Jeep News: Rumorpile: Green Light Is Given for Jeep Trackhawk and Wagoneer
I am excited by both these products. Be cool to see what it looks like and what the final numbers would be on the TrackHawk Hellcat engine. Bet you could reprogram it and get it to be one of the fastest SUVs out there.

VW News: Volkswagen To End Production Of Current Phaeton Next March
Very Cool, Greek woman are freakin hot to me especially brunettes with brown eye's! Oldest and tallest sister takes after my moms side of the family, Blonde and Blue eye, very German. My middle sister takes after my dads side brunette and brown eyes. Then little ol me is Hazel eyes with brunette hair. Go figure, I tease my mom all the time about are you sure I am not the milk mans son? But then I look just like dad, so nope.

Beautiful Cars Appreciation Thread
Balthazar, that car is just drop dead sexy! Unlike the Citroen which is just drop dead ugly in my book, but then I find very little outside of Wine that is cool or sexy from France. Especially their Toothpick thin woman. So I guess to each their own. Glad some like the Citroen but I will pass.

New ATS wheels have swappable inserts
Very cool for those that like to make changes to keep their wheels looking fresh. Personally I do not like the looks of those rims. I also wonder about how well the inserts would stay especially if you hit potholes. We see plenty of auto's that have lost their hub caps, I can see this being like that and then you end up with an ugly rim.

DECEMBER CAR SPOTTING THREAD
Came across a bunch of butt ugly i3 last night at the mall. One is bad enough but when you have multiple together it is a freakin Horror. Who ever thought that styling was cool needs to have a mental health screening.

Buick News: General Motors Files Trademark Applications For Tourx and Regal Tourx
Glad I can make you laugh. I have come to realize that most of both sides of my family being all German are very conservative pricks that have a hard time accepting change or differences in others. Probably another reason my parents left everyone in Missouri and the LA area and moved to Seattle back in the mid 60's where I was born and raised. Gotta love being free and accepting of all. Happy Holidays to everyone in the last 10 days of 2015!

VW News: Volkswagen To End Production Of Current Phaeton Next March
Your last sentence is what gives your bias away... @ 6'6" tall, there arent many vehicles that fit your body anyway...and so probably the ONLY vehicles you fit in ARE fullsized SUVs...so THAT makes it less of an engineering problem from VW and more of a genetic deformality on your part... Dont take the last thing that I said too personal, I just have height envy. You are exactly 1 foot taller than I... OK...maybe 11.5 inches taller. Im 5'6 1/2" No offense taken Just an American Born full German where I am average for my family. My sisters are a bit shorter at 6'2" and 5' 10" tall.

VW News: Volkswagen To End Production Of Current Phaeton Next March
Having been in the actual auto. Once I have the front seat set, getting out, only kids could sit behind me. At 6'6" the sedan fails to hold 4 adults in my family. German and all tall like me so I stand by my remarks and clearly they moved the drivers seat up to allow him to have room for the tea bit. Any tall person can fit in any car if you do not worry about fitting others in. For me, this car fails due to the roof line and lake of headroom in the backseat as I hate the coupe look. While this has a bit more headroom over the new trend of all auto's looking like coupes, it still fails for a big person like me. I will stay with my full size SUV's thank you,

Acura News: 2017 Acura NSX to Start At $157,800*
Tesla does it better than this and that is pure electric. Over rated, over sold from a marketing stand point and now 3 years too late. FAILURE on many fronts. Auto Blog has a video of them driving this new NSX. http://www.autoblog.com/2015/12/18/2017-acura-nsx-pricing-info-official/ The video shows more interior harmonic noise than a proper burble of a powerful engine. Externally you get that tinny Asian can sound that just sucks. That is the Sport+ mode, Sport is even more Tinny and Quiet mode goes EV. Some cool technology including the Brake by Wire. You have electronic brakes and they simulate a brake pulse feel but there really is none. Good video and now I really see that car as an interesting technology study, but not inspired as a performance auto.

Continental Uncovered
But my Trailblazer SS AWD is body on frame and rocks in being driven hard through the corners as well as straight line and I do not have the so called body roll and swagger of what some like to accuse the BOF auto's of. The right product with the right tuning, suspension, rims, tires, etc can make all the difference in the world.
