    That Citroen Karin and Aston Martin Bulldog were the first concepts I thought of when I saw the Cybertruck...way cool.

    Nice..I remember that red lighting from an '05 rental I had over a long weekend in Oregon and the 7 hours of terror going 25 miles in an ice storm...maybe the scariest white knuckle driving I've ever done...driving freeways covered in ice w/ no plowing or salting.

    Well, they are only 20 units apart..easy mistake. GM does some odd stuff in how they use w/ alphanumeric trim names and packages...consider ZR1 and ZR2...1 digit different, yet products so different...

    Z51 has been a performance package on the Corvette for ages..

    Yeah, i think she'd be more inclined to get a 'Nox..she's been renting them in Boston the last few months while on a gig up there. Her Trax is a '15 w/ 15k, FWD..she hates driving it in heavy freeway traffic esp. in winter, too light and underpowered...that's why bought her hooptie STS.. all depends where the next gig is, sick of flying for work every week.

    Or a BP station. Their gasoline nozzles are green. As seen on the FB...

    Yeah, global economy and marketplace. My Jeep was built in Detroit but I think the Pentastar V6 was built in Mexico and the transmission in Germany. My iPhone, iPad and Mac were probably built in China. My Samsung HDTVs probably in SK....my sister's Chevy in SK. Stuff is sourced from many locations. That's the reality of the modern world.

    Many things are made in many places. Commerce is complex.

    It looks pretty good for the subcompact class.... have to see them at the dealers when they come out, my sister might like one...she's talked about maybe trading her Trax on a 'Nox...

    Relaxing on the sofa w/ the furs after a delicious meal at Table 45...food coma. Our Uber downtown was a black w/ black interior Suburban and the return was a black w/ black interior Yukon Denali... love those big GM boats.

    Maybe he was referring to the new Tesla Roadster due in the future. Supposed to have outrageous statistics...like 0-60 in less than 0 seconds or something... ?

    This one reminds me of a lot late 60s-early 70s Hot Wheels and Tonka truck designs, cab forward w/ big wrap around windows.

    Strange times when engines that small are becoming commonplace...

    The car from Black Moon Rising (1986)..

    She was a hottie, more late 60s and 1970s.

    Heh heh...I have no idea how he jumped from future SUVs to Marilyn....her time was long ago and before my time, but of the 1950s women I'd prefer Suzy Parker, Ava Gardner or Sophia Loren....
  18. Robert Hall
    I assume you are being facetious... anyway, I didn't realize GM was currently doing CVTs in anything.
  19. Robert Hall
    More like a 1985 movie depicting the year 2000.. Something from 1948 would be a rounded blob. Actually, the Aston's rear carries over the styling themes from their cars...look at the rear of the DB 11 and other current A-Ms...

    I suspect my brother (who has owned at least dozen Mustangs over 50 years) wouldn't like it.

    It's futuristic in that it looks like it's a prop from a sci fi movie...more futuristic than the hideous Silverado HD, for example, which looks like most any other truck of the last 20+ years but with an uglified front end. One aspect of the Cybertruck that is very different is the low, pointy front end and sloped back windshield instead of the usual overwrought grille and bloat of a mainstream truck. I do wonder if we will see sleeker trucks emerge, EV and otherwise, instead of the overwrought, blunt fronts that pervade trucks now.

    How about the Neuron EV T-One? Yet another EV truck concept. Very different from the Cybertruck. Interesting cab forward front, kind of like older vans. https://www.autoblog.com/photos/neuron-ev-t-one-electric-pickup/
  23. Robert Hall
    Kind of retro futuristic. But definitely futuristic compared to production trucks.
  24. Robert Hall
    The Cybertruck is a very futuristic design, a radical departure from the usual 3 box design of pickups. It will be interesting to see how different the production model will look.
  25. Robert Hall
    Not unlike how station wagons were in olden days, most of them stuck to the same general silhouette...the design limited by the need for the rear seat and cargo area....the bold coupe SUVs get around the 2 box design with a fastback hatch shape. And the design doesn't work well with mid- or rear-engined layouts because of the need for cargo space. Similar issues with pickup trucks--design limited usually by a vertical rear window and bed.
