    R34 is a lovely Skyline as well: R33 was a nice version too have to say that while the 72 & 73 are very nice, or what is known as R30 and R31. The R33 was nice but too rounded for me and the R34 just nails it with the right angles and roundness. Then the R35 is just R32 and R35 are my least favorite Skylines with the R35 being the ugliest.

    Would be awesome to find an old one and restore it or even make it a pure AWD EV powertrain. I have seen some of these that have had a modern Skyline powertrain put into them. We need to get auto's back to having some individual style. Right now like @balthazar has stated we have a very stale stable of auto design right now.

    Love this 1972 Nissan Skyline GT-R

    I agree, I really like the solid black rim. Wish they would do a Black Chrome as well as a Matte Black Powder coated rim. I think both of those have been under utilized.

    One Auto I always wanted to own and thought looked great was the 2 door Yukon GT. I think GM needs to bring it back.

    How about a 2 door Escalade. I like this. Guess others were thinking along the same line according to New Auto Car Preview.

    Two colors I am so tired of, why not have a rich Burgundy, Deep Forest Green or if they want to go on the wild side give us a 60's era Candy apple red or green. This is a special package, give it some special colors not just more of the lemming Black or White.

    Sounds like the 80's all over again.

    @balthazar Please tell me what you think of this 55 Chevy. Is it the nicest in the world? http://www.automobilemag.com/news/watch-ten-reasons-might-worlds-nicest-55-chevy/

    These signs crack me up, amazing what governments to common people post to inform others! http://www.hyperactivz.com/signs-that-are-just-too-hilarious-to-take-seriously?utm_campaign=Clever Signs *MSN Safe* Fun V101.1 LiEN BG - Desktop USA&utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=msn-msn-home&utm_term=Clever+Signs+That+Prove+That+Sarcasm+Is+Alive+And+Healthy&utm_content=https%3A%2F%2Fprod-pubplus-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fab521aef-58dc-4310-a949-b2b77849e757.png

    History is great and we learn from it, but I see little value in saving every old building. Society moves forward and you have to eventually say enough is enough and leave it in the pictures of history books. I really question what is gained by spending millions on renovating a building that has no use in today's business or personal society. I am sure better things can be done with the land than renovate it and try to make it some sort of tourist destination.?

    Totally agree as the Coupe thing is so over now.

    Seems to have a functional EQA running around Italy. I wonder how much of the lighting affect will make it into the final auto?

    Clearly Buck-o you not only did not read Bills write up nor any other web site as people are coming in asking for the V6 and V8 Hybrid system called eTorque and they are nowhere to be found. FCA is late to the delivery of this system. Per Bills write up: The 3.6L V6 and 5.7L HEMI V8 with the 48-volt mild hybrid system are nowhere to be seen. "I have customers looking for them and asking about them every week," said an unnamed Ram dealer in Michigan.

    Sweet package, this is so nice. Wish it had some other colors as I am not a fan of white or black. Dark sky metallic is just blah. Where are the rich lovely maroons, dark forest greens and other shades that have a ton of metallic.

    Interesting, the autocar link is no good and searching their site seems to have pulled their own story, but here are a few more links covering this too. https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/the-porsche-cayenne-coup-has-finally-been-confirmed-ar181451.html http://www.thedrive.com/news/21409/porsche-cayenne-coupe-reportedly-confirmed-for-2019 https://www.topspeed.com/cars/porsche/2019-porsche-cayenne-coupe-ar163949.html Weird in rereading all the links above, I see they all quote the same Autocar report that is now pulled from the web site. Wonder what is going on with the story? ?
  17. G. David Felt
    @ccap41 @Cubical-aka-Moltar Yes Ram's eTorque system is their 48 volt hybrid system based on all my reading at other sites and from FCA own news releases. http://media.fcanorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=18753&fIId=18758 Or if you cannot get to the website here is the PDF version to read. 2019_Ram_1500_-_Powertrain.pdf Comparison including pricing by FCA against Ford and Chevy. http://media.fcanorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=18914 Like Bill wrote in the story, people are going to the Dealerships and asking for the Hybrid truck. One would think if you announce it, state you are building and shipping the trucks that they would show up on the lots then.

    @balthazar This is getting some service work done at the shop I have used in the past. Saw it and thought of you.
  19. G. David Felt
    A little bit different as when Ford and GM announce they are building their 2019 products and shipping them they actually do. FCA announces building and the start of shipping and then very little has actually shown up. FCA might need to get a bit more control on actual delivery. Tesla approach does not work for them.

    I would totally disagree with you. Escalades have always been very quiet and the cadillac Magneride system makes it very smooth and comfy. The pacifica is very quiet but the Escalade is another level all together. Plenty of miles driving Escalades to know that they are a very comfortable roomy roadtrip auto. Here you are wrong, I believe the interior measurements and then the butt in the seat test and in this case, measurements are true for the Pacifica being bigger interior than the Escalade in the second and 3rd row. Front row, Minivans have always suffered as you have that bullet nose along with the interior design of the front footwell area that is cramped compared to a full size SUV. Especially for a large guy, I will say that the comfort of an Escalade in the front driving is a big difference over a Minivan. Pacifica is the roomiest by far in comparison to Honda or Toyota and especially Kia. Yet with that said, for me when sitting on the seat in the drivers position or the front passengers position, I do not feel as comfortable / leg roomy as I do in an Escalade. My opinion on that, but that is how I feel when I sit in one compared to another.

    I have to think that the lack of modern powertrains along with a mild 48 volt hybrid system that is vaporware right now is hurting them more than helping them. They should have held off till they had the hybrid system worked out before talking about it.
  22. G. David Felt
    I hear ya, will have to go out and test drive a pacifica as the last minivan I was in was fine for commuting but would not want to be in it for 18hrs. This could also have to do with the sto n go seats as they are very thin and hard IMHO. I think even the current Escalade has lost some comfort in going to the thin seats.
  23. G. David Felt
    Growing up in a large family with vans and station wagons I get where you are coming from. But then as times change and one has ability to buy a luxury SUV for road trips, one's view changes. They both have their place, my life style and what I do I could not do in a minivan. Yet with my full size SUV's I can go places that I prefer and that includes off road. Doing 3-4 yearly road trips, I will take my Escalade on an 18hr road trip over a Pacifica or any other van, minivan. Comfort cannot be beat to me.
  24. G. David Felt
    LOL, cracking jokes already on a monday. I know the minivans have more interior space for storage. Yet with that said, you are looking at two different kinds of comfort for road trips. kids versus adult and what people want and need changes as you get older or based on how you were raised.
