Yup the lemming factor, not a bad thing to build consistent long range profits on. Demming and Druker said not all things built to appeal to the masses is a bad thing. One cannot fault the masses giving them Billions of dollars. GM and others should have focused on that long ago. Yet GM has under Marry really moved in that direction, just gonna take a few generations to change the perception. -
Yup, Family consistency in the dash, just done better this time around with contrasting colors. I can find the same thing in MB, heck just about any European auto, Asia is where you find the really weird contrasting dash shapes.
-
Yup, Escalade and GL you can find off road all the time in the PNW, but I truly believe that is the exception not the norm for the bulk of buyers.

Lemmings have limited mental capabilities. Hard to show a mental lemming that there are better options out there.

Thank you for posting them, after watching them I can clearly see why they are not on sale here. The potential is such limited as most people would rather have a King cab or crew cab model over this and those seats look so uncomfortable. Kinda slab like. Very cool that they have an RST and Z71 version of a standard cab short bed truck, but how many would really sell here. ? Course I do get the thinking, they build it and sell it in Mexico, so how hard is it to offer to sell it hear and have it on the catalog as an option. At least give the dealerships the CHOICE. Let the market prove if there is or is not sales of a standard cab short bed.

DOA Major waste of money, would have been better to kill it off in 2011 and write off the loss and focus on better premium options than a motor no one will buy and at this point the Elephant has made it clear that most will not buy it. It will be interesting to see how many they actually sell compared to sitting on the lots and then being heavily discounted in a year.
-
True they might as well go here for those that want another bland coupe style car. I agree, the worse MPG on that engine just does not make sense to me either.
-
Here ya go Robert: It is a nice Nautical theme color contrast but not sure I would want it for years of driving. Would rather have a nice Moca interior. Much warmer.
-
There fixed that for you!
-
Cool, 2004 Escalade ESV, interesting place for the exhuast on that front quarter panel.
-
Really? ? Seems Subaru owners all say and complain about the head gasket issue. My neighbor just had both of his Subaru's in for head gasket repairs. Outback and Legacy.
-
Nice, should continue to sell well to the faithful. I wonder if this engine will have the heads gasket problem of all the other boxer engines? ?

New York - Ready for my Closeups
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
Rivian auto's, any other electric auto, CT5, concepts are my choices. Would love to know if the front seat in the Rivian is all the way back, how much legroom is there in the auto in the back seat area. Would love a picture. -
Meh, another coupe based 4 door sedan. Sharp enough to stand out, will make sales, but not sure just how much if any market share it will take.
-
Meh, very blah, I can see the relation to their concepts, but just way to Blah on an exterior that will be lost in the sea of CUVs today. Interior is just basic stuff that will not win any awards either. This is gonna be your basic appliance CUV that people looking for a cheap auto or sold on the Korean auto brand will buy, but I do not see it setting the sales chart on fire.
-
I am thinking that someone somewhere in the stupid German Marketing thought it was a good idea to have a hold handles there when you go off road and are in extreme angles. Sadly, they obviously did not do their market research to learn that these CUV's never go offroad, it is a great idea for say a Jeep Wrangler that does go off road to have inside grab handles, but not in an ubber luxury auto that never sees more than a gravel road going to a McMansion.
-
Right, not! It is electric, no wasted need of a transmission. That third spot is only a foot rest, not a clutch silly blu! Tiny car in comparison to the ladies.
-
WOW, where to begin. This is just TERRIBLE! FAT Station Wagon with a disconnected dash of two odd shapes fighting for your attention and the seats do nothing for me especially with that pattern and just look cheap. To the Sheeple fans of Toyota, it will probably sell.
-
Love the look of this externally especially as it has that Butch Station wagon vibe. Interior, just not a fan of the dash. This should sell well for them.
-
Fo U, EV only version!
-
CT5 already beats this, this is the same blah interior you have accused others of having and now you hold it up as a yard stick of gotta beat this? ?
-
Very cool, love the rear access doors. Back side reminds me of a Juke, front side looking on reminds me of a better looking Tesla. I at first thought this could be a decent update to the Tesla look when you look head on. Love the electrification!
-
True just as all software is pushing to go to monthly or yearly payments for ongoing for ever software revenue stream, leasing is what will keep the money flowing if they can keep their customers once others OEMs start bringing out their EV hardware.
-
Yea, but it is missing the Mojo of the R33 and R34. This Skyline is no Godzilla or even a real Skyline, it is just a GT-R. They really need to look hard at the those two Skylines and recapture the glory of what made it so desirable. This is not those cars.
