Probably a few more, but they would all be retired and living in AZ or Florida.. j/k I'd love to have a new Crown Vic/Grand Marquis sized RWD equivalent from Ford, full sized w/ the new 5.0 V8 and 2011 era interior content (Sync, etc). notgonnahappen.com.

I saw the '12 Focus sedan at the auto show last weekend...looks to be pretty nicely done..saw the '11 Elantra and Cruze also.
-
Hopefully stretched and widened...the Fusion currently is pretty narrow..
-
Meh...that's just a truck. And they have buckets up front.
-
And the Fifth Ave wasn't even a full size, it was more of a small midsize (the M-body was derived from the F-body Aspen/Volare, which were considered compacts). Times change...bench seats and big trunks have been on the way out for a long time, with the Ford Panther models and the DTS and Lucerne being the last to have such features.
-
I like it..not as slab sided as it's predecessor. Looking forward to seeing this and the Charger in person.
-
With Mazda and Volvo out of the picture, I wonder what Ford's plans for their next gen mid and full size cars are...
-
Saw a Cruze for the first time on the road today..a silver one...not bad.

Interactive Review: 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 2500 Crew Cab 4WD

Isn't yours the previous generation (GMT-800)? With each successive redesign, it seems weight is added to most vehicles. -

Daymn...that is one obese truck....20 years ago, a 4x4 crew cab was what, under 5000lbs? Insane...no MPG rating..wierd...what's the MPG--10 city, 12 highway? -

I wonder what the story was behind those....GMC dealers wanted a cheap model to compete w/ Chevy dealers? Strange...
-
Not to change the thread subject, but for a bit of trivia, anyone know when did GMC stop using Pontiac V8s or GMC 6s and switch to Chevy engines in their light duty trucks?
-
On the other hand, I don't like the idea of secret diplomatic documents being stolen and released...that's unethical journalism. I wouldn't be surprised of Julian Assange ends up disapeared courtesy of the CIA.
-
I wasn't surprised...I suspect many Middle Eastern countries, esp. those that have a lot of financial/business ties to the West, aren't too happy about the prospect of an armed and dangerous Iran...

Interesting...the one I drove a few months ago seemed pretty buttoned down, the steering was light, but didn't seem overly artificial. I liked the hefty feel and size of the car...I got to drive it on a mix of So Cal freeways, city streets, and twisty canyon roads..only really noticed the FWD when I squealed the tires on a couple corners. I'd love to drive a SHO, though..sat in one yesterday, with the saddle suede seat and door inserts...love the interior.

Saw another Lincoln Blackwood today...and a couple base '10 Camaros, a red one and a white one, both w/ the black steelies w/ trim rings.

I bet that driveway is fun in the winter when it's covered in ice. -
Saw one today..not bad. Saw and sat in the Equus, that is pretty nice in a garish sort of way.
-
The XJ-C was only built from '75-78..pretty rare. Would look better w/o the lame blackout, though. They came w/ vinyl tops standard (because otherwise the roof paint would crack since they were a 2dr ht). I think the XJ-C was Jaguar's only 2dr ht ever..

Let's see...some typical road test questions--how is it to parallel park? How is the rear and side visibility? How are the cupholders? Seat adjustability? I bet the turning radius is huge... -
Saw a silver current gen Merc E-class wagon yesterday. Sweet. Didn't realize MB was selling the current gen wagon in the US.
-
Too far to drive to for a long weekend for me..heading off to the airport to fly to Ohio later...
-
Speaking of Pontiacs, one model that I've only seen once in person is a '67 2+2..great looking big car. Saw a black one in Ohio at a show maybe 20 years ago. I've also seen a sharp gold '64 Parisienne convertible in Denver a few times.

Curious...the only racing context I recall reading of older Cadillacs in was the Carrera Panamerica and Le Mans in the early '50s.
