Black and gray...so boring and mainstream. They need colors to spice things up...otherwise, it's too generic. The Escalade is pretty limited in it's color choices also, unfortunately..a light and a darker tan for the seats and armrests it looks like.

Well, the Cayenne isn't a rear engined CUV on the 911 platform, so it's not part of the 911 family. Porsche, though, is supposedly working on a safari style lifted AWD 911, maybe that will be the 911X.

If all things are roughly equal--ICE appliances replaced by BEV appliances at the same price point, size and content level, I think they will sell. I don't think the average consumer resource unit knows or cares what propulsion system powers their appliance, they only are looking at price point, efficiency, and features.

I like 80s two tones..

I've thought they needed a Porsche Cayenne or Macan competitor for years...an ICE Corvette branded CUV would have been great 10 years ago...problem is, GM never developed a platform for a performance CUV.

Problem is, unless they make a performance version of the Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon or Escalade, it isn't happening...the rest of the GM ICE CUV lineup is generic FWD/AWD transverse engine appliances, not the ideal platform for a performance vehicle. GM doesn't have a proper RWD/AWD unibody SUV/CUV platform. I could see maybe performance versions of their EV CUVs in the future, though...

I last saw the Stones in Vegas in 2005, they were great then...was almost a 3hr show IIRC. I had tickets to see them here in Cleveland last year, the show was postponed and then cancelled... Almost a 60 year run, pretty incredible. They made a lot of memorable music...

I used to make Nutella Peanut Butter sandwiches on sourdough bread..delicious....

Sounds like some versions of their subcompact and compact cars and CUVs use a CVT..(Accent, Elantra, Rio, Seltos, Soul, etc)...but the midsize and larger cars and CUVs have 7- and 8-spd autos and DCTs..

I like berries in pancakes or on waffles...I like most anything w/ strawberries, raspberries, etc. I love berries on crepes...or nutella on crepes. re: Mediterranean on the brain...I've been streaming a few Italian TV shows recently, two crime dramas filmed in Sicily and now one filmed in Ferrara in the north of Italy. I need to go back to Italy, been 16 years since my last trip there.. want to see the northwest (Cinque Terra, Genoa, Italian Riviera, etc) and more of the mountains and lakes regions....I loved touring Lake Como and Lake Maggiore and the little towns around them on my last trip.. and I'd like to go back to Venice and stay more than 6 hours.

Could be. The Elco had buttons up high also on the dash. Couldn’t really see much of the exterior of the vehicle. Saw a badge on the rear quarter but couldn’t read it on my phone. Edit: watched again, could briefly see the horizontal speedo and the close rear window of an Elco. Need to watch on a tv.

Neat new track 'Bitter Taste' by '80s idol Billy Idol... the guitar part reminds me a bit of Chris Issak's 'Wicked Game'...would fit well in a David Lynch film...appears to be a '65 Buick full size early in the video.

Ive never driven a double cab or crew cab, only regular cabs a few times over the years. One place I think the long ones would be a handful would be in parking garages. And impossible to parallel park because of the length. I did drive my folks’ 33 foot Winnebago a few times 30 years ago, now that was an interesting experience. Even with a 454, it was pretty slow….

Yeah, the Impala was on the small side compared to the Buicks, Olds, and Caddies. The full size pickup really is the modern 1970 full size sedan—BOF, V8, room for 6, huge trunk…

Full size cars 50 years ago were a lot smaller than the typical double or crew cab pickup today. Silverados have 147-157 inch wheelbases. About the only passenger car then the size of today’s trucks was maybe the Fleetwood 75 and other limos, not mainstream.

^ probably should direct those questions to the mapmaker...we don't have the answers. This is probably a humor product of some sort. Though some of them have some historical connection--like the 'Great Connecticut' stretching across Northern Ohio---as that area was at one time the Connecticut Western Reserve (incl. the area where I live today). Likewise for the Southern Tier counties of New York. Western New York has more in common with PA and NE Ohio than it does with NYC.

And with the Buick’s, there were two different coupe front ends. The Regal had a chrome vertical grille, and the Century and Special 2drs had a sloped back front (and was used in NASCAR).

^ I knew about the sloped nose used on the ‘76-77 fastback coupes, but didn’t realize the 4dr was available with it. Fascinating. I wonder if there was a wagon with that nose also?

‘55 Chevy in the parking lot at Marblehead Lighthouse on Lake Erie. Also saw a sharp purple '57 Bel Air 2dr ht on the road, a gorgeous red '64 Bonneville convertible top down rolling along, a white w/ blue stripes '04-05 Ford GT, and a very clean red w/ red interior '87-89 Mustang GT convertible.

Saw this derelict ‘70s Fiat Spider on a transporter today..

I miss going to coffeehouses. There was a really good one in downtown Ann Arbor and one in Colorado Springs that I spent a lot of time in my 20s-early 30s inhabiting. The Ann Arbor one I would hang out at with other PhD students to study and talk, and the one in Colorado Springs I hung out at with several friends I worked with at 3 different companies, we spent a lot of time coding and planning there back in the dot.com era...

More complex stuff to break expensively. Hopefully they will have a long warranty. Then again, any EV is not something to keep out of warranty, IMO.

Looks like it’s built for a driver and passenger under 5 ft tall. Exaggeratedly low roofline.

Mediocrity.

As much as I dislike the c-pillar trim, the CT5-V seems like a tasty package, esp. w/ the manual. The last hurrah of V8 RWD manual sports sedans... Poor old Jeep...at least in AZ my old one didn't have to deal with rust. I've seen a few WJs around here with some serious rust around the wheel arches, still on the road after 2 decades...
