  1. It's definitely sweet... but this '47 Buick is a 'phantom'- Buick didn't build a 3-window coupe in this era. Sure wish they did- the coupe has tremendous 'back'. ?
  2. Nissan should have had a competitor for the SIlverado in 1980, not 2004 (BTW; still not a competitor). Point being- I don't believe OEMs are putting the bloa-funked murano up as a target for product planners. Nissan's non-car sales ace is the rogue; everything else in their trucklet portfolio does so-so.
  3. Murano is selling barely over twice the rate of the Armada. It could slide off into oblivion and I doubt many people would notice/care.
  4. • 1980's edition Avanti, black, exc shape, rollin. • '57 Bel Air 2-dr hardtop, white over champagne, perfect restoration, rollin.
  5. Yeah- they pretty much do... but that's fine & understandable. Unfortunately for my opinion, brands should be able to build models that don't HAVE top look like their other models with all the same 'cues'. Most don't, however.
  6. General Motors has 4 facilities in Mexico and 40 in the U.S.. Fort Wayne & Flint are online to build the next Silverado/Sierra, and fully 80% of GM pickups sold in the U.S. are built in the U.S..
  7. So it's basically telling people around you that you're still alive, via a sticker. And all this time I've just been sporadically screaming out the truck window.
  8. What is the sentiment, exactly?
  9. Not in 1948- article states that the unrestored one has 'crispy' wiring... IE; susceptible to shorts due to deterioration from being 70 years old. I know that well from the original wiring that WAS in my '40. Cloth wrapping gets brittle/dry and falls apart.
  10. Amazing progress. Hope major advantages are realized for US manufacturers.
  11. Not that; talk about unfair import tariffs / company partnering in the Chinese market. That's years and years and years ongoing. Chinese import tariffs were (until minutes ago) 25%; the same rate being characterized as a "trade war" from the US side of the issue.
  12. Talk about these issues far precedes April tho.
  13. I want a Cadillac about 10 inches longer and 3 inches wider than the Ct6. Whether the next gen CT6 grows in size, or a 'CT8' appears, I'd like to see a range topper noticeably larger. As for pricing, overlap already occurs everywhere. Doesn't the E63 overlap the S550 by 10 or 15 grand?
  14. ^ Hmmm; an admittance that protectionism 'doesn't work'? Or a gesture towards lessening an existing trade war? ?
  15. Customers and other road users are already at risk with autonomous driving cars, tho. So far anyway.
  16. I'm still standing here talking, and now you're way across the cornfield talking at the sky. We were talking size, now you're wrapped up in price. All I said is, there's room above the CT6 in size at Cadillac. Do I prefer 10,000 CT6 per year, or 100,000? 10,000 every time, as long as it's profitable.
