Give US buyers the option...Ford Everest. It’s a real deal 4x4? Is it on a truck platform like the old school SUVs? The new Ranger based...? Eric, is that a Chinese Buick in the background? Any photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of Buicks in Beijing - probably the most common GM line. I didn’t get a photo of any though...sorry Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I met my main contact in person in the USA a couple of years ago, he was very proud to tell me that he had a Buick Century. The next trip over, I let him drive my Buick LaCrosse and he was very excited. I am scheduled to go to there by year's end, as long as the plans don't change.

I’ve never been to Shanghai but imagine there are some serious sports cars ripping around those streets. Yeah, I think there remains some prestige in driving Buicks, but seems it’s fading a bit as so many more autos are available in their market, including lower-end Buicks and mini vans. One last photo, for the truck guys: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 So I got the opportunity to play with this today. The dealer I buy most of my Ram/Jeep product from received their first Demon. And because I know the owner quite well, he let me drive. This thing should be banned. No street legal car should be this fast. And I totally want one. And I even like the colour. F8 Green looks stunning in person. Definitely not a good track car. It's liek an old muscle car; amazing in a straight line, but not designed for corners. ultimately, I think the new widebody Hellcat is the more useable car. At about $40k CDN less. And you can get a mnaula transmission. Still, I love that the Demon exists, and I thank my lucky stars that I got to drive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Love that green on the Demon...would like to have a model of the Demon. As far as the 1:1, I'd probably go for an SRT 392. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobramike Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Same thing happened with me last Friday, guy was in a Nash Metro, yellow and white in great condition, I asked at a light if he would be ok with me taking a pic and he said he would rather I wouldn't. Too bad, nice car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, the front bumper on the turbo 4 1LE cars look better, the bumper cover flows across the front where that black bar is and better separates the top and bottom grills, kinda like the SRT and Scat Pack Chargers vs the SXT and R/T bumpers.

I think they're kind of ugly. But the interior is something to experience, and it drives beautifully. The V8 is basically a Ferrari engine, so it has some pedigree and performance to go with it.

heyjohnxx Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I saw an early 60s Ford F100, a 50s Willys wagon, and a 69ish LeMans Sport while going to the doctor's today. I tried to get pictures of the Willys, but was just too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Saw this parked at the local Partsource. I wish I'd gone and talked to him about it. Gives me an idea for a build! Edited April 20, 2018 by NOBLNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Roberto Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I saw a modern Chevy truck with paint and chrome looking like a 57 BelAir. I had to blink a couple of times before I realized what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Saw a Model A hot rod this morning. Red, 70s style. 5 window, no chop, big and littles w chrome wheels. No hood. Rolling down the street, looked like an alien craft amidst the CUVs and Kias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
