  1. Yes, that's the standard config. The Yukon Denali is similar, maybe a bit less chrome. I think they aren't bad in stock form--like the stock chrome w/ dark brown or dark red paint, for example... but so many get tastelessly tricked out with oversized ugly aftermarket wheels, additional chrome added, etc.
  2. We even had our own electric car here in Cleveland back in the day, the Baker. It had cab forward/tall cab design, was of course available in the trendy black color, with blackwall tires and flashy gold panel pin striping..
  3. With a name like Thor, would have thought they would have had Mjolnir (Thor's hammer) as the logo..;) Maybe the Thor truck can make an appearance as Thor's ride in an upcoming Marvel movie...
  4. I wonder if it will be available in brown like the X1.
  5. I'd take the SS, easily. Though the E39 is considered the best M5 by many, I wouldn't want to deal with an old German car..
  6. To match the GLA. It will sell.. crossovers are hot, everyone is adding more.
  7. They get the privilege of paying more for less reliability and more electronics issues.
  8. So an alternative to a the 3 series wagon?
  9. First gen looked CR-Xish...the 2nd gen looked like a Civic-Prius mashup, this one looks like the new Civic w/ Accord influences. Very normalized.
  10. Yes, GLA not CLA...typo... would think I would have my MB TLA's straight...
  11. So it's BMW's answer to the GLA. Looks like the Hyundai Tucson from the rear.
  12. Offer a CT6 Brougham w/ white wall tires, chrome wheels, extra chrome and gold trim, padded top, bench seat and column shift and that may bring in the older customers...
  13. Not sure about other countries, but the Chevy UK site only shows the Camaro and Corvette.
  14. Still has a bit of the oddness of the grille in the hood that the original had, but definitely improved as far as the lighting and lower fascias. Hatch is improved also, looks like it lost much of the undercut oddness below the lights.
  15. I do like the thought of the return of inline 6s..always liked the ones I've driven and owned.
  16. They have done this before..either with the current generation or the previous, didn't the previous generation stick around for a year or so as the Silverado Classic or something like that...
  17. I have seen this '56 Lincoln wagon in Scottsdale (it's an Arizona car)..don't know the provenance, I assume built by a coach builder 60+ years ago. Never seen a '60s one, nor any hearses..don't think I've ever seen a '70s Lincoln wagon or hearse either. http://www.misterw.com/Lincoln/56LincolnWagon04.html
  18. Aren't inline 6s generally too wide for transverse use? I assume one reason auto makers like V6s is they can work with north-south and transverse configurations. GM had the Atlas inline engines for trucks and SUVs in the 00's but they are gone...
  19. Found a pic of a beige one on Pinterest, but no information..may be a Photoshop (looks like a '65-68 Ford or Mercury rear roof). I've seen plenty of custom coach built Cadillac wagons over the years in magazines and at Barrett-Jackson, etc so I'm sure there were a few similarly custom built Lincoln wagons over the years...
  20. It was a victim of timing, and Cadillac's image. Infiniti and Lexus have found some success w/ their compact luxury sports sedans and coupes in part because of their 'newness' as brands and their Japanese quality reputation. Cadillac, for better or for worse, has a lot of history and a lot of baggage. So many people my age and younger still today seem to only think of Cadillac as grandpa cars or bling trucks (Escalade).
  21. That's definitely a custom, there were no factory Lincoln wagons that I know of..interesting..
  22. AMGs are mass produced today, though..they build a lot more than 224. As far as Mercedes last inline 6, it was fairly old when they replaced them in the 90s..they did have some AMG and Brabus variations. My sister had a '91 300CE w/ the 3.0 I6...not a particularly fast car, but the engine was very smooth and liked to rev.
