Ecotec was a GM engine, though. Wouldn’t have been used in a Toyota. And the Toyota in F&F was a straight 6 turbo RWD Supra, long way from a Corolla shitbox. -
Looks like Elmer went wild with a JC Whitney catalog.
-
Vibe was just a Toyota Matrix...
-
Or stuff like the Montana, Torrent, Vibe, etc---FWD redundant filler crap..
-
If they had unique products like they had w/ the G8 and Solstice... but not a rebadge filler brand.
-
Yeah, they are too busy playing on their phones to care about cars. Different world.
-
The E39s were really nice...a buddy in Denver had two used 540is in a row--both manuals. Drove one once, very nice car...handled great.
-
I like how slim the nostril grilles on those were...the new 7s grille is probably 3-4 times taller.
-
I like STSes...my sister's current commuter car is a well worn '06 STS...it drives nicely, comfortable inside. Her '00 DTS was nice also.
-
Oh, it's not the car...my brother has been an asshole/felon/black sheep of the family for decades...I had a BMW M3 back in the 00s and I'm not an asshole.
-
I always liked the look of those.... my asshole brother who has been a lifelong Chevy/Pontiac/Ford/Mercury guy has a black '00 740i...neat car.

Transit vans are the best around the Nurburgring from what I've read. Magazine stats such 0-60, quarter mile, top speed were the arguing points of car crazed teenagers in study hall...I remember such debates w/ my buddies on the latest car details from Car & Driver, Road & Track, etc back in '85-86...
-
Of course, the potential top speed of a car has no meaning in the real world, just an internet arguing point of little value.
-
So? You aren’t the target customer. They aren’t work trucks.

I wouldn't have liked living in a black & white world..I like color The 50s seem so far removed from the world I know...it may as well be the 1850s. Now the late 60s-early 70s would have been fun, IMO--for the music, the cars, the culture..would have been a fun time to be a young engineer at a place like JPL, NASA, BBN, or SRI driving something like a '69/70 Mach 1, '70 Challenger R/T or an early 911...
-
the general buying public are so damn boring in their car color choices...
-
I like two tone interior options w/ red, saddle tan, cream, brown, etc... color can be a great thing in an interior, just tired of dour all black or 50 shades of gray interiors... I do like that Escala interior. that CTS interior w/ the red and gray looks ideal for an Ohio State fan.
-
Out of curiosity, I checked the website of the apartment complex I lived in in Colorado Springs in the late 90s where I lived after grad school when at my first corporate job...they now have EV charging stations on site. That was a neat place, I had a heated garage w/ my apartment.... (random trivia--I managed to damage the garage door twice while living there--backed through the closed garage door w/ my Bronco, and caught it on the ski racks on my first JGC while it was going up..)
-
The charge at home can work for some, but for people without their own garage that would be a problem.
-
Chrysler never 'merged with Mitsubishi', but they had an engineering partnership for engines and platforms over several decades. But agreed about Tesla--they are an independent American tech company/auto maker and I hope they remain independent. Merging/being acquired by another automaker would kill what is unique about them, I think (though I could see them subcontracting the manufacturing to outside vendors for scale).
-
Wowza..that's...different. Too bad the auction didn't have an under hood shot...would love to see that loooooong hood open..

Cadillac Introduces Limited-Edition XT5 Sport Package
Robert Hall replied to regfootball's topic in Cadillac
Well, this is at least a real factory appearance package, not DIY silliness... -
I bet I could do 5lbs at 3 sets of 15 reps. Hah-hah..no, normal stuff for daily life... home stuff, dog food, etc.

Cadillac Introduces Limited-Edition XT5 Sport Package
Robert Hall replied to regfootball's topic in Cadillac
Crossovers usually sit higher than cars, and I would think 20 inch wheels/tires are taller than the standard wheels/tires (not sure what the standard size are). And step bars are a common add on with SUVs, and I see some people putting them on CUVs also... -
I love 'em, I've ridden in them back in the day, like the interior..typical mid 80s G body inside. The cars, music, movies and TV of the 80s were a big part of my youth, still find it a fascinating era. I really want to go to one of the RADwood events that celebrate 80s and 90s cars.
