    I don't know, but I'm seeing a lot of weirdness w/ the sales articles. The tables in the Ford and Toyota ones show up in micro font, have to zoom in to read them on a 15 inch monitor. And if I click on the GM one, I get logged out and a blank page.

    Funny, the Hyundai Accent was sold in Mexico as a Dodge in the past. The Stinger would definitely fit in with Dodge, even has a Mopar-ish name already. I could see Hyundai being a far more competent owner of Chrysler assets than Fiat has been... could be interesting.

    And so the drama continues...

    I can't wear contacts, so I wear glasses, have since I was 12. And prescription sunglasses. My current glasses are bifocals, which helps w/ reading though I still take them off when using my phone a lot or reading an e-book or a paper book..

    Well, the AWD versions have a driveshaft...and the exhaust runs through there also...

    Badges often correlate to perception of quality and reliability... every brand has it's exceptions, but some have a reputation and image of quality and reliability more than others...

    Neither would I..I have no interest in a turbo 4..that's something for subcompacts and compacts, IMO...seems out of place in a 5000lb SUV.

    They said it was replacing the Sport, which is a small midsize I guess.

    Hard to wrap my head around almost $40k for a mainstream crossover with a 235hp turbo 4.
  11. Robert Hall
    Yeah, kind of feels that way.. it's a few inches shorter length wise than the Q5, X3, and GLC. Bigger than the Q3, X1, and GLA. Slightly longer than the MKC. (MKX is XT5 sized).

    My sister had to get a colonoscopy and and endoscopy last Friday, had to be on a liquid diet Thursday and drink 64 ounces of Miralax...she'd been through this once before when treated for diverticulitis, and had a recent bout of pneumonia. Felt pretty crappy Thurs and Fri but was normal by Saturday. I probably need to do one, a couple years away from 50 myself (turning 48 tomorrow).

    It will be interesting to see how it fares in the market. There is a lot of competition..

    Funny thing is a lot of the people working in those non-union plants started by foreign car makers probably voted for him..

    There is no 'problem'...it's an SUV, not a muscle car...and they have the SRT and Trackhawk versions for people that want faster.

    Having driven GCs since 2000, I'm used to driving and parking a midsize SUV. The times I've driven a full size (Tahoe or Yukon), I found them pretty easy to drive and park. I didn't try parallel parking, but I don't do parallel parking unless it's unavoidable. The '15-16 Tahoes I drove surprised me in how nimble they felt on winding N. Arizona mountain roads. Very comfortable and smooth. A nice comfy place to be when grinding along in gridlock on the 405 or the 10 (been there, done that). Since they sit higher, I have to climb up in rather than slide in and out as I can do w/ the GC. The cargo load floor seemed pretty high also.

    With the JGC, 87 is fine w/ the V6 and 8spd, not sure about the Hemi--it may require premium. As far as fuel economy, with the V6 I seem to average about 18mpg mixed use (mostly suburban/city w/ some freeway). I put around 8000 miles on it the first year I had it..(since 2100 of those miles were over a long weekend, it was really only about 6000 miles)..working from home, I'm not driving a lot.

    Yeah, I haven't seen any vintage JDM iron around Cleveland other than one R32 Skyline I saw blasting along a freeway last fall. I saw with some regularity JDM cars older than 25 years in Arizona and So Cal over the last decade--several 70s-80s Skylines, a couple '80s Toyota Soarers, a Century, an '80s Chaser, etc. The vintage JDM car culture is much stronger in So Cal and Phoenix, mostly see Detroit iron around here.

    Instead of 'Classic' maybe call it Ram Heritage, Ram Old Style, or Ram Classico Grande.
  20. Robert Hall
    Yeah, I've driven a couple current gen Tahoes and the previous gen Yukon. The current generation drives very nicely--I've had rentals for long weekends driving around AZ and So Cal. They are very comfortable, but like a full size pickup, I don't need anything that big and they wouldn't fit in my garage. The Grand Cherokee is the right size for me.
  21. Robert Hall
    Yep, that's Murica...people aren't happy if it isn't 3 tons and w/ a V8...:)
  22. Robert Hall
    It's only the 3rd generation of Century in 50 years, the 1st gen lasted 30 years! Very subtle styling changes over the years. I saw one of the 80s ones in So Cal a few years ago, neat looking cars.
  23. Robert Hall
    What a pile those things were....Fisher-Price interior plastics, dreadful styling.. As far as M-Bs, I'd drive a GLE or GLS, maybe a CLS. But I wouldn't want to have one out of warranty.

    There is something special about wafting along looking out over a big hood at the 3 pointed star. I enjoyed driving my sister's old 500SEL when it wasn't in the shop.
  25. Robert Hall
    Speaking of those 80s M-bodies, there was a trim level of the Dodge Diplomat that had the topside turn signals like the Filth Ave but with a Dodge gunsight grille. Don't recall what it was called and haven't seen on in ages.
