1980's Toyota Custom Cab Pickup were 3rd party built trucks with a sleep cab, much the way 3rd party Vans were built. Good History of Toyota here: http://www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/toyota-50th-anniversary-a-brief-history-of-toyota-trucks/ But they do not comment on the Custom Cab pickup. Found out that Toyota had these built for them from a company in Oregon and shipped then throughout NA. CFM Custom Fab MFG of Oregon Inc. 5602 N. E. Skyport Way, Portland OR 97218 1-503-284-9195 Very interesting truck.

G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Thank you my man, I was in a hurry and that is what I get for thinking dead people and confusing it with auto power.

Amazing video to watch, comments by the people watching this iced up overpass are funny. Latest chart on the top Gas Guzzlers sold in the US!

G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Interior I am up in the air on and am thinking it could be the pictures, but have to wait to see it in person as to weather or not it is really as Grand as they claim. Exterior, this is one of the nicer CUVs they have built. I like the Brick traditional SUV shape.

Kia has a partnership with GM for small cars, I have not had the time to chase down what all their partnership might involve, but if they have access to the Bolt underbody, it would make for a fast build to enter the EV market. If this assumption is just that ASSumption then I still think they are farther out and just using the specs of the BOLT to build a competitive CUV. Interesting times we live in my friendly little Cube!

Any Idea who built this truck? Cool looking! Cool old truck, looks like they took the front end of a car and added a bucket to it. Liked the look of the 3/4 ton Studebaker Pickup.

Crazy Climate Change. WOW

I honestly see no reason for the continued investment in Hydrogen producing electricity to drive an electric auto. The amount of energy needed to produce the hydrogen and then break it apart to produce electricity with only a water vapor is beyond common sense at this time. I honestly can only see a few of these being made for the LA market that has the only few Hydrogen fuel stations. I wonder how much government money is being spent to off set this research project?

XT5 comes in at: 189.5 inch length, 112.5 inch wheelbase, 75 inch width. Q8 comes in at: 197.64 inch length, 118.11 inch wheelbase, 80.32 inch width. Q7 comes in at: 199.6 inch length, 117.9 inch wheelbase, 77.5 inch width. So yes, you could say this is the next size up category but almost identical to the Q7 in size. Interesting

Fixed it for you as I assume you meant the XT5. I will have to disagree with you. XT5 has the more SUV brick look over the overused Coupe look. Also not sure why as my eyes could be playing tricks on me but I think the XT5 has the longer hood which is a nod to the cadillac of old days with a long front hood. Audio looks more like a car that they pumped up on Steroids compared to a more traditional SUV look on the XT5

I agree with you that the numbers are close in a very cramped market segment. Yet Motor Trend seems to think differently: http://www.motortrend.com/cars/cadillac/ats-v/2017/ QUOTE: This was the best handling sedan of the high-performance group, “The results are clear: with tires no more aggressive than the other cars’, the ATS-V slaughters its competitors with 1.03 g of steady-state cornering grip and a staggering 23.7-second figure-eight performance. That’s not only 0.3 second quicker than the next-best Mercedes, but the list of supercars the Caddy beats is embarrassingly long.” Editors love the ATS-V’s platform and find the powerful brakes, and well-weighted steering extremely capable on the track and through any curvy canyon. This is what used to be said all the time about BMW M series or MB AMG series. Digital Trends seems to think inline with Motor Trend: https://www.digitaltrends.com/car-reviews/2017-cadillac-ats-v-coupe-review/ QUOTE: The ATS-V feels more like an old-school performance car than the C63 and the M4. It’s not as refined or as luxurious, but it’s rawer, and offers a more visceral driving experience with a devil-may-care attitude. It’s more playful than an RS 5 thanks to its rear-wheel drive layout, though that comes at the obvious expense of traction. There are plenty of alternatives to the Caddy but they’re not necessarily better or worse; they each have their own distinct personality. What matters is the ATS-V holds its own against the competition.
