I know the journalist who is originally reporting this... I only put it up because I felt it was reliable.

This means that if the Challenger also gets canned when the LX cars go away, Mustang will be the only pony car to choose from.

71 Coupe Deville maybe.

Rumors coming out of Detroit are saying that the 7th generation Camaro development has been shelved, citing multiple sources from within General Motors, MusclecarsandTrucks.com reports. The current model will likely run until 2023 and then the nameplate will go back into the dustbin for the second time. The current car is based on the Alpha platform, the bases for the now canceled Cadillac ATS and CTS. Their replacements, the Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5 use a second generation of that platform called Alpha 2. The sources say that the Camaro will not move to the new Alpha platform. If the rumor is true, this will be the second time the Camaro has been canceled. The last of the 4th generation, then known as F-Bodies, finished their run in 2002. Chevrolet revived the Camaro for a 5th generation using a cut down version of the Australian Zeta sedan platform. The current 6th generation car came out as a 2016 model and was lighter and slimmer than the 5th generation car. The Camaro only sold 50,963 copies for 2018, a substantial drop from the 84,391 sold in 2012. View full article

Jaguar Land Rover's chief Dr. Ralph Speth insists that in spite of recent spate of terrible earnings, the company is not for sale. JLR's recent issues stem from the collapse of diesel car sales in Europe while the company has a drought of hybrids and cleaner vehicles for sale. JLR is also spending billions on building plants overseas for global market production. Jaguar has recent had to layoff thousands of workers in an effort to slash $3.2 Billion in annual spending. Dr. Speth's comments come after the Jaguar I-Pace won three World Car Awards, including World Car of the Year. View full article

At the Nürburgring this weekend, Mini-Cooper will be showing a lightly disguised prototype of the new John Cooper Works GP, a limited production car coming next year.

The engineers will conduct test runs of the prototype without pushing it to its limits this weekend at the 24 hour race at Nordschleif. View full article

With the onslaught of EVs and PHEVs in the coming years using the VHS plug. Tesla needs to have a plan.... they don't, but they need to.

Don't be the Betamax. Sony made the best VCRs out there when they first were released, but they didn't allow anyone else to use their format. Eventually VHS came about which everyone else used and Betamax eventually fell by the wayside and was pushed out of the market. Telsa with their non-universal plug should take note of this.

It was early 80s day yesterday here in Pittsburgh. 1. My Toronado was out 2. Early 80s boxy Escort Wagon in decent shape for such an unlovable car. 3. 80 or 81 Pontiac Firebird running well, but visually rough 4. Monte Carlo Aeroback on a trailer, victim of an engine fire. 5. Jeep Wagoneer 6. Some old Benz diesel clattering away ( I think it was a 300D, but that era anyway)

No, they haven't been at an event that I've been at yet. They are mechanically identical, so I would expect the performance to be the same. Maybe some slight differences in suspension tuning, but I don't know that for a fact. It may just come down to taste, I like the interior and exterior of the Telluride better than the Palisade. My only experience with the Palisade was on the show floor in LA in November... so my recollection of the interior is a bit foggy.
