    I suspect my brother (who has owned at least dozen Mustangs over 50 years) wouldn't like it.

    It's futuristic in that it looks like it's a prop from a sci fi movie...more futuristic than the hideous Silverado HD, for example, which looks like most any other truck of the last 20+ years but with an uglified front end. One aspect of the Cybertruck that is very different is the low, pointy front end and sloped back windshield instead of the usual overwrought grille and bloat of a mainstream truck. I do wonder if we will see sleeker trucks emerge, EV and otherwise, instead of the overwrought, blunt fronts that pervade trucks now.

    How about the Neuron EV T-One? Yet another EV truck concept. Very different from the Cybertruck. Interesting cab forward front, kind of like older vans. https://www.autoblog.com/photos/neuron-ev-t-one-electric-pickup/

    Kind of retro futuristic. But definitely futuristic compared to production trucks.

    The Cybertruck is a very futuristic design, a radical departure from the usual 3 box design of pickups. It will be interesting to see how different the production model will look.

    Not unlike how station wagons were in olden days, most of them stuck to the same general silhouette...the design limited by the need for the rear seat and cargo area....the bold coupe SUVs get around the 2 box design with a fastback hatch shape. And the design doesn't work well with mid- or rear-engined layouts because of the need for cargo space. Similar issues with pickup trucks--design limited usually by a vertical rear window and bed.

    The electric truck market is going to have a lot of choices in a few years..going to be interesting.. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a29890843/full-electric-pickup-trucks/?source=nl&utm_source=nl_cdb&utm_medium=email&date=112619&utm_campaign=nl18693366&src=nl

    I saw it last weekend and really enjoyed it. The Adam Carolla documentaries 'The 24 Hr War' and 'Shelby American' cover some of the same events and are both excellent and streaming on Prime now. I want to see 'The Good Thief' and 'The Irishman' this weekend...good thing The Irishman is streaming on Netflix, too long to see in a theater.

    Really nice here today. Sunny and mid 40s right now. Maybe I will go out and blow leaves around later.

    Taking off Thursday and Friday. Doing Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant downtown w my sister. Probably going to visit a couple wineries on the North Coast Fri-Sat if the weather is nice. Maybe visit some local museums.

    The stock Cullinan is on a 129 inch wheelbase. It’s got an aluminum platform shared w the Phantom.

    This stretch Cullinan is cool..

    Check out Cleveland Brown Odell Beckham's Roller.... in Browns orange. And the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament was replaced w a figure of himself. I think I saw it in traffic one night a while back, something blocky and orange zooming past in the far left on I-90 coming out of downtown.
  14. Robert Hall
    Yes, as is Aston Martin and Ferrari.. Genesis may end up being the last to the party for SUVs. I expect McLaren will announce one soon...

    As the old saying goes, 'may you live in interesting times'...
  16. Robert Hall
    Well, it does look distinctive and stands out, doesn’t look like any other truck on the road. That’s a good thing, instead of same old, same old it’s futuristic looking. Whether that leads to sales, time will tell...

    Well, BMW does have a 1.5 3 cyl as seen in the i8..

    That's a very streamlined clipper. One article I read said perhaps the reason that Tesla went with this design is it is cheaper and easier to manufacture, requires far less complex stamping to do simple folded stainless steel panels than a conventional vehicle body. Maybe with this Tesla can achieve their zero-human plant idea..

    Came out the movie theatre after seeing 'Ford v Ferrari' (loved it) and there was a red '05-06 Ford GT way out at the edge of the parking lot. And my phone was dead.

    I seem to recall some vehicle had a decklid with openings around the taillights so when it was open the taillights were in a fixed position. Like how the headlights are on a modern Mini. But I don't recall what model it was.
  21. Robert Hall
    Some Audi SUVs are like that also.
  22. Robert Hall
    Cascada trunk taillights. Because the weird decklid design includes the taillights, they added redundant lights to use when driving w/ the decklid open. I remember noticing them at a auto show a couple years ago...r

    Cladding + ‘X’ in the name says CUV in all markets.

    Zero to 60 mph as low as 2.9 seconds, up to14,000-pound towing, a stainless steel body, and a base price of $40,000. We will see if they can deliver on these claims.
  25. Robert Hall
    Interesting they did go with a 2.5 4cyl instead of a 1.x 3 cyl or 1.5 4cyl like others in this segment. The cladding doesn't look bad on a dark color...on a white one it wouldn't look good. I like the front 3/4 view here.
