The Equus targets the S. Korean market primarily, I can't see it making much impact in NA. The Hyundai brand which is known in NA for cheap, disposable generics doesn't help. -
I remember as a kid in Ohio in the '70s-80s my folks and my brother had many cars without air, I remember riding around on vinyl seats w/ the window down (270 or 470 air, I heard it referred to as). People put up with a lot more hardships in the olden days, I guess...I couldn't imagine not having A/C today. I'd love to see a modern IROC series...
-
I wonder how the ZL-1 will look...or the base model. So this is using the Z06 engine or a variant there of, whilst the ZL-1 uses the ZR-1 engine...nice.
-
I just saw a rear-end pic, looks good from behind...a bit of a '69 styling cue in the 3 element taillights w/ a twist...
-
Neat to see the Z/28 name come back. Couldn't imagine not ordering A/C unless I was living in the Arctic Circle (or buying to use as a race car).

Saw one a few min ago in the evening commute that I haven't seen in ages-mid '90s Mazda MX-6 coupe...was on a shared platform w/ the 2nd gen Probe...was a good looking car back in the day, IMO..had a buddy in grad school that had one. The one I saw today was gold and in good shape.
-
Saw a white and gray Local Motors Rally Fighter in traffic today, pretty cool.... I'd seen them in articles online and at a car show, but never in traffic...it's a wild-looking 4x4 coupe built here in AZ, I used to drive by their factory out in the Chand when I worked out there..
-
Interesting..repaints of last years concepts..and they renamed the Code140 to TRU140? Maybe that show had a lot of fans of the last gen Eclipse, hence the popularity of the TRU..
-
As far as the hood goes, it would have been more interesting if they had done a retro modern spin on past Camaro SS hoods, like the '67-69 or '80s Z-28 hood. The front looks goofy and angry.
-
I wonder if it is a reskinned Golf or Jetta...past A3s shared a lot w/ the Golf, IIRC.
-
Now that I posted this, I'm being swarmed by them. Kind of seems to always happen that way...mention something that seems hidden, and it appears..opens your awareness to them.
-
As cheap as it is w/ the rust, it would make a good winter beater, if the mileage is accurate.
-
Looks like a decent MCE.
-
Yeah...look at all that bare painted metal inside...very old school..not even a headliner. Probably very noisy inside at freeway speeds.
-
Could it be the Mercedes overtones? I do see a lot of 'Art and Science + Mercedes proportions' here..... I like how it looks distinctly RWD...you wouldn't confuse this w/ a FWD model. The greenhouse is very Mercedes to me, the side window treatment is very similar to the current C- and E-class...I would have preferred more angular cutlines for the upper door openings like the current CTS...but all in all, I like it. I hope they do a coupe and convertible.
-
Maybe...I really like the short overhang.
-
The 500L should have been the 600, to use an old Fiat people mover name. They should bring the Panda here for the crossover. Create distinct identities for each model.
-
Looks solid. Would be a nice project car to swap a modern drivetrain into..I love that era of big Cadillac.
-
Seeing the full car now, quite impressive..looking forward to seeing it in person.
-
Saw a sharp dark red '56 Lincoln MK II w/ whitewalls and no hubcaps parked in a driveway this morning...
-
Some of the Raptors around here look like they have actually been taken off road out in the desert or up in the mountains... I've seen ones w/ lots of mud, dents, scratches...
-
Sweet Impala...I always liked the look of the '77-79 coupes..
-
Sharp car...interesting wheels...wonder what those are..
-
Agreed it is pointless to argue about turbo count or installation configuration--GM has figured out what is appropriate for their usage of this engine in various models. As far as the '14 CTS goes, it looks pretty cool in the new teaser photos out there today...what do you all think?
