    That illustration (European source?) has a lot of Jeep styling cues to the sides--the wheelarches, greenhouse, etc. will be interesting to see how it turns out. It will be interesting also to see what the next 4Runner looks like..the current one is so ugly IMO.

    In a world of generic sedans and CUVs, a stylish 2dr with a V8 is a good thing, IMO...

    Was behind one on the road the other night..they have a great taillight pattern...

    The LC looks great in brown...(everything looks better in brown, IMO).

    I've rented trucks and vans from uHaul a few times over the years when I needed to move content from the house to storage and vice versa. Cheap and effective. As far as services like ZipCar, I could see using something like that if I lived downtown in a large city and didn't drive very often, had access to public transportation, etc. I would probably use Uber a lot in such a context. Out here in the burbs I don't need such services. When I lived in Phoenix, I did frequently rent vehicles from my neighborhood Enterprise for weekend getaways to San Diego, LA, the mountains, etc. since my previous Jeep was old and I didn't trust it on road trips.

    Invalid analogy. The CTS-v is a trim level of the CTS, while the LS and LC are two different models. The LS is considerably larger than the LC...the LS is V6 only, the LC is available w/ a V6 and V8.
  7. Robert Hall
    That's an LS500. The full size 4dr.

    It's a really stupid idea, IMO. Since I work from home, I don't use my Jeep every day, but I wouldn't want some unknown rando driving it. It's as stupid an idea as airbnb; I wouldn't rent my house out either. What's mine is mine; it's not community property. If I want to rent a car, I go to Hertz or Enterprise...

    I like the idea of a 2dr Range Rover, since the original was a 2dr. But I think they should have made it available across all the same trims as the 4dr and at the same price points rather than an exclusive halo vehicle.

    The CTS-v and ATS-v always seem to have dour black or gray interiors... haven't seen any with this much color.

    I avoid compacts when renting cars, but I did rent a couple larger Hyundais in California a few years ago...both a '14 Genesis sedan and a '16 Sonata.. IIRC they were not particularly memorable, but pretty decent and pleasant.
  12. Robert Hall
    That was like the one I saw at the Cleveland auto show, IIRC...bright red w/ tan interior. That black w/ dark red two tone interior is nice also.
  13. Robert Hall
    Not sure why you would be trying to compare this to the ATS, the Lexus ATS competitors are the IS (sedan) and RC (coupe). Different niches, different price points. This is their competitor to the BMW 8 series and M-B S-class coupe.

    No point in spelling out the name with the badge there. Chevy doesn't do it, Cadillac doesn't do it, etc...

    I found an article that said in 2016 GM had 10.2 million sales world wide, their first year over 10 mil. I wonder what their all time highest sales year for the US was? It seems like it might have been in at a time when they had a lot of models and a lot of market share, perhaps 1977? Looking at the numbers at the first link below, Chevy was 2.5m, Olds 1.1m, Pontiac and Buick both over 800k...1978 and 1979 were similar, but lower... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Automobile_Production_Figures http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/07/news/companies/gm-record-sales-profits/index.html

    Makes sense..Chevy is the broad truck brand with work trucks and personal use/family trucks, and let GMC focus on the luxury trucks and try and minimize overlap..
  17. Robert Hall
    Not really my thing, but they were 2drs and had character...not generic enough in today's market, alas.
  18. Robert Hall
    Volvo trucks today are unrelated to Volvo cars (though at one time that were parts of the same company, long ago).
  19. Robert Hall
    GMC is about luxury w/ the Denalis, these really don't fit that marketing message. Chevy can have the commercial use focus. Though I assume GMC will get some of these also?
  20. Robert Hall
    Cadillac need an Escalade HD version of this...
  21. Robert Hall
    4dr variant of the existing AMG GT 2dr, I presume...
  22. Robert Hall
    So this is a preview of their i-Pace/Model X competitor, methinks...lots of the deets look production ready...
  23. Robert Hall
    Weird lighting on the front end, strong similarities to VW and Audi exterior profile and rear styling, rather plain interior for the price...nothing about the interior really shouts ultra luxury, IMO.
  24. Robert Hall
    Hideous wheels...some sort of plastic wheel cover?

    I'd heard of Quigley 4x4 conversions, usually with Ford Econolines. But had not heard of Mowag---Swiss Dodge van 4x4 conversions. http://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/reader-ride-dodge-mowag-4x4-b350-van-swiss-rarity/
