The early 90s generation was a high point of Accord styling, IMO. They couldn't build this today because of tougher safety standards. But the outward visibility was great, the styling was crisp and clean, no gimmicks or cheese. And 3 body styles.
-
Charger was my first thought also when I saw the front end of the new Accord..I guess they are trying to go outrageous looking to compete with the new emboldened Camry. Accords were always clean and subtle for the most part in the past, no more..
-
I love how outrageous and exaggerated those vintage illustrations were...got some Pontiac and Cadillac styling cues in there..

Yes! Then an X10, the world's first 4 row crossover coupe. -

Looking into it...there are 3 from my other ATP list that qualify, but I may want to change things up... stuff to mull over.

After moving back to Ohio last year after years in the West, it is funny is how many GM cars of the last 20 or so years I still see around....not just Chevys and Cadillacs, but Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Saturns, Pontiacs even. Way more it seems than I saw in the Phoenix area during a typical week...
-
Well, it is a coupe...coupes aren't known for having lots of headroom in the back....they have the X3 and X5 for those that want more rear headroom...

I'm sure an X8 will be coming, but probably a 4dr coupe. A big 2dr hardtop SUV coupe would be cool... -
That was one of the things I noticed last year going from my '00 Jeep to my '14 Jeep, but in reverse. The old one didn't have a locking fuel release, the newer one has a dash button to release the door (but no fuel cap). It took me a couple months to get used to that..
-
Greenhouse and side contours remind me a bit of the current Giulietta mixed with the Mazda 3.
-
I'm seeing the 34 pics of the disguised car on the motor1.com site, don't see a Facebook link. That blue one above from a Russian site is the only undisguised one I'm seeing.
-
Interesting shape..profile makes me think Mazda and maybe a bit of Alfa.
-
I kind of like that...looks like the MKX, Continental and new Navi also have them. My folks had a '58 Monterey (but 12 years before I was born). I like the Nav interior in blue...it has the transmission controls laid out horizontally.
-
yes...some snow melted here, probably going to be more today..but I did hear buzz about a polar vortex..
-
Rocker switch, push button. Not much difference. Hadn't read about Lincoln doing it, which model? Imagine if some company decided to not have physical controls for the transmission and do it all through the touch screen..I could imagine issues with that..
-
The modern one I was thinking of is the new GMC Terrain.
-
That was an early 60s thing w Chrysler. Gone by 64 or so. I wonder it they had some sort of lockout to keep R or P from being pushed when in motion. There is a new vehicle that has a push button transmission--can't recall what model. Maybe a CUV. (Not the Ram dial)
-
If any one were to build a modern interpretation of the Titanic, I could see Elon Musk doing it..except it would be electric and travel on water and through space and time...;)
-
There is a nice '67 Dart 2dr ht around here I've seen a few times (probably put away for winter now)...orange with black hood w/ Hemi style scoop, Centerlines, nice and rumbly...
-
I've heard of issues updating UConnect w/ older versions also. I'm not going to f*ck around with it on my '14, system works fine the way it is...I don't need no stinkin' updates..;)
-
Riiiiighht. Maybe 150km/h.
-
Sounds illegal.. where in the US would you drive 150mph in an SUV? On a racetrack?

The other models are smaller and sold internationally, so they do compete in a different niche. -
I can't imagine anyone actually going 149mph in one these, except maybe on an Autobahn or in Dubai....
