    Would be nice to see the wagon offered in this trim, without the TourX fender arch trim.

    Considering it's been over 50 years since the name was last used, Pontiac has been gone about a decade, and carbs have been gone for a couple decades, makes sense to repurpose the trademark..

    Oddly, I see more Aleros around the Cleveland area than the other N cars of that era. I rarely ever see Grand Ams or Skylarks...

    He can be a bit yappy...but he's mostly mellow and fits in with the pack..

    I saw somewhere yesterday was National Mutt Day....have two of them--a Chi-Terrier mix (Beardsley--gray boy) and a Terrier mix (Raine--red girl), in addition to the purebred Yorkies.. love 'em, had them almost 4 years... Adopted as a pair from a rescue in AZ.

    Farady Future is supposedly back on track to deliver by December.. https://jalopnik.com/faraday-future-ff-91-production-officially-begins-for-d-1827995466

    The styling makes me think of a mix of the old Mitsu Lancer, first gen Chrysler 200, and some random Toyota and Hyundai parts. And it has that deplorable, lazy stylist touch that I loathe—the pointless little bit of C-pillar trim that goes behind the door upper with the little black wedge of despair surrounded by chrome.

    Take off the Subaru badging and you would hard pressed to tell what it is. Looks so generic and old. Like something from 2005 rental car hell.
  9. Robert Hall
    Yes...given how huge Toyota is, I'm surprised they haven't gotten into the commercial van space in the US like Nissan has done w/ the NVs... A US market version of the Hiace would be cool. And imagine how badazz one of these would look w/ the Lexus predator grille, sharp angles, squinty lights, and 22 inch wheels..(though the JDM Alphard van looks pretty Lexus-ish these days..)

    I like the retro two toning and white wheels... not sure how it would work on the new generation with it's really weird styling, though..
  11. Robert Hall
    There is such a thing as a 'Sienna Commercial van'?

    I've always wanted one of those Eagles, with the straight 6. The Sunchaser convertible is way cool, IMO.
  13. Robert Hall
    And some Subarus have frameless door glass, so totally a coupe Who knows, if SSCs (SUVsedancoupes) are the Next Big Thing, maybe Jeep will do something...like a modern descendant of the Eagle sedan. How about a AWD Chrysler 300C based model w/ more ground clearance and the 7 slot grille...too bad they don't still make the Dodge Magnum...an updated version w/ fender flares and more ground clearance, could be Dodge or Jeep's answer to the Buick Regal TourX, etc..

    Interesting...only short bed and standard bed w/ the 1500 double cab and crew cab variants...no long bed. Saving that for the regular cab and heavy duty, I assume.
  15. Robert Hall
    So is there going to be a 2nd gen CLA or does this more or less replace it for the NA market?
  16. Robert Hall
    I assume all the 2019 specs will be available in the 4th quarter since they say 'available late 2018'... I haven't read anything about it, but I assume they will give the current style the 'Classic' treatment and continue it for 2019 for some configurations as they have done in the past?

    It's funny, on the 19 Silverado preview site, they don't mention that the 2.7 is a 4 cylinder. They list 2 V8s and the 2.7 Turbo. There isn't much of a power or torque gap between the 2.7 and 5.3, so I wouldn't see them doing the V6 except maybe as a value leader for the base fleet trims (since the current 4.3 has lower power and torque than the 2.7). https://www.chevrolet.com/upcoming-vehicles/all-new-2019-silverado

    Regular cab with short bed is probably one of the lowest volume (and lowest profit) configurations?

    I have little interest in hearing engine noise when driving, the quieter the better. How about automakers do something about quieting HVAC fan noise? I like a quiet interior so I can crank up the audio and hear the music...
  20. Robert Hall
    It would be nice to see quieter outdoor equipment...noisy lawnmowers, leaf blowers, chainsaws....

    Went to the Cleveland show this year for the first time in 25 years, it was pretty good. Was packed w/ people the rainy Saturday I was there, they had the Jeep indoor obstacle course, most all the cars were unlocked and some had to get in line to sit inside. For a regional non-car premiering show, I thought it was pretty good..better than Phoenix, IMO. And as far as new cars premiering at shows, that's usually of only interest to the journos I would think..

    Supposedly, First Energy rate here in the Cleveland burbs is about 5.25c/KWh. Summer, when the electric bill is higher from running the A/C a lot hasn't been that bad so far.... my highest was for July, $235...in comparison, in Phoenix running the A/C 24/7 in July for a house 1/2 the size was usually $450-600/month from June-Sept.

    Apples and oranges..the future Q1 seems like it would line up better w/ the Encore.
  24. Robert Hall
    Seems like government policies from the current corrupt, unstable government led by the orange cretin would be more likely the cause of a new-future economic collapse.

    20 seconds to do a google search turns up one recent source is speculation of a 2020 economic crash in a paper by an analyst..I'm sure there are others out there. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/energy/expert-makes-the-case-for-400-per-barrel-oil https://www.pkverlegerllc.com/assets/documents/180704200CrudePaper.pdf
