    Would be an interesting starting point to build something using a Prius drivetrain, or a Lexus IS-F drivetrain. Keep it all Toyota, sell the big block to a Chevy fan. A Chevy engine in anything not GM is just so wrong, IMO (excluding speciality cars that came w/ Chevy engines like the Iso Grifo in the 60s).

    That's cool..don't think I've ever seen a Roadmaster limo.

    That was a Hot Wheels car...they made it in a couple different colors. Tomica also made a Seville, smaller scale than the HW, w/ opening front doors..

    Well, Jeep has done the compact 4dr convertible SUV, but I'd really like to see a 4dr convertible full size sedan w/ 4wd (and lots of ground clearance..)

    Some really cool details...like the ram emblem w/ wings on each side above the bumper...interesting..so Dodge had the ram brand imagery that far back..
  6. Robert Hall
    Well, the bumper does need to extend out past the decklid/hatch to protect the decklid/hatch from damage in low speed crashes..

    Found a few HWs that were new to me...a silver and red '68 Nova and a silver '69 Chevelle in the Garage series, and in the Hot Ones series, a yellow '80 El Camino and a grey '84 Grand Prix stock car.

    Wierd..very wierd. Instead of a flat roof, would have worked better w/ a peaked roof w/ shingles, eaves, an attic, gutters and a downspout.

    The Regal would be a natural, since the Insginia is offered w/ a diesel in Europe, and I'm sure the Malibu will be in some markets.

    I'd like to drive a modern diesel... the only diesel I had extensive experience was an '84 Escort 2.0. I've had a couple diesel rentals in Europe in '03 and '04 (Merc A-class and C-class)..

    They get under your skin...part of the family. Emotionally been a rough afternoon. We still have 4 terriers at home... Madeline a 12 yr old Westie--- And the black and tans--Ginny---5lb Yorkie, Nauti (aka Bitey Beast)--an Aussie, and Tinky, a Silky rescue.. I grew up w/ big dogs and small dogs--folks had German Shepherds, Dobermans, Cairn Terriers and Schnauzers....it's never easy to lose one..

    The funny thing is the only two times I've ever seen Maybachs the were in use as hotel limos...once at the Luxor in Las Vegas, and once at a hotel in Beverly Hills.
  14. Robert Hall
    I've had a diesel before, would definitely consider one again...

    Mac had been going down hill for sometime from cancer, losing weight, no energy, going blind. He was a shadow of his former, fiesty self. He will be missed.

    If the Crue diesel puts up say 50 mpg with equal acceleration to the gas version it may catch on. But I wonder if it is easier to sell diesels to in the luxury price range where people are more likely to spend the extra money for the extra torque. I don't think most people buy diesels in *cars* for the torque, i think most just think of them the same as hybrids, better gas mileage Probably....most general public buyers don't have any idea what 'torque' is.

    Food coma...watching reruns of 'Chasing Classic Cars' on Velocity

    Didn't realize the T&C outsold the GC 2 to 1....seem to recall Chrysler used to have the least sales of their minivans. It makes sense, though, consolidate with one and reduce marketing/etc costs...
  19. Robert Hall
    I read somewhere that most 2013 Malibus available in 2012 would be the ECO trim level.
  20. Robert Hall
    Meow...'Lynx' would be a good name for a small cat-named car brand.

    That last Buick concept (LaCrosse?) had a beautiful profile (2nd pic)....
  22. Robert Hall
    No...big difference in appearance when the window trim bleeds over into the A-pillar..it's very unpleasant aesthetically.. I suspect they aren't just cheap black plastic... probably a very expensive composite material.
  23. Robert Hall
    That's different...the triangle is on the door and not in the a-pillar. the 458 Italia looks much better in person than in photos..the front grille insert is designed to deform at high speed to increase downforce.
  24. Robert Hall
    ??? Can't think of any Ferrari w/ the triangle in the a-pillar detail...I'm thinking Honda Civic, Ford Fiesta, Prius, etc.
  25. Robert Hall
    Yes, as you've stated 800,000 times. Try staring at any OTHER spot on cars for a while. Couldn't have been more than 50 times.. Well, there is also the window or black triangle in the a-pillar detail on many FWD cars that I also don't like...though it's not a FWD only detail--the Ford Aerostar had it and many mid engined models have it.
