CarTalk December 1

And here we go, the boys from MotoringME.com roll into the studio and it is an hour of car, truck, bus and roadmaster conversation.



As you can hear from that podcast this is a very serious hour, really!

Here is a look at some of the SMS traffic.

How is a maruti 800?

Toyota Mirai

All done up in black and chrome, the new Sierra Denali HD looks like it's wearing a tuxedo, but its burly stance and jacked suspension suggest it plans to work whatever formal event you have in mind. Indeed, when it arrived at our shop, we put it right to work. Its first task was to make a 360-mile run that included ascending the Davis Dam's 12-mile, 6-percent grade while carrying a ton of horse-stall mats in the bed. (Our Duramax crew cab 4x4 truck's 10,000-pound gross vehicle weight left 271 pounds for payload, so our lone driver and his social-media connectivity gear weighed in well within spec.) Our test equipment kept a watchful eye out for signs of laziness during the hill-climb event. We then hitched a 5-ton trailer to its Class IV receiver hitch and gave it another workout. (It's rated to tow 13,000 pounds off the back, 17,100 with a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch.).



Australian car site caradvice.com.au is reporting that the 4×4 version of the six-wheeled G63 6×6 is a go for production. If you think a 4×4 variant of the G63 6×6 would simply be, well, a typical G63 AMG, peep out the spy photos of this particular G-wagen. It’s a whole new bag.
Indeed, while the G63 AMG you or anyone else who’s comfortably wealthy can go out and buy has four-wheel drive, it still rides on street-oriented tires and a relatively conventional suspension and chassis for a giant, decades-old refrigerator–like SUV. A 6×6-derived G63 would replace that street gear with burly off-road stuff more in touch with the G-class’s military roots.
