    Given all the production issues with the Model 3 they have had, I really question if Tesla will be able to deliver anything new going forward, let alone a Class 8 truck.
  2. Robert Hall
    The Freightliner trucks look like lightly disguised current production trucks...whilst the Tesla looks very much like the fantasy concept vehicle it is....
  3. Robert Hall
    Because Daimler is an established heavy truck manufacturer..they are more likely to be able to successfully build something like this than dreamers like Tesla..

    Hmm...'oak pollen clumps'..so that's what's been all over the driveway and front yard the last few weeks..have a huge oak by my driveway..kind of brown wormy looking stuff... and I've seen pollen blowing around while driving in the neighborhood...

    Yeah, scary what has been going on in Hawaii. Beautiful place. Fall/winter in Arizona was sinus infection season. All the dust in the air was a constant irritant.
  6. Robert Hall
    My sinuses have been bothering me lately...lots of pollen in the air. But I wouldn't trade access to abundant greenery, lakes and rivers for anything...

    The chart says 'mid size premium sedans', yet the cars listed are C-segment compact premium sedans....

    I did uncover one piece of trivia--Ransom E. Olds lived in Parma, Ohio (where I saw the '58 Olds) as a child...

    Today made one year I've been living in Ohio. I don't miss Arizona. Happy here.

    It was on a street I go down often, it may have been lurking in the garage and came out for summer. In the year I've been here full time, this was the first time I've seen it.

    Saw a very clean gold 58 Olds 2dr ht parked in a driveway. Huge and chromey.
  12. Robert Hall
    Bigger grilles and bigger lower fascia vents.

    Saw a very clean 1st gen Olds Aurora in a dark teal at the grocery, and saw a strange '80s BMW 6-series coupe at an intersection..was painted gray and dark blue w/ a variety of racing sponsor stickers and stripes. The inner headlights were yellow.

    The ones I saw in Co and Az always seemed to be gray if I could see the interior. Lots of dark window tint in the desert.
  15. Robert Hall
    Was the '94-96 Impala SS only available w/ a gray interior? That seems to be the only color I've seen them in (gray is my least favorite car interior color).

    Real carbon fiber trim needs to go away also...carbon fiber may be necessary to be exposed on a race car, but on a street car interior it just looks disgusting, IMO....fake or real.

    Right...I think of platform as the firewall, floorpan and 'subframe'-like structures that is part of a unibody where the front and rear suspension mounts, where the engine and transmission or transaxle mount..the hard points. The floorpan can be lengthened, some parts can be widened.

    FCA doesn't have M-B's development budget...and though they are Italian, platforms aren't pasta..
  19. Robert Hall
    Stelvio is Cherokee sized, too small for GC...can't really believe much of what Sergio says.
  20. Robert Hall
    FCA probably has some BS cost excuse that the GLQ platform is too expensive for Dodge and Chrysler...
  21. Robert Hall
    Yes...when the Levante came out, I wondered if it would be a platform for a future Jeep..it's the right size, but more of a soft-roader.
  22. Robert Hall
    Maybe the GC will get a variant of the Levante platform? Which is also used for the Ghibli and Quattroporte...
  23. Robert Hall
    It's a compact..similar size to the 3-series, C-class, ATS, etc...
  24. Robert Hall
    I don't know about reasonable, it's what they are. Seems like over the last 40 years cars have been downsized (though small cars have gotten larger) while trucks have gotten larger and heavier. Meeting crash standards and adding content has increased weight, even though a lot a lightening has gone on. There are no stripped down cars for the most part today, and stripped trucks only exist for fleets. It seems the average 4cyl compact is better equipped than a typical Detroit luxury car 40 years ago, and more powerful. So cars today on average are more efficient, more powerful, safer, and better equipped than 40 years ago. And heavier...interesting times we live in.
  25. Robert Hall
    For an extreme size vs weight example, I wonder how much the lightest 60s full size 4dr sedan weighed..like a 6cyl Biscayne. Under 4000lbs maybe?
