    Yup it was sharp. Pictures never did the color justice IMHO. This was a nice Full Size sedan. Would have loved it if they had offered this interior on the Impala SS Maroon.

    Nice looking for what it is, nothing really stands out as Awesome, OMG I gotta have it. I hate one part, the FAKE EXHAUST on the rear bumper. You can clearly see the plastic black center and it just detracts, might as well make it all color matched which would be better looking IMHO. Yawn, pass for me.

    Another Interesting read on Auto things that need to die and stop polluting our driving enjoyment. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/car-performance-fads-that-need-to-go-away/ss-AAy1GAd?li=BBnb7Kz Four Door Coupes - Coupes are 2 doors, not 4. German brands biggest offense of it. Touch Screen Infotainment systems. Knobs are OK Fake Exhaust Tips, Audi SQ5 biggest offense of this. Endless Driving Modes, Electronically controlled automatic shifters Fake Carbon Fiber Trim Auto Rev-matching Electronic Dipsticks Unnecessarily Big Wheels and Low-profile tires Fake Engine Sounds - Example is the fake sound of a Honda Civic Type R Electric Parking Brakes Have to say I agree with a good amount of this list and a few I could care less about. Guess you can add the Audi Q8 to the list of Fake Exhaust in the bumper crap now.

    Interesting Read on Forbes top 12 auto's to avoid for 2018. https://www3.forbes.com/business/steer-clear-new-cars-to-avoid-for-2018/?utm_campaign=Steer-Clear-New-Cars-To-Avoid-For-2018-auto&utm_source=Outbrain&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=00711c0c785914931f6fac419f7c06b527&utm_term=msn.com+[36] Acura ILX - The Top Worst Auto on the list based on Poor Reliability, below average overall rating by Consumer Reports and JD Power Surveys.

    Weight Bloat, thanks to all the Gov Required Nanny devices and safety improvements such as the side door I beam requirements and the roll over crush minimization requirements. etc. etc. etc.

    Make sure to rent an auto for the mountains, they are a blast to drive and the scenery around Kobe is awesome. I do recommend the winter gees festival on Hokkaido. Also make sure to enjoy the Hot Springs in Beppu. Ferrari lovers will love this, Folks that like virgin old auto's will hate it and the rest of us will shake our head at people that have more money than brains. Yet if you like the auto you build, enjoy it just like he says.! https://jalopnik.com/why-this-guy-spent-1-3-million-to-restore-a-dino-with-1826406030

    Add to that a very combative Stockholder meeting and Musk has some issues to face big time. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/06/04/elon-musk-tesla-stockholder-challenges/ The lawsuits over compensation of their sales force and the monthly moving targets so it is hard to make money says Tesla has some major problems. Tesla Shortchanging their sales staff makes ya question Musks management capability. https://jalopnik.com/why-teslas-sales-staff-say-theyre-behind-shortchanged-i-1826206999

    Very cool pics of Wrenching on Auto's in Hong Kong. Amazing what they do and would be illegal in the US to do what they do there. https://jalopnik.com/the-most-dedicated-mechanics-in-the-world-wrench-on-the-1791804151

    My Samsung note 8 Rocks, Wife and I have not had the problems my son and daughter have had with their new Apple Phones and the lack of features on the Apple that I have on the Samsung surprised me.I really expected more from Apple.
  11. G. David Felt
    Since Job's Death, just further proof that Apple is surviving on the past and not creating new. Samsung has replaced Apple as the better Phone.

    True a European focused platform. Still they should have rolled back in the profits into Dodge & Chrysler and built up those portfolios before wasting the billions on resurrecting Alfa which contributes NOTHING to FCA.
  13. G. David Felt
    Exactly, Italians always build small lite platforms more focused on Fashion trend style than on performance. No way a Hellcat or Demon engine could work with the Georgio platform. For Dodge to work, they would have to make a new Hemi 4 banger and Hemi V6 with turbo's and even then be limited to how much power to produce. Again, further proof of incompetence by Sergio as he stole the profits from Chrysler to bring back from the grave stupid Alfa crap and prop up the garbage Fiat.

    This sucks that the GLobal Executive for Chevrolet smashes the pace car before the race even gets started.

    Continental pickup?

    I used to be able to buy malt for adding to pancakes and waffles and now it is so hard to find. Shame as I love all things Malted!

    I really have to question just how realistic the FCA 5yr Road map is as looking at the last one, they only accomplished maybe 1/3 of that plan. This plan is even more vague, so I have to figure half of the 1/3 accomplished from the last plan which means maybe 20% or less will really happen. ?

    Saw my first Z71 Redline edition Chevy Pickup crew cab today. Even more impressive in the wild than in pictures.

    Having spent 3 1/2 years of my life going to college in Japan and enjoying the auto scene there you are right on. Everything is much smaller and a small 4x4 Jeep Panda size would be a big hit if it has the right Jeep Rough Off Road look. Nutso for the North America Market for Sure, but for Japan, Korea and even China, it would be a big hit.

    EPA has sent proposal to White House to End California Emission Waiver and Canada has taken the gloves off and added trade taxes to just about everything coming into Canada from the US. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-31/white-house-reviewing-proposals-to-ease-auto-efficiency-rules The war has begun, quality of life is going down due to idiots in the white house.

    He likes to polish his Noob, After all he is on record that he wants people to like it so much they will want to lick it!

    That is one SEXY Car! Scenery is not bad also!

    Lets be honest, he just uses you as a bed warmer!

    Other than just key specific auto's that have allowed some brands to post a positive month and barely squeak out a positive YTD, most of the auto industry is going negative. They say manufacturing is where you see the start of a recession. I see that in the numbers from each auto maker.

    Leaves more questions than answers and especially leaves it wide open for the new CEO to throw it out and do their own thing.
