    I assume they studied the sales numbers of the previous gen regular cab short bed and determined it wouldn't generate enough profit to offer it here in the new generation.

    That is a sweet Durango...I like that color combo. I saw a derelict 2nd gen Durango this morning, black with lots of crunchy body rust..the rear hatch was mashed in and had rusty frills at the bottom edge, but the Hemi badge remained. Those 2nd gen models were so ugly and lumpy.

    'Ballin on a budget'

    Well, two GM brands have French roots--directly and indirectly. As an aside, for French-Canadian singers I prefer Mylene Farmer, and for French musicians/bands I like M83 and Kavinsky.

    Being Italian one would expect the Stelvio to be of low quality and poor reliability, but high style. At least they aren't known for catching fire spontaneously like Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

    I assume they are just being cheap...

    I could see having an Alfa as a lease for 3 years, wouldn't want one as it ages..

    Well, the Mazda 2 sedan was already here as the Scion iA, so the current one was just a rebadge for the US market.
  9. Robert Hall
    The current Yaris sedan is a Mazda 2, the US market hatch was a Toyota. I don't think we ever got this restyled version, in orange it would look like a demented Jack-o-Lantern.
  10. Robert Hall
    Yes, but I assume this is just another example of GM being cheap.
  11. Robert Hall
    Well, it is a rebadged Mazda..Mazda always has plenty of features available.

    I sat in the Accord, Civic and Insight at the auto show last month, I like the look of the current Accord and Insight..very clean and nicely detailed around the lighting and trim. I like the interiors, and it seems with the Insight they went out of their way to excise any hybrid weirdness from the design...they seem like a pleasant place to spend time.

    I wonder if those are still old GLE or a mix of old and new sales...and probably old CLA (the new one isn't on sale yet in the US?).

    Haven't seen a Telluride in the wild yet, but thought they looked really good in person at the auto show last month.

    Saw a bright red 2019 Blazer today, the first one I've seen on the road. Though it wasn't on the road exactly--riding on the back of a rollback wrecker, looked like it had had a pretty hard shunt--front end was mangled and the left front wheel ripped off..

    Well, Honda hasn't given up on sedans like other short-sighted car companies have, so it makes sense they gain as others cut cars..

    I went to a few drag races at Bandimere Speedway outside Denver about 15-20 years ago, I'm more of an Indy Car, IMSA and NASCAR fan but I enjoyed it.

    Alas, Nissan's reputation these days in the US is cheap cars w/ CVTs. They long ago lost their mojo here.

    I saw some of that last night...and the damn semi trucks..I-71 northbound was pretty bad from south of Mansfield up to I-271 (which was even worse--25mph and one lane clear)... two barely plowed lanes, I'm in the right lane following a line of cars maybe going 45...and a semi blasts past in the left lane covering me in spray.. glad my Jeep is 5000 lbs w/ AWD w/ good tires...a small light vehicle would be buffeted around.

    I thought it was, the rear window looks pretty slopey and it has a fixed B-pillar. I know there was a 2dr ht, was there a 2dr non-fastback sedan also? Or maybe not...this Special fastback below ooks different. Though that angle and lighting of the green one it's hard to tell.. (I think there were two different body series for '50 Buicks, like B- and C- bodies?) The stupid posts got merged...hate that feature sometimes.. Woke up a few min ago to this.. guess I put the snow thrower away too soon..crazy, was about 62 here yesterday and 73 down in Athens.
  21. Robert Hall
    Those late 40s-early 50s frumpy humpies are pretty wild.. I kind of like the '50 Buick look.

    A pic of my Jeep in a parking garage in Athens, Oh about 5 hours ago. Drove 8 hrs round trip though lousy weather for a concert Sat evening. 3 1/2 hrs of rain driving down there, 60 degrees and damp on the OU campus, then 4 1/2 hrs in torrential rain then snow on the way back. Wierd, going north on I-71 and I-77 all the snow plows were headed south. Parts of the freeways were barely one lane clear, driving at 25-30 mph w poor visibility. Jeep performed great, first real winter driving I’ve done since living in Colorado 11 years ago... On the way down, in a lull in the rain saw a red C6 Z06 and a yellow C7 running together on I-270...on the way back, saw many vehicles off the road, incl a dark color C7 sideways in a ditch off I-71... End of March and snow...ugh

    Yeah, it's too bad about WOW...had them here in Cleveland for about a year...my sister used WOW last year when traveling to Amsterdam for work. I'm interested in going to Iceland, on my bucket list.

    The Masterpiece is just a facelifted version of the current Mojave, which was sold here a decade ago as the Borrego...still has the same greenhouse I see... had a V8 and BOF... The Mohave is smaller than the Telluride, which is smaller than the new Explorer...(new Explorer is Durango sized).
  25. Robert Hall
    That may be the best looking of the new generation of GM trucks..I like that blue, brown and the dark red.
