SvT Raptor, GM Crossovers, Sorento, Toyota & C.A.F.E

In this space, I mostly write about my 66 Toyota Land Cruiser and all the work I’ve done to it. But since I haven’t

done any work to it lately, there’s not much to write about.

I obviously have too many irons in the �re. I plan on working on my Cruiser after the planting of our vineyard is done. I should be able to devote some time to the restoration process this Spring and Summer.

Moving on, there are a few things in the automotive world that have gotten my attention recently.

1. The Ford SVT Raptor - Great design, nice interior, wide stance and a complete di�erent look than the F-150. My only question is why couldn’t they build this in a Crew Cab model? Could Ford have sold double, maybe triple the Raptor’s if it had been in a Crew? Also, I’ve read that they may be coming out with a 6.2L V8 for the SVT Raptor.

2. 2010 Cadillac SRX/GMC Ter-rain/Chevy Equinox - I know that you really can’t group these cars into one category and they’re right. One’s a luxury, one’s a mid-level and one’s an entry level. But all three of these vehicles are really good for

GM. They’ve brought younger customers into showrooms and have made great headway into the Crossover category, domi-nated by the Lexus RX350 and Nissan Murano.

3. 2011 Kia Sorento - This is one hot midsize SUV! It’s been sell-ing like crazy and the customer response has been great. Ev-eryone I’ve talked to loves this ride. Be on the lookout for the redesigned 2011 Kia Sportage which comes out soon.

4. Toyota - Not very good at letting the general public know what’s going on, but is rebounding from the recall. Last month’s sales show that Toyota has a devoted customer base and should show strong numbers this year.

5. New C.A.F.E or Corporate Av-erage Fuel Economy standards which require auto makers to have an average 35 miles per gallon combined, among all vehicles, were introduced recently. Great for the environ-ment and consumer, not great for the automakers (who’ll have to spend extra to get a vehicle up to standards) and could lead to an unfortunate death to some models due to their fuel ine�ciency.
