    Yes, would be a great sleeper. IIRC the 1st gen Seville had an Olds 350. Speaking of modded Sevilles, I recall reading an article in Car & Driver about one that someone modded, had a turbo BBC or something similar, race car suspension, roll cage, huge fender flares...the article must have been 30-35 years ago.

    It's mostly in regards to the styling. Not the hardware. I like the looks of the 3000GT, reminds me of the 4th gen Firebird, but nicer.

    Yes in English. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine Engine: a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion. synonyms: motor, machine, mechanism; jet, turbojet, turboprop, turbofan, turbine, generator "a power-generating engine"

    Well, the current model in it's base form does include a V6, 4 wheel drive, a 6 spd manual, 16 inch wheels, a soft top, removable doors, etc all standard, in a 2dr convertible bodystyle. Nothing else on the market offers that feature mix for $24k. Every other CUV/SUV at $24k is probably a FWD 4dr, 4cyl automatic or CVT appliance.. $16k in today's market only buys tiny FWD despair mobiles.. So in it's base form, the Wrangler is pretty well equipped..of course, there is a huge range of trim levels and options to push the price much higher.

    Yesterday made 6 months I'd had my Jeep. Ready for winter..Weathertech liner mats installed and new tors.

    Looks good. Very subtle evolutionary styling changes. Interior looks much improved. It will sell well, I think.

    Motors. Electric motors

    I recommend the HTML <sarcasm> </sarcasm> tags when it's not obvious..

    Makes sense to making it a CUV..the current one is kind of a almost-tall wagon (looks a lot like the Ford B-Max in profile).

    A vintage Ford that I could see amenable to restomodding is the '72 Gran Torino Sport..love the fastback shape. '73 killed the front end styling w/ the big bumper and by '74 the fastback was gone...

    The Forward Look cars are pretty cool also, but I'm way more of a '70s car fan than a '50s car fan.

    A. 27k 1. 2018 Jeep Compass Latitude 4x4 2. 14-15 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4. (been there, done that in April w/ my CPO GC) B. 34k 1. '17 Challenger GT AWD (there are new GCs at this price point, but they are low content Laredos) 2. '15-16 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack (I could also go for '16-17 Grand Cherokee at this price point also)

    Did Canada have the Scion brand?

    I love Challengers, and Cudas... but I figured they would be too predicable. Liked Challengers since seeing Vanishing Point on TV in the 80s. I really like most all late 60s-early 70s Mopars. I'd love to have a '70-71 Challenger, but I'll happily settle for a late model R/T or SRT sooner or later. As for the B-bodies, I know the usual favorites of many are the '68-69 Charger and Road Runners, but I really like the '71-72s...Charger, Road Runner and GTX..something about that fuselage shape gets me...

    Oddly I liked the Cube, maybe because most of my career, I've worked in office cubicles...(cubelife4evr was my handle on one forum ) It's too bad they never did a Nissan Cube Herman Miller Edition, with Herman Miller-designed office chair style seats, cubicle fabric on the door panels, etc. Maybe with Steelcase file cabinets in the cargo area... Unlike our Amish-region friend, I've never dissed Tesla and EVs--I want to see Tesla succeed as I am a fan of Silicon Valley tech companies, since I'm a techie...and I like EVs from the technology angle, not to mention the torque..interesting seeing the evolution of them... and I did buy a Fiat-owned vehicle..though it is of German-American origin more than Italian...

    I'm a sucker for the early 70s fuselage styling...the C-bodies are pretty uncommon today, but I love the styling.

    With the announcement of the crate motor Hellcat availability, I could see lots of interesting Mopar Pro Touring style cars built. Skipping the predictable A- B- or E- body based ones that 99% of the crate Hellcats will go in, I'd go for something offbeat--a C-body based build. Something like one of these as the starting point for Hellcatization--''69-72 Polara or Monaco, or a '74-75 Monaco...always liked the C-bodies of the fuselage and post-fuselage era. Or a Plymouth or Chrysler of the same era..(Dodges are my favorite styling-wise of those generations of C-body).

    As far as international availability of American pickups, the Ford F-series has been a staple in S. American countries like Argentina and Brazil for decades, used to be sold in Australia (but not anymore, apparently), and in some Middle Eastern countries...most all probably for commercial/ag use...
  19. Robert Hall
    The Cube seemed more like the xB than the Soul...and had a cool name and funky styling.
  20. Robert Hall
    Both ideas sound worthwhile. I know of sites that have ad block detectors I will whitelist the site if it's content I really enjoy. I don't mind paid subscriptions to good content; I do that already with the NY Times and Washington Post. I think I have a paid subscription here, not sure..(is there a way to check your subscription status?)

    A new compact CUV and a new Journey could do well for Dodge.
  22. Robert Hall
    I can see it now, a 390ZX, a 2dr, 2 seat crossover styled like a larger, sleeker Juke. Bring back the 'ZX' nomenclature, since 'X' implies crossover...
  23. Robert Hall
    Luxury car buyers that want something different than the usual German luxury car. And you are in New Jersey...lots of people of Italian ancestry, maybe they like Italian cars..;)

    I was curious, so I looked it up, there were 10 Nissan dealers in the Cleveland-Akron-Canton metro area...roughly 3.5mil people, 50 miles east to west, 50 miles north to south...
  25. Robert Hall
    Likely unrelated, but two local Nissan dealers shut their doors today.
