runway layout looks familiar and like the one on the city map. Iberia Airbus 340-300 return - in an unlikely place ... over the California desert Iberia Airbus 340-300 return - a window seat view on the San Gabriels, with LAX in about 15 minutes Iberia Airbus 340-300 return - DTLA to the left, as the flaps start doing their job to land the plane Iberia Airbus 340-300 return - on the ground at LAX over 11 hours later (I think Iberia has retired the -200s and -300s ... not sure.)

More are coming soon

An Eliminator w/ the Hellcat.

Your just showing how Jealous you are of people with fun toys. All 4 SUVs are cool, but Tesla built the fastest one!

I don't care what it's called because both those names are pretty gnarly.

I am definitely seeing that trend ... and I don't like it. It may work for some, but not for me.

Good question...I haven't heard anything concrete about future FCA products beyond MY 2019. From what I've read on Jeep forums, for instance, the next Grand Cherokee (WL) has been delayed until 2021. Maybe the next gen of Charger has been delayed also. Seems like 2020 will probably just be a carryover since 2019 is here already...

This is a very cool video drag race of the super powered SUVs and it is way too funny! WOW, G-Wagen G63 wallows like a Hippo!

Yet the Tesla X spanked those overpriced SUVs.
