  1. PRNDM...'M'?
  2. The 6 sided trapezoid grille is a common styling cue nowadays--esp. with Ford and Hyundai, and some Toyotas.
  3. Sounds tasty (except for the beets--can't eat them--like the taste, but have bad reactions to them).
  4. There are parts of AZ where it gets to 130 in the summer, ...like Bullhead City...Phoenix hit 120 this past summer..regardless of when or if it hits 140 or 150 (predicted for 2030 in some articles), it's still a disgusting desert shithole, glad it's permanently in my past...
  5. Ah, didn't notice that distinction. Weird. Have non-plugin hybrids fallen from favor?
  6. ^ https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/
  7. Niches within niches...the GLB is rumored to be a butched-up GLA with G-class styling in a compact form, while a rumored GLG would be a GLE variation with G-class styling and room for 7.
  8. The concept was just cartoon nonsense. The production one is retro modern, like the Wrangler. Supposedly all-new. Yeah, I remember seeing quite a few of them in Phoenix & Scottsdale, always shiny and polished, shiny black tires and chrome wheels. It would be nice to see people actually using them off-road, covered in dust and mud, scratches and rock chips, dents, etc...
  9. Sunny and about 8 degrees out...took advantage of the weather and went out and filled up and went to the car wash....got the old salt off the Jeep, got some new on driving back home....more snow in the forecast for Sun/Mon...house is nice and warm, dogs are warm, all is good...
  10. Last redesign of the Sequoia was '08, with a refresh for '18, last redesign of the LC was '07, had a couple facelifts since then.
  11. Yeah, hurricanes and flooding would definitely be a concern about S. Florida. I'm glad I'm out of the desert, don't want to be there when the daytime highs start hitting 130-150F eventually. Other than winter cold, the Great Lakes region seems pretty good. Though part of me misses living in the West (specifically Denver).
  12. I could see retiring to S. Florida...or spending winters there. I love the Keys, love the international flavor of Miami...
  13. Cold and sunny again today in Cleveland. Was 0F when I rolled out the rubbish bins a couple of hours ago. About 6 inches of snow still on the ground. Jeep grubby, need to run through the car wash soon.
  14. Yeah, been pretty cold and snowy since Xmas here in NE Ohio..I wouldn't mind winters in S. Florida eventually. I'm still happy to be away from Arizona and love having the Lake Erie beaches and islands close by (in nice weather).
  15. Thought I'd mentioned that before...I lived there from '81-88. Went to Jr High and High School there, graduated from Marathon. My folks bought a winter house there in '81, sold it in the mid 90s. Loved living down there...
  16. 59F and sunny in Marathon..that is cold for the Keys...I remember when I lived down there they closed the high school when it got to 45F one January day. Planning to go down there a couple times this year.
  17. Pretty cold here in Cleveland, maybe 6 inches of snow on the ground from the last few days..single digit highs today and tomorrow.
  18. It's a very subtle redesign. The Autocar article said it was all new with a noticeable weight reduction. I wonder if they have eliminated some of the classic details like the exposed screws that Balthy liked
  19. It seems with the ATS/CTS/CT6, Cadillac is trying to fit the big 3's A4/A6/A8, 3/5/7 or C/E/S ladder, but the pricing isn't in sync with the German ladders. Then they have the XTS which is an alternate outlier. Cadillac's structure seems to be closer to that of Lexus, with the IS/GS/LS with the ES as the alternate outlier.
  20. Looks like the undisguised exterior has been leaked, as seen on Autocar....pretty radical redesign.. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-detroit-motor-show/2018-mercedes-benz-g-class-leaks-ahead-detroit-motor-show?utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_campaign=Enews Bulletins&utm_content=ACAR ENews Bulletin_New (04.01.2018)::hero_headline&utm_source=20180104
  21. That's how it works..you post whiny drivel, you get a down vote..
  22. As an aside, maybe the way to reverse declining sedan sales is to make sedans from SUVs and CUVs...keep the high seating position, high roofline but have a squared off rear with a large trunk. Kind of like the wacky truck sedans in S America in the 60s-70s but more refined.
  23. Who knows...kind of confusing. I saw somewhere rumors that a US version of the Yuntu could be sold as a Chrysler....small/mid 3 row CUVs are hot right now, and FCA doesn't have any...
