    Ahh, the XJ220. A very low volume supercar with a handbuilt engine. Not really comparable to M-B's production engines. (the only ZJ I know was the first gen Grand Cherokee, and I know there was no 220 variation..)
  2. Robert Hall
    Saw that..maybe meant a Mercury Colony Park? My Dad had Lincoln Continental and Town Car sedans when I was growing up..

    What's a ZJ220?

    I did like the sizable 3 car garages I saw in suburban Denver, though the tract houses were so bland and generic 1990s-2000s...3 feet from the house next door, 3000 sq ft house on a 4000sq ft lot, 3 car garage, $450k (10 years ago, more now). Those garages were designed to fit Tahoes, Suburbans and other typical family trucksters of the day..

    They could carry on with a single model exclusive platform for the Camaro as Ford has done with the Mustang.

    Things always seem bigger than they are...the longest American cars were about 235 inches in the mid 70s--Imperials, Cadillac Fleetwoods, Lincoln Continentals..still under 20 feet. Suburbans are in that length range also. Crew cab pickups are longer of course...
  7. Robert Hall
    Actually, the biggest wagons of the 60s-70s were only about 19.x feet long. (a '71 Pontiac Grand Safari was 230.x long, which is just over 19 feet, for example). 22 feet would be longer than a Cadillac 75 ambulance/hearse. 20 feet is 240 inches, don't think any regular production non-limo was that long back then. I need to measure my garage inside or check and see if the dimensions are somewhere in the paperwork.

    The current generation of Tahoe/Suburban has the fender tabs, thought it looked weird when it first came out, but it's ok depending on the color, IMO. I like when automakers have different trims with chrome or monochrome or blackout...choice is good.
  9. Robert Hall
    As far as the new Chevy, I guess I want to see more trims before I can make an opinion of it..I don't care for blackout or body color trim, so I'm curious what a regular version with chrome front trim look like..an LTZ maybe. It's hard to tell the how the light clusters wrap the corners from that photo..are they flat or rounded?

    For a suburban tract house built in 1967, my two car garage is rather small.... my Jeep fits in, I haven't tried getting my sister's Trax in also...probably would have to fold up the mirrors on both. When I think 1967 suburbia, I think Country Squire wagons and other full size cars of the day, but this builder must have been thinking two Beetles in the garage.

    It's a Texas thing, I guess..kind of it's own world down there...State Fairs seem like something the rural folk go to. I know over the last 10 years or so, lots of new pickups and concepts have been revealed at the Texas State Fair....

    Saw one this morning...dark red, filthy and covered in salt..
  13. Robert Hall
    Interesting...hadn't heard of that concept...I was thinking of something more like an SRT style Ram Hellcat, not off road style.

    ^agreed about the Passat. Had a rental earlier this year for 3 weeks..I've had most of the late model mid size sedans as rentals over the last 3 years. The Passat has the best outward visibility of the ones I've driven, big trunk, definitely *feels* bigger inside than the Fusion, new and previous Malibu, previous Camry, Altima and Sonata. Drives quite nicely also. Not as flashy as the competition, but solid and comfortable.
  15. Robert Hall
    No point in making the Passat larger; the Arteon will occupy the spot the CC formerly held. I guess since the car market in the US is shrinking they probably don't need something like the Polo or Up! here below the Jetta.
  16. Robert Hall
    I am surprised there isn't a Ram Hellcat out now...would be so perfectly over the top...
  17. Robert Hall
    better than using 'dropped' as used in the recording industry..
  18. Robert Hall
    I have a Tamiya 1/24th scale model of a '60s one. The '70s-80s versions were neat also.
  19. Robert Hall
    Alpines. Old and new versions. French sports cars.

    The light cluster corners have those odd tabs like the Tahoe/Suburban, but different. The current model only had a 5 yr run, pretty short compared to past GM pickups. I still like the '14-15 Silvi front better than the busier fronts since then.
