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.

Alfa / Maserati are bleeding cash, Jeep / Ram is what is keeping FCA afloat.

Sweet I would love to get my hands on the Australian 300 SRT that they still sell.

I have always liked the current 300 over the Charger. For me, I would be willing to go for a low mileage 300 SRT as I would love the 6.4 L over the current 5.7 L V8. AutoTrader Listing Amazing how many low mileage 300 SRTs are available.

Loved the Impala SS, One car I really wanted to own, but just was never financially able too when they were being built and sold. Loved it in the Maroon color they had.

Seems that Lego has felt we need a new Supercar in our stable at a cost of $400 for the 3,599 piece kit per their newest news release. https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news-room/2018/june/lego-technic-bugatti-chiron/ The 1:8 scale LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron is over 5" tall, 22" long and 9" wide or 14cm high, 56cm long and 25cm wide for our metric friends. Crazy but this model has a fully moving engine, transmission, wheels, and so much more. As to be expected you have an 8-speed gearbox with paddle shifters on the steering wheel with the iconic Bugatti logo. http://legoexternal.23video.com/video/27694211/2018-lego-technic-bugatti-chiron-revealmp4 https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/technic/products/bugatti-chiron-42083 Motor1 has the story too now and all the pictures posted to look at versus downloading them from the Lego Website. https://www.motor1.com/news/243617/bugatti-chiron-lego-technic-kit/

@balthazar Yoda of all things old, what do you think of the style? @ocnblu Ignoring the EV powertrain which is pretty cool as an AWD Trike. Would you drive one of these Nobe's in Green?

Sergio has been very clear about not selling off Jeep / Ram without the others. Jeep / Ram is what is keeping FCA afloat. Chinese wanting an established dealership network would be the only reason if cheap enough to buy Dodge / Chrysler / Fiat. If Chinese did get approval to buy DCF, they would probably be pretty quick to swap out models with Chinese made versions rebadged as those brands. I honestly see more value in Dodge / Chrysler than I do in Fiat.

I agree, at this point, I could see Sergio selling off Dodge, Chrysler and Fiat for pennies on the dollar to unload those brands and all associated to a chinese auto company wanting to get feet in the door for selling in America. The only problem is Potus 45's trade war makes this unlikely to happen. Partial close down for various lame reasons coming from FCA. FCA soon to be JRAM corporation

Seems Waymo likes what they built with the 600 Pacifica Hybrid Self driving minivans. According to this story, Waymo and FCA are going to build 62,000 more of them for use across North America. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/05/31/fca-waymo-62000-self-driving-pacificas-public-sales/

Nobe 100 - AWD 3 Wheeled, 136 Mile Range Vintage Cuteness My NOBE Web site Nobe's founder and CEO, Roman Muljar believes what people want is a simple low maintenance easy to use means of transportation. In this he is bringing to the global market the Nobe 100. This is an all-wheel-drive trike. Yes a trike that has a top speed of 68 miles per hour, travels 136 miles per charge can be had in a hardtop or convertible and is to quote the CEO's primary goal: "to create something so effortlessly stylish that you want to lick it." Mr. Muljar says here you will find a little bit of Alfa, Mercedes 300SL, Fiat 500, Saab 96 and Tesla as his inspiration. This is a theme of minimalist inside and out. The Nobe 100 has room for 2 in the front and 1 in the back. This 3 person EV auto goes 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds, recharges the battery pack in 2 hours. Sales are to begin in the US in 2020 priced at approximately $34,000. For more info see the link below. Autoblog Story Jalopnik Story

Add Alfa to the list that can die and should have never been brought back.

Nothing has been stated other than this design should help batteries hit the magic $100 per kWh of the battery pack.
