    Still a toy. As much as new vehicles cost, a thinking person needs to make practicality a priority.

    This is government intrusion at its absolute worst. And it goes against what customers want. Totally out of sync with the market.

    Volkswagen was giving millions of satisfied, loyal owners what they want... a good running, efficient, durable diesel engine. The problem is government regulations, not Volkswagen. And to hell with all this hybrid/electrification crap. It is impractical and will remain so for 90% of the country for the foreseeable future. Bottom line.

    Simplicity is key to making a durable truck. Plus... nobody makes a large hybrid SUV any more because there is no measurable benefit to them. No one bought them, and not just from GM... from no one.

    OK cool I guess but the whole thing is ruined for me when I can clearly see the blank spot in the grille where "GMC" goes, scribbled over with the Holden lion. Chintzy, not Professional Grade at all.

    I think the triple fuselage also had something to do with what they said inspired them. None of the predecessors of the P-38 that you posted had triple fuselage.

    Dude did you read the book excerpt? It states that the GM guys were shown the P-38 in 1941 when it was brand new and that is the plane that led them to fight for and implement fins on the Cadillac starting in 1948... car designs gestate years before they are released to the pubic. How are you SURE Bill Mitchell and his cohorts knew about German aircraft before being inspired by the P-38? Even if they did, maybe the German aircraft did not float their stylistic boats... the German planes you post do not look like the P-38 with its triple fuselage. This is a silly fight over a perfectly legit trivia thread.

    Linda, LISTEN... let me ax you something, are you saying that those memoirs are LIES? The OP is simply axing a question based on his research, and it is pretty widely known amongst car geeks which plane inspired those guys. Whoever heard of a WTF110 anyway?

    This is even more subtle, and I'm not saying I think it should be this subtle, but it still protrudes from the quarter panel, it is not fully flush.
  11. ocnblu
    These taillights most certainly protrude from the quarter panels. They are a subtle, honest throwback. Plus, whether the P-38 was a successful airplane is irrelevant. The P-38 is the specific aircraft that inspired GM designers to incorporate fins onto the Cadillac car.

    I'm going to defend Dodgefan on this. He asked for the specific aircraft that inspired GM designers, AND he said the trend continues in a subtle way. He's correct on both counts.

    I applaud auto manufacturers who make an effort to give people on a tight budget a decent car. I like this new version of the Rio.

    Well I love the 4.3... but EVERY OTHER MIDSIZE TRUCK has an OHC engine. Also, none have an electric motor. Way too girly.
  21. ocnblu
    ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?
  22. ocnblu
    Well I guess
  23. ocnblu
    Look how sweet this is. 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS coupay in light blue. Easy to love!
  24. ocnblu
