I actually want a Harley, but the Harley I want is a vintage 1930s knucklehead. An old panhead would be cool, too.

One could make an argument that that one is kinda true.

Yeah, I never had an issue with ATTS not working well or being unreliable. Just that it’s heavy and somewhat complex for what it does.

Actually, I remember the normcore interior being welcomed by many, as a departure from the less traditional previous generation’s interior.

It’s funny, I’ve been thinking about getting a new truck for about the first time in my life. I don’t need a truck. But none of the current midsize sedans appeal to me.

I simply can’t imagine the new one being “more fun,” considering its numb steering, janky strut front-end, lard-ass curb weight, and turbocharged (read: crappy throttle response) engine.

I’d like to see Cadillac return to its roots, and stop trying to be a European-style (read: German performance-oriented) brand. If they’re going to target any of their competitors, I’d suggest Lexus.

95 octane? I wonder how much ethanol they’ll have to use to make that happen.

For the most part, I think wrenching blows goats. I hate it.

Next time he should try stone.

I really have to take issue with this whole “Never had more options than we do today” line.

I don’t disagree.

I probably should have known that.

Feminine designs appeal to me. I’m masculine enough on my own, don’t need a four-wheeled supplement.

I definitely don’t like the idea of a German engine in anything that’s not a German car. I particularly dislike the idea of a German engine in a British car, or the fact that British marques were bought by German companies. The allies didn’t win the war just to give the krauts all their heavy industries.

Heh, I really liked them, but I remember a lot of folks didn’t.

Thanks. That was some good background information. It’s interesting to put the ‘94 Ram in context with what the other truck manufacturers were planning at the time.

I think it’s interesting that two years later, Ford released their new F150, which took almost the opposite approach to the ‘94 Ram. The jellybean F150 seemed like an attempt to de-butch the half-ton pickups and make them more car-like. Of course, they knew they’d have the macho market covered soon with the new Super…

Fair enough. Either one is half-engineered and as durable as wet toilet paper. At least the Brits don’t have a fake reputation for making reliable products, which can’t be said for the Boche. If I’m going to buy overpriced junk, I’d rather not be lied to by the entity selling it.

I don’t want either, but if I had to choose one, I’d take the Vantage with a manual and the V12 (not the Nazi engine).
