  1. That is a really good looking green Regal. Tin top, sport mirrors, the colour combo, plus one of the best looking OEM wheels ever, the Buick Road Wheel. Where did we go wrong? The '76-'77 GM A and A-Special cars were like the summit and it was downhill from there.
  2. BMW is not serving their customers properly. Diesel is much more useful and worth the money v. the distinct disadvantages of a PHEV setup.
  3. That looks like the Elevation model, which is a sporty base model. I think it is extended cab (double cab) only.
  4. It would not be so "nasty" with the chrome bumper/alloy wheel package and the 5.3. It would be the one I'd buy.
  5. I just discovered something. In the GM Online Order guide, under "All-New Silverado FLEET" and "All-New Sierra FLEET" they list a regular cab... but not in the non-fleet section. I will need clarification on this because if it is true it is a crappy way to treat customers. A regular cab cannot be sold to an individual??
  6. New Blazer YAY! I had no idear those convertibles were so rare!
  7. I don't really care for BMWs, but if I did, I would have an X1 over this weird looking thing any day. And I would have a Q3 over an X1 any day.
  8. New Chevy Blazer has been added to the order guide! https://www.gmfleetorderguide.com/NASApp/domestic/proddesc.jsp?year=2019&regionID=1&divisionID=1&type=0&vehicleID=21678&section=modelhome&page=&butID=1
  9. I cannot tell from here, is that an Autocar, White, Diamond T, or some other kind of truck checking the junk in the Ford's trunk? How come it's all guys ogling it?
  10. Like dfelt said, give me one in dark green in an extended cab Duramax. I find it funny they'd go to the trouble to point out the obvious... that it has a steel bumper (LIKE THE NEW FORD RANGER... WINK WINK). No snorkel for me. Too gay. I like the grille and bumpers on this better than the ZR2 actually. Honestly I think the ZR2 looks like someone who lost their lower jaw in a horrific accident. This model would be the perfect springboard for GM to utilize their 2.7L turbo in the smaller truck, then let it trickle down to the more mainstream models. Of course then they'd need to upgrade the 2.8L Duramax.
  11. Genesis is a bust. A miscalculation. This pipedream... won't help.
  12. Just last Saturday, I test drove a 2019 Colorado Z71 extended cab at a local dealer. They offered me what I thought was a fair deal to trade my Jeep on it. I could tell immediately that the newer version of the 3.6, coupled with the 8 speed auto, is a real improvement over my 2015 Colorado. I left the dealership to head to the bank to pull money out while they were to clean it up and remove the front air dam. But when I got to the bank I sat in my Jeep and came to the conclusion that I should not go through with the purchase, so I rushed back and let them know, before they altered the truck. With an MSRP of $36,395, they were going to sell it to me for $34,000. Those who've been around here a while know that is unusual for me to walk away from a chance to drive something new. I've had so many new vehicles. At 27,500 miles, I instead decided to put a new set of tires on my Jeep, as the OEM Firestones have been problematic. I sprung for Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S, in the stock size of 225/60R17. They have considerably improved the driving feel of my vehicle, and although I was concerned about a drop in fuel mileage with all-terrain tires, it has not materialized so far according to my DIC. And they toughen up the looks just a little bit. I've heard nothing but good reviews from people I know who use this tire. Then I saw on cars.com a dealership in Annapolis, MD is selling 2019 Ram Quad Cab Hemi Big Horn 4X4s, MSRP over $44k, for $34k. I realize there is not as much room to deal, pricewise, on a Colorado as a fullsize, but suddenly I felt like the Colorado deal was not so great after all. FCA must be telling dealers to sell as many Rams as possible since the competition is suddenly so hot among fullsize trucks. I would love to have the Ram at that price, for sure, but the reality is it will not fit in my garage, and the fuel mileage, even with the 3.21 rear end, would likely not top 20 MPG, and with my commute, I would definitely feel the hurt. Good luck in your search, Olds Guy. The Ram 1500 is a sweet rig. GM rarely has any favorable lease terms that I've seen.
  13. So you're (note proper use of apostrophe) not planning on any unplanned events?
  14. These miniscule ranges for the price of these trucks makes me laugh. It NEEDS to be used on a very tight route with NO unplanned events or they're SCREWED. Same old story, blah blah blah.
  15. To whom? Nowhere near a game changer. Still mired in the same swamp all electrics are stuck in. A joke. Open your eyeballs.
  16. I suspect there are several vinyl graphics companies already working on a "CHEVROLET" decal kit for the embossed tailgate on the new trucks.
  17. Prices for 2019 Silverado/Sierra regular cabs have been added to the NADA site. Here's "mine" : Silverado WT regular cab long bed 4X4 5.3 All-terrain "P" tires WT Convenience Pkg Chrome bumper/alloy wheel Pkg Trailering pkg G80 locker Spray-on bed liner $39,585
  18. Not everyone wants them though. People want what they want. This is why CAFE is stupid. Companies that sell vehicles that their customers want should be able to comply... with customer wants and needs.
  19. *Galaxie
  20. Too darn awesome!
  21. Two Fiero GTs, one faded red, stock appearing, parked, the other a beautiful dark green, immaculate with a slight widebody kit and dark windows, distinctive 60-degree V6 growl on a four lane highway. ?
  22. LOL trina were you serious?
  23. Yes, get new batteries for that daggone clock!
