    Yes....as long as the dirty bits are reliable (most are today), it's the interior gadgets that count. Because that is where people spend their time w/ a car. Inside. And most buyers don't care about performance or handling, since most driving today is tedious and dull...the slog to work on congested freeways and city streets, driving through crowded parking lots, dodging incompetent drivers and zombie pedestrians. Rarely does one have time to actually have 'fun' driving a car. Thus the excitement about Google's self-driving cars...

    And few (esp. younger buyers) wants a stripped down car of any size. Interior content and electronic features is as important as mileage and price to younger buyers.

    I don't recall, which truck was ROPOS? Was that the '80s Chevy crew cab?

    Coming home tonight saw an older GMC military truck, one of the olive drab 6 wheeled ones w/ a tarp over the bed...parked on a side street...

    That's what I was thinking...couldn't remember which magazine had it.. I like that front end.

    It is really nice here in winter. It's a bit warmer than normal right now. But I wouldn't recommend visiting between May and September..... too warm. This is my 5th year here, hope to be gone within 2 years...

    I like the consistent design language Porsche uses across generations..evolutionary instead of revolutionary.

    I've always liked the Eagles..kind the forerunner of the Outback and Cross Country wagons. And the 3dr hatchback, 2dr etc variations were a hoot.

    4drs are just so much easier to get in and out of in parking garages (where is seem to park most of the time), and I always put my backpack w/ laptop for work in the back seat..easier to get it out by opening a door than the old fold & slide w/ a 2dr... but for a sporty car or fun car, I like 2drs...I've had a few over the years (Mustangs and an M3). I used to believe that myself till I bought the 2008 Trailblazer SS and now am sold on performance 4 doors. No 4dr performance convertibles these days, though. For my mid 40s crisis car, I'm thinking Mustang GT convertible, Camaro SS convertible, or late model Boxster. If GM made it, would you go for a 4 door Volt Performance Convertible version? nooo. No FWD for me.

    I've been happy w/ the 4.0L 6 in my Grand Cherokee....put 140k miles on it so far...had to replace some accessories and misc stuff (coil packs, sensors, water pump, etc) but it's been pretty reliable.

    I like the lighting...the ATS has some rounding of the edges, but still pretty pointy.

    Practicality usually always wins. True for families, 4 doors will always win and youth with active life styles seem to rather have 4 doors than two. The two door CUV's, SUV's etc are going to the history bin. Thought I do love me a 2 door Yukon GT! About 15 years ago when I had my Bronco II, i was looking at buying a full size Bronco or 2dr Tahoe. But I prefer the practicality of 4drs since i got my Grand Cherokee.
  15. Robert Hall
    Nice...just need some 'Mr Plow' decals for the doors and you are ready for the winter...

    Can't really tell from the race car panels, but the Commodore refresh from what I've read may have an updated nose and tail, but the midsection (roof, greenhouse, doors) should be the same as the current model...it's not a total redesign. I assume the Chevy and Commodore versions will differ in the fascias and maybe the hood. Anyhoo, I assume all will be revealed in the next 90 days..

    I could see that...the subcompact 5dr wagon/cuv niche seems to be growing (Mini Countryman, Encore, etc)
  19. Robert Hall
    yeah yeah..that's why I qualified it with 'similar'. Those are fairly realistic stickers.
  20. Robert Hall
    So basically picture a G8 with lighting and front fascia similar to the race cars..

    The previous Batmobiles have been too big to be nimble in the crowded streets of Gotham, this will work perfectly...
  22. Robert Hall
    Sounds like this one is for the eco kiddies.... BMW still has the serious stuff for drivers (M models) and the regular models for the stereotypical pricks.
  23. Robert Hall
    Huh? I thought BMW's compact and subcompact stuff was all going to be FWD....
  24. Robert Hall
    Paint it flat black and it can be the new Batmobile (since Bruce Wayne is broke now, he has to economize).
  25. Robert Hall
    Yes, I know if I bought a 2 seat sports car, I'd want a convertible...
