  1. It’s a 1st gen Cayenne.
  2. Random faux woodies...
  3. Interesting how the air intake tubes at the front are asymmetrical and length and location. Strange. Everything is so tightly packed in there looks like a maintenance nightmare.
  4. Considering I previously went 17 years between buying daily drivers, I probably won't change soon...I plan to keep this current '14 Jeep to 100k..it's almost to 50k now. So I'm probably 3-5 years from looking seriously at something new/er.
  5. I assume it will be a rebodied Panda Cross... The 4x4 Panda is available with a badazz turbo 0.9L 2 cylinder among other engines..
  6. The subtitles are hysterical...
  7. How about 'Vehicle Approaching--stand back' on loop when driving in pedestrian-clogged areas?
  8. Supposed to be a heat wave today... up to 40. Was a bit sunny earlier, but cloudy now. Just a bit envious of my sister, she's starting a new 3 month gig in January in West Palm Beach. No polar vortex down there.
  9. Odd...since no more NUMMI, no more US made Corollas? I figured they had moved them to another NA plant...
  10. Sounds like it's mostly for Europe and Asia. Sized like the Fiat Panda or Suzuki Jimny.
  11. Toyota and VWAG seem to be pretty good at global products and platforms.
  12. And on the opposite end of the spectrum, they are supposedly working on Tahoe/Suburban sized models with the Ram-based Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer...but those rumors have been going around for what seems like a decade...
  13. Maybe they will come out w/ a high performance LT-1 version of the 3 cyl for a Trailblazer SS version...
  14. kilowatts, I would assume...though I see power measured in MJ also.
  15. The V8 I've had the most experience with was the old Ford 5.0... most of the vehicles I've owned have been 6s--- 3 straight 6s and two V6s. Two 4 cyls---a Ford/Mazda 2.0 diesel and a Ford 2.3, both mid 80s. Wouldn't mind having a V8 again at some point, probably a Mopar w/ a modern Hemi.
  16. Well, they have the Maybach GLS... https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/vehicles/passenger-cars/mercedes-maybach/mercedes-maybach-gls/ Well, the brand slogan is 'the best or nothing'..
  17. Wouldn't surprise me if it was intentionally leaked to create buzz....
  18. Probably an employee in a plant shakily snapped a pic w/ a cheap burner phone...or the fuzzing/darkness is a Snapchat/IG filter..
  19. Well, the good stuff is all RWD/AWD... it's only the entry level GLA and GLB that are FWD/AWD...
  20. Not sure what trim level this is, but would think the grille would be more bling...chromed or lighted rectangles or something...
  21. Will be interesting to see how the side panels and rear look...the front is too much XT6... is there any vertical lighting or just the small horizontal lights?
  22. Personally, I have very little experience w/ GM V8s---the only GM V8 I've had hands on experience with driving often was the '00 DTS w/ the Northstar V8...pretty quiet and smooth, liked it a lot. My folks '85 Winnebago had a 454, drove it a few times, I remember it had a lot of oil leaks and other issues from new. The only older GM car w/ a V8 I drove a few times about 20 years ago was my brother's '68 Camaro SS 396 w/ 4 spd. It was very loud and raw and fast..neat car.
  23. the pic reputed to be the next Escalade I saw had a front very similar to the XT6 but larger...
  24. Not bad at all..there were probably V6s and V8s with less torque around 1980...
