    True, I think all would be fine had they kept it in the Indian market. Selling it in the US is what is irritating FCA.

    M-B has arguably the most diverse brand lineup amongst all automakers...very broad w/ a models in many segments, and multiple body styles for several models. Nothing wrong with that..

    Was behind a 2nd gen Chrysler 200 with odd taillights in traffic this morning..with the brake lights on, the left rear taillight glowed white (clear lens), the right one red (red lens). Also saw one of the new Camrys in white, w/ a black roof and red leather interior...wild. Really unusual look, nice to see Toyota going for bold color choices instead of the usual boring gray or beige interiors. The styling is quite a shift from the usual anonymous Camry.

    Fleets also include municipal government purchases, various companies, etc...not all are rentals. Some people like to rent the cheapest car they can. I prefer at least a Malibu sized car when renting.

    It is funny, after trading the DTS on the Trax in '15, I thought she was done with older used cars..but she hates driving the Trax on the freeway (too light, underpowered, buffeting from trucks) and her current gig requires driving across the state and back every week, so she wanted something heavier, faster and cheap...

    Got the car back a couple days ago after time in the shop...both fuel pumps replaced, no more fuel leak. Coolant flushed and replaced, oil change, one headlight bulb and foglight bulb replaced. Running great right now. I replaced the glovebox latch yesterday, 5 minute job. Discovered the owner's manual in it's leather pouch won't fit in the tiny glovebox (got a clean manual from eBay, car didn't have one).

    I like the look of the racing version of the GT..
  8. Robert Hall
    Yeah, and the one named GT is the sports car. Kind of ironic.
  9. Robert Hall
    Probably not much...they did overlap in the 2015 model year. Production of the SLS ended in 2014, production of the AMG GT began in 2014.
  10. Robert Hall
    Ah, yeah..the AMG GT replaced the SLS.
  11. Robert Hall
    They still make the SL and AMG GT AFAIK... There is a $36k spread between the SL and AMG GT roadster starting prices...( going off the prices listed on the MB USA website).

    Maybe FCA can cut a licensing deal and Mahindra can badge it as a Jeep...it's basically an adult version of a Power Wheels Jeep.
  13. Robert Hall
    Do they offer a chromed version? The black plastic makes it look really cheap and cheesy. A version with lighting in the letters could look good.
  14. Robert Hall
    Looks more like white than blue..
  15. Robert Hall
    I doubt if that could be made street legal...wouldn't pass US crash tests, emissions, etc. True, though..no different than FCA suing a die cast maker selling unbranded Jeep toys.
  16. Robert Hall
    No one is going to cross shop this crap with a Wrangler, and it's not even street legal. Seems pretty baseless for a complaint.

    A couple uncommon cars today...saw a very clean taupe Olds Intrigue at Ace Hardware and a clean lt blue early 90s Buick Regal 2dr in a driveway. Not sure of the year, but the main portion of the taillight lenses were clear rather than red. Then this evening, I spotted a dark red early ‘00s Bonneville in a city of Parma lot with city department decals on the doors.

    Sounds like it's just an appearance package.
  19. Robert Hall
    Interesting...looks remind me of maybe an old Fiat or Renault with a front inspired by a '67-69 Ford F-series.
  20. Robert Hall
    Saw one of the new '19 Hyundai Santa Fes in black backed in a driveway...pretty sharp looking, I like the front..
  21. Robert Hall
    I doubt it, these are restomods of vintage cars that weren't designed for airbags. Maybe modern 3-point seatbelts.
  22. Robert Hall
    It's a rather busy design..makes the previous generations of Z4 look clean. The original Z3 is still the best looking, IMO.

    Speaking of campers, too bad the VW California isn't sold here..pretty cool. For Asian vans, it's too bad the Toyota Vellfire and Alphard aren't sold here..pretty badazz looking..could see the Alphard as a Lexus. Way more dramatically styled than the sedate Sienna.

    Not really spotting, but some car-related randomness...I've been helping my sister w/ her new old Caddy--I replaced the wipers, added washer fluid, new floor mats, and replaced some plastic trim screws under the hood (it has the black plastic panels that cover a lot of things). She's replaced the tires (w/ Falken all season tires) and had a few other things done..the biggest issue being a fuel leak. Apparently, the STS has two gas tanks..on either side of the driveshaft, ahead of the rear axle under the back seat. The auxiliary one (left side) had a leak if you filled up the tank. The shop first thought it was a ring/seal where the plastic fuel line goes into the plastic tank. Nope. After filling it up yesterday, it started puddling again last night. I took it back to the shop (my sister is working out of town) this morning, now the are sure it's auxiliary fuel pump that is leaking. I was under the car when up on the rack, pretty clean for an 11-yr old Ohio/Florida car, just surface rust on the suspension. There are a few things to do, need to replace the struts/shocks eventually, a cracked taillight lens, broken glovebox latch (got a replacement one off eBay), figure out how get the 6 disk CD player to work (seems to be jammed), etc.

    Just saw a red '70s Lamborghini Jarama. I've seen maybe one other in my life at a car show. Unusual to see something like this in traffic in Parma, Ohio.. (not my photo, but just like this). One of 328 built. Also saw a really clean early 90s BMW 5 series in bright red also.
