  1. Just got this email from Cadillac about save the Date for the March 27th unveiling of the all new XT4.
  2. Love the Brown warm interior and over all the whole auto is just spot on for an update. My only dislike is what a number of fellow members have stated. The rear tail lights are just WRONG! My only other beef is that for the touch screen, yea a 1080P screen is an update, but in today's day of tech, why did they not go with a true high end screen like what Apple or Samsung have put into their tablets or smartphones. They should have gone beyond what everyone else has rather than just equalling them. Lead, do not follow the tech.
  3. Totally agree as most Boomers have stated they do not have the strength to sit down into a low riding car and would rather just slide their butts across the leather seats into a CUV.. Sitting low into a car is so overrated.
  4. I can tell you as one who has a fair amount of auto's with the 100,000 mile transmission fluid change that these are not your 90's version Transmissions and from an Engineering standpoint do just fine. In fact worse thing you could do is take a modern transmission to a place that does not have the proper flush tools and just replaces the filter and puts a new gasket on and then refills the transmission. They actually are designed to go 100,000 miles with not being touched. All of my SUVs that do see off road have done just fine.
  5. Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery Drew.
  6. Good luck on that dream combo, VW seems to have moved away from TDi and manual. Sticks are pretty much dead as are diesels in anything other than a Pickup Truck or the few American CUVs.
  7. Considering I lived in Japan for 3 1/2 years while going to college and I stayed with a Host family that had a son going to Kobe University like me and was spoiled with very nice toy's, I also got spoiled being able to drive his cars and bikes and loved it. Once you drive a Skyline and see how dialed in they are, you cannot help but love them. Skyline is the pony car of Japan.
  8. I would rather they return the to R33 or R34 roots and introduce a REAL SKYLINE to the US!
  9. Of course she is lookin' at you! We all look at you!
  10. This is an awesome engine bay with plenty of room to turn a wrench. Wish they were still that way. At least my 1993 GMC Suburban has plenty of room and is easy to get around to work on in comparison to my Escalade.
  11. Meh, I would pass on the smarter at this point and work on the Reliable please have no Recalls!
  12. Like I posted in another thread about Mercury taking the 7 liter 505 HP V8 Crate motor and upping it to 750 HP, if you can spend the coin on this car, then spend the additional coin on this engine and give it a real thumping heart! After all what is an extra 32K plus installation costs.
  13. Cadillac has had this program for the last couple years in NY and other select markets and it does well in very dense cities with disposable income. I honestly do not see these programs working out for everywhere.
  14. WOW, So much MB style traits. One would wonder if Kia has any original thinking on what their style should be?
  15. What is wrong with the low profile rims? Very different than you see on other auto's and of course I bet a pain in the ass to wash. I like a simple easy to clean rim, but this is nicely different.
  16. LOL, Actually that is the all new Generation 2.0 Nissan Leaf EV. @ocnblu Hates all things EV or Hybrid. Wants the world to stay static for ever in his one moment in time! This was his response to me keeping the current Z going forward till Nissan gets out their new Global Modular Platform that will carry ICE/EV/Hybrid. I stated keep the Z alive as is with updates till they can roll out a 300 mile range EV-Z.
  17. New Honda Accord Hybrid is so Fugly!
  18. I would hope we would have not ICE in 20250, There should be the age of Star Wars or at least Star Trek!
  19. Sharp Ride you posted! Excellent Point and very possible as some stretched to have the S so they could have a long distant EV, now they lower price of a Tesla 3 makes sense but then we have also seen due to the reduction happening at Tesla in the federal credit that there have been those that have canceled their order and gone BOLT. I also still believe that there are pent up demand for an EV but not Tesla but other OEM builders. Gonna be an interesting 24 months as they start to roll out.
  20. I agree that the 12 & 10 cylinder engines will probably be gone by 2025 to 2030 and the V8 & V6 will end up going by 2050 with the only possible engines left will be small 4 bangers as generators in Hybrids.
  21. This makes sense as Europe and Asian have the hated, disgusting displacement tax. As we move towards a EV / Hybrid World, the days of W12, V12, V10, and even the V8 will dwindle sadly enough. It was interesting to see and hear so many auto's screaming to go up the pass this weekend to ski. My escalade held at 70 mph at 2500 rpm and you had mini vans to various Subarus and other auto's that you could hear with the window down that they clearly were around 5,000 to 7,000 RPM to keep up at the same speed or at least it sounded like that and even they most could not keep up with me. Hard to replace displacement / Torque of large engines when going up grade.
  22. Nice looking CUV, they have reduced the Coupe like top of the auto. I hope they keep this as the Coupe roofline is so overdone. I have to say I really like this look in the drawing. Now execute it 100%.
