  1. I do recall discussion of Merc GLE/GLS, Grand Cherokee Summit and Durango also at one time..
  2. @balthazar might like this old truck on Hoovie's garage... a forest service green longbed 2wd '03 Chevy Silverado...with a manual and 6.0 V8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGRf3iXimvg&t=29s
  3. 2 years from concept announcement to production is pretty typical for many companies.
  4. I see a lot of similarity to the Velar in the shape and lines (not the details). The Velar is my favorite of the LR/RR models. The Flex I would call a CUV, I guess...the labels wagon and CUV seem to be hazy as to what is what. For example, the Volvo V90 I would call a wagon, but the XC90 I'd call a CUV or SUV... body height definitely plays into what is a wagon or CUV.....if the body height is more or less the same as an equivalent sedan, then it's a wagon IMO...
  5. I was thinking XT3 since it is closer to Encore sized. Anyway, welcome back, Drew...we've missed you!
  6. Yeah, I'm only going out once a week at most, so not seeing any classics that may be out and about.. been a stay-at-home summer.
  7. The black lower body trim certainly gives it the appearance of a slimmer profile...but I think it's more CUV tall than wagon slim...I see a bit of Lincoln Aviator in the lines, with that vertical narrowing as you go front to back.
  8. This was designed as an EV, so that's not going to happen...and we are talking about GM..it would have had a transverse 2.0 4 had it been an ICE product.. I'd love to have seen GM build a powerful V8 CUV to compete w/ the Cayenne, but that window of opportunity is past...GM's future is electric as they have stated. GM is committed to the EV future...whether they will be successful or not only time will tell...
  9. I also like how there clearly is an actual window in the C-pillar behind the door and not fake trim... they must not have let the CT5 designer near this. wagon, CUV, or non-sedan... it's interesting however it gets categorized...
  10. Sexy. I like the unique taillight treatment, the long hood, the greenhouse and proportions...
  11. I miss my '87 GT and my Dad's '69 Sportsroof..haven't see them in over 3 years. I have the titles,, though.
  12. I definitely want to check out the new Broncos once they are established. I liked the old Broncos (big and small). Looking forward to checking out the next Grand Cherokee also.
  13. Yeah... I don't see myself putting a deposit on anything new or buying the first year of a new model or generation...
  14. My work is so boring these days. But still able to bill for 40 hrs/week, thankful I don't have to commute to an office.
  15. Felt like a fall morning when I got up today...55 outside at 7 am. Sunny and 75 this afternoon, perfect weather to work on the patio. Feels more like September than August.
  16. Yeah, or perpetually not produced otherwise..I know a guy that put a deposit on an Elio which has never materialized. A former coworker that had a Volt and a Bolt put a deposit on a Model 3, and after a couple years hates it so much he's now got a deposit on a Mustang Mach E.. we'll see how that goes.
  17. details, details... I'm sure some suckers have put down deposits on them...
  18. Those Kandi cars are being launched in Texas. Think about it...a place known for long distances and huge trucks. Not the ideal market for microcars w/ limited range, I think...
  19. I was thinking about what I was doing at age 25...I was in grad school at the U of Michigan...walking all over the campus... lots of hills in Ann Arbor. Something like that might have been fun there then... had an SUV then, but a much smaller one with a manual ('88 Bronco II), and my '87 Mustang GT, also a manual..was another 5 years before I got my first automatic--my '00 Grand Cherokee.
  20. The scooter is hilarious..couldn't imagine using something like that..would have to be in a totally different reality context...maybe if I were still 25 and fit living in a crowded, flat city. But a 5000lb SUV is still my favorite urban commuter vehicle.
  21. Had to make a trip to the post office, listened to my favorite Sirus XM channels and heard these, great Big 80s tracks..
  22. ^ ocngrn
  23. ^ Pontiac Swamp Chief
  24. Pinnacol Assurance. (A worker's comp insurance company in Denver, have several friends that work/have worked there. )
  25. Time to insert standard cliche cache phrase.. 'Reality is complex' 'There are many things'
