    I wonder if the CUV/SUV demand will fall off and sedans will rise again eventually....

    The LaCrosse Avenir looks good..esp. like the brown interior. Not sure about the wheels, though..a bit bland looking.

    Maybe they will be simulated flames. So as not catch pedestrians on fire. As far as Lamborghinis, the flames usually come from out of the engine compartment or underneath, as they tend to catch fire easily.

    The Prius looks mild by comparison, IMO

    Funny thing is the Navigator and Escalade will have the same transmission...presumably different tuning. (I assume both will get the Ford-GM JV 10spd auto?)

    ...and what about the Mirai..

    Oh, I understand the functional need to get air in..but can't they get air in without the violently ugly styling? Alas, it's not just Chevy..it seems most performance and performance luxury cars today go for the violent cartoon robot styling...so boring and overdone, IMO....

    The C7 styling is pretty over the top...same thing with the Camaro ZL1...great performance, nasty cartoon front end... Chevy--great performance, but such silly styling--can't they have beauty and performance? The transformer robot cartoon styling is so played out... too much plastic and carbon fiber cheese...

    I read the article in Car & Driver last night. It's the 6.2 LT5 with an Eaton supercharger..similar to the Z06, but larger supercharger, more power. 750hp, 680ft/lbs torque. Because the blower is so tall, the center of the hood is left open for it to stick out... The big rear wing and fin tips on the front air splitter are part of an option package...there is a 'base' ZR1 and the over-the-top one as pictured in the magazine article.

    auto pilot for planes or for tractors tractoring in fields are easier scenarios than driving, when you account for the other traffic, obstacles, road conditions, types of roads, etc...

    Remember, Lutz was not a designer...wasn't he more of a sales guy and product planner? Being in IT for 20+ years and seeing the complexity, fragility, bugs and insecurity of software on a daily basis, I can't imagine trusting software to control something as complex as driving....

    I think at one time maybe 15 years ago or so, Golfs in the US came from Germany and the Jettas came from Puebla, Mexico. Not sure about today...

    Just no market for a 2dr crossover w/ zero outward visibility, I guess...it was the Camaro of crossovers with it's silly tiny windows.

    Enjoying the fall weather this week..cool, windy..lots of rain a couple days, dry today..sun going in and out. Tree pics from my front and backyard.

    Mmm..given Opel's GM history, it would be very weird to see a non-GM Opel brand in the US...unless they would be trying to spin it's German nature in advertising/branding. (Though I'd rather see one of the French brands come here, like DS or Peugeot).

    Hmm...have you ever seen '70s-80s hatchbacks? The new Civic, the A7, Regal, etc have a slanted rear window profile like the Rover SD1/3500, Vega, Monza, Nova, Citation, and many others...hatchbacks don't have to have a near-vertical rear end like a wagon, SUV, or Golf, only an upward opening portal that includes the rear window, a folding rear seat, and no separation to the cargo area..

    Happy Birthday!

    Yes, and it's not limited one particular engine/transmission combo. Oddly, I've seen many people mentioning it on the forums, but no one seems to know what the noise is. And at least for me, it's not 100% of the time...
  19. Robert Hall
    Older Chrysler products were known for their distinctive starter noise. This is sort of the modern equivalent..:)

    Kind of a click-click-click

    I was 35 when I joined..

    Not sure if its something in the drivetrain or the wheel bearings or something, I've heard it (or something similar) in my GC with the windows down when coasting or stopping.
  23. Robert Hall
    Yeah, I see a lot of that on Jeep Forum and the WK2 FB page I frequent..though mostly w/ the WK2s it's a lot of Millenials asking how to black out their chrome, and modifying their vehicles.. The WK2 GC having been around since '11 has some well known issues, but mostly they seem to be electronic glitches w/ UConnect and the touch screen controls. I've had a couple minor issues w/ mine in the 6 months I've had it, with the outside door lock sensors and the alarm system and inside locks. And the Bluetooth and my iPhone pairing is inconsistent. But I've been happy overall so far..put 6000 miles on it so far.

    We all get old, unfortunately.

    Bummer...1st year gremlins, maybe? Have you checked the Jeep forums for similar experiences?
