Interesting, very subjective. Glad for Lincoln

Why not just use the V6TT and call is the SS, no need for the Impala label. We just have a global Chevy SS auto. 400HP

Really, that is an interesting thought. I looked into them at one time in the early days of my marriage due to the wife liking the looks and due to how small and tight they are and tiny feeling, we passed. I ended up going SUV full size with GM and never looked back after 1993.

I would expect in these days of SUV/CUV craz that the LaCrosse is on the near future chopping block.

I expect to meet the needs of China to have have one CUV EV and one sedan EV plus a volt type.

Nice, but it looks like all they did was change out the front badge from Opel to Buick.

1994 Chevy Impala SS. Loved this car, was not in a place to buy one and I wish the suspension was a bit tighter. But the auto was awesome in a straight line, had plenty of interior room for us big guys and over all a family is very comfy in these babies!

@FAPTurbo This is for you! Cracks me up what people think up! LOL, Here is a perfect GIF for that special someone!

Interesting that they would say this is entry level and yet people are also saying the one problem is power. I see lack luster sales with the anemic power.

Sweet, All about the Quarter Baby!!! Cruis'in is fun too.

Ya know with the Demon out, one has to wonder if FCA is not going to do the same to Jeep to just extend making money. They now have shown they can put a V8 in a Wrangler with the Quicksand Concept. Wonder if it could show up next year as a real option?

Here is my Home system. Dell XPS 8900 with 32GB Ram, 4TB storage and 512GB SSD Boot drive. Dual NEC 27" Screens, one in landscape mode and one in Portrait mode. Work Desktop system. Lenovo W540 with i7 Quad Core, 32GB ram, 512GB SSD Boot drive, 2TB data drive, running in quad screen mode.

Gotta love the Quicksand concept though

DOH, Homer Simpson Blink Blink space look. Give me Beer!!!!!!

Remember my friend, we are all crazy in one way or another. Just depends on what degree of craziness we are! So says the wife and every other person I have met that works in the crazy world field of study.

Yesterday April 13th 2017, Lucid sent out an email about how their near production test car hit a top speed of 217 mph at the Ohio's Transportation Center banked oval test track. Many of us that follow the industry know that Tesla limits their auto's to 155 mph. Lucid is on record that they intend to meet the needs of the high-speed cruising market of Europe and Middle east. Simulations can only go so far on a computer and then you have to put rubber to the road. This allows the engineers to monitor and tweak everything from the power train, suspension, body fluidity and so much more. This will allow them to review the data, make adjustments and come back later to push the limit even higher. We know that Lucid is planning on a $60,000 dollar 400hp, 240 mile range RWD EV with the top model being a six figure AWD 1,000 HP and 400 miles of range on a super dense battery pack. This begs the Question, other than the few places you can push this kind of Speed, Does it matter any more if an auto can go over 100 plus mph? This question comes from seeing so many auto's that are now breaking that 6 second 0-60 speed showing they have the torque and hp to maintain the speed needed for daily driving. Lucid News

G. David Felt - Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.cheersandgears.com Jeep Easter Edition Moab Utah The 51st Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah is taking place this week and Jeep has a slew of working concepts that will be on the trail all week long for people to drool over according to the story at USA Today! To quote the story: "Go fast and look good ... and if you're not smiling, get out," said Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, as walked around the hot rod Jeep Quicksand, which was "built for sand dunes." The roar from the Quicksand's Mopar 392 Crate Hemi engine with eight-stack injection drew smiles and stares. But one of the cooler features on the Quicksand was ornamental — a clear acrylic gear shifter knob with a Jeep Matchbox suspended inside. The other Jeeps were decked out, too. Love their Cocktail which was built based on 3 different generations of the wrangler. Luminator, which pretty much will light up the night for night wheeling. New Jeep Safari Concept Jeep Switchback Jeep Trailpass Concept Loving the Jeep Quicksand Concept with that 392 Hemi and optimized for dune jumping. Loving the V8 Power!!! More pictures and info in the story on the other auto's which has a total of 7 concepts to gauge Jeep Enthusiasts feedback.

So you're saying they will be Hybrids then based on what I am reading. That makes sense, but then we have seen plenty of 12v Hybrids that are over 50 mpg.

Yea Sergio would consider that a success just like his 56 Alfa's in 2016 that he wasted billions on are considered a success.

Very informative, nice write up. I myself could drive it as a commuter car but would not really be happy. Interior is way to sparse for me, just blah bland. Plus being a car, you sit so freaking low. With that said I am sure many will love the car. I honestly could see this lifted about 10 inches, some butch wheel covers and bigger tires and a more powerful engine and you have a nice small CUV off road.

I understand, having a wife who is a professional psychologist, I have learned to leave calling a person mental to the pro's.

Leave mental to the professionals. Let's just agree that he left civil / Professional debate and discussion moved into an area that should not be done.

I agree with you on the lite colors and how dirty the interior will look like in 5 years considering that most people are slobs in their auto. I do wonder how comfortable those seats are. My 2006 Escalade Seats are still looking like new and firm but comfy for long road trips. 2017 Nav 2006 Escalade ESV Platinum I have to disagree with you on the Aluminum. This auto was heavy and they only dropped 200lbs with all the Aluminum work they supposedly did to the F150. 2017 Navigator Curb Weight of 6297 lbs. Makes 2018 Navigator 6097 lbs. Over 500 lbs heavier than the Escalade. https://www.edmunds.com/lincoln/navigator/2017/suv/#edm-entry-build Escalade 5521 lbs curb weight. https://www.vehiclehistory.com/vehicle-curb-weight-specifications/cadillac/escalade/2017 https://www.edmunds.com/cadillac/escalade/2017/#edm-entry-build http://www.cadillac.com/crossovers-suvs/escalade-suv/standard-optional-equipment.html?ppc=MICROSOFT_700000001296812_71700000019876877_58700002108534486_p17376421571&gclid=CPjI8aGRpNMCFUHt6QodEoYFaQ Navigator is a pig.

I really have to question the sound decision on this. They might as well just keep improving their ICE line as is and build their EV line on a far superior electrical system. Having slept on this, from an engineering standpoint I get it that they would have a single electrical harness for the auto. Yet this also means they are going to spend a fortune on R&D to do this, they will also now have issues with mechanics who mix up the existing 12v line with their newer 48v line and I can see all kinds of mistakes being made by the mechanics.
