The turn to the dark side is complete.

Now Ford and GM trucks look the same.

straight flat boxes that are too big for most garages and parking spaces, with fender flares tacked on, and needlessly over-styled light fixtures with weird body overlaps.

Seriously... can they get much more generic than this?

What will a superduty be like?

Roughly as geographic as an Atlas.

No one gets my puns. :(

Bigger, different frame, solid front axle and more oriented toward towing. Available with a diesel v8 that makes about as much torque as a Bugatti Veyron.

I was a part of designing, building and testing this. I've also driven several and it is a very nice truck. It's nice enough to get me to want one, and I never thought I'd think I'd want a pick-up. The new 2.7L engine is a riot to drive, especially knowing it's that small.

I see a chrome grille and I want it painted black

I read it to that song the first time, before I saw the picture. Well played.

I normally sing it about mk5 R32 Golf's (Golves?) when I see them.

I saw a R32 the other day. It was blue.

I think it's Golfen.

they look the best in blue I reckon, They're not quite common around here but not quite rare either. They're on my list of cars to get if I ever get sick of the MR2 and need a back seat.

Golfen makes sense from a German language perspective.

It was the first one remember seeing in the wild. It came on the tail of many interesting cars I've seen lately, including an Exige, a Pantera and a NSX.

I don't know... I think this looks rather different from the Silverado. Round vs square wheel arches, very different fascia, the Ford is a much better looking truck IMHO.

You mean truck yeah.

ooh nice. I haven't seen an NSX in years.

The most interesting car I've seen in a little while was a JDM Mitsibishi Cordia Turbo.

these effeminate designers are doing a great job of making me keep my old truck.

Remember when trucks were designed such that you didn't need a rear view camera? These things keep getting taller and taller for no reason. That crew cab/short bed would make a sweet bro truck though.

Still chugging away with a 95 F-150. Probably will continue with it until it dies.
