If anyone would like to learn about this 0-emission GM vehicle : https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2013/12/22/sia-flashback-calvair-gms-stirling-effort/#&gid=1&pid=1

Read elsewhere that the electric T-tops was 1977, and only 2 such cars were built, this silver one & a more commonly photographed red car (both survive). Then the supplier pitched to Cadillac and got their remaining 7 sub-assemblies installed in '78 Eldorados.

Yo Drew- tell us what we're looking at here!

Audi can't move any of the regular Allroads; a perf version would sell 2 dozen/ month at best.

I do my own performance reviews, go over them with myself, then unequivocally approve myself with flying colors. I'm my best employee, I don't know what I'd do without me. • • • • •

We're still addressing 2 different points. I guess I interpreted that the Renegade was 'too big' from the O/P - it's so small as it is, it's hard to imagine anyone choosing to go even smaller.

While a sub-sub compact vehicle may well sell there, that's a different point to mine. Googling images of Rome traffic clearly show a very comparable mix of vehicles to the US: sedans, CUVs, minivans, cargo vans, and plenty of full-size city buses. I called out that the Italy-built Renegade is NOT too big for European streets in general, and it's definitely not.

0-60 is 12 seconds, the Brazilian version has 97 HP. I'm not really sure it can get up to speeds that .cd shows any benefits. But that's besides the point- it can look 50 different ways and still generate the same .cd.

Not sure what 'American-sized' is supposed to mean exactly. Like you have stated in the past, it's not 1960 anymore; every size class of vehicle is sold here, and none of the traditional attributes of US brands are really in effect; Buick hasn't offered a car "the size of a Buick" in decades. Encore is the same size as a Renegade (itself built in Italy). I feel that the sentiment is largely outmoded.

Smart's European market share is 0.7%- not sure how that translates to "so many", but maybe in Rome for some buyers; OK. It's just my Hyperbole Meter bounces hard right when I read 'need a smaller model because all European roads & cities can't fit the current tiny cars being built over the last decade'.

A Porsche 911 is 10 inches longer than a 167" Renegade. Streets in Europe apparently have been shrinking for decades- now NOTHING can be driven in ANY cities there. What a shock / shame.

Just my opinion, but that Montana is hideous.

When is the Sierra rumored to show?

Not quite- 78" tall, 102" long. I read there was a 'station wagon' version. Lots of photoshopping in that pic tho.

In a nutshell, I like the unconventional. Chalk it up to some degree of automotive boredom, perhaps. For some reason, I love really immense vehicles and really tiny ones. But unusual proportions always catch my eye. My '40 has no other choice but to be austere- I'm horny over it's lines & proportions. I slip-slapped this "4-door coupe" together in 60 seconds- I'd drive it!

'47-49 Delcar delivery vanette. wheelbase : 60" overall : 102" width : 56" height : 78" turning circle : 16' Wheels : 16" curb weight : 1200 lbs cargo volume / capacity : 1100 lbs/ 110 CF Reportedly less than 12 made, none known to exist. No modern internet pics found. Give it just a teense of decoration; some sort of simple line in the side and a emblem up front, maybe a few louvers, and I'd love to drive one.

• If he's worth $20B, I wonder how much motivation holding his pay (stock) will be. • Why is bumping the company's market value (IE: stock price) the board's focus? If there's never any profitability, there can never be a 10X increase in valuation. • Wonder if the board included any restriction on Musk dumping a major portion of his holdings?

Supply & demand. Yes- prices may well level off in the next 20 years, but if a ferrari can bring well into 7 figures, the ZL1 is a pretty good deal @ $770K. - - - - - What the hell is it spinning under the intake?

I heard steam is boiling up pretty fast.

Let's make a deal: no EV-ing anything built before 1980. Because this truck is definitely 'good stuff'... or was.
