The question posed on Toyota's website is: It all comes down to one question. Does it have the guts? Appears the answer is a resounding NO! [AutoBlog article nicely summaries the issues to date] However, I do believe their tagline of "The truck that's changing it all" is truth in advertising, just likely not the way Toyota intended.

11in of snow today. Another storming coming on Sat. Oh boy...

I like it. If they went back to a real extended cab with rear hinged doors, this could make my shopping list. Also nice Dodge still offers two-tone paint.

Winner! Infiniti QX56.

Nope.

It's brand new. Guesses?

He was bidding on a 335 coupe, but didn't win so moved onto the Infiniti. The coupe vs. sedan thing doesn't seem to be a big deal with him. He came close to buying a CTS in 2003, but he wanted a manual trans and didn't like the pump-to-set e-brake with the manual trans. Most likely GM vehicles he'll consider next are the GMC Acadia (he likes it more than the Enclave) or G8 Sportwagon. He'll get bored with the 2007 Subaru Forrester LL Bean Edition soon enough, but it's a huge improvement over its predecessor, the 2006 Ford FreeStyle AWD! [his first Ford ever]

My dad's on-again off-again relationship between BMW and Infiniti continues. He just bought a 2008 G37 Coupe on eBay -- which will replace his 2007 BMW 328xi (also from eBay). Prior to the BMW he had a 2006 G35x (plus the 2006 Acura TL 6MT which replaced his 2004 BMW 330ci 6MT Perf package car [huge buyer's remorse on that one]). It's hard to keep up, but I do enjoy getting to do personal comparison tests! He'll be 66 in the spring of '08. More photos

So, how goes the progress on the wagon?

I didn't go looking, I saw it last night in the first thread before this thread was started. Once this one was started I wondered why a second one was needed, but didn't feel compelled to point it out until you made a big deal about being the first one to post about it.

Looks like they retrofitted a 3rd brake light into it...wonder why?

That's because technically you weren't: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...st&p=346681

Early GNs had those turbine wheels.

That common-ness allows me to drive as fast as I want -- stealth. Particularly when I have to go to NJ.

Sounds like you want to do something like this: link Maybe contacting that dealer and asking some questions might help you out.

They wrecked the Eldo. Have to wait until next year to see if the GN comes back!

The GN is way cooler than the Bentley (though it did appear they wrecked it for real). Right after I posted, he gave the car away to cover his tracks and bought a beater early 80s Eldorado. Guess we'll see if this is the last episode for the GN.

I think the stripe is silver. It took a little getting used to for me, but the hidden Police lights make it look pretty badass. Pictures were hard to come by. It has the center floor console and the logo on the headrests. Based on the wheels, I'm guessing maybe it's an '85.

Anyone seen this? I love the car...show's pretty good too.

Hopefully this is really a Chevy branded Alpha being sold outside of North America similar to how the Holden Commodore is badged a Chevy Lumina in the Middle East markets. Otherwise, IMO it is a really stupid move.
