Range Rover took the simple path..SUV lowers + raises body automatically so do certain models of the grand Cherokee two wheel drive wonder how tall they'd have to make a 4wd version?

GM sold a fuckload back in the day. they have the small trucks priced so high you may as well buy a full size. an suv in that model would be 80k. many folks still miss the trailblazer/envoy. they were a big success, and they offered no replacement when they stopped building it. not to mention they ruined the blazer name. have you seen a new blazer? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMC was going to build a new Jimmy with a V8, based on the Colorado/Canyon, and they killed it. Not sure why. It would have sold like crazy. On trucks being too tall, I have a 2024 2500HD LTZ Chevy. It's stupid how tall it is. All these trucks following the Ford lead are annoying. It's like they're all driving around saying "I'm gonna be a big rig when I grow up! Vroom vroom!" I'd love a truck like mine in the footprint of the truck I traded for it. 2016 Denali 1500 4x4. That was a perfect size. I'm 6'5" and didn't need the running boards. I absolutely need them on the 2500 or I'll prematurely wear out my driver's seat side bolster getting in and out. Who needs a 6'10" short bed?

A new body Blazer ZR2 would also be a slick rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started before the last Taurus I think even my 05 mustang my arm is at an awkward angle when I have it out the window not as bad as other cars I’ve been it but still not comfortable. Noticed the same thing on the Camaro. I realize I’m the only guy here who is not seven feet tall, but it is uncomfortable and weird. I hate the new Cadillac too. Can’t get them out the door with out the seat shaking violently and the car locking up the brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like I was driving a fucking Chevette. Interior was right out of a Barbie car. Visibility was like driving a tank through a gun slit. Under 5k miles and the seat was splitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did I think it was a s class Benz if I remember right that had the seat side bolsters like push in and crush your side when you turned it was weird didn’t like it. Manufacturers sure come up with some strange seat functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
