    Ha, I knew it. I lived in north Central Phoenix (near the Biltmore) from '08-17. Moved to the Cleveland, Oh area in 2017 (originally from NE Ohio). Have had 6 inches of snow today.. I still work for a client in Scottsdale (work out of my house).

    Free-standing tablet touch screens seems to be the trend on a lot of new models in the last couple of years. Personally, I prefer the integrated touchscreens like FCA products usually have.

    Welcome back...I don't recall, you aren't in Arizona are you? The background in your photo reminds me of my old Phoenix neighborhood (the wall, the AC on the roof, palm tree, etc).

    Ya, they had a strange transition period in the mid 80s where the sedans and wagons were FWD while the 2 and 3dr hatchbacks were RWD. At some points during the 80s, Toyota had like 5-6 different Corolla body styles in the US..different era.

    Sounds tasty. Charlie's Dog House is a couple miles from me here in Cleveland, tasty hot dogs. On the subject of gas stations and filling up, I encountered a pump last week that took about a minute a gallon...after 10 min, I had put in 10 gallons and gave up. Slowest pump I've ever seen.

    Actually, old Corollas like the AE86 were RWD...

    There have been sporty versions of the Corolla in the past..over 30 years ago w/ the SR5 (AE86 Trueno) hatchback, and the FX16 hatchback, for example.

    Given the vastness of our galaxy and the universe in which it is but one galaxy, I can't imagine that Earth is the only planet with sentient life form units. Given the vast distances of interstellar space, is it possible other life form units could travel to Earth? No idea. I could only imagine that technology of other dwellers of the universe to be quite different from our own. Have they visited Earth? No idea.

    I was behind a silver GP of that generation this afternoon.

    Looks good inside and out...familiar yet new. Interesting to see the portrait mode screen. Towing numbers seem low. Side profile similar to current gen, but nicer..current gen looked awkward from some angles, IMO.

    Interesting article...about a homebuilt '79 Corvette w/ FWD (Eldorado chassis): https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2019/01/09/what-could-be-the-worlds-only-front-wheel-drive-corvette-donated-to-national-corvette-museum/?refer=hccweekly

    Not bad looking, more normal than the Bolt.

    That's just marketing blather, though...are the CUVs really that different besides the styling? Same AWD/FWD/transverse engine appliances....
  14. Robert Hall
    Lol...well, I'd admit at some level I'd secretly like to be Tom Selleck (Magnum PI) in the red Ferrari 308 GTS circa 1982....or Don Johnson (Sonny Crockett) in the Ferrari Testarossa in Miami circa 1985... or at least have their hair.

    True, no whimsy. And I couldn't care less what consumers know. This is an enthusiast site, after all...

    I was talking about Buick and GMC crossovers..two brands of the same company, same platforms, same engines, same dealerships!!!!!!! Same meat, different toppings, likewise for Chevy. You made a totally invalid analogy. Besides, Mercedes has vans and many more 2 seat roadsters than BMW.
  17. Robert Hall
    Invalid analogy; MB and BMW are different companies with different product.

    90% of GCs over the last 5 years have been metallic black or white, or so it seems. I love the brown, want my next one brown.

    I guess they think the Camaro/Murano mash up styling will attract customers and is worth a premium. Time will show if this is a good idea or not.
  20. Robert Hall
    I could see them selling a Blazer as a performance SUV if it were built on the Camaro platform w/ the same engine choices (as the Camaro), but not some weak transverse engine FWD appliance...
  21. Robert Hall
    I imagine this will freak out all the oldsters that buy Harleys...
  22. Robert Hall
    Hard to comprehend...I could see maybe $35k for a AWD/FWD/transverse engine appliance, but $57k for such lowly hardware?
  23. Robert Hall
    Heh-heh..I like them...got a good local place even closer, though...Das Schnitzel Haus in Parma.
  24. Robert Hall
    I could go for a currywurst w/ a side of spaetzle, and a pint of Warsteiner. Going to have to go to Hofbrauhaus downtown soon.
  25. Robert Hall
    That would be pretty boring...the point of offering different trims is to give consumers choice. Look at all the variations available in the Grand Cherokee, Challenger, etc...choice is good. The Edge looks much the same as it's been since 2015...just minor front/rear fascia changes for 2019 that I can see...
