The 4runner would definitely handle your needs. I guess if you don’t want/need the 4wd for off-road use you’d be sacrificing the ‘easy loading’ aspect of the minivan. But if you are wanting a 4runner I’d definitely suggest dealing with the trade-offs to have a much more capable vehicle. Not only that, you could…

Need and Odyssey?? The 4runner seats 7 in a pinch and cargo racks hold the luggage.

I would assume that it would be based on a modified C7 chassis. The center monocoque would probably be reused and then a shortened front clip and lengthened rear would be designed. No need to completely redesign the cabin.

The center section (tub I guess?) is definitely from a C7, as with some of the rear end...the front, who knows.

It is likely that they have the core frame and drive-train of the car mostly sorted at this point. This would allow GM to determine the needs within the Corvette plant and begin the retooling process before the vehicle/concept is unveiled. This is how a concept car can be shown a year or two prior to a car being…

I’m 100% fine with those prices...

I own a 2002 Passat 1.8t with 190,000mi. I know what an unreliable car is. 

Meh, the styling of the LS doesn’t bother me at all. Is the interior of the Caddy close to the same fit and finish??

Is there any real reason I should consider this over a CPO Lexus LS460L AWD?

But that would require more research than going to wikipedia...

10/10 would still buy this over the rest of the competition. Though I’d be tempted by a diesel ford ranger.

I realize that these ‘features’ will probably be on my next car, but if I am totally honest I would rather not have them. I have yet to experience a TPMS that I actually liked...at some point in that car’s life a sensor will loose its mind and you’ll have to pay a shop 200-500 for the repair. Just not worth the cost.…

I once volunteered to drive a dodge caliber from Florida to Ohio to deliver it to a friend...it was the single worst road trip of my life. When I picked it up the caliber had 54,000mi on the odo and the owner promptly showed me receipts of a dealership service that was completed within the last week. ‘Everything’ had…

Not sure how I was being historically inaccurate by mentioning that the main group the Nazi’s persecuted were the Jews at over 6 million people. You are absolutely correct that Roma, the disabled, the gay, various religious groups and asocials were persecuted and killed by the Nazi’s as well, from the thousands to…

To be honest I am surprised to have gotten a solid response. Your original statement, “ah yes, the intellectual argument of “it’s too complex” so kick the can and let’s just “not my problem” that under the rug” really didn’t mesh with anything I previously had said. The original point, from what I had written earlier,…

What is the solution?

Nations, government and legislative bodies dictate the ‘rights’ people are afforded. And to ensure those ‘rights’ they dictate the terms with which people have to follow in order to preserve them, think laws and regulations. Thus you want to have a nation/government that reflects the the peoples desires for their own…

Indeed you are correct. It is very easy to gloss over that fact today. And surprisingly controversial to point out . But you are correct.

Fortunately/unfortunately countries can be selective about who they want immigrating. If you offer a distinct skill set or are seeking education it makes the process a slight bit easier.

The US is a country that tries to have a separation of church and state. This means that US policies and ‘Christian doctrine’ should not be intertwined, granted this isn’t always the case. So the policies you see in place are practical policies that are there to help protect the economy, balance the workforce and help…
