And the mid engined C8 will be presumably built in the US, but it's not here yet.

Mopar's New Hellephant 426 HEMI Makes the Demon Seem Quaint
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in S.E.M.A
Way cool..the color and flared fenders remind me of the icy environment Charger from the last F&F movie, but more realistic.- 3 replies

I would assume given the market shift to CUVs, SUVs and trucks away from sedans Toyota will invest more in new trucks and SUVs.

I enjoy looking at old cars for their styling at car shows--whether original survivors or restorations, but I really wouldn't enjoy driving them. I like the driving dynamics of modern vehicles w/ strong brakes, good handing and steering, predicable reliability, and most important to me--- comfortable and adjustable seats, a modern sized steering wheel w/ adjustable column, and modern cabin amenities (not to mention modern safety equipment). I'm not 85, so driving something from 1949 just doesn't resonate w/ me...seems like it would be more tedious and tiresome than enjoyable. I do like the idea of resto mods that combine modern drivability w/ the classic styling.

Perfect for Halloween...

Seems like it would drive more a Tesla Model S. Fast, quiet, smooth...not the creaky horror of driving a 70 yr old car with primitive brakes, suspension, steering, etc.
-
They should have the steps in the front bumper also, for climbing up to check the oil, replace the air filter, etc.

Very cool custom, glad to see a stock body instead of the usual trite chopped top. I'm sure the driving experience is much more enjoyable with a modern drivetrain, modern brakes, modern suspension than with the '40s hardware.

Chevrolet Camaro eCOPO is A 700 HP Electric Drag Car
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in S.E.M.A
Wow..an electric motor mated to an old school racing Turbo 400 and solid rear axle. Surreal to think about. -

Way cool concept. But I suspect the old-school Camaro fans will flip their gray mullet wigs over this. -
That chart will be interesting to see in a year after the new generation of GMs and Rams have been on sale for a while..

The original article isn't clear on whether they are lumping Chevy and GMC together or not.

Unknown..just talking hypotheticals..it's not going to happen, but more a what if.

Not Toyota, but GMC. GMC's annual sales are very close to Ram. (I'm not lumping Chevy and GMC together).

True, but Cadillac would need a new unibody RWD/AWD SUV platform if they were going to take on the GL, Cayenne, etc with a handling-oriented performance SUV..
-
The driving w/ the lights off could be a side effect of DRLs and the always lit gauges in modern cars. (floroluminescent?). It used to be you had to turn on at least the parking lights to have dash lights, but newer IPs have the gauges always lit.
-
There is definitely a small performance luxury SUV niche out there, with the Cayenne Turbo, Bentayga, Urus, GL63 AMG all over $100k and over 500hp. An Escalade V series could be a larger, more spacious but less handling-oriented alternative.

A guy a couple streets over has an old Camaro in his Halloween display this year..had a rustbucket '57 Chevy 2dr sedan last year.

I didn’t really have a ranking, just reverse chronological order.

On some vehicles they can be turned off. They can be turned off on my Jeep, for instance.

I did think of using aliases I've used elsewhere... like 'Hallbert' (at my first corporate job--had a Rob and a Robb already on the team) or 'RCube'... -
Saw an ad for Lincoln MKX...seems a bit late..shouldn't the Nautilus be on sale by now?
-
Interesting...would never have noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out. The F150 did that also w/ a grille and lights similar to that, maybe 10-15 years ago. As far as Sunday randomness, Went to a clambake for dinner. It's more of New England/North East thing, but very popular in the Cleveland area. A dozen clams, drawn butter, chicken, asparagus, mashed potatoes, stuffing. I went to two last fall--one at an Italian restaurant and one at a seafood restaurant on the lake. The one today was at a restaurant from Montana that has a location here, looks like a Western lodge inside. A bit odd of a setting for a clambake, but delicious...
