Have to say, this made me look at the Media Center and WOW, some awesome Camaro stories: Some great old cars with modern crate motors. https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2018/oct/sema/1016-chevelle-crate.html The 2019 Camaro shock is very cool. https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2018/oct/sema/1016-camaro-shock.html The new 2019 COPO Camaro is also cool, but WOW talk about hard to see out the glass on this. https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2018/oct/sema/1029-copo.html Course the eCOPO Camaro is very cool and I see they do have a look at the engine bay. WOW, talk about throwing ICE hard cores for a loop. https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2018/oct/sema/1029-e-copo.html I am sure @ocnblu will come in here and down vote everyone / everything and hate on all things EV.

AWESOME eCOPO and Crate Electric Motors with an 800 Volt battery pack like what Porsche is doing will open up the doors wide to cleaner, less noisy racing. That would be awesome! Hopefully they will post pictures of the engine bay and battery pack.

Have to say that Sema 2018 should be amazing this year. I love this story of this custom SpeedKore Charger that will be shown. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/sema/sema-2018-–-speedkore-evolution-charger-is-a-muscle-car-masterpiece/ar-BBP5O9t?li=BBnb7Kz&fullscreen=true#image=14 Has a 966HP SRT Demo Motor, as one can tell by the picture above, they faithfully built every body panel and the core body out of carbon fiber for a lightweight 3,200lbs total weight as you see it with 966 Rear Wheel HP. I have to agree, this is a Muscle Car Masterpiece. Wonder how much the body cost to build? ?

I liked this view of that engine. Very cool history on this monster engine. Thank you for posting it. https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/packard-1a-2775-x-24-engine

So your saying Toyota will replace Ram as #3 in NA?

Lately, I have noticed a ton of Honda's driving at late dusk with no lights on and you can barely see them. Last night a grey or near black Honda with no lights on around 7pm as the last wisps of light dropped from the sky almost hit me. I flashed the guy as did others and the moron just kept driving with no lights on period. Weird that it is mostly Asian auto's I see with no lights on late at dusk going into the evening. Why they think it is safe is mind boggling.

Kia should give Toyota, Chevrolet, etc. a run for some money once they have the right CUV mix as they clearly kill it on pricing and warranty.

Agreed, an Escalade ESV Platinum fully loaded tops out at $99,845 per my recent build or just a few bills over $100K if you go with one of the two premium paint jobs. This would make it easy to have a V edition of a Platinum ESV that is around $125K. If they ever decided to offer interior customization in leather, wood and other trim pieces you could push it close to $150K.

May the Truck wars escallate. Seems this is well founded as a story on the Alliance of automobile manufactures finds the following: https://autoalliance.org/economy/consumer-choice/ To Quote: "In 2017, Americans continued to favor light trucks (SUVs, vans and pickups). Nationwide, 65% of total new vehicle sales were light trucks, compared to 35% for new cars. In 47 states more than half of new vehicle sales were light trucks. Auto buyers shopping for new vehicles now have more energy-efficient vehicles to choose from than ever. More than 490 models on sale today achieve high mileage (30+ MPG highway), including 43 hybrids, 19 plug-in hybrids, and 30 electric vehicles. And, traditional gasoline engines are getting increasingly fuel efficient as a result of new technologies." Great charts to see how it breaks down by state and they have it broken out auto type too. Seems Washington state is #1 in Hybrid auto sales and #3 in EVs.

Seems Hot Wheel on Nov 6th will re-release their original set of 16 cars that started it all: http://www.thedrive.com/news/24528/hot-wheels-to-re-release-its-original-series-of-16-cars Complete set will be sold for $499.99. Order now.

@balthazar You will love this story: https://www.autoblog.com/2018/10/23/ford-ranger-bronco-michigan-assembly-plant-history/#slide-7452300 The story is about using the Ford Michigan assembly plant and their $850 million dollar investment they spent to start building the Ford Ranger and the soon to be built Bronco. The win for us car nuts is the awesome history of auto's in pictures they have there that were produced at the site starting with this station wagon below. Check out the awesome pictures.

with only 24,979 miles on the odometer, someone in Texas thinks their bubble sealed SRT4 Neon is worth $100,000 https://jalopnik.com/help-this-poor-dodge-neon-srt-4-escape-the-bubble-its-e-1830056068 What do you think?

Freaking Fantastic, I would so love this Pontiac!

Cadillac VIP #XT4, say more details are coming tomorrow Tuesday Oct 30th, I wonder what it could be? ?

True, a V Sport for FWD, I was think true V for AWD only model. The TTV6 in an AWD XT would be awesome!

remembrance

I thought by now everyone had daytime running lights? ?

Only have one request of Cadillac Escalade V Series XT6 V Series XT5 V Series XT4 V Series That would then make their CUV/SUV lineup complete.

Is this Invasion of the Body Snatchers "Re-Boot"? I say let em come for ya if they can, after all without conspiracy theories, they will die of total boredom.

Love to see a modern day pickup take on this from Ford: Or a modern day take on this from Chevy Even this for GMC

Pictures Please if possible.

I hope that NOTHING below XT4 is built, they DO NOT need to play in that market, let Buick and Chevrolet play there. It will not help only hurt Cadillac and GM.

Glad to hear your both safe at home. Hope you both can have a relaxing rest of the weekend. Take care!

Maybe in your small circle of the world, BMW is falling out of favor fast on the west coast with young female professionals. Many have traded their BMW in for a wide variety of other vendors CUVs. The young are more in tune with their life style than a supposed status symbol. It will be very interesting to see the actual buyers of the XT4.

The 19 figure was on a Tegna News outlet, but now I see depending on where you go visit it is either 6 or 8. Better than 19, but wish it was none. Have not seen a picture or heard anything about who the shooter was, but my gut says it is another crazy potus 45 white guy. Hit latest tweets of unity and love makes me sick as he continue to praise politicians who have attacked others. We are in crazy times and I really hope things change for the better soon. Wishing everyone a safe weekend. @Drew Dowdell Please keep us updated on your mates and your safety. Safe trip home eventually.
