  1. I hope it does do well, want to see Chrysler stick around well past its 100th. That said, it’s kinda forgettable.

  2. Yeah...like duh! I didnt realize myself... The ITALIAN Job... DUH! Im afraid to ask about you not wanting to swim in the oceans and the seas. Oddly enough, I dont like swimming in lakes. I dont like the muddy, murkiness nature of lake water. or at least the lakes that I have swam in Quebec. At least in those particular lakes anyhow. Believe it or not, I get creeped out from lakes. Nothing to get creeped out with, especially when compared to the oceans. Sharks and jellyfish and all kinds of fish that can and will kill a human. That does NOT creep me out. But safe, lake water scares me. Something aint right with my head me thinks...

  3. I made a mistake. I said that Donald Sutherland was from Montreal. He is not. He was born in Saint John, New Brunswick. I do not know why I thought he was a Montreal native. Possibly because he frequented Montreal often in the 1980s? Maybe he was a resident of Montreal then? USDM FTR!!! I love the fact that they race Dodge vans in Japan and these vans are called...Dajibans. I just LOVE that word too. Dajiban. Dodge van. Daji ban. Wax on, wax off, Daniel-son.

  4. My dad's dad, my granddaddy, came from Zakynthos. My grandma from Ithaca. My mom's side, everybody came from Kephalonia. The 7 islands of the Ionian. Kephalonia being the largest of the 7. Ithaca and Zakynthos being within swimming distance of Kephalonia. About that movie. The remake of The Italian Job in 2003 starring Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Seth Green, Edward Norton, and Montreal's own and superstar Donald Sutherland. And @Robert Hall beat me to it!!! Kudos to you Robert!!!

  5. That sounds like the 2003 remake of 'The Italian Job'. I remember part of it was set in Venice. Saw it in the theater back then, fun movie. Had a Mini chase set in LA instead of the Alps like the original did. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317740/

  6. Dont know about Finland and Sweden were most classic American cars end up going to, but I could tell you about Greece. The roads on the islands, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, were skinny donkey trails snaking up and down mountains. There were some that were paved then, but most were not. Eventually all were paved and enlargened. But please dont think that today these former donkey trails are interstate highways with 4 lanes going and 4 lanes coming... Tourists busses and Mercedes Sprint truck hotel passenger vehicles go up and down these roads with ease nowadays and that is with sharing the roads with rented cars from tourists and the local yokels. But there is quite the difference with muscle cars and land yachts with these modern busses and Sprinter vans. The turning radius of these Sprinter vans and Volvo and Mercedes busses are just incredible. Its a great thing to see how tight these things turn. And its needed... American busses need a lesson from their European counterparts in that regard. But maybe our busses dont need to turn that tight. Lets not also forget that American cars of that era didnt really handle any kinds of twisties. They wallowed and dipped and dived. But then again, these cars were designed to go fast in a straight line and ride in comfort on our straight, long highways. I dont know how clear the idea it because looking at these pictures below to see how tight those roads are That is a vigil. A person died there going off the road. There are plenty of these vigils. Id say hundreds of them if not thousands in totality in all of Greece... Yes, drunken young adults going too fast for the most part in motorcycles, but adding classic American muscle cars to that mix and things get worse, not better. And lets talk about Athens... A typical Athenian street in an old area. Modern, new areas of the city are more or less engineered to accommodate cars, but that above photo depicts how impossible it is to have a whole population driving big American cars of the 1960s and 1970s...

  8. It seems pleasant but generic. And the boring white w/ black top doesn't help. Very clean and modern, has the currently trendy slim lighting...but nothing really screams Chrysler to me. Looks like something Stellantis can sell in Europe badged as a Peugeot, Citroen or DS with a few cosmetic changes.

  9. That's it! And the title was so obvious. Ok. Efharisto! It's on my to do list. Even though it might be swimmable, I wouldn't do it. I've got my reasons. I've been liking lakes and swimming pools more and more over time.

  10. Japan has a HUGE American Muscle scene, just have to wait like here in the US a few decades to import without restrictions those muscle cars one loves.

  11. I want to go back. I've only been once ... to Athens and also to 3 of the islands. The next time it will be more of Athens, Corfu (Kerkyra), and possibly Zakynthos. I love their food (seasoned and tasty without being spicy) and their pastries. - - - - - Ok, I need some help identifying a movie. I saw bits and pieces of it. I want to get it and watch it without interruption. It's an action-heist-thriller type movie. Parts of it took place in Venice. I saw the part in which they are after a big crate of something with valuables stashed in a palazzo (mansion) on or near the Grand Canal. Someone set up explosives to only affect the concrete slabs where this crate of valuables was held up above. When it went off, rectangular parts of the floor dropped and the crate went onto a boat in the "boat garage" on the canals and they sped off, after which I'm sure there was a chase scene. It was a popular and successful movie. I don't even remember which stars are in it.

  12. pleasantly generic, but also hopelessly forgettable is what I could also agree to. I will also agree that it does not have any Mopar cues on it, which is a shame. It does however have modern French styling and it will probably do well in Europe. Hopefully it can do well here in North America too.

  14. Now that they have released actual images of the Chrysler Airflow and that it is near production ready, this is an impressive EV and should do well for Chrysler dealers.

  15. It would look less stupid with an extra 6 inches or so of roof...the amateur customizers that make these shortened cars always seem to take so much out that the side window opening looks waaaay too small.

  18. It's not about what they built in the past, it is about what the market wants now. The Wrangler outsells every GM vehicle except the Silverado and Sierra, if you add Gladiator and Wrangler together they outsell the Sierra. The Bronco is off to a strong sales start, Toyota sold 129k units of an 11 year old SUV that they probably paid off the tooling for in 2015. GM needs a Blazer that fits the nameplate. And they aren't alone, Nissan better get the Xterra back fast and I think Toyota could revive the FJ Cruiser with a removable roof or soft roof option. And whether those are all gas, EV or both, whatever, but Nissan and GM especially are leaving money on the table right now, Toyota could probably get even more (no Land Cruiser here, only the Lexus version, no FJ, etc.)
