Porsche News: Porsche Puts Tesla in the Crosshairs
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Porsche
As it says in the article, 'overboost mode'.. Interesting, but these trims start considerably higher than the Model S tops out I think...so this is playing at a higher price point..- 39 replies

Lamborghini Unveils 808 Horsepower Hybrid
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Lamborghini
Merge speed on some freeways... -
A diesel seems to be more for someone that wants to go cray cray and try for 250k miles with a vehicle..... but the electronics will probably go bad long before 250k.

Lamborghini Unveils 808 Horsepower Hybrid
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Lamborghini
Not familiar with it, but it makes sense as a real world freeway on-ramp acceleration or passing measurement ....more useful than 0-60. -

I like the exterior color and the interior color....styling is just another sharply angled violent cartoon car... -
Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-AMG Unveils the AMG GLB 35
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
I know, I just think FWD/transverse 4cyl is fine for cheap econoboxes or mainstream appliances, but has no place in at a premium or luxury brand.....- 57 replies

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-AMG Unveils the AMG GLB 35
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
Isn't the X1 FWD based now? The idea of $50k for a 4cyl FWD/transverse based CUV or car is absolute madness....but it also says $50k isn't what it once was... a FWD transverse 4 cyl connotes cheap econobox, not anything premium...- 57 replies

Have you ever wondered what happened to your old car after trading or selling it? I was curious, popped my old Jeep VIN into google and found that it sold at a scrap auction in Tucson w/ 173k miles about 6 months after I traded it on my '14 at the end of March 2017. https://appletowing.hibid.com/lot/35082301/2000-jeep-grand-cherokee/?q=&ref=catalog It looks pretty tired there...I got almost 17 years out of it, a lot of memorable drives..kind of sad.

Industry News: NHTSA Testing Mirrorless Cars
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
The seating is like how McLaren did with the F1. -
Nice T-Bird...my brother had a white '59 w/ red interior back around 1975-6..I remember riding in it as a kid. He was working at a Ford dealer, I remember visiting him at the dealer w/ my Mom and it was parked next to a new dark blue '76 T-Bird... This one appears to be a '60 w/ a '59 grille. (that rear quarter trim was a '60 detail).

I used to fly Frontier a lot when I lived in Denver, but that’s been over a decade. They seemed comparable to Southwest. I’ve heard a lot of bad about Spirit. Here in Cleveland I’ll probably use Delta or American. Used Southwest a lot when I lived in Phoenix, still would use them.

I like the Avalon interior more than the ES interior, at least in these photos- 7 replies

Maybe the next 'Slade will look like a scaled up XT6. And the Tahoe will look like a scaled up Blazer (or they will uglify it with a Silverado-like nose).

Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Reviews
The giant grille on the Avalon might look better if chromed and bejeweled with a bunch of shiny thingys like were in a '59 Buick grille.- 7 replies

I definitely wouldn't buy one in the first 2-3 years of production. I'd rather get another WK2.

Industry News: NHTSA Testing Mirrorless Cars
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
Appears to be only one seat in this pic of a prototype from 2018..they've been road testing them for a while. -
Hopefully not, I'm assuming all the engineering is being done in Detroit... probably not much carried over from the Stelvio, considering it will considerably larger..

I don't parallel park or back into spaces, but I find the camera quite useful in backing out of my driveway (I've spotted random joggers in the dark on the sidewalk w/ the camera, etc), backing out of parking spaces (esp. when I have bigger vehicles on each side of me).... with the small rear and side windows and thick pillars I have plenty of blind spots.

Yes, which is fine; it is a RWD/longitudinal engine platform, not vile FWD/transverse. Will be interesting to see how the 2021 turns out. But I'm probably looking at getting a '19 or '20 Summit or Overland CPO for my next one...stick w/ WK2 for a while.
-
I would never consider the Acadia or other GM CUVs because of the lowly FWD/transverse engine platform. If they made a 2 row SUV on a proper platform I'd consider one.
