    Heh-heh...though I'm not a big 50s fan, most were recognizable...I could have gotten the Rambler through process of elimination....it was the most obscure..did it without googling photos. The only one I had to guess at was the first, wasn't sure it was a Lincoln or a Continental....(wasn't sure the year they stopped marketing Continental as a separate division, Continental fans go apeshit on FB over people calling the '56-58 models 'Lincoln Continentals'). Then I remembered Continentals had egg crate grilles. Too much obscure automotive trivia in my head..

    I remember the Ford Ranger EVs about 15 years ago or so...City of Scottsdale had a few in use for various purposes, saw one still in use back around 2010. Definitely seems like a market would be there for EV pickups and vans for municipal use.

    There was a LWB 300 of the '05-10 version, may have been available in the US for black car services..not sure.
  4. Robert Hall
    I could see the Pacifica as a Dodge, the 300 could exist as a separate Dodge model above the Charger, maybe renamed Monaco or Polara... (but not Dynasty.. ;))

    Billions seems a bit high..the Journey is on an old Mitsu platform, isn't it? It had a trivial refresh in '11.

    The current European Passat is on MQB. I assume the US model will stay on NMS for cost reasons...

    I love my '14 GC Limited...maybe in a few years I'll replace it with a GC Trailhawk or Summit... my tastes skew more towards the luxury side than off-road capability (though if I were still in Colorado I'd definitely go for the Trailhawk). It's going to be interesting to see how the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer turns out..what I've read is it will be BOF based on the NG Ram, in two wheelbases...basically a Jeep Yukon competitor...that would be a neat thing to see..

    I hope they can pull it all off...I want to see them survive and thrive..want to buy more Jeep products in the future...

    Long term FCA is going to have to invest in new platforms and new models. Unless their end game is really to sell Jeep and Ram and shutter Chrysler and Dodge...

    Can't really compare a Tesla to a Jeep. The Model X is just a tall hatchback sedan w/ stupid doors, not a proper SUV. or even a CUV.. As far as the 8 different GC variations go, the Trackhawk doesn't really appeal to me..if I were buying a new one, I'd rather have a Summit or Trailhawk..better all around for real world use.

    It's subtle in typical VW style. It's for adult buyers, not the obnoxious styling of a Civic Type R that's targeting kiddies. Body kits belong to the 80s-90s, that cheese would be out of place today, IMO...
  12. Robert Hall
    Right... will edit that.

    Something like these? |Buick Century N> Toyota Century |Dodge Challenger (70-74) Y>Dodge Challenger (77-83) R> Mitsubishi Galant Eterna R>Plymouth Sapporo |Dodge Challenger (70-74) N> Mitsubishi Challenger (90s SUV-Asia) R> Mitsubishi Montero Sport (US)

    A Durango Hellcat would make sense for someone wanting a 3rd row, as well as a Ram pickup Hellcat. A Ram ProMaster Hellcat would be cool, but unlikely given the amount of work to fit the engine. May as well go out over the top..

    Ah, yeah..supposed to get 80% eclipse in Cleveland. It's also my brother's birthday.

    I know Uber does a lot of their autonomous vehicle testing in Arizona...I saw their Ford Fusions with the whirly navigation thingys on the roof pretty frequently in Scottsdale over the last few years. Also GM with Chevy Bolts.

    And haboobs/dust storms... there are issues in every climate.
  18. Robert Hall
    The complexity of winter weather driving seems like it would be quite a challenge for autonomous systems. That's why desert environments are a good first target for such systems.

    All 1959s it looks like... Row 1: Lincoln, Mercury, unknown, Chrysler,Studebaker Lark Row 2: Olds, Plymouth, Chevy, Edsel Row 3: Dodge, Ford, Cadillac, DeSoto, Buick.

    Would be interesting to see an OEM build something with those wheel hub motors, interesting concept.
  21. Robert Hall
    I wonder if Ford is thinking about doing a Raptor-like version of the Ranger....(Rangtor? SubRaptor?)
  22. Robert Hall
    How about EVs? (full electric)
  23. Robert Hall
    Ah, didn't realize those were two different cars in those pics..the blue one and the black one.
  24. Robert Hall
    I see the diesel listed, but no Hybrid version.. http://www.chevrolet.com/byo-vc/client/en/US/chevrolet/cruze/2017/cruze/features/trims/select/1?styleOne=383399

    Comparing SUV performance to compact sedan performance is absurd.....and how does any of this nonsense relate to a mid-engined Corvette?
