As far as modern wagons go, I found the recent Volvo V90 quite attractive.

Call me old fashioned, but as much as I like two-tone exteriors, I don't like all those colors and stripes. Looks like a basketball shoe.

By far, the sexiest wagon since the CTS-V Wagon.

Genesis needs to build a G60 sedan based on the Ioniq 6. I really like everything about the Ioniq 6 except its rather spartan interior.

I also saw another interview with him, he still goes to the gym 3 days a week and attributes staying mentally young to his 54yr old wife and that he sings every day still. He said he still has so much to do and learning and being active is important as he wants to live another 100 years. He says death starts when you stop moving as he can tell if he misses going every other day to the gym, he stiffens up and has a harder time moving around.

A bunch of Asian and Hawaiian, probably quie a few with black DNA. Not a whole lot of black folk in Hawaii....but California...I bet so.

Good grief. Being that the CTS wagon was last made in 2014, this Genesis had better trump it lol. "Style" is a relative term anyway. That aside, I want it. I still want the CTS-V Wagon as well.

@Robert Hall I asked https://deepimg.io/ to create a Blackwing wagon based on the CT6 Blackwing sedan. Got this!

Would be cool if Cadillac would build a CT5 V series wagon...

Perhaps Central Cadillac is part of a bigger automotive ownership group that owns multiple brands, including an Infiniti dealership, and on cost cutting measures, just uses one generic 'thank-you' card with just one picture on it, that Infiniti coupe, and distributes this one generic 'thank-you' card to all of its customers regardless what vehicle they happen to drive?

Except on the Mercury Sable, it ACTUALLY looked good. Imagine that light bar with LEDs... I also like the Pontiac Grand Prix too. But modern cars though, I think Lucid does it best. Because you cannot tell its there. The stainless trim camouflages it. But its there alright!!! And even at night, its subtle. And I like how LUCID lights up But its overplayed, I agree.

I like the fact that the G90 Wingback has a loooooong ass wheelbase. And this is why it has that loooooong ass wheelbase: Which is fantastic. But Im not ready to be chauffeured just yet. Maybe when I hit my 60s. But...looooooong ass wheelbase cars do ride much smoother though. And I like that too. But my heart belongs to the German...for now.

Janitors like that piss me off as they are just freaking LAZY!

1 minute 30 in and I was swearing at the guy...and I cut it short. Didnt wanna listen to his stupidity any longer than that. 1. Who the phoque does mechanics work on MODERN cars at home in 2025? 2. I get the "right to repair" outrage for Zeke's Auto Shop somewhere in hickville, alabama or bumpkin pumpkin south carolina... but there is a reason why most people do not attempt to work on modern cars in 2025. 3. its to avoid killing one's self and others as cars today are actually sophisticated. Do they have to be that sophisticated? Well that is what this moron youtuber is trying to sell his idea on. 4. But at around the 1 minute mark is where his argument all went south (pun intended as it seems the folk down south in them there united states are really phoquing dumb individuals). He goes on to say that one could fix the brakes on a car by themselves. Its not that hard he says. But even if putting the brakes on backwards he says, you would hear a noise that something is wrong and you would just change the brakes up again to put them right. Like he does not see the problem with what he just said? ALL KINDS of error in thinking in that... Zeke in his business auto shop down the street should be able to hire auto mechanics students straight from an auto mechanics school to fix modern GM cars, Ford cars, KIAs, Toyotas and all the other OEMs out there WITHOUT having to buy special proprietary equipment and computers to unlock the proprietary car's computer to be able to read the software language to be able to repair... I will agree with that. But Bobby Joe with his two good teeth and his blood cousin/brother-n-law Waylon who married his sister Country Sunshine shouldnt be able to... 6. There is a reason to why computers are locked though. Everything phoquing Bluetooth in cars today and outside hackers might and will be able to take control of the cars. Not that would stop any hacker, but it is more difficult to do so. 7. AND....cars today ARE sophisticated. You cant just bang on a car part today with a hammer to get it to fit or to hillybilly a solution for it. Yeah...put a brake part on backwards he says... Fix it later and better he says when you hear weird noise he says.... Phoque me!!! If you are serious in doing your own car work...make the phoque sure you aint putting on nothing backwards... I thought changing brakes are easy. THAT is what he says too. But that is the thing, if putting on brakes is such an easy and trivial thing , why would you put it on backwards, but if you do put it on backwards, what else do you phoque up on the car today in 2025? And that is with brakes... Cars today are not just mechanical.... Does this youtuber or Zeke or Bobby Joe, Waylon and Country Sunshine know electronics and computers? Are they willing to learn? They probably all flunked out and dropped out of school, so no...they have no will to learn anything new... Any other Joe Blow...who some knowledge and its a difficult thing... Why would you attempt to fix it yourself voiding a warranty or phoquing up another part and being in a worse position than before? The folk that are able to work on today's cars OUTSIDE of a dealership KNOW what to do. They often HOTROD their cars and TUNE their engines different from the factory settings. These guys ALREADY know what to do. Joe from accounting in your office has not the time, nor the patience to do such things. Billy Bob in appalachia might be able to do it because Billy Bob is a car guy, but Bobby Joe with his 2 good teeth, most probably not. Fake phoquing outrage...

Exterior was Gemini Nano Banana 2, but then it hallucinated on the third picture and used up my free tokens. ChatGPT did the interior.

I think that interior is a little too close to the original HI6, but it's a step in the right direction

Best Rebadge of a Tesla Ever!

Yes, and sometimes I miss my voluminous Greg Brady hair that went with that V8 engine. I still have it, but it doesn't look anything like that!

Some days I miss being a young man, that was very much part of it. And will continue to do so. That and E bikes, E lawn mowers, E snow blowers. In Ohio, I work in facilities for a university. We got rid of our gas powered snow blowers and got electric ones. Much quieter, never fail to start on a cold morning, no explosive gas sitting around, don't need to keep a bunch of gas on hand for them, lighter, cleaner (no grease or oil, etc.) Amazon around here is all E delivery vehicles. The paradigm shift is happening, and we see this overseas on other markets, where electric cars are rapidly replacing EV's. This is why I see the demise of domestics (among other issues). When the inevitable happens and the US and Canada do open the door to Chinese EV's, they will be so far ahead of what US automakers are making that it will be like watching the typewriter business or the buggy business go away as the new technology rushes in like a flood.

Lambo is your second picture. Jeep is garbage and with all the advertising, I see many Jeep loyalist leaving due to the garbage they build.

phoque trump phoque the u.s.a.

Random, albeit repetitive ...

WOW Idiot47 Voters are truly as dumb as he is about the economy. Pinched by higher prices, many Trump voters say: Don't blame him

Good morning ... ... except that i'm not being facetious. Today Dick Van Dyke turns 100! When they asked him what he attributes his longevity to, he said that he doesn't hold grudges. That's admirable. That's not easy to do. I then wondered how I could possibly operate like that being Italian and, worse yet, Sicilian.

Chevrolet announced the addition of the Trail Boss in replacing the RST as the top of the line for the EV Pickup back in May 2025. Trail Boss joins the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV lineup The first of the trucks have arrived and the reviews are pretty bad. Lied on its resume. We're pretty sure the Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss lied on its resume Ugly, but expected considering how many places are laying off. US weekly jobless claims post largest increase in nearly 4-1/2 years

deepimg gave me this modern update on the 442 wagon. Then I asked it to create 442 version based on the 1992 olds vista cruiser wagon and I got this. Then I asked it to create an Electric vehicle version based on the 442 Vista Cruiser wagon and got this which I really like.

I almost posted that first, but we only got the cross country here unless you special ordered one

1970 Oldsmobile 442 Vista Cruiser Station Wagon

yeah, but I could totally get into one of those as a wagon. (minus the silly wing and hood scoops)

I wonder if America has any Black surfers.

I would always get flyers from a bunch of Buick dealerships I never went to, even if I just went into one for service. Sometimes they would come from the craziest places because I had been driving long distances and got service. It's kind of like Catholic charities. My mom routinely gave to 5 of them. And then I wound up chasing away 25 of them after she passed. Those dreaded mailing lists that get passed around.

My Cadillac dealer sent me a holiday card...hmmm...a bit of a glaring error on the front...

Long Ass Wheelbase is what I love about my Escalade and the EV9, smooth ride.

OMG this! Everyone is doing it now. Tesla too. It's like 1986 Mercury Sable all over again.

I like this one even more than the CTS V wagon With that colour scheme of this year 2025. The 2026 I believe has a refreshed face. Keeps its V8. But is a hybrid? Anyway, I love this wagon and I will probably love it still for 2026.

Purely on appearances... it's the nicest Kia Soul you can buy.

I've taken the Boeing assembly tour as an adult and, when I was a kid in scouting, United Airlines gave us a tour. There are 3 tours that I would really like to take to see how the processes work since I could probably understand them better today: 1) the USPS processing and distribution system 2) the waste collection system 3) the recycling system

Recycling can be aggravating in some places. I am very far from being a tree hugger, but I'm a big believer in recycling. When you're in a red state and/or an area where they just don't care, you may not even find the bins for it. Sometimes I find that I keep my recyclable things in the car until I find some bins. I couldn't believe how many rest areas in Florida do not have recycling bins, so the junk accumulates in my rental car. Then, I've been at libraries where they have the separate bins and watched the janitor pick up the trash ... only to watch him just throw all the recyclable stuff in with the regular trash.

Trying an AI Genesis G60 again with the link @G. David Felt provided. I like this interior a lot more, I'm not sure about the look from the front. Here's the ones from the other thread

Should post them in our AI auto thread.

The new Solterra is finally worthy, as is the Trailseeker.

This actually does not bother me as I no longer like working on auto's, would rather just have a repair place take care of it or best, hold the dealership accountable.

I really like this! It would be on my shopping list if it was out now.

I've been taking photos and need to slot them into their right spots. GM "full sizes" Buick LaCrosse (3rd and final generation) This picture turned out good and flatters it. It's about the same length as the 1st generation, but the sweep of the cabin greenhouse makes it look deceptively longer. I think there was a person inside, and they were wondering why I was taking this photo - - - - - Olds Ninety-Eight Regency (RWD, probably Olds 5.0 liter Rocket V8) Got it just in time! I'm thinking '83 or '84. I will always love these cars. This one dates back to July. The others are all recent. As I would say, "voila la Cathedrale Roulante." - - - - - Pontiac Bonneville At its very youngest, this is a 36 year old car. The last year for this rear light bar was 1989. I saw this in a valet situation at a hospital and didn't have a chance to talk to the parking attendant. This Bonneville is in outstanding shape. I did not like the rounded Bonneville that Pontiac marketed from 1992 through 1999. But I really liked the very last one which debuted in 2000 ... as long as the trim level didn't get carried away with the cladding.

Not good for the world economy as China has grown without importing. China’s growth is coming at the rest of the world’s expense

Interesting read The bright spot for EVs nobody is talking about

I am saddened. Loved him as an actor. There was also a crime thriller movie with Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery that he did. Rising Sun.

For sure. 100% I have a personal anecdotal story involving insurances. Although my aunt's and uncle's insurance story from Boston didnt affect me personally, its a story that makes me very indifferent regardless what kind of monster Luigi Mangione could really be. If the story is that the CEO that got murdered was truly a sweet man, then I will have empathy for him. If not...indifference it will be for me. I have lost a lot of my humanity these last few years I must admit. And you would be correct, indifference is almost always NOT the correct emotion to wield no matter what the circumstances. Most probably was. I am curious to know Luigi's motives. Although I am not too fond of Luigi either. I dont like murderers. But...innocent until proven guilty. And Luigi's Miranda Rights allegedly were not given to him. And...a search warrant was not present when the officers went through his backpack. I will hate it if Luigi does not stand trial because of incompetency. Justice needs to be served. For the deceased as well for the charged as well for society. Any murder is creepy, I will agree. We discussed my indifference so I wont get into that again. This would be a second time I would be indifferent to horrific public murders in a year's time. My indifference to both murders does not negate that I also sense and feel the creepiness of it all. Good guy or bad guy, indifference to his murder or not, and we will add Charlie Kirk to this...NOBODY should be murdered. I agree with your assessments: indifference is not the right answer and vigilantism is a very dangerous road to follow. human beings are strange creatures. Psychology has proven that human beings are more lenient and more favorable towards pleasant physical human attributes than to humans that are less lucky to be blessed with beautiful genetics. Reality is though... that ALL human beings are capable of murder. THAT is the scary part.

Thanks for this link. Very well written, detailed, chronological enough, and interesting. This is about how I understand it. The psychological twists and turns are going to be important. There will be a lot for psychological experts to chew on that we're not (yet) privy to.

While him being good looking is a factor, this feels like a French Revolution type thing. Health Insurance companies are largely evil and people know it. They literally continued the meeting after the CEO got shot, that's how heartless they are.
