Some nuggets from the Detroit Auto Show...

IS the Telluride an 8 seater or something?

Dillinger

Probably 6 with an option for 7. Looks similar to the VW Atlas.

For pricing I think they're targeting a budget luxury price. Probably $40k - $50k starting.

Tokolosh

$50K for a Kia. Ugh.

SierraCoug

Or $60,000...

Tokolosh

There’s no way anyone would pay 60k for a kia

Judging by the photos of some of the concepts, I wouldn't be surprised if it started in price at $33-35k

Grand Cherokees cost 35K? I thought they were 45-55 nowadays.

Dillinger

My BIL's 2018 Trailhawk I reviewed was under $40 and that's a loaded trim package

Hmmm, when I was selling cars in like 2011 Grand Cherokees were like 40 - 55.

Dillinger

You can get the msrp up there, but you never pay full price for a chrystler.

Any photos out there of the new Z4?

I haven't stumbled on anything for 2020 yet.

Meh. Looks even a little more bloated than the last one.

1/14/19 9:02pm

Yup, it'd be almost hard to classify it as a roadster now. I'm surprised BMW hasn't made it a 4 door "coupe" like the

Seems silly since they have the 6-series already.

kccougar

1/14/19 9:11pm

Unlike most cars, they never did improve on the original

2-series 4-door coupe will be coming next year

I'm a little underwhelmed by the Supra. Looks like an FR-S/BRZ evolution to me.

Toyota designers have been a little drunk as of late, starting with the current Camry.

kccougar

1/14/19 1:50pm

It’s funny to reflect on the old Supra in light of the new Camrys

IMHO the only Japanese automaker with a lick of design sense is Mazda.

Good point. The WRX does tend to be pretty good looking.

Tokolosh

1/14/19 2:08pm

I'm hoping they release a hatchback version of the WRX again.

I thought the Camry was a step in the right direction

Anything on the Lincoln Aviator? Looks like a decent challenger to the XT6

Skeptical Optimist

1/14/19 1:51pm

Aviator came out at the LA Auto show and it does look nice. Could be an underappreciated challenger to the X7

Grand Wagoneer coming back - will be interesting to see if people like it...

Please tell me they did the right thing and are going to build this one...

I just saw the CEO say that they'll need more plant space in the US because of the Grand Wagoneer. Haven't seen any

Telluride looks like a Volvo XC90...nice look

Is that what they're calling the west concourse these days?

Funny article in WSJ today about how many are VERY happy the show is moving from Jan to June next year.
