    The rear door window shape reminds me of the old Isuzu Rodeo and Ascender

    Looks sweet...

    We had to put one of dogs to sleep today...our Australian Terrier rescue, Nauti (there is a long story behind the name), which we rescued 2 1/2 years ago on my sister's birthday (got her from the county shelter, was a stray due to be euthnanized), had a bad seizure this morning..she'd been undergoing chemo treatement for almost a year and her quality of life had been diminishing. As an aside, I think adopting dogs w/ my sister from local rescues and doing volunteer work w/ the rescues has made me a better person.

    Which nations need RHD anyway? The UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, some Carribbean countries, and others... http://www.worldstandards.eu/cars/list-of-left-driving-countries/

    Riviera would be the most obvious name if they were going for a heritage name..

    It's been a rainy, cool cloudy week here in the desert...nice change from the usual. This afternoon on one block in Scottsdale I saw an eclectic mix of cars parked on and off the street. A battered late model white Bentley Continental GT, a worn, tattered red LaForza SUV (haven't seen one of those in ages), a new Chevy City Express van in HVAC repair livery, a black Audi A8, a clean brown and tan mid '80s Ford Bronco, and a sharp silver '65 Olds Jetstar 1 coupe I've seen around for years...

    And like the i3 it has a crap range and it was limited to one state for sale so again not an apples to apples comparison here. Keep the excuses coming though. The M-B B-class electric is currently sold in 11 states.

    There was some talk of this and CES and the gameification angle on a daily tech news podcast I listen to. The hosts consistently called it the 'Volt'.

    Got to have 'X' in the name for it get attention...

    Production versions of a Ciel full size 4dr convertible and Elmiraj hardtop coupe would go along way towards making Cadillac really stand out again.. if M-B can build 2dr ht coupes, why can't Cadillac? Sure, build lots of 4cyl X* CUVs for the mass market lux volume, but build some bold low volume, high end models also...

    Well, they do have a LWB 3 series sedan in China.
  12. Robert Hall
    Most crossovers don't have AWD standard...they have the look, not the function. The 'X' means crossover and extra plastic cladding, really just tall wagons with slightly more ground clearance...

    Got to jump in the compact lux CUV niche while it's hot...

    With Axl, Slash, Duff, etc? Hell hath frozen over...

    Definitely convertible weather here, 60s and sunny today. But down in the 30s at night...

    All I know is in 8 years w the Jeep in Colorado I replaced the battery twice, and at least 5 times now in the last 7 years in the desert.
  17. Robert Hall
    Dead battery in the Jeep. Called AAA, got here in 20 min. Checked the paperwork, battery less than 2 years old (18 months is the normal lifespan here). Free replacement since still under warranty.

    My sister and I joke about being twins separated by 13 years..we are so alike in so many ways, personality, interests, etc. Our older brother, though, may as well be from a different planet..we are so different and incompatible.

    Since I've been on staycation since last Thursday, I've had great sleep...been able to stay up till 10:30 or 11 and sleep in until 7-7:30 (still dark then). It's great not getting up at my normal 5-5:30 during the work week.

    Or they could follow an Audi approach w/ a CT5 coupe and CT4 sedan. This leaves room for a CT0, CT1, CT2, and CT3 below...

    My furnace went out a couple weeks ago...was fun to go to sleep when it was 73 in the house, wake up at 3am w/ the A/C blowing cold and it down to 62...turned it off, woke up in the morning to 59 degrees inside. Got it repaired, but had a night without the furnace at all as they had to wait on a part...

    I like a lot of British TV also...as far as the cold case/murder genres, the UK crime shows are better IMO than the US ones....I like Waking the Dead (not to be confused with The Walking Dead zombiefest) in particular. Also Sherlock, New Tricks, George Gently ('60s set Northern England crime show), Broadchurch, River (recent short run show w/ Stellan Skarsgard), Wallander (filmed in Sweden w/ Kenneth Branaugh). The recent Amazon series Bosch was excellent also, derived from Michael Connelly's long running novels.

    It took me a couple tries to get into it, but I found it fascinating. I've watched NCIS and Criminal Minds, but I find shows like that to be boring, predictable, formulaic...the writing, acting, cinematography, locations and story hooked me on Breaking Bad...the epic tale of one broken man's rise from obscurity to criminal mastermind... I like the prequel series 'Better Call Saul' also.

    We FINALLY get wintery Quebec weather tomorrow. SNOW FREAKIN' STORM! Give me a HELL YEAH! 25-40 CM or in Yank speak...10-15 inches of pure Canadian snow! Living in the desert the last 8 winters, I kind of miss the big, dry snows I lived with on the Front Range in Colorado. 3 feet, close to 4 feet in 2-3 days in fall or spring, then 50-70 degree days and melting... I thought I was having a grand 'ol time when this El Nino stuff delayed the white stuff. Then I thought about it... when the 24th and 25th came and went....a green Christmas sucks big time. I hate the snow when it arrives, but I miss it when it aint present when its supposed to be present. I am sooooooo looking forward to this snow storm. And the province of Quebec issued an alert for the Montreal region. We rarely get a provincial warning...even when a snow storm is mentioned...so this one should be a biggie...and I cant wait for it to start! Desert? Las Vegas is where you call home now? Phoenix. Been out here since '08, lived in Colorado (Colorado Springs then Denver) from '97-08. But I'm originally from Ohio, lived in NE Ohio and SE Michigan, so I'm familiar with the fun of 'lake effect' snow..
