    Strong Camaro vibe to the front end. So my sister's Trax is done w/ the repairs and ready to go (been in the dealer's auto body shop since getting rear ended early in December). Insurance paid for everything beyond the deductible. She's been driving the Cadillac, and it has a new anomaly...the heater won't blow out the dash vents or under dash...defroster still works. Good thing the seat heater still works and it hasn't been excessively cold yet...

    Found that one today, along with a Maisto Colorado.

    Saw a black or dark blue 63-64 Rambler Classic 4dr w flames painted in the front fenders and hood. Sitting in a driveway.

    Does seem a bit high, but then again electric motors can be quite torquey...
  5. Robert Hall
    Very retro from behind.

    Here is the Atlis website...first I'd heard of them. Looks like it's an American company, some of the leadership team has past auto industry experience. There is a pic of the rear--the taillights, tailgate and rear bumper reminds of an early 90s F150. http://www.atlismotorvehicles.com

    Heh-heh, Chevy is trying to convince people to pay $50k for an Acadia that looks like a Camaro mated with a Murano (Blazer)....

    Yet another electric pickup, this one promising a 500 mile range and 35k lb towing capacity. Hadn't heard of Atlis yet. https://insideevs.com/video-atlis-xt-electric-pickup-truck-500-mile-range/?fbclid=IwAR3R-S2R46KWb5YHQWRI4gyKev_7H7VXc6ITWTwrqEr28ogfWfg_1MNUoMk\

    Make me think of the Motor Law and outlaws driving red Barchettas...

    Yeah, some trucks were low..I remember the S10s and Rangers my Dad and brother had were easy to get in and out of...my Dad's old Power Wagon I learned to drive in had a high step up. I've never been a truck person, though..never needed to haul stuff more than I can fit in an SUV. Which then begs the question do they need both GMC and Buick in the US, since they overlap so much.

    I get it...after almost 25 years of having an SUV as a daily driver, I find it perfectly natural. My WK2 GC sits a bit higher than my WJ GC (20 vs 16 inch wheels/tires), but it's still very easy to get in and out compared to a car.. I was 24 when I first started driving SUVs daily (Bronco II)...and now I'm 48..and feel my age in my knees and hips.. though I do miss driving cars w/ manuals.

    You may be overthinking this, the fender crease is as it is just to look different from the Sierra.
  13. Robert Hall
    I don't think I'd seen BEV before, but it makes sense to avoid confusion with EEEV, PHEV, PZEV, HEV, UEV, and ZEV...

    And also Dermott Mulroney, American actor. And not Muldowney, as in Shirley, retired American drag racer.
  15. Robert Hall
    Monroney, I think. I’ve read dealer window stickers referred to by that name.

    It seems so strange to invest in this new V8 and a CT6 V series using it only to drop it. But that is a very GM move.

    Well, mine are Arizona dogs. 2nd winter in Ohio, but this winter so far is mild compared to last year.
  18. Robert Hall
    I’ve been known to put sweaters on dogs when it’s really cold... and I definitely let them on the furniture. As far as getting sads when selling an old car, I did kind of miss my old Jeep when I traded March 31, 2017. But I’d had it almost 17 years and 170k miles...it was at the point where I didn’t trust it anymore and it would needed expensive repairs. Pic below taken the day I traded it.

    Very strange..wonder why the street is so much lower than the buildings..

    It is interesting that none of the regular companies have been able to capitalize on EVs the way Tesla has. I assume Tesla's singular focus and not having to support or develop legacy product gave them an early mover advantage.
  21. Robert Hall
    I see a lot of Kias and Hyundais around here also...
  22. Robert Hall
    Too many boring AWD/FWD transverse 4cyl or V6 automatic appliances...I know that is what the market seems to want, but does GM really need 4 brands worth of them? Different styling, same boring hardware underneath... Not that different than GM in the 80s-90s when they had so many similar, overlapping subcompact, compact and midsize FWD transverse 4cyl and V6 sedans and coupes...so much forgettable mediocrity.
  23. Robert Hall
    I think the standard story is 'wait till next year'...the S-class, GLE and GLS are all getting redesigned soon..the next GLE has all ready been shown. SLC and SL would make sense being down in winter, since they are convertible 2 seaters.
  24. Robert Hall
    Yeah, I can't imagine anything from a Chinese company will be sold in the US for anytime soon...
  25. Robert Hall
    Horse and buggies... (remember, I grew up in Ohio Amish country--saw them all the time). Some of them rent 16 passenger vans w/ drivers to go shopping.
