  1. And remember, a Durango is basically a long wheelbase 3 row WK2 Grand Cherokee with different styling. A very solid product all around though a decade old now.. 3rd gen Durango is unibody, remember it's a WK2 Grand Cherokee variation. The 1st and 2nd gen Durangos were BOF.
  2. The GLS is similar in size to the Durango. V8, 3 row. At a much higher price point, of course. It's not like Dodge is competing with M-B. The Durango competes w/ the Acadia, Traverse, Explorer, etc..
  3. How about a high performance version of the Silverado using the 6.2 supercharged 755 hp LT5 V8 from the C7 ZR-1...AWD, lowered on 22s, call it the Silverado Defecator... that would be rad.
  4. Or for the ultimate power-to-weight ratio, a Fiat 500 Hellcat.
  5. Cool..another Hellcat. They still need to do a Promaster Hellcat...;)
  6. Had to run to the post office this morning, saw a really clean maroon 1st gen Aurora.
  7. There are many things
  8. Probably...looks like a low trim level based on the limited amount of chrome on the sides. The LeSabre was also available w/ the 455.
  9. Looks like a 1970 LeSabre. Back then, 3 ventiports were on the B-body, and 4 ventiports were on the C-body (Electra). The middle model (Wildcat) usually didn't have them..
  10. Yep, I see them, the brown UPS vans and white Fed Ex vans pretty often. A couple years ago I happened to step out one morning to see an Amazon van, Fed Ex van, and UPS van parked in a row in front of my house, and a USPS truck across the street...like they had synchronized their deliveries....
  11. Maybe headroom for tall people that are long of torso? I've sat in the CT4 and CT5 and found them comfortable...
  12. Back on topic, I got a delivery from one of my favorite local places tonight, Door Dash delivery driver was driving a sharp dark red '19-20 CT6..
  13. Interesting...I could probably use those...I've pronated my whole life...
  14. Going up and down stairs with flip flops is hard enough, I wouldn't want to drive in them...and most of them aren't good orthopedically.
  15. I have a poor sense of smell, can't tell if my feet smell or not (though I shower everyday and the dogs lick my feet).. heh heh. I do have some of those shorty socks, though...wear those sometimes w/ low cut shoes.
  16. Re: socks and sandals. I’ve avoided that, not a fan of the look. I tend to wear sandals/flippy floppies without socks around the house and yard all summer, but I don’t like driving in them. I usually wear deck shoes (Rockports) without socks when I go out in the summer.
  17. There hasn't been a 5.7 V8 in a Corvette since the C5, over 15 years ago. With the C6, they first had a 6.0 V8, with a 6.2 and 7.0 in some variations..
  18. Took a drive yesterday afternoon...had to get out of the house. Went on about a 20 mile loop down through the nearby national park, saw a really clean medium green w/ white roof '60 Thunderbird, the dark blue '69/70 Grand Prix I've seen a few times, and a white '20 C8 Corvette. Was beautiful but hot and humid out.
  19. There are many vehicles in many areas
  20. The market is flooded with supercars and hypercars..about the only one I find slightly interesting is Gordon Murray's new one, it's a rather restrained design w/ a minimalist interior w/ center seat and manual transmission, ala his McLaren F-1 25 years ago..but it's another 100-unit, $3 mil garage queen/future museum piece.
  21. They sold the 405 sedan in the US through 1991. Though I don't recall seeing many...I think I saw a few in the early-mid 90s in the Boston area, and then in the late 90s in Denver. And Buick is at a dead end in NA now, just peddling generic CUVs that have nothing special over the generic CUVs sold by Chevy and GMC..
  22. Wouldn't Quebecois car shoppers like to have some French choices instead of the usual US and Asian appliances? Sounds like Peugeot left Canada the same year they left the US, 1991.
  23. I think the only way they can have any hope is to play up the French ness and embrace the weird, with some Citroen and DS models. The NA market is already crowded with forgettable CUV appliances from NA and Asian brands.
  24. C and D segment sedans would be a differentiator since the domestic big 3 have abandoned those niches. The market is flooded with generic CUVs, I don't see how they would stand out with such models.
  25. ^ Since they aren't in production, 'beating Tesla' means nothing at this point. Interesting design, though.
