  1. Well, the G has been totally redesigned for the 2019 model year, as is the subject of this thread. It should do well with it's retro styling...
  2. Unless you blow up the pic they kind of blend in. Two thin silver levers against all the black.
  3. Would be interesting to see them do one Denali style--chrome that black mesh grille.
  4. These are the clearest photos I've seen yet of the new front. Lots of confusion in the design. So the clampy shaped areas at the ends of the grille bar are the DRLS?
  5. As far as I can tell, the 'GLG' is speculative fiction at this point...googling it turns up photos and a You Tube clip from Auto Bild and CarScoop and a couple other magazines with mention of 'renderings'....i.e. photoshop. Supposedly the next gen GLS coming soon will have a longer wheelbase Maybach version, though.
  6. Here's the other non-blacked out grille...not sure if it's 'better' but at least 'different'. The look will probably be ruined by a center mounted license plate (needs an offset plate, IMO).
  7. That red concept looks like someones Photoshop effort of a Grand Cherokee with a Merc style front end and a few other tweaks...the side contours look very GCish...
  8. You got a new Escalade? Cool. I thought you had a 2004 or so. The new G-Class is all new from what I've read, not 'old product'.
  9. Always liked the LSCs....there is a silver blue one parked in a driveway down the street, hasn't moved in at least a year.
  10. I know there are people that still buy used small trucks, my older brother is on his 3rd Ranger in 20 years now (recently bought a clean '09 Super Cab 4x4). He doesn't haul much beyond dog food. I couldn't see him buying the new one--too expensive and fancy for him.
  11. It's good they offer choice of trims... I don't care for the Rebel with it's weird grille and strongly dislike black trim, but the dark red one w/ chrome and silver looks great to me. I'm not a truck guy, but if I ever needed one, I'd consider a Ram. I like the looks of the 12-inch UConnect screen...
  12. Is there still a market for such trucks anymore, though?
  13. Im waiting until Saturday to wash the Jeep again. Supposed to be in the 50s. Was snowing off and on all day today.
  14. Wowza. They could have made the grille larger, and had light clusters in the grille.
  15. Makes me think of a show car version of the Tesla Model S. similar styling. Some jntesting details.
  16. As far as German qualities, I wonder if the seats will be hard and it will still have the funky ratchet for the seat height adjustment.
  17. It is what it is...Ford just federalized a vehicle they have built and sold in other markets since 2011. Probably a very small investment. Also this generation of Ranger has always been 4/5 cylinder. Presumably not engineered for a V6. With the 'One Ford' playbook the Ranger is their global small truck, too big of a risky investment to do something smaller and cheaper. I'm curious what the towing capacity will be. And how that number with compare with the Coloyon and Taco .
  18. oooh...lens flare...JJ Abrams around? Not sure what I'm looking at..is that a C-shaped light at the end of the grille center spear or a reflection off the chrome? And a vertical vent in the jowl area..
  19. I think his is a '17, though? They changed the shifter in '17. My '14 has this shifter: While the '17-18 has this shifter:
  20. I haven't driven anything yet w/ that knob, but I'd probably like it. I'm surprised Jeep hasn't used it yet. My Jeep has the funky small shifter that stays in place (move forward and back to shift then it returns to the center).
