  1. Saw this little Jeep Renegade on the way into work this morning. I thought it was only going to be available in Europe, but now I'm hearing that it might be coming to the states.
  2. Maybe this is in a different thread, I have has some issues with http://eogld.ecomm.gm.com recently and was wondering if the site was updating or if you had knowledge of another source for this data?
  3. Spotted a Alfa Romeo 4C test mule in all black yesterday around lunch time.
  4. This was taken on the 696 / 275 interchange heading toward Milford. Seems early to not have a manufacturer plate. I agree it seems early, I thought that Encore production wasn't beginning until after the new year. Now that we know that they are coming out after the new year, this must be part of GM's "captured fleet" to work out bugs prior to start of production.

  6. Saw the new Buick Encore on the road without a manufacturer plate.... I'm a bit confused by that.
  7. If it hasn't gone back yet... with that eAssist hardware in the trunk, can you fit a set of golf clubs in it without lowering the back seat?
  8. Chevrolet Orlando with Ontario Plates. I thought this was not coming to North America. I guess it was just not coming to the US (except to visit)
  9. Camino!!! I have been looking for info on this truck for years now. It was at NAIAS and I thought it had a mid-gate like an avalanche. What is it called and where did you find this picture? Thanks!
  10. I have removed many decals from my vehicles over the years using the hair dryer method and it works just fine. Sometimes a bit of adhesive is left on the paint, which can be cleaned up with rubbing alcohol. Today's paints are tested to be UV stable for 5 years min, so weathering has never been a problem for me.
  11. CCS is an excellent school for Design of any sort. Alot of the GM, Ford, and Chrysler designers do come from there. If you can get in, and stay in, you should have an advantage going forward.
  12. I drove from Oil City MI to Grand Rapids MI every day for a year and a half. 2 hours each way in good traffic. Went through one engine on the Grand AM and countless $$$ in gas. You actually get used to the drive, but it is a HUGE drain on personal/family time. I would not do that again unless it was for a boat load of money.
  13. I'm happy the deal didn't happen, but sad to see Hummer go. I hope there is still a way to get keep it alive.(and american owned)
  14. The 2011 Acadia Denali - The First Denali Crossover Ever 2009-12-17 GMC is extending its exclusive Denali line to include the highly successful Acadia brand that defined the crossover segment The all-inclusive Acadia Denali is the ultimate combination of space and efficiency with top-of-the-line amenities Signature Denali cues include the honeycomb grille, chrome accents, body-color fascias and fender flares, mahogany wood steering wheel and wood accents, and lighted sill plates DETROIT – Today GMC unveiled the 2011 Acadia Denali in Detroit. The first Denali was launched in 1999 on the Yukon brand and helped define the luxury SUV segment. With nearly half of all Yukon sales being Denali models, expanding the Denali line to include the Acadia was a logical extension. Acadia Denali will provide GMC customers with all the amenities the Denali is known for in a fuel-efficient crossover. “The GMC Denali models have come to stand for luxury and exclusivity, and that’s just what customers will get in the new Acadia Denali,” said Lisa Hutchinson, GMC product marketing director. “The decision to develop an Acadia Denali was made quickly within the new GM in response to customer and dealer demand for a Denali version ever since the launch and success of the Acadia.” The Acadia launched in 2007 as the first crossover from GMC, with segment-leading fuel economy and innovative features. An exclusive SmartSlide System allows easy access to an adult-sized third row with available seven- or eight- passenger seating configurations. Fold-flat second- and third-row seats allow flexible passenger and cargo configurations of the best-in-class interior space. Acadia’s refined styling, impressive fuel efficiency, and confidence-inspiring safety features made it an immediate success and ideal platform to build upon for a Denali model. The 2011 Acadia Denali goes on sale in the third quarter of 2010. It is available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models, as well as seven- and eight-passenger configurations. The standard 3.6L direct injected V-6 contributes to an EPA highway rating of 24 mpg with FWD models. The Acadia Denali will stand out with its signature Denali design cues highlighted by the mono-color exterior and chrome honeycomb grille, a feature on all GMC Denali models. It also wears a number of specific exterior design cues, including: Unique lower front and rear fascias High-intensity discharge headlamps Body-color lower cladding and rocker moldings Body-color rear fascia and fender flares Unique body-side moldings with chrome accents and Denali badges Dual chrome exhaust tips Further distinction comes with 20-inch, two-tone chrome-clad wheels. The six-spoke wheels feature black chrome spoke inserts set against bright chrome. The Acadia Denali is offered in five exterior colors: Quicksilver Metallic, Summit White, Carbon Black, Red Jewel Tintcoat and White Diamond Tricoat. Luxury amenities Acadia Denali delivers all the luxury and refinement that are hallmarks of the Denali line. It includes a number of exclusive design, comfort and convenience features including: Premium acoustics - laminated glass, triple door seals, and liquid applied sound deadeners Perforated leather seats with matching leather door panel trim Heated and cooled driver and passenger seats Leather-wrapped steering wheel with mahogany wood inserts Complementary wood grain finish on the instrument panel and center stack Enhanced accent lighting in the footwells Chrome, lighted sill plates with the Denali logo Dual SkyScape sunroof system, with sliding front sunroof and fixed rear section Head-up display (HUD) Additional content includes: Tri-zone automatic climate control Navigation system including XM NavTraffic (available) Bluetooth connectivity OnStar Rear-seat DVD entertainment system, with roof-mounted flip-down screen (available) Premium audio system with USB port and Bose 10-speaker sound system XM Satellite Radio Rearview camera system Eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory Remote vehicle start GMC capability Acadia Denali is powered by a 3.6L direct injection V-6 engine with VVT that optimizes performance and fuel economy, while also reducing emissions – including a 25-percent reduction in cold-start emissions. Engine performance is enhanced by the advanced six-speed automatic transmission. The maximum towing capacity is a class-leading 5,200 pounds (2,364 kg). Full article link
  15. This weekend I saw one SRXY Black 2010 SRX, then this morning a carhauler full of them.
  16. Heres the car I would love... http://cdn-www.rsportscars.com/images/cadi...mpared-2009.jpg Just the plain XLR would be nice
  17. I travel to the Warren tech center alot, so I've seen lot's of Camaros and new 2010 Equinox's. But this morning I saw a new 2010 White Buick LaCrosse on 696. Not sure what trim level it was but is only had 2 letters under the name, so probally a CX. That car looks like it is targeting the new Lincon and Lexus models... and should do well against both!
  18. 1) I technically owned a 1994 SL2 Pep vehicle for about an hour. Until the Saturn of Saginaw Manager went into a rant about the GM Discount. I then asked for my check back and bought a 1995 Pontiac Grand AM six months later. 2) I will resist buying any Saturns as long as I can, and will NEVER buy one from the East side of Michigan (which i believe are mostly owned by the same guy)
  19. 1) Two - 1995 grand am, 2002 Grand am 2) No More Pontiacs for me.... Well, that G8 is growing on me though.
  20. 1) One - 2003 Rendezvous 2) Zero
  21. 1) Five - 1989 Cavalier, 1998 Chevy P/U W/T, 1998 Chevy ext cap P/U, 2000 Chevy ext cap P/U, 2004 Cavalier 2) Maybe an Impala or Traverse
