![]() Once the XC90 and V90 Cross Country were certified for U.S. In a comment that underlines another reason other than stigma why many automakers avoid station wagons, Robertson admits they will only sell a few hundred V90 wagons. Volvo does this dance with its XC60, V60 Cross Country and V60 station wagon. Remove the added ground clearance and the cladding along the lower sill and wheel arches and you have the V90 station wagon. It has basically the off-road capabilities of the SUV type of vehicles, providing the agility of an SUV with the road holding a sedan.” Volvo calls it a Crossover Wagon. Designed on the same platform is the V90 Cross Country, “It’s not as extreme as an SUV, but based on a wagon with more ground clearance and all-wheel drive standard. product manager, Anders Robertson, explains how they managed to have what they freely call a station wagon. Most all of us who owned one have warm memories of them, whether a 122, the 145 or my intercooled Turbo Wagon that could chase down pony cars. Volvo has long been what you might call the “keeper of the keys” when it comes to station wagons. The automaker labels them SUVs when it in reality, they are attractive, sweet-size station wagons with lower cladding and a bit more ground clearance. If we all have to nod our heads and agree not to use the term ‘station wagon’ so be it.” Mercedes-Benz GLA45AMGĪrguably the most glaring example of redefining the wagon might be Mercedes-Benz’ GLA250 and AMG GLA45. “The good news is, no matter what you call them, these vehicles all offer greater utility and flexibility than a similarly sized sedan. Karl Brauer, analyst at Kelly Blue Book adds, “No car maker wants to admit to making a station wagon because of the stigma still attached to that word, so most of them use phrases like ‘crossover’ or ‘sportwagon’ to avoid visions of Chevy Chase driving across America in the Griswold family’s Truckster. CUVs, on the other hand, were 33.9 percent of vehicle sales in the first three months of 2017. These days, station wagons make up just 1.1 percent of vehicles sold. It’s easy to understand why automaker’s marketeers dig deep into their cauldron of adjectives to describe a vehicle as a CUV or SUV rather than a station wagon. In other words, an automaker can make up its definition of a CUV as it goes along. Wikipedia’s definition says it, “…is a vehicle built on a car platform and combining, in highly variable degrees, features of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with features from a passenger vehicle, especially those of a station wagon or hatchback.” 1941 Chrysler Town & Country Thanks to Chrysler, minivans became the people hauler of choice after 1984 and by the mid-1990s there were civilized SUVs to tempt families. 1976 Buickĭefinitely not the vehicle for the future, given the fuel economy standards put into effect after the 1973-1974 Arab Oil Crisis, ready to hit automakers right between the headlights in 1978. Worse yet, the car’s handling has been described as that of a bathtub half-full of water. The 1976 Buick in the below photo weighed just over 5100 pounds and needed a thirsty 455-cubic-inch V-8 to get the job done. Then steel took over, though homage was long played to the segment’s heritage with “woodie” station wagon options.Ĭome 1976, station wagons were 10 percent of the vehicle market, more than 970,000 sold. In the beginning, the vehicles often had hand-built wooden bodies. They were called station wagons because they were originally devised to take people to and from stations. Station wagons are still around…in style and utility if not in name. You missed a sweet spot in the automotive timeline. You possibly grew up in minivans or SUVs. If you are less than about 55 years of age, that paragraph likely means nothing. Like the dog, they were lovable members of the family. That slow-as-a-slug 6-cylinder automatic Chevy Kingswood. The red and white Ford Parklane with the Thunderbird V-8.

Ring also offered up some good news for existing Ring doorbell owners, at least if you’re rocking the Pro 2 or the 2020-and-newer version of the standard bell. The first company to sign up for the program is Rapid Response, with others expected to join in the near future. ![]() Ring adds that third parties can’t view motion events when the camera is disarmed, and can’t download, share or save the clips of what’s going on in your front yard. It is only when motion is detected that an operator can access your feed, and can speak to whoever is there to determine their intentions. You’ll need to pay for that separately, but you can hand over access to select Ring camera feeds to those companies who can keep a watch over your property. Instead, Harris said that both companies saw the opportunity to work together to help leverage their individual skills in tandem.Īt the same time, Ring is launching a system dubbed “Virtual Security Guard,” which connects users to third-party security guards.

Seeing Ernest Borgnine just a year before his Marty Oscar win is very gratifying. Here she's given the name 'papayas' for obvious reasons, and a peasant blouse to wear that helps explain the gag further. She's not much in her short-lived American career but is terrific in her Mexican and Spanish movies as a singer and comedienne, well worth haunting Spanish-language movie channels to find. Sarita Montiel is 'introduced' to American audiences, an advent that didn't take, as Sam Fuller introduced her again two years later in his Run of the Arrow. ![]() Maybe she was, if her medium shot was filmed after the fact. But the last shot shows Ben Trane walking totally alone as if Sarita were reacting in a different dimension. The ending is particularly strange in that both the rising music and parallel cutting between Coop and Sarita Montiel indicate that they're heading for a fade-out clinch. His third-act redemption is sketchy to the point of being an afterthought, or perhaps a concession to the star's demands. Ben Trane is written as Jo Erin's treacherous equal. Gary Cooper is slightly less effective, perhaps because the actor insists on playing the solid good guy, totally at odds with the character in the script. At one point Lancaster even says that he "Always wanted to be a sailor." But he's still a sick, charming rattlesnake. There's a hint of parody in the way he grins at the camera like The Crimson Pirate. Lancaster is fall-down funny and a little disturbing at the same time. One wonders how Aldrich got away with this kind of savagery, as well as the half-heard dialogue bit where Lancaster clearly says, "Well, I'll be a son of a bitch!" One slaying, showing only Lancaster's self-satisfied face as he rams a lance through the neck of unlucky 'little tin soldier' Henry Brandon, is so gruesome by implication, it almost hurts to watch. His baiting of the luckless Charlie (Jack Lambert), only to gun him down with a sneaky, showoff circus trick shot ("Anyone else string with Charlie?") is slimier and funnier than any of Clint Eastwood's casual killings. Ben Trane and Jo Erin upstage one another with more stylish double-crosses than the battling birds of Tex Avery's What's Buzzin' Buzzard?, and Lancaster's psychotic joy for killing equals the amorality of the mayhem in the later Sergio Leone westerns. ![]() The revolutionaries have positioned a sexy spy in the caravan, Nina (Sarita Montiel), whose exact mission is unclear.īesides being a remarkably '80s- style 'buddy' picture, Vera Cruz is astonishingly precocious in its cynicism. Things get dicey when a triple-cross of unfaithful allies develops between the adventurers, their French employers and the Juarista rebels. Impressing the French with a demonstration of Yankee firepower (literally in the Halls of Montezuma), they hire on to escort the Countess Marie Duvarre (Denise Darcel) to the Caribbean port of Vera Cruz under the leadership of the grinning Marquis de Labordere (Cesar Romero). Also looking for trouble is the charismatic but incredibly untrustworthy Joe Erin (Burt Lancaster), who leads a group of n'er-do-wells hoping to enlist as killers for the corrupt Emperor. At the conclusion of the Civil War, dispossessed and defeated Southerner Ben Trane (Gary Cooper) drifts south along with dozens of freebooting Americans looking for a way to earn, connive or steal big money in the civil war between the French legionnaires of Maximillian (George Macready) and the revolutionary Juaristas. The "western" setting is actually international, as the story covers the ruthless and mercenary exploits of a band of American criminals looking for riches in Mexico. The first movie filmed in the interesting format Superscope Vera Cruz introduces the first modern images of American gunslingers facing down hundreds of armed Mexicans, exporting their sharpshooting mayhem for sale to the highest bidder. Vera Cruz boasts great performances from big stars, a gallery of up 'n coming tough guy talent and frenzied direction from a big talent making his first big-budget production. Robert Aldrich may have inspired the entire Italian western movement of the 1960s with this rip-roaring, cynical and slightly sadistic adventure with a subversive political dimension.

If you look as all of the Star Wars movies, blue and green are commonly used by Jedi (except in the case of General Grievous) and red is used by Sith or dark side users. Luke actually switched to a green lightsaber in Return of the Jedi so that the blade color better contrasted the blue sky during the Jabba’s sail barge action sequence.Īll Star Wars Movie Lightsaber Colors (Original, Prequel, Sequel Trilogy and Anthology movies) Fans often attributed Luke’s switch to green lightsaber to his mastery of the Force (or as least his vast increase in skill) between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Phi is completely obsessed with destroying powerful Bladers thanks to a strong, evil connection between him and his Bey, Phoenix. However, he slowly revealed his true self: a dangerous, immature, ruthless, sadistic, power-hungry person who wants to become the strongest. Phi presented himself as a calm, composed, nice and gentle individual upon introduction. When he uses his dark power, his eyes' sclerae turn black, his voice becomes distorted, and his aura changes from its fiery red-orange color to a dark purple. The suit also sports a silver full-connected pauldron with three hexagons, a sleeveless black coat connected underneath it with a white border and interior, a three-pronged tail with red tips and flames at the base, and a two-segmented silver belt that doesn't connect with a dark-red hexagon on each tip. His attire consists of a space-cadet blue sweatshirt with white borders on the sleeves and a red symbol, a crimson coat with a three-pronged tail and a shade of yellow borders and stripes, a white belt with indigo studs and buckle with an orange-red border, indigo diamond-shaped earrings, and burgundy pants fused with a pair of shoes.Īfter obtaining Dread Phoenix, Phi changed his attire to a black gloved bodysuit similar to his younger brother's, but with dark-red lines on the torso, arm sleeves, and legs.
