April (Fools) Carspotting - cars and/or fools
Robert Hall replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
Another spotting of sorts...for Easter Brunch we took Uber, and the driver going downtown was driving a silver Saab 9-5 Sportcombi. It was in really clean condition for something 10+ years old. Felt smooth on the freeway and over potholed Cleveland streets from the backseat...driver coming back had a Pacifica w/ the power sliding doors.. nice inside. -
Yeah, that era of Lincoln dash design looked pretty similar to Ford dashes, and there was a bland sameness to the layout and center stack across many models..
-
Yes, ditch the mediocre FWD platform, move to the Explorer/Aviator RWD/AWD platform and make some serious sedans that are CT5 and CT6 sized or larger..

Interesting...going full circle on the name. RWD/AWD on the new Explorer platform would make sense...
-
I do wonder if Lincoln has any plans for new sedans..would be weird to see it become a CUV/SUV only brand.
-
Speaking of Lincoln and restyles and renamings, I wonder what will become of the MKZ...
-
Yeah, The link to the actual dealer listing (seems to be gone now) said it was $36k or there abouts....The MSRP is a fake price, then they put in the discounts to make it look better...
-
Current Edge dates to 2015, had a minor MCE for 2019. The Nautius is basically a carryover from the MKX, updated w/ the new Lincoln front fascia..the dash in it looks dated compared to the Corsair, Aviator and Navigator.
-
The Nautilus just came out for 2019, but still has the old Ford-style dash from the MKX...wonder when it will get a refresh to look more like the newer CUVs.

I should have taken a pic...couldn't find it on the ICMDB. -
Saw Ford trademarked that name.

Rumor has it the Baby Bronco will be named Bronco Scout.

Saw a gray Chevy Bolt at the grocery yesterday, one of a very few I've seen around here. This afternoon in a food coma from Easter Brunch, lying on the sofa watching an old movie about WW II in the Philippines saw an unusual truck in the movie...had a squared off cab w/ a C-shaped door opening like a mid 20s Model T, but a late 30s Ford truck front end w/ oval grille. -
I remember that with my diesel Escort and my Bronco II..gutless wonders on hills w/ the A/C on. With the Bronco II was particularly noticeable in Colorado..it was scary slow on steep sections on I-70 in the mountains...
-
Probably...don't know, don't care. When I need A/C, I use it.
-
I guess they kept the interior materials cheap to maximize profit...now I wonder if it will be priced competitively or if they will price gouge? So how does this compare to the Equinox in size? Looks tiny...
-
I can't imagine anyone buying a family sedan like the Sonata would care about the HP, torque or 0-60. This is functional point A to point B transportation.
-
XC40 looks very substantial in person, despite it's compact dimensions. Seems like a solid, stylish product inside and out...
-
I really like the looks of that E-class coupe. More so than the S-class coupe which looks like the roof is too small for the body from some angles.
-
The mainstream multitudes that buy Toyotas want predictability and consistency in their leased transportation products. .
-
That passenger side dash trim wedge is a common motif seen on countless modern vehicles.
-
I took my '00 GC off road in Colorado a week after I bought it new. But that's how it is in Colorado. I remember seeing lots of GCs on the high country trails. I'm sure it's still a small percentage of owners, though. In generic suburbs, the typical SUV owner with 2.5 kids probably rarely goes on anything rougher than a gravel road...
-
For these luxury SUVs, it's probably less than 1% of owners that take them off road, and in the US it's mostly in Colorado and a few other western states, I would presume..
-
Interesting...I kind of like the blue, but don't care for the gray. If it were all blue, that might be interesting. I see they are doing the white trim like on the blue interior Navis...
