Fiat News: FCA's Upcoming Small Cars To Switch To PSA Group Architecture
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Fiat
Barf....they already have that niche covered w/ the small Jeeps...does the US market need more generics? The V8 RWD product is what makes Dodge stand out in a market full of fecal fwd/awd transverse engine despair gray interior generic appliances...Dodge doesn't need such chud...anyway, from the article, it sounds like the PSA stuff will be for the European market. Maybe the next gen Renegade and Compass will be on a PSA platform? Anyway, I do hope Stellantis finds a future for the Charger and Challenger and keeps them real...I'd hate to see those names and style wasted on appliances.. -

Those look like some older neighborhoods in Cleveland.. -

In Europe, that is. Their products wouldn't fit at Dodge...small FWD hatchbacks wouldn't work in the US. Maybe some of the CUVs at Chrysler. Dodge is all about RWD V8.. -
My previous next-door neighbors had bought a wrecked red FR-S/86 for their teenage son a couple years ago...was missing most of the front end..they rebuilt it in their driveway and at one point had it in the backyard up on ramps, I think they took the engine out w/ a block and tackle attached to a tree branch...Ukrainian shade tree mechanics. It was zooming around the neighborhood the last year going BrrraWWWWWppppp...

I like the one at 2:30 also...Port of LA, Terminal Island, where the Terminal Island Raceway drag strip used to be located... Some sweet '72 Impalas...

I've been happy w/ the Michelin Defenders on my Jeep...I've put close to 20k miles on them over the last 3 years. The original Goodyear Forteras were pretty worn down at 30k miles. (assuming they were the original tires on it when I bought it with 25k miles in April '17).
-
I'd be happy w/ the regular R/T in Octane Red for around $40k. Only options I'd add would be the tan/black nappa/alacantra seats, Uconnect w/ NAV, sunroof, and the Harmon/Kardon audio.
-
I went to a local auto repair/tire store chain in 2017 when I bought a set of Michelin Defenders for my Jeep. Having such a place in walking distance from home is a plus..

Despite COVID-19, PSA Group Still Planning A Return By 2023
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Peugeot
I do wonder what Stellantis/PSAFCA has in mind for their US CUV strategy. Jeep is the established volume and off road CUV/SUV brand and continues to expand, Dodge is in there w/ the Durango, Alfa and Maserati dabble in performance/luxury SUVs, so where do PSA brands come into play? Some more car-like softroader CUVs? With a brand that is largely unknown in the US (Peugeot or Citroen) ? -
Agreed....when I'm considering a new car, I try to spend time studying the interior and esp. the ergonomics and sightlines...really the interior is more important to me than exterior styling, since the interior is where you are...for years. Part of why I so strongly dislike gray or all black interiors, I want some color and light inside. Things like seat adjustability and feel of the steering wheel, location of the primary controls, etc..all of that is important to me..

Finished the latest seasons of ‘Yellowstone’ and ‘Endeavour’ (the Inspector Morse prequel. Currently streaming the 1st season of ‘Balthazar’, which is not set in New Jersey. It’s a French crime drama set in Paris, and the titular coroner drives a sweet blue vintage Alpine A110...

I like the larger V90...I think I'd be very happy with one of these and living in New England. Love the blue.

I didn’t realize there was a car in that pic until you mentioned it. Had to zoom in, looks like a ‘66-67 Continental. ‘68 moved the parking lights out of the bumper to the fender corners.

$479.38. Instead of rechroming, how about plasti dipping all the interior brightwork in matte black?

Hot August (2020) days or nights of car spotting
Robert Hall replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
I thought that also...but the taillights threw me, only looked at pics of '39-41 Olds..but going back a year further, I see those taillights on the '38 Olds. '37 had them also.

Something from around 1938-1941, going by the bulbous shape and headlight placement. Can't read the badge on the rear. Interesting high mounted taillights. -
Nice..I could see myself with a V90..love the interior and exterior design..
-
I like what Genesis has been doing with interiors...like the colors in these...

vw id4 $100 Deposit for VW ID.4 EV and Leaked images out of China
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Volkswagen
Nice. Very normal looking. The side contours and profile remind me of the current Escape. -
I haven't seen any cutaway pics of the Rivian, but I wonder how much height does the skateboard/battery pack take up of the floor? I wonder how the floor to roof distance compares to a BOF design like the Tahoe or a unibody like the Durango... Edit--found a cutaway pic of the R1S..looks like it has a flat floor.
-
Overall length only affects the rear cargo area. Wheelbase is more important for interior space and how the interior is situated within the wheelbase.
-
Length is meaningless since it includes overhangs, it's the interior space within the wheelbase that really matters..the Rivian has a 5 inch longer wheelbase than the Tahoe. But is smaller inside, it sounds like.
