  1. Haven't driven a current Yukon, but I did have a Tahoe LT for a long weekend a couple years ago...it drove very well on winding, mountainous northern AZ roads and freeways..didn't drive like a big truck, IMO... and I had driven a couple of the previous generation Yukons and could tell a difference in the feel.
  2. Wouldn't surprise me....Next Big Thing for Tesla...
  3. It's the Middle East for which they need the Ferrari SUV, I think....to get a piece of the Range Rover, Benyaga, G-class market...
  4. It does seem like an expensive proposition that a new specialized platform like this would be a one-model vehicle, but the current front-mid engine Corvette is also a one model platform...
  5. Hard to get excited by today's supercars...most will either a) catch fire if driven, b) be stored away in a garage and rarely driven, or c) driven by unskilled douchebags that will crash them. Boring....
  6. Saw a really clean bright red w/ woodgrain '72 Caprice Estate wagon for sale in a driveway..
  7. It does have the crossed flags emblem and 4 round taillights, so I could see it as a Corvette prototype... As far as the current mid-engined mule, the shape reminds me of the Porsche Carrera GT from a decade ago or so...but a lot of mid-engined supercars have a similar profile.
  8. Speculation has been that it will be named Corvette Zora...which would be cool...
  9. Probably will be over 500k by Labor Day..
  10. Seems like it would a costly effort to federalize any of their models for the US...
  11. The crossover would probably have 800k reservations in today's market.
  12. There is a Marauder a few streets over from me in that same color...I still would like to have one.
  13. Ok, here are my picks. All are restaurants here in the Cleveland area I've eaten at recently. I could do another list for Phoenix/Scottsdale--as I know the restaurant scene there better, but it's in my rearview now. 1. Muscle: Dodge Challenger SRT 392. Traditional Murican: Burntwood Tavern, Independence, OH Wood and stone local chain. Brewpub atmosphere. http://www.burntwoodtavern.com 2. Italian- Alfa Romeo Guilia QF Italian dining--Corleones in Parma, Oh. Old school, dark white table cloth Italian restaurant http://corleonescleveland.com/ 3. Vintage 4dr: 2004 Mercury Marauder. Ethnic restaurant: Jaipur Junction, tasty Indian place in North Royalton, Oh http://www.thejaipurjunction.com/Menu.html 4. Modern sedan: Chrysler 300C. Tasty but cheap restaurant: Melt Grilled in Independence, Ohio. Anything and everything grilled cheese. https://meltbarandgrilled.com/locations/ 5. luxury SUV: Cadillac Escalade Platinum. Fine dining: Pier W, Lakewood, OH. Beautiful seafood restaurant overlooking Lake Erie. http://pierw.com
  14. it's hard to believe that after 50 years of mid-engined Corvette prototypes and speculation, it may actually happen. Though I figure odds are good it will get cancelled before production begins...
  15. Caught a glimpse of a dark green early Chrysler Córdoba in a residential garage in my neighborhood.
  16. At one point a few years ago, there were like 23 variations of the 911 available. Lots of variety is good.
  17. Tough to limit to 5, but here goes... 1971 Buick Riviera (got to get something 70s in there) BMW E39 M5 (considered the best M5 by some) Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca (my favorite modern Mustang) Dodge Challenger Hellcat Cadillac Escalade ESV (wanted a big modern luxo cruiser in there)
  18. Going with all-European as I couldn't think of any American car V12s in the last 50 years. English: (both in shades of green) Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Jaguar E-Type V12 German: BMW M760Li Mercedes CL600 (love this roofline) Italian: (albeit a flat 12) 1985 Ferrari Testarossa (Because I still love the Big 80s)
  19. Too bad Amazon has the 'Fire' name trademarked; they could have named this the Note Fire...maybe they could use the name 'Torch' or 'Blaze'...
  20. I haven't seen anything definitive, but my understanding is this is going to be the top-of-the-line Corvette? And that the current C7 Stingray will carry on as the 'volume model'. Of course, if they were paying attention to the market, they really should be developing a Corvette CUV to compete w/ the Cayenne....and a Corvette 4dr to compete w/ the Panamera...
  21. I always liked the styling of the '64-65 Mopar B-body hardtops w/ that neat C-pillar shape...
  22. My high school in the Florida Keys had an auto shop class..I remember kids working on a mid '70s Marquis and a '76 Firebird Formula in there senior year...I didn't take shop, was on the college prep track taking AP Physics and Calculus...graduated w/ 24 hrs college credit. Though I would have liked to have taken something where I worked w/ my hands rather than my head all the time...
  23. My buddy with the Volt and soon Bolt has two teenage sons--they have no interest in driving, they want self-driving cars..given how sharp they are technically, they probably will go work building self-driving car software eventually... different world out there than when I was in high school...getting my license then my first car was a Big Deal to me as a teenager...
