    Ice truck.

    Well it's got an '03-'06 Silverado bumper.
  2. That is full-on sex. I would love one with black wheels.
  3. It's neat... '70s retro, instead of '50s retro...
  4. Can't see it... or was that the point?
  5. Agreed, like duh, electric cars are a complete boondoggle. They got what they deserved. Throw it out!
  6. Pure beauties, all of them... the Bonneville is like clover honey!
  7. This thread has become a fantastic reminder that color can forever hold a potential customer's attention. I hope Chevy's newfound consideration for this fact, as seen in their two smallest cars, filters upward and outward throughout GM. Who wouldn't love to have the ability to customize their new Cadillac with color? MOAR PHOTOS, PLEASE!
  8. I prefer pale yellows, if any. "Lemonade" on the Chevy Spark isn't bad, but GM's pale yellow of the 1960's is my favorite. I am sure it had different names depending on which division.
  9. So far, I've seen: New style Accents New and recent previous style Elantras New style Sonatas Genesis coupes
  10. Filled up the tank tonight. This time around: 40.1 mpg. Mileage drops off with cold weather. And, I spent $3.87/gallon, with regular gas 50 cents cheaper, at $3.37.
  11. Actually, that is not a good photo of the front end. There are clearer photos of the front out there, just didn't post them, of the Vezel in white, for example. And PA is a one-plate state, so no plate to clutter it up.
  12. So holy crap, gasoline is expected to go down in price overall in 2014, and diesel fuel is expected to go UP... holy crap... is that what I get for trying an alternative fuel vehicle? :/
  13. Since being exposed on a regular basis to Hyundai cars, something has come to light. The bumper covers are very thin plastic. Where the bumper cover attaches to the car there is a flange with holes that snap into a plastic bracket that is bolted to the fenders and quarter panels. The bumper cover comes to a point in that area... and an automatic car wash tends to grab hold of that point and break the bumper cover away from the car at the thin flange. It is a very common problem, I'm finding... including my cousin's Accent. I saw her over Xmas, and hers is broken. She thought she was responsible for hitting something, but I knew right away what happened. And they cannot be fixed, because the flange is under high stress, being at the attachment point to the car, and being so thin and cheap, it cannot be permanently repaired with adhesive. So, all these bumper covers need to be replaced, an expensive car wash, indeed. So if anyone owns a Hyundai, wash it yourself, or run it through a touchless automatic car wash, otherwise you might suffer the consequences. An example, imo, of a company that has grown too fast. They are still not mature in some areas.
  14. I agree, it is a mistake to kill either of these vans. They need both, with Dodge at the lower and sporty end, and Chrysler at the luxury end. It has worked for 30 years so far, customers don't seem to mind. Shoot, in the beginning, it was Plymouth Voyager, Dodge Caravan, and Chrysler Town & Country, so I am not sure why Fiat thinks they need to drop to one van to see it through. And I also agree that Dodge should go back to two lengths, short and long.
  15. This is gonna be a cool color, I think. And it is available in the RS as well. $225 upcharge.
  16. whoa... SCARY. I still like the Vezel, though. Better looking than a Juke by a long shot. Encore is selling pretty well, I think, but I do believe the Trax would have sold more... enough to make up for the loss of profit inherent in a Chevy price tag.
  17. JDM version of the new Fit-based crossover, the Honda Vezel. Goes on sale in the U.S., sourced from a new Mexican plant, second half of 2014... hmmm, looks sporty, love the color! Will not have the Vezel name in the U.S., I am guessing something like "CrossFit".
  18. you know... THAT JUST MIGHT WORK!
  19. I am going to attribute those two episodes to a tank of bad fuel. It hasn't given me a minute's trouble since. Still love the car.
