Hey man, you okay? Rest and get better before feeding us stuff we don't need but just want. -
I do admire a company willing to shrink a vehicle rather than continue to just blow it up until it fits the next class up...like everything else ever made save for the Miata.

Navigator has IRS. It barely gives additional legroom in that and the Expy. The packaging of the Acadia is huge. GM should have never indulged people with it. Bottom line is that it looks like they have repackaged it in a way that won't effect the interior room very much at all.. while giving the second row occupants more room. The give-up is in the cargo area. Also.. due to the availability of the Long WB of the upcoming Enclave, if GM sees the need they can certainly intro a LWB Acadia in the way they did with the Envoy.. this vehicle rightful ancestor There is 3 inches more legroom in the Expy than the Subruban(3rd row). 37.7in vs 34.5in The current Traverse has 33.2in of 3rd row leg room. Take that how you'd like. I just looked it up because I was curious when I read what you said Casa.

As long as its solid axle, there will never be " much more independent suspension at each wheel. " And that goes for the Ram 1500 coil over suspended solid axel too. Disagree, the Trucks that are raced at the various Bahaa races use independent suspension. After all this is a Raptor, not a work hauling truck. I get where leaf springs and everything solid makes sense but I question them not fully supporting the inspiration for this truck. A real racing truck. It is also a truck made for more than just racing in the desert and an independent rear end would likely sacrifice those other things just to hop some runes at 100mph. The balance would seem to shift without enough reward, imo. After all, people still use them as actual trucks. I've seen a few hooked up to trailers.

This was a reply in the "comments" section when somebody else said the same thing. I don't know much about off roading but it does make sense. "Independent suspension degrades off-road performance. An articulated solid axle will lift the vehicle up over obstacles. Even the Humvee, with 37" tires and 16" of ground clearance could get hung up with its independent suspension. The solid rear axle gives good payload and towing characteristics along with very little maintenance."

Yeah, I'm curious what it looks like in a black or dark brown.

Right?!?! I saw it last night during the college football championship game and was literally just impressed, all around. Gave props for the D3 leading the way and all. I know it is all just marketing but this made me want the truck to be a little more successful now.
-
I thought this was actually a very awesome commercial by Nissan. Props to them.

Now that we have a budget(!!!!! - lol ) I think the Trailblazer is also a good option. My dad had an Envoy XL and the only thing to go wrong with it was the catalytic converter went out on it in the ~130k miles he owned it. That Taurus X/Freestyle is also a good idea. It seems there are plenty under 100k miles and under $8k as well. I'm not sure how much room you need or size in general that you want but my buddy has an HHR and when the seats are folded down there is a lot of room for a smaller vehicle and it gets much better fuel economy than the larger vehicles that have been brought up. I'm not sure how you feel about the previous generation Escapes but they seem to be in the ballpark as well. Dodge Nitro..? This is an odd one for me. I'm not used to looking up something to practical and useful..lol

First, Thanks dfelt! I was actually going to ask if anybody could do an over-under of the two! You read my mind. Second, It still sounds like it will be a fantastic car. " These seats can be adjusted in 30 different ways and modified based on an individual’s body shape and weight for optimal comfort. Lincoln’s Perfect Position Seats come with independent thigh extensions, heating, cooling, and massaging functions. Rear seat passengers can also expect to be pampered because the second row reclines and includes heating, cooling, and massaging features. " This is part of the door handle comment.. still not sure how I like how they look. I need to see a picture of JUST the handle to really decide. : " Traditional door handles have also been ditched in favor of a new E-latch door release that’s integrated within the beltline. The doors are opened with a push of a button and can be automatically closed thanks to an available power cinching feature."
-
Hmmm... I'm not sure how much I like those squinty headlights...
-
Agreed, dfelt. I LOVE the interior but the outside is a little on the bland side. I actually think those pictures make the car look smaller than the concept pictures. I think that is part of what is making it seem underwhelming to me.
-
Bad-freakin-ass.
-
I like it. I'm also fine with the "same sausage, different lengths" though. I mean that's how all of the Germans and Cadillac are, really. There isn't a huge differentiation from an A4 to an A8 style-wise, nor 3 to 7 and ATS to CT6.
-
Sport Edge, Sport Fusion, Sport Explorer and maybe soon, Sport Escape. Looks nicely sorted to me. It appears that 325hp in a Fusion is not worthy of a Ford Performance branded badge. Needs more than that I guess. Good point. I hadn't realized that I guess.
-
So the "sport" Fusion never got an ST badge? Man, Ford needs to sort that crap out if you ask me..
-
Wouldn't it be more Cherokee..? Yes, this is Cherokee sized wow, the photo makes it look smaller than the Cherokee. Cool info, Thanks Yeah, I thought it was larger because the current one is the smallest of the escape/crv/cx5/etc... and it said it grew a little so it is probably much more comparable now, not that it was that much smaller before.
-
Yes, I know he isn't the cleanest player in the league. I acknowledged that already, nor was the hit. And unless you show something that is more clear than the picture and slow motion video showing the majority of the blow was shoulder to Brown's head then you're wrong... Show some clearer proof of helmet to helmet. Seriously, I'm not trying to be a dick. I just don't see the helmet to helmet hit. If I'm missing something I'll say you're right but just saying I am wrong isn't proof that he hit him with the crown of his helmet like the Ryan Shazier hit.
-
Look at that picture, you can clearly see they are staggered. It is very much debatable unless you have a picture that shows the helmet to helmet contact, which, I'm not saying didn't happen. I'm saying the serious blow to the head came from his shoulder. http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=15272432 The link on that page has it slowed down..somewhat.. Not as much as I'd like but I'm having a tough time finding one really slowed down.
-
It was WAAAAAAY more shoulder than helmet. I don't think Burfict's helmet actually made contact with Brown. Okay, looking at replays it's super tough to tell but he didn't lower the crown of his helmet into Brown, dirty, yes. I still don't think it is AS dirty as the hit on Bernard. That's just my opinion on it though. You can see that if there was helmet to helmet contact it was a scrape and not a crown of the helmet to the receiver. It was nearly all shoulder that did the damage, still illegal. I just want to clarify that I know it is an illegal hit but I think the other play was actually dirtier.
-
I hope you're not talking about this hit. http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/01/09/giovani-bernard-hard-hit-steelers-bengals-video Leading with the crown of your helmet is not legal. This didn't get called as it was a RB not a WR but it was still a penalty that was not called and as dirty(dirtier - IMO) of a hit as the Burfict play. Burfict didn't lead with his helmet to hit Brown.

Saw my first wild Tacoma! I couldn't get a frontal pic as I started moving...
-
Sorry for your loss, bud.
-
Wouldn't it be more Cherokee..?

For 20k you get a supercharger and intercooler.. and a keyshain? I understand a warranty comes with it but that's a lot of coin for a supercharger and an intercooler.
