    I think we are past white kitchens, gray or black ones are in now. I'm not really a fan of gray ones either.

    Kind of like that Corvette that was totaled for a small frame crack that was unreachable or something. A little JB Weld and duct tape and it'll be fine..;)

    I generally don't like white vehicles, only thing white I dislike more are white kitchens. But a few cars look great in white, IMO...like vintage or modern Shelby Mustangs in white w/ blue stripes, or Porsche 911 RSes in white w/ red or green stripes and wheels.

    Those had white trim, though..not black plastic crud. The work trucks of 40-50 years ago look much better than this pig, IMO. That doesn't look bad... the white w/ white trim doesn't look good to me, but I don't like most anything in white. White w/ black trim and black wheels looks revolting to me, but some people like it.

    I'm sure they won't lose money on the 8 series..remember, this is a global product, not just dependent on US sales.

    And this just looks ghastly to me...white paint w/ all that black plastic up front...I know, though, it's just a fleet truck for business and not consumer use so they had to cheapass the trim. But still, so ugly.. about as hideous as the fleet level Ford Super Dutys and E-series vans from 10 years ago.

    Anyone but the Patriots... I'm a longtime Browns fan, though was a Steelers fan as a kid, still like them. Also like the Packers and Broncos (long time Broncos fan). Never got into the Cardinals though they were my local team for a while... Ram looks the best to me, less obese looking than the others. Only improvements I'd make to the Ram would be smaller grille lettering and better integration of the tow hooks.

    Speaking of the CT6, saw a dark gray one in the parking lot at Best Buy Saturday. Very sharp, it was an '18 w/ a temporary tag.

    A V8 luxury convertible is certainly more interesting than another boring CUV. BMW already has the CUV and SUV market well covered, they need a few coupes and convertibles. Given it's size, styling and V8 performance, think of the 8 as a German luxury Mustang..

    eclat is an existing brand in BMX bike aftermarket, it looks like. Wasn't it also a '70s Lotus (the fastback version of the Elite?). As far as the original post, some interesting ideas. I do think a national standard/initiative would be good. Having a different set of standards in different states isn't good, it should be standardized for all states, IMO.

    I haven't read it..been out enjoying the fall weather and shopping for appliances this weekend. But I will read it.

    Per Car & Driver, the Model S passenger volume is 94 cubic ft. Pretty f'd up that the smaller model is slightly bigger inside.
  13. Robert Hall
    The Model S has virtually the same legroom numbers as the Model 3....F 42.7 in, R 35.4 in. More shoulder room, probably.

    Car choices in families can be interesting...many couples I know each buy their own cars...often very different products from different manufacturers..and they never drive each other's vehicle unless it's in the shop. My folks were old school, my Dad would buy cars for my Mom--usually Ford or Mercury personal luxury coupes, and a big sedan (Mercury or Lincoln) and a fun car for himself. My sister with each of her 3 husbands always bought her own cars. It was funny, with husband #2 they had the same color, make and model--both drove gray '85 Nissan 300ZXes when they met.

    Amazing to realize that the only US brand compact mainstream fwd sedans left are from Chevy.

    M-B vans are up 16% year to date over last year, and up 71% in Oct 18 compared to Oct 17.
  17. Robert Hall
    Yeah, given how much he likes EVs you would think he would have one for himself. For most couples I know, each spouse has a vehicle that pretty much only they drive.
  18. Robert Hall
    Correct..the new generation of Focus won't be sold here, as part of Ford's 'kill-all-cars-except-for-Mustang' US strategy for failure..

    400hp, 470ft/lbs torque...RWD. I'm sure it drives great..no Camry or Corolla would drive like that..
  20. Robert Hall
    It will be interesting see what sort of machines people build with a 1000hp supercharged Hemi. If I were in that game, I'd build something using an Imperial or Chrysler 300 from around 1970. Big engine in a big car..
  21. Robert Hall
    And the mid engined C8 will be presumably built in the US, but it's not here yet.
  22. Robert Hall
    Way cool..the color and flared fenders remind me of the icy environment Charger from the last F&F movie, but more realistic.
  23. Robert Hall
    I would assume given the market shift to CUVs, SUVs and trucks away from sedans Toyota will invest more in new trucks and SUVs.
  24. Robert Hall
    I enjoy looking at old cars for their styling at car shows--whether original survivors or restorations, but I really wouldn't enjoy driving them. I like the driving dynamics of modern vehicles w/ strong brakes, good handing and steering, predicable reliability, and most important to me--- comfortable and adjustable seats, a modern sized steering wheel w/ adjustable column, and modern cabin amenities (not to mention modern safety equipment). I'm not 85, so driving something from 1949 just doesn't resonate w/ me...seems like it would be more tedious and tiresome than enjoyable. I do like the idea of resto mods that combine modern drivability w/ the classic styling.

    Perfect for Halloween...
