    Indeed...I like the idea of a GC with a straight 6.
  2. Robert Hall
    Well, considering the sales were falling for all of those, the market didn't care for them..
  3. Robert Hall
    Looking it forward to see it in person...the old Ranger was so old by the time it went out, even a design that is a few years old will seem new.

    Variety and choice are the spice of life, right? It's good we have a market with a wide variety of product at a wide range of prices..would be boring if we only had a bunch of look-a-like transport pods w/ gray interiors to choose from.

    Common sense isn't common. 20+ years dealing with the imbeciles in corporate America has taught me that...

    I'd take the Bronco and Mach 1.

    I could imagine riding a horse today would be difficult...no cupholders, no phone charger outlet, no nav. Though they can be autonomous and green as far as fuel. (I rode horses a few times as a child 40 years ago).

    I'm pretty sure the Slade is sold in Canada also...maybe Mexico too..

    Sales # are relevant in the mass market, less of an issue w/ luxury vehicles. And the GLS probably outsells it globally. Engine weight means nothing in a large SUV...with something like the Escalade the goal is to maximize the weight, not minimize it..leave the lightweight concerns to economy cars.
  10. Robert Hall
    Maybe they can do an Escalade V-series w the ZR1 engine. <sarcasm> Then to get the price higher, an ultra blinged range topping model w gold trim, 26 inch wheels, raised roof, etc. license the Kardashian brand name for that trim level. Nothing else would say ‘murican excess like that... </sarcasm>

    500hp this, 500hp that. Blah blah blah..But what about an Escalade EV? That would be a bold move...

    I’ve heard my county (and the river) pronounced a couple ways... Cuyahoga... Q-uh-hoga or Kai-ah-Hoga. So Lan-Caster or Lank-aster? I’d go with the 2nd.. Ohio has a Lancaster, not sure how it’s pronounced. Ohio has a Louisville—pronounced Lewis-vil, but my cousins in Kentucky pronounce their city Luh-a-Vul.

    In a similar vein, I've heard jag-U-wahr, jag-war, jag-wahr and jag-wire (I go with the 3rd). Aw-di and Ow-di (I go with the first). I've heard Bon-UH-vil and Bonnie-vil (I go with the first)...
  14. Robert Hall
    Or is it jag-WIRE? That's how I've heard it pronounced sometimes in regards to the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team..
  15. Robert Hall
    Reality is complex.

    Looks like a Chevy key with the black head in there...but there a lot of other keys on that chain. Hmm...maybe all the keys in your pic is a reference to the GM ignition issue? I go for minimal with my keys--only one on mine--my house key.
  17. Robert Hall
    GMC is not about 'value'..GMC is about 'professional grade', so professional grade pricing...
  18. Robert Hall
    LOL.... It's not 1975 anymore when Cadillac had the 500 V8 and Lincoln had a 460 V8...not sure if the displacement is relevant to most buyers today... the Navigator (it's main competitor) gets by just fine w/ a 3.5L DOHC V6.
  19. Robert Hall
    I am surprised given the continuing success of the Wrangler and Jeep in general that GM hasn't come up with a competitor. A new identity, not HUMMER..too much baggage and failure associated with that brand name.
  20. Robert Hall
    Well, I think that is because they took forever to commit to Cadillac having it's own V8 engine family again instead of sharing w/ Chevy & GMC...again, being cheap.
  21. Robert Hall
    I always liked the look of the '76-77 442 with it's laid-back waterfall grille..
  22. Robert Hall
    Not having IRS on a full size SUV is pretty 20th century at this point... the advantages of having IRS would outweigh any disadvantages, I think...better ride, lower floor and more cargo space, etc.
  23. Robert Hall
    A bit before my time, but my sister remembers that era (she graduated from high school in '75). I do remember the early 80s Jordache ads with Brooke Shields.
  24. Robert Hall
    I just assumed that was GM being cheap.
  25. Robert Hall
    So from the first couple paragraphs, it sounds like the '20 Escalade will have an IRS (17 years after the Navigator) and an optional DOHC V8 (21 years after the Navigator)...
