I've had 4 2drs over the years (one a hatchback), a 4dr sedan, a 2dr SUV, a 4dr SUV, and a 5dr hatchback. I think for a daily driver in a sedan or SUV I lean toward a 4dr for the practicality and ease of ingress/egress (long doors are a pain in tight parking). Never had a wagon per se, but that's pretty much what the SUV bodystyles are like. I plan to always have at least one 2dr around.

Nah, probably a svelte 4200lbs for the V6 and 4500lbs for the V8..

The body color trim is like an Escalade EXT. Saw a lowered 1st gen bright orange Avalanche last night...was really slammed, front bumper almost scraping the screet.

Saw a red Fiat 750 from a distance..saw a a very clean beige '67-69 Ford F-series pickup, and a clean yellow '73-74 Chevy shortbed fleetside.

+1. Sharp truck. I thought it was the caddycruiser that traded a G8 for a 'lanche.

I feel dumb. This is the first I think I've heard of this 2.8 V6 Turbo engine. Didn't realize GM had such an engine. Is this the 2.8 that is a smaller version of the 3.0/3.6? What else uses it?

A modern RWD Chrysler Cordoba in coupe/convertible form to replace the Sebring 2dr, based off the LX platform. Same idea as the Cougar and Thunderbird I mentioned earlier, or for GM, a modern Monte Carlo off Zeta. I know the personal lux 2dr coupe market is long dead, but not everything has to be a FWD 4dr...

Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar. As modern largish RWD 4 seat coupes...a modern take of the idea of the '89 versions.

Yes, same old, same old. Chance of rain this weekend. Cooler than it was last week (almost 80 then). October through March is when I like Arizona. The rest of the year, not so much. R

My Jeep hit 111111 the other evening on the way home. Interesting number.

Buy: Ford, Suzuki, Hyundai/Kia, Subaru, Spyker/Saab, Fisker, Fiat Hold: GM, Nissan, VW/Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Tesla Sell: Chrysler, Honda/Acura, Jaguar/LR, Mitsubishi, Toyota

Of the Lambdas, I think my favorite is Acadia and closely behind is the Enclave, purely based on interior and exterior styling and features. The Traverse seems like too much of a family hauler/quasi-minivan to me (though all of them fit that description, the Traverse seems more so). Have sat in all of them incl. the Outlook, haven't driven one.

NG Hyundai Elantra, maybe? Since the Impreza was redesigned in the last couple years, too soon for the NG...

Yea, something like that, but still in production would be nice...

That's cool..have only seen a couple Jeep FCs before. Most recently, saw a yellow one w/ a stake bed at a car show about 3 years ago. Neat design.

Wherever you go, there you are.

And all the hip hop felon banger-wannabees will have to settle for Escalades...

Good riddance. Sadly, the only one that really mattered was shuttered... (Pontiac).

There is one of these sitting in my driveway right now. Not a bad looking car, inside and out.
