    Weird...the current AMG CLS is a 63--not a 43, since 5.5L supercharged V8 = 63 (some mystery math). So they are downgrading the CLS AMG from a 5.5L V8 to a 3.0 6? weird...they probably didn't want to use 'hybrid' in the name as that implies green and clean, not high performance which the AMG brand is supposed to be about...calling something an 'AMG Hybrid' would be as repellent as a 'V-series Hybrid' or 'M series Hybrid'.... Maybe the article meant the C-class, which is new now, and has an AMG 43 model, and 3.0 turbo = 43.

    the new grille and headlight treatment is too busy, IMO...I liked the '14-15 front better...

    I have used the 4WD mud setting a couple weeks ago when I was at the farm...worked well.

    Oh yeah... I never registered it in AZ, got a 90 day temporary tag then registered here in Ohio a couple weeks ago. My last moving Pod left a couple days ago, I had made the offer on the house in early December, closed in January..this move has been going on for a while...

    Of course, I'm one to talk since I bought a black Jeep..at least I have the cream interior...and it's not as big of an issue in Ohio than AZ, IMO.

    My ex-manager in Arizona just bought a '17 Silverado Midnight Edition..big all black truck...makes no sense in the desert--his previous '10 Silverado was white. The color matched trim just doesn't work for me, look cheap compared to chrome to my eyes, but it's good that the automakers give buyers lots of trim choices.

    It's still hard to wrap my head around the idea of a $60k light-duty pickup...that is a lot of money.

    I saw a 9-7x in clean shape just a couple days ago, dark red. I saw another one here in Ohio when I was here a few months ago, dark gray with a silver dollar-sized rust hole in the hood and rust bubbles around the rear wheel arches...

    Yeah, that jumped out at me..that's really f'ed up...it is confusing, the list of options says 'leather appointed buckets-$510.00.

    The Durango is nice.....as is the Tahoe. Had a '15 Tahoe as a rental a couple years ago, really enjoyed driving it...quite nice for a BOF full size, drove better than the previous gen Yukon I had driven. I don't need a 3-row, so the GC is fine for me..75% of the time it's just me in the car.

    Sounds like you need a minivan.

    I saw a few LaCrosses on the dealer lot in Phoenix, have seen a couple in traffic here in Ohio...it's a sharp car.. for big FWD Buicks, I always liked the look of the last 2 generations of Park Avenues.

    Cool...neat rear wing.

    Also commodity luxury models that are sold worldwide will likely continue to be built worldwide...the BMW 3-series is assembled on 4 continents in about 10 countries...

    Like George Clooney's character in Up in the Air... Years ago I had a coworker tell me I scared them...because when I'm being facetious or sarcastic I never change my tone of voice..

    True, would likely have to beef up various parts, etc....I've never looked at the AWD setup on an LX..not sure what the transfer case, etc looks like compared to GCs which I'm familiar with.. I would assume on a car the components are smaller/lighter duty, don't have the space or ground clearance you have with an SUV or truck..

    I had a Weathertech cargo area mat in my my old GC, plan to get one and Weathertech floor mats before winter for my new GC. Great products.
  18. Robert Hall
    IIRC, they did offer AWD with a V8 in the Charger and 300C, so the engineering work should be long ago done...

    My brother was looking a clean '69 Firebird 400 recently...bright blue, 4spd. He has owned a couple Pontiacs back in the late 70s-early 80s--a '74 Firebird 400 in dark blue and a '65 GTO in gold. But he has 10 cars and 7 motorcycles now, said he doesn't need any more vehicles.

    No, like '95-ish...there were a number of them built by an aftermarket company, used to see a couple around Scottsdale. I remember there was a black one in the 'Get Shorty' movie driven by Dennis Farina. I also did see a clean '80s one a few days ago--white w/ a white top sitting in a driveway.

    Saw a clean white w/ tan interior mid '90s Eldorado convertible tonight, top down..great convertible weather lately.

    I've found the site very slow to navigate today, with timeouts when clicking on topic links, on the 'Unread Content' link, etc. Some pages load quickly, some very slowly or are timing out.

    I like the look of the wide body..I figured they wouldn't leave that only with the Demon. Reminds me of JDM bosozoku style. The Camaro ZL-1 and 1LE are great performers on a track, no doubt...but the styling and cramped interior with tiny windows leaves me cold...love the Challenger styling, liked it since it first came out...
  24. Robert Hall
    Neat..haven't seen one of those in forever..appears to be a '77-78 (stacked rectangular lights). Fun trivia--the Plymouth version was called Fury from '76-78 (previously Satellite), the Dodge version (identical except for the grille, taillights, and badging) was called Coronet in '75, Charger Sport in '76 (2dr only, the 4dr was still Coronet), and Monaco for '77-78.

    Unfortunately, human rights are at the bottom of the priority list for global corporations, the current administration and Congress... (my cynical opinion...some say I'm a pessimist, I prefer 'realist').
