    So an alternative to a the 3 series wagon?
  2. Robert Hall
    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.

    Yes, GLA not CLA...typo... would think I would have my MB TLA's straight...
  4. Robert Hall
    So it's BMW's answer to the GLA. Looks like the Hyundai Tucson from the rear.

    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...

    Caravan is still Dodge's highest selling model..

    Not sure about other countries, but the Chevy UK site only shows the Camaro and Corvette.

    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.

    I do like the thought of the return of inline 6s..always liked the ones I've driven and owned.
  10. Robert Hall
    Doubt it..Silverado Hybrid sales were very, very low...
  11. Robert Hall
    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...

    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

    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...
  14. Robert Hall
    Yes, standard script.

    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...

    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).

    That's definitely a custom, there were no factory Lincoln wagons that I know of..interesting..

    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.

    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..)
  20. Robert Hall
    Saw that..maybe meant a Mercury Colony Park? My Dad had Lincoln Continental and Town Car sedans when I was growing up..
  21. Robert Hall
    What's a ZJ220?
  22. Robert Hall
    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..
  23. Robert Hall
    They could carry on with a single model exclusive platform for the Camaro as Ford has done with the Mustang.
  24. Robert Hall
    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...
  25. 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.
