  1. If you don't watch anything else...watch this...impressive.
  2. Cybertruck and electric F150 will both be hits for the right market IMHO. Rivian seems to have no problem getting deposits. I think GM is going to ahve a hard time winning new buyers with current designs. Nothing they build is currently something I want to own either....but Kia and Hyundai seem to be doing a damn fine job brining out products that appeal to mainstream Americans. They are both a hell of a lot more modern than Toyota or Honda. Nissan is way....way....exceedingtly and excessively...behind the curve in so many ways.
  3. On a happier note... Still love ICE...would take the Gladiator over the Tacoma. More ICE love
  4. Not my cupoftea....but my sister just Bought an Escalade. It pulls off the big square body look well, and is a great vehicle. Happy for her...but what she spent would buy a Gladiator Rubicon or a Ford Raptor. They will get it right, and sell plenty. Being the First to market isn't always the best. Google Dehaviland Comet....British had an advantage in Jet passenger air travel....until initial design flaws were revealed. Beoing took the lead and never looked back....until the current fiascos with the 737 MAX. Rivan and Tesla suing each other, that won't end well at all for either of them. No. I think it will be a good product. It's just that fullsize trucks are so lucrative that I think the market will become even more competitive and see new players in the segment eventually. I am saying from a design standpoint, I don't really see them as being above the curve in any real tangible way. I damn sure wouldn't buy a Telluride but a hell of a lot of consumers would take it (and rightfully so) over anything in its segment from Ford, GM, or even Toyota.
  5. This is probably my favorite new vehicle. I think, Baltahzar can probably tell us. I had my 70 Chevelle in high school repainted from white to Firethron Red, a Cadillac color supposedly. the body shop guy who did the painting said it was the same color as on olds and Buick, Baltahzar set that one straight.
  6. There is not a single GM product right now I would personally choose over the competition. New Vette is well recieved, but would rather personally have a Shelby Mustang. I don't trust cylinder de activation tech in the Dodge of GM V8's, lots of reasons I wouldn't buy any of them. Would buy a TRD V6 Camry over the wimpy 1.5L Malibu so fast it would make your head spin. Actually Blazer and Colorado would be where I would most like to put my money were I to buy GM. Would kind of love to rock a ZR2 Colorado. But would have to talk myself out of a Gladiator Rubicon first. I do think GM will have good battery EV tech. But doing this with any midsize truck....Glaidator, Ranger, Colroado, Tacoma...would be Epic. Leaving out ridgeline because its AWD system is more oriented to on road use.
  7. This on the other hand is pure sex on wheels. Love GMC. 5.3 L V8
  8. Agree entirely. Look at how KIA and Hyundai are leading in SUV's. The only thing that might save north American truck production is if Rivian or Tesla can build EV';s. Otherwise, sadly, I think eventually someone else will figure out how to capture even that market from the domestics. They are sort of Pigs, but even the Tundra is having a cult following.
  9. Whatever happened with the self driving cars everyone promised? And as for the Canoo....maybe Blu can take his Canoo When he goes with his Canoe to go hiking...but I am sure it would haul a kayak also. Obligatory ICE in the Electric thread...
  10. Good luck. Any thoughts about how much you like the 4WD system on this?
  11. I love those!
  12. It still looks fantastic. Given the venom between members here, I am just going to pretend it's powered by unicorn farts and enjoy the nice Chevy truck. Again, damn impressive economy. Kudo's to GM. Makes me think if a used Zr2 comes up...I would dump big tires under it and kill the fuel economy. Let's just be honest.
  13. That's darned fine for a midsized truck. Esp 4WD. Still like this thing. Obviously have a thing for midsize trucks. It deserves a good rest. Still love this thing.
  14. Yeah. that was a killer combo.
  15. Toyota is indeed selling lots of hybrids, seeing lots of Camry and RAV4 hybrids around here.
  16. Drunken was the Miata that fornicated with a cardboard box to make this atrocity. Hard pass. And this from our resident sport compact guy. Or more tequila until it looks good. Lipstick on a pig. See, I actually sort of like the supra. Would take a Mustang GT over the supra though.
  17. Patina with clearcoat...and an interesting electric motor video. I really like the Cutty's better with the square headlights, actually. That 70's GM maroon...Cadillac called it Firethorn red...Fantastic. ...and yeah...I miss 1970's cars. Cutty in green...
  18. It's cousin is no slouch in yellow.. Obviously...even Toyotas have thier limits... Speaking of yellow...
  19. I can appreciate that. Ford has such nice blues, would love that in blue. People want grey, silver, black or white anymore for the most part anyways. Cactus Grey in the bronco has really grown on me. Snazzberry looks good on gladiator/Wrangler. Focus ST is another car that looks good in Orange. Best looking orange car ever, IMHO.
  20. Always liked odd colors on 60's Pontiacs. Iris mist 65 GTO would be the bomb. I love it. See I would buy it in the orange. Actually, in a wierd reversal of things....I would trade it in on a Raptor. Ford has a color called Blue Jeans which looks fantastic. The Bowns of the 70's were fantastic. 70's green looks good also IMHO. Although hard to go bad with basic black.
  21. I like this pair, father and son... Thjey ahve a lot fo fun, make a lot of sense...
  22. Hella yella looks good on the new 2020/2021 Wrangler. Orange looked good on the 69 Camaro and SS 396 Chevelle, 69 Judge, etc. As much as I am going to wash my fingers with soap for even typing this, the Kia Soul looks fantastic in bright colors (Horse heads for soap for typing this...) Depends on the vehicle. Some Street rods look good in yellow or Orange....the Coupe from American Graffiti for example. I can see why Yellow would be a poor choice on a HD Diesel truck. Or a B59. But Mayfair Maze was a fantastic color for 1960's Pontiacs. But 1960's Pontiacs and 1930's Fords are some of the most aestheically pleasing vehicles ever built...they would still look good covered in cow shit for that matter. And with a two tone white, GMC/Chevy trucks of the 67/72 Era looked good in orange. Or the period Yellow. I would rock one without complaint.
  23. That moment when you realize your Chevy work truck and your McLaren F1 have been getting it on between the sheets.... ...and they looked good in every single one of them.
  24. One of the guys I used to autocross with had a huge collection of restored vingage bicycles. Was really cool. Haven't seen that dude for years.
