Mercedes Unveils the GLB Concept :Comments
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Auto Shanghai
For the women that lease these appliances, 1 engine choice is enough. The XT* aren't performance vehicles, just FWD/AWD generics. -
The CTS cargo volume is 13.7 cubic feet, this looks like it has a smaller trunk. Slightly bigger than the ATS, which is 10.4 cubic feet.
-
The turbo 4 seems fine to me in a hot hatch like a Focus RS, but I've always associated performance Mustangs w/ V8s...
-
Yeah, though my brother's 79 Indy Pace Car edition w/ the 5.0 (140hp) and '82 GT felt reasonably fast to me when I drove them years ago. But my '87 GT felt faster.
-
Oh I know; it was 88 hp. And loud and buzzy. I'm sure the new one is smoother. My '87 GT 5.0 had/has 225hp (I think the 82 5.0 was only 160 hp), and the new 5.0 has 460hp.... I'd still rather have an N/A V8 than a turbo 4.
-
Yeah, I'd want a V8. When I think 4cyl Mustang, I think of my '86 LX which felt really underpowered w/ the 2.3. I know today's 2.3 has plenty of power, but it's still just a 4cyl.

I'm happy w/ my CPO JGC.

Mercedes Unveils the GLB Concept :Comments

I like the concept interior, esp. in brown. The exterior is nice, not the mini-G-class as was rumored. -
Watches are interesting as jewelry, but have no purpose in the era of cell phones...haven't worn one in at least 10 years...though I have a few. With dead batteries.

Interior of Mercedes-Benz GLB Concept Rendered :Comments
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Auto Shanghai
The GLB concept exterior and interior look pretty nice... exterior isn't too boxy. -
it's similar to but different from the 2015 China market Cruze. Which is similar to but different from the 2nd gen US Cruze. The white China Cruze looks better because it doesn't have the cheesy black C-pillar trim that GM loves.
-
The China market Cavalier is available in Mexico where it replaced the Sonic..don't know if they are shipping it from China or not. From what I've read, it's a rebodied 1st gen Cruze. It's now Chevy's largest sedan in Mexico (they used to sell the Cruze, Malibu and Impala there but not now apparently). https://www.chevrolet.com.mx/autos/cavalier-auto-familiar

I like the GLS styling..evolutionary, not revolutionary. Clean, uncluttered. Nice interior. They have G-class for those that want a bling wagen.

Chevrolet News:GM Confirms and Teases Mid-Engine Corvette
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
A sports coupe based on the Stinger and a luxury sports coupe version of the G70 for Genesis would be really cool, but I don't see it happening. -
Chevrolet News:GM Confirms and Teases Mid-Engine Corvette
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
That would be a different car, different architecture...I doubt if GM would be investing in two different Corvette architectures at once. It sounds like they are going all-in on mid-rear. It's a risky move. I'm sure they will lose a lot of long time customers that don't like mid-rear cars...but gain new customers. I can imagine a lot of the old farts griping that it looks like a 'fancy furrin' car''.. -
Chevrolet News:GM Confirms and Teases Mid-Engine Corvette
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
One recent article I saw said that the C7 production would end by June and the last one will be auctioned off, so the C7 and C8 will not likely be sold concurrently as rumored. Supposedly the base trim C8 will have a 500hp V8 and dual clutch transmission according to another article. https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/with-the-mid-engined-2020-c8-corvette-set-to-debut-chevy-will-auction-off-the-very-last-c7-corvette-ar185178.html We will have to wait and see what pans out, definitely seems like the biggest change in the Corvette's long history. The C8 will likely attract a different buyer than the C7, will be interesting to see how it does..will be one of the cheapest mid engine sports cars on the market. -
Chevrolet News:GM Confirms and Teases Mid-Engine Corvette
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
The profile reminds of the Ferrari 360 and 430, but with some squared off elements..going to be interesting to see how it looks in person. -
It was a great show. He didn’t do either of those songs, but focused on songs from his solo career. Very loud, high energy blues rock. I had a 5th row seat. Hard to believe he’s 74, ferocious on a Fender Stratocaster.

GMC News: GMC CarbonPro Bed Start Production In June
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in GMC Trucks
Are the bed outer panels steel or some sort of composite on these? -
Since seeing Don Felder in concert a couple weeks ago, I've been listening to a lot of Eagles..always liked their '70s LA country-rock sound...
