  1. Well, it is the latest version of an Australian pickup dating to 2011... price is about $20k too high for a midsize, it seems. Hard to wrap my head around the idea of a $50k midsize 4x4 4cyl pickup.
  2. True, I do like the XC90...down the road I'd look at one as a CPO. I think I like the V90 CC even more, though...esp. in Maple Brown.
  3. Hopefully it has some sort of sunshade..would be a terrarium in the AZ sun..
  4. An artist & motorsports friend of mine in Arizona did this neat painting of Campbell's Bluebird. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/-full-power--arthur-benjamins.html
  5. Ha-ha...German-American-Italian and Korean-American collaboration in my driveway..
  6. T Definitely some truth to that..I think efficient vehicles are great, electrics are great. But would I trade my Jeep on one? No...
  7. Yeah, some lines did retain their RWD platform letter when going to FWD...the X-, A-, and C- bodies did..while the B- bodies that did transition became H- bodies.
  8. Correct. The only FWD X-body I've seen on the road since I've been in Ohio was a clean maroon Buick Skylark that I saw last year. Must have been a car show or cruise-in going yesterday..driving down a nearby major street I saw in a 2 mile stretch---light blue '55 Chevy stepside pickup, light blue and white '55 Chevy 210 2dr sedan, dark burgundy '68 Olds Cutlass convertible--top down, lt yellow base '67 Camaro, black '69-70 Pontiac Grand Prix. I've seen the Grand Prix and Camaro before.
  9. This is like if Power Wheels came out with an unlicensed Jeep ride on toy. Same idea, just larger.
  10. Too sterile and dull...and way too much gray. Nothing about it says 'luxury' or premium. A giant tablet touchscreen...yawn.
  11. ..and Henry is back from the groomers...he doesn't like to show his face for the camera. Looks great w/ a short haircut. Nah, I couldn't eat Bambi...they stroll through my front and backyard, eat the bird seed in the bird feeders and the critter crunch I put out for the squirrels and chipmunks..
  12. Saw a couple unusual cars parked at the bank today...a black Audi R8 convertible, top down, and a very clean triple-beige late 70s Pontiac Phoenix 2dr w/ color keyed Rally II wheels.
  13. Deer in the yard across the street.
  14. The littles are like that..the two 6lb girls (Ginny and Penny) have nails that grow fast... and the golden boy (Henry, 10lbs) in the background is getting his hair cut today, grows fast.
  15. Yeah, the Yorkie girls hair doesn't grow too fast, but the boys hair grows really fast. All the dogs had grooming in May, a couple of the Yorkie boys need hair cuts again.
  16. Pictures taken at different points in time...I let their hair grow long in the winter, keep them short in the summer... they both have short hair in the bottom most photo (the two on the left).
  17. Buick needs some retro naming also... maybe 'Dynaflow' for a electric CVT or something. They tried 'Super' a decade ago, didn't seem to take.... and they really can't use 'Limited' again, since other brands use it now (Ford, Ram, Jeep, etc), so 'Avenir' instead..
  18. Zo, a rather large Yorkie boy (16lbs).
  19. And look who's up in double digit percentages...Alfa (65%!), Jeep (15.x%), Mitsubishi (23.x%), Volvo (23.x%), VW (12.x%)...
  20. And today is National Yorkie Day. Love the breed...4 of them in the pack.
  21. Yes, but that was a specific trim level, while TriPower was an engine feature option. Sounds like the new use is going to be for an engine/powertrain feature also.
  22. Would be nice to see the wagon offered in this trim, without the TourX fender arch trim.
  23. 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..
