    Named after the California desert area. Anza-Borrego Desert State Park IIRC.

    I didn't realize they had a 7 seat version..must be very tight inside. Speaking of Kia and 7 seaters, remember the Kia Borrego? Was only sold in the US one year--2009...had a V8 option..used to see a few in Arizona and So Cal. Still sold outside the US as the Mohave.

    Sadly, I can't recall the last time I saw an Integra in clean, original condition. Around Phoenix that last decade I pretty much only saw clapped out Fast & Furious kiddie tuner versions...

    The funny thing is, I didn't realize Nautica was still a thing in clothes..I wore Nautica (and Ralph Lauren) quite a bit in my 20s.
  5. Robert Hall
    The name I'd rather have seen is 'Nautica', but that's too well known for the clothing brand, I guess.. Though the Nautica I really like is the Nautica in the Flats here in Cleveland.

    Back when they were new, I wouldn't haven't worried about the reliability..Hondas had a good reputation. But a 20 yr old car is another story..

    It's sharp...like the interior, esp. the color. It's funny how much the taillights, hatch and rear bumper resemble the Grand Cherokee...

    It's funny... my client bought this package from a US based company that has a product developed originally by IBM but now developed by a China-based out sourcing firm. And my team in Arizona and India have been customizing it the last 3+ years for operations in the US and Caribbean. It was supposed to be usable out of the box, but we've customized at least 75% of it (to add features and also just make the darn thing work--I've personally rewrote large chunks of it..)

    Got to love software and its bugs... I notice the auto follow feature works even on threads that I've read, but haven't commented on...like the new Samsung battery one. I've read the post and comments, it doesn't show me as following, but i'm getting emails. Meanwhile, I've spent a good part of today and yesterday IRL tracking down a weird user data validation bug in software installed in Barbados and Jamaica..figured it out.. invalid assumptions made about government ids made by the vendor in China..

    Neat...maybe indicative of where the next 4 Runner will go..the current 4 Runner is so darn ugly...this would be an improvement. I like the profile and rear, front's not bad. I've always thought the 4 Runner was a capable SUV, but never cared for the styling of the last couple generations. The 4 Runner circa 2000 was the only other SUV I seriously considered when I joined the Jeep family.

    Some similarities, but not identical in the details. Lighting is different, grille shape is different, cooling holes in the lower corner size and shape different. Given the size difference in the cars, no one would confuse one for the other. It's not like M-B is alone is having a familiar 'face' across model lines; Audi does it, BMW does it, Cadillac and Lincoln do it, Lexus does it, etc. Similar styling elements with detail differences for each model.
  12. Robert Hall
    There is a family resemblance, but not the same. Lots of differences in the details. M-B 'Coupes' all have the large badge in the center of the grille.

    I wonder if there are many stock, original Integras left...seems most of them (in the West, at least) got tarted up F&F style by the kiddies...a stock Integra seems as much a unicorn as a stock Mustang LX 5.0. As far as Acuras go, I really like the Legend coupe, both generations. My sister had a '91 Legend coupe that I drove occasionally, was a sweet car. As far as the choice--it's apples and oranges--comparing a 20 yr old car w/ a new car. I wouldn't want an old car except as a toy, a new car would be a daily driver. So I'd go with the 2017 equivalent of the Integra--a Civic coupe (maybe the only sport compact 2dr left?). Problem is, Civic coupes target the 25 yr old demographic..I'm probably too old to drive one.

    Looks sharp, looks like a Wrangler. Like the interior upgrades and subtle exterior changes.
  15. Robert Hall
    Hmmm..normalized compared to the quirky Juke. Odd name..isn't 'kicks' what the kiddies call shoes?
  16. Robert Hall
    There are always women in suburbia that want a Lexus to haul around their offspring, these will sell...

    I can understand the auto follow, but when I go to the thread, it doesn't show as I'm following and I don't get the option to unfollow.

    I have noticed weirdness in the email notifications. Instead of seeing the actual response to a comment in the email, I see weird stuff like '18 minutes ago' or the first few words of a response. I'm also getting email notifications on threads I haven't followed (but have posted a comment in). dfelt said: 18 minutes ... Go to this post

    If they wanted to bring back an old Lincoln name, Capri would be good for the MKC. Or Aviator. Too bad Compass is a Jeep name; would go great with Navigator... I'd like to see Cadillac ditch their alphanumerics and bring back some of their great names---deVille, Eldorado, Seville, Fleetwood, Biarittz... An Escalade Fleetwood Brougham trim would be neat to see, instead of Platinum which is also a Ford truck trim.
  20. Robert Hall
    Cool...good to see they are ditching the alphanumerics...maybe the MKZ will revert to Zephyr and the the MKC will become...?
  21. Robert Hall
    Well, since the other Wranglers have a choice of soft top or removable hardtop, this was no surprise...
  22. Robert Hall
    Ya.. I have plenty of stuff...I get stuff when I need it or want it, not in response to advertising. Did all my holiday shopping over the weekend...at a couple wineries, on eBay and on Amazon. No waiting in lines or other nonsense.
  23. Robert Hall
    Black Friday, Cyber Monday, all bullshit marketing nonsense to get people to buy crap they don't need.
  24. Robert Hall
    Had great weather on the North Coast for late November. Visited a few wineries and did a bit of holiday shopping at them, saw some lighthouses, walked on beaches...great scenery and roads..Jeep drove great.
  25. Robert Hall
    I don't the XT5 is much bigger..it's wheelbase is a couple inches longer than the SRX was IIRC...they need a larger Caddy CUV on the Traverse/Enclave wheelbase, I think..XT7?
