Or maybe just make sedans more like how they were in the 1930s and 1940s. High belt line. High step in to get into the car. A step runner for good measure. Short front and rear overhang. Long hood and short deck just the same. Tall roof. Make it taper off in the back end for a sleek look. And an actual huge trunk that you dont bend over to get your stuff from but still opens big and wide that is not a hatchback... Because modern crossover style SUVs and CUVs...minus the hatch...are eerily similar...

Yeah...sure. I guess that is a #fakepost, right? Did not happen, huh? Or that when you do it its not meant to be taken seriously, right? Why are YOU so upset and surprised by Moltar's down vote? You are the only one CONSISTENTLY and CONSTANTLY down voting folk for shyte that disagrees with your socio and political bias. YOU (and another poster who shall remain nameless) are the ONLY ones using the laughing up-vote one sarcastically regarding posts that are the opposite of how you view things... So...like usual...you only want everybody to follow the rules that convenience you. Whatever happened to the one that says talk about the subject matter which is cars and not about the poster? It seems you want to muzzle everybody's differing opinion that is from yours... Nice try bud. But it seems that you are the one that is butt hurt from all this... And you know what? You just got yourself another 15 000 word essay from me...

BULLSHYTE!!! That there... is admittance of taking a defensive side... BTW. Your social justice warrior shyte gets old. Bobo mentioned HIS views on how he feels about the President of the United States of America on on how the year ended up being with him being in charge. YOU or even Drew cant stop freedom of expression. And even though this site tries hard to avoid the political stuff, its bound to phoquing happen from time to time. Politics is a part of life. It has always been and it will forever continue to be. Grow up dude. Grow a set of ballz. I too...will make sure injustices like this wont go unanswered...and ultimately its Drew that decides whose voice gets heard... What kind of injustices? Hearing your whiny shyte time and time again when something is against YOUR own system... The downvotes. Your social justice warrior rants of how one should express one's feelings especially when they dont match your own... Have you forgotten how YOU casually made fun of me with Trudeau a while back? Now Im sure I will get some sort of warning or even a temp ban for politics or trolling or talking about a poster rather than automobiles, but JESUS CHRIST!!! We are all adults in here. We are all mostly above 35 years old. Most of us are even over 40. Closer to 50 with some of us at 50. A little jab on the President and your mind is phoquing blown???!!! Funny, you mentioned Trudeau to me on a slightly less than flattering way making fun of me yet pushing YOUR political view on me and I didnt lose my mind... OK Drew....Im ready to not post for a week. Do your worst on me.

There is the Fusion Sport that couldnt have taken the SHO's place. But CUVs selling the way they do probably put that kind of sport sedan performance on ice. So...Marauder DNA does live in the Taurus SHO that could have been passed unto the the Fusion Sport but in reality its an Explorer that should be getting that kind of attention performance in the near future. Its easier for Ford to do in the future as the Explorer Police Interceptor gets heavy duty stuff, SUVs sell AND has a fleet service economy of sales to make the R&D for a badass Explorer more easier to swallow.

Coupe or sedan. Its a very sensual and classy design. Aggressive in just the right places and doses while retaining very slippery and sexy lines. Infiniti's SUVs and CUVs are ugly to me.

This post should have been divided into two. Two different ideas requiring to separate upvotes. I could only give you one upvote. Rock-N-Roll from the very humble beginnings of it being a mix of black and white music (but it being more heavily influenced by the black part) and it being a youth rebellion against the old fogeys of the time plus it being called the Devil's music in the bible belt (because it was black music) is exactly perfect for it. In the 1960s...it became a way to tell the government to shove it (on several social problems of the day) and to give the status quo the middle finger. All that youthful rage continued on to the 1980s. Sexuality...and rock-n-roll.... It blew the taboo blinders off with an explosion equal to an atomic bomb. Rock-n-Roll...no better way to rebel. About the current Pres in charge. Well...I aint about gonna get meself into trouble because this site is JUST ABOUT the automobile and nothing else... I do wanna just state one gripe I have...and its not about the President in charge. Its about the whiny posters in this website. One poster writes something negative about a certain Presidents and downvotes are everywhere. Whiny posts about defending that one President... You know what? I too...have feelings about the President in charge! Mine are probably the opposite of yours... YOU may happen to adore what HE is doing for whatever reasons. WHICH IS FINE! HOWEVER...HIS MAJESTY'S policies that YOU align yourself with has a NEGATIVE affect ON MY life... I get that if HIS MAJESTY'S policies reflected a benefit for MY lifestyle, it be a NEGATIVE on YOUR life... Which is just phoquing fantastic???!!! But that is the thing... I HAVE TO BE SENSITIVE TO YOUR BLOODY VIEWS... YOU DONT HAVE TO BE SENSITIVE TO MINE!!! I AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE AND RESPECT your POV! YOU dont return the favour to me! Without naming names...posters. That lying sack of shyte is ready to destroy trillions of trade dollars between the US and Canada...all to benefit the American consumer???!!! Boeing...soft lumber...and countless of other aspects of the trade relationship Canada has with the US. You dont know how badly Canada has bent over backwards for the greater good of money between our two countries over the past few decades... And this lying sack of shyte treats MY political leader like a joke? Like a child? Conservatives in my country hate Trudeau and have laughed at him the same way(his hair)this aint about that though... That hate is also a hate because the man is French...well...he has a French name. THAT would be enough to hate him... But...your lying sack of shyte is making it hard for me to buy ANYTHING American as of late. So...when someone tries to lecture me about how a certain paragraph is unnecessary and untrue and all of that...I also get a tad annoyed by THAT point of view! Either DEAL with the fact that the lying sack of shyte in office is exactly that...a lying sack of shyte...or just roll with the punches and just say the man in the White House is a polarizing figure and he has many people that dont like him... I DO accept that the President of the United States of America has a job to do...and if his decisions are to better his country a certain way...then so be it...even if it means pissing me off in the process. I could live with that... But please...spare me YOUR crying. Because as you could see...I also have deep issues regarding the President of the Untied States of America. For or against... (I may be Canadian...but I want MY Prime Minister to DEFEND the RIGHTS of Canadians and Canadian BUSINESSES regarding the USofA)

The Tacoma has history behind it Many many people have had indestructible experiences with its predecessor, the Hilux. And if they hadnt had any experiences with the Hilux, the mythical stories they heard others talk about either from word of mouth or on TV raised the Hilux to legendary status. The Tacoma...although not as near as legendary as the Hilux, the Tacoma has served the people well over the years right after the Hilux was changed completely and re-named for the US market. I am not surprised the Tacoma does well in the market place. There has been some major reliability missteps by Toyota with some of their nameplates (which hasnt seem to affect their sales...) and some bland choices they made to their image...but its safe to say that their small truck offerings is as awesome as it ever was.

Manual is always classy. Digital like Knigth Rider ...or a 1980s Corvette (and several other 1980s cars) is OK with me too. Digital that emulates manual gauges is awesome. So I really dont have a problem with the "delivery". I do question sometimes on the quantity of information though. How much info do we need displayed in front of us...immediately, even with a quick and simple toggle of a steering wheel button before it gets to be information overload? Do we really need a tachometer displayed when our cars are automatic? If the argument is to see were the car is revving on a cold winter night before we take off so the car could warm up properly...well, modern cars dont really need to be warmed up...(I actually do leave the car running...but not for the RPMs to drop below or at 1000 so the car could be ready to go....its for the car to get HOT on the inside so I dont freeze my ba*&lls off!) Do we really need to know at all times what radio station the radio is at? In the old days...this is what people had Somehow those people back then knew what channel the bloody radio was on...they also knew where the bloody needle needed to be to get perfect reception if the pre-select buttons were not used...(I remember those people quite well as I was one of those people that knew how to handle a radio like that...) Especially when digital display radios were a thing in the 1980s...I think its redundant to have the radio station number displayed on the dash where the speed and idiot lights are displayed...or on the windshield via HUD... So...that would the kind of thing that would be of concern for me regarding car gauges and information.

No offense taken. OK metal. I could do metal. 1980s metal. With evilish sounding undertones...

That is some scary shyte! Very malevolent sounds... Im carrying a crucifix and garlic just in case while listening to this. Wont hurt if I play some 1980s Jesus music. OK...a remake of) And if that dont help...maybe summoning the Ghostbusters will ease my fear of this so called "song"

Seeing Im still in a 1980s state of mind... The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Happy New Year, BLU!!! (Dont mind the song...Ive been on a 1980s pop, disco, new wave and an all out weird 1980s funkiness bend the last 2-3 days.)

Im too busy denying to notice...

All is good, Suave. So you havent seen ANY Starz Warz moviez? Like none? That is such a surprising feat. Almost miraculous how you managed to avoid all the hooplah and the mania. OK...for you to miss the 1970s rage was easy peasy for you since you were not born then. The 1980s frenzy that saw Episodes 5&6 being released (movies 2 &3) was probably just as easy for you as you were either not born yet and/or too bloody young to notice. The real tricky part is the 1990s. For sure you have become of age by then....when for the first time the digital release of the first 3 movies was released in 1997 in preparation for the upcoming so called prequels. And the DVD release was a MASSIVE event. It was hard NOT to miss it...Yet you resisted. COOL. BRAVO! But then...the late late 1990s and early 2000s came along and with a BIGGER event...the prequels came to be. And you resisted that too. Impressive. Most impressive. (This is where I would normally post a Darth Vader GIF...but it be all for nothing, I guess, as you wouldnt have the movie knowledge on how to appreciate it.) And now...in 2015, 2016 AND in 2017, we have had yet another wave of Starz Warz marketing carpet bombing with no avail. I must applaud you for that my good friend. You did not give in! You refuse to give in. Listen Suave. Honestly. Its no biggie that you havent seen the movies. I wont lie to you and tell you you aint missin' anything. Because you are. Apart of missing some very very popular pop culture shyte, (which REALLY IS NO BIG DEAL 'CAUSE THERE IS SOOOOO MUCH OTHER POP CULTURE SHYTE GOING ON...THAT MIISIN' THIS ONE IS JUST THAT...YOU ARE JUST MISSIN' ONE OUT OF THE 1000s THAT EXIST!) BUT...yes you are missin' something...the roller coaster ride that is Star Wars. It IS an experience WORTH exploring. You should one day indulge in it. It is entertaining. Its silly as phoque! Its childish and adolescent. It doesnt make ANY sense. Its stupid. But its HIGHLY entertaining!

I got one... The family and I saw the Last Jedi last night... It was intense...it was quite...interesting the way it all unraveled. I LOVED IT!!! The KIDS LOVED IT TOO!!! SOME SCENES WERE SOOOOOO INTENSE, I HAD MY DAUGHTER CLINCH MY HAND SO TIGHT!!!! With that being said... With NO trolling and No jokes... After telling you guys a while back that the Empire Strikes Back was my favorite... I NOW think The LAST JEDI IS THE GREATEST... Yes...I TRULY feel this way. Regardless what the internet world thinks of it. Or if the ticket sales have waned down just after a week or so. Sure Im being a bit of a shyte disturber... But its all done with a sense of humour... Please folk...LAUGH IT OFF!!! The new year is just around the corner! I do recommend for you guys to see The Last Jedi. Its got some awesome symbolism that one MUST NOT miss and if you do see the symbolism...I guarantee you WILL appreciate the movie for what it suppose to be....going forward...

No...You did not say that... True. But YOU are SERIOUS about ME saying the SBC is THE GREATEST Modern V8...otherwise you would NOT be STILL be here telling me about what you said or you did NOT say! THAT BOTHERS you! About ME having THE OPINION that the SBC IS THE GREATEST! Now...to take a page out of Drew's playbook...

Just stressing the IMPORTANT words... "YOU" is ONE of them! Like I said...READ. Every. Single. Word. I. Made. It would seem like Im stressing... Yet...'twas CCAP that missed that smiling emoji fella when I told him he failed me... Read. EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. HE. MADE. TO. ME. It would seem like HE is a tad MORE serious than I... CAPS....means nothing... Im just POINTING out the IMPORTANT words that NEED to be UNDERLINED because the WHOLE LOT of YOU have MISSED the POINT... In IRONY... It seems like YOU people have an itch over the fact that I have THE opinion that the SBC is THE greatest of our time... I POINTED out reasons why I THINK that... Yet...here we are...STRESSING about the IMPORTANCE of OPINIONS yet Im the one that seems to be CHASTISED for HAVING THE opinion of the SBC BEING THE GREATEST!!! YET IM THE ONE THAT GAVE ACTUAL FACTUAL REASONS ON WHY I THINK SO!!!! NOT HALF ASSED REASONS SUCH AS "BECAUSE I LIKE IT!!!" Now...it would seem like Im angry... I ASSURE you...IM NOT!!!!!!!!! ALL THESE CAPS and the EXCLAMATION POINTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are just to SHOW YOU folk how wrong YOU are in INTERPRETING the SITUATION!!!! ASK OF THIS TO CCAP!!!! IS HE STRESSING????!!!! Is HE CLEARLY TROLLING ME? To get a REACTION FROM ME???!!! So...who is mad about what? To show you how MAD I am NOT... A song for you folk... If I was mad...would I be able to enjoy THIS song right about NOW???!!!

Sure... But... Let me put this on another page... I think the SBC is THE greatest V8 in our modern times... I think Chevy should just KEEP that formula going in the next C8 possibly rear mid-engined Vette. Cadillac should do the DOHC thing... Anybody got a problem with that opinion? No? Anybody? OK...now lets move on!

Au contraire... YOU dont like the SBC... YOU have a problem when somebody says its the best... YOU deal with it...

because YOU did not READ why I mentioned the Silverado V8...it is ESSENTIALLY the SAME LS2 or LS3 motor that is in a Camaro or Pontiac GTO or Cadillac V Series... Because all of this...the flack I still get from YOU is essentially an OPINION of HOW I FEEL THE SBC is!!! SUBJECTIVE opinion of WHY I feel the SBC is the greatest with REASONS...VALID FACTUAL REASONS why I feel this way... If YOU wanna ignore the fact that a SBC is ENGINEERED to be a truck engine AND a sports car engine and YOU wanna hold THAT against me is well...EGG is on YOUR face... YOU are allowed NOT getting excited by the Silverado SBC...I dont hold THAT against you... But YOU dont wanna give me the SAME respect back when I say that JUST because Chevy engineers the SBC to be boring and mundane in a truck yet exploits its true potential in a Vette... YOU shove subjectivity in my face defending YOUR choice of NOT getting excitied over a SBC...the 7.0 being the sole exemption yet somehow deny MY defense....while IGNORING me saying I LOVE all what YOU love... So...who is being MORE biased? You or me? I suggest YOU read what I wrote in ALL of my posts....Every. Single. Word. I stayed TRUE all along. NEVER deviated. Just repeated the same ole same ole... Subjective you say? So...why arent I allowed to say the SBC is the greatest???!!!! There was backlash...wasnt there? For me saying that?

Sure... But when I said the SBC is THE greatest...and then DFELT agreed with me... How many times do I mention that I would restomod and pro-street ANY classic GM muscle car and swap in a SBC in it? Why was it we both got flack for saying that? Essentially...THAT would be MY opinion, right? Did I say anything negative about any other V8 during that appraisal and afterward? No. No I did not...but I do recall the backlash of me saying the SBC is the greatest though... I just gave you folk REASONS of why I thought so...and I ENCOURAGED you folk to do the same bravado talk I did by you folk DEFENDING YOUR backlash by giving me a motor that YOU deem worthy of being the greatest... Alls I got was MORE backlash of why I STILL think the SBC is the greatest... I suggest you read EXACTLY what I wrote from the get go and you will see that 'twas ME that was quite honest and NEUTRAL about the whole thing... So...all of this...and you agreeing with Cubical's last post was egg on YOUR face... I dont think I mislead anybody here with this discussion. I dont think I ever mis-represented myself, my intentions with the direction of this discussion either. And I dont think I EVER come across a blind fanboy either. After all, I LOVE me a Hellcat, or an AMG 6.2 liter Mercedes Benz CLS or E Class for the mid 2000s. Ferrari V8 love? Yeah, I got plenty of that too... I MENTION THAT as OFTEN as I can...

But...then again...half a page worth of why I think the SBC is BETTER than that AMG motor WAS made and YOU just wanna ignore it... Fine by me... You still ragin' though.
