Rumorpile: Alfa Romeo Part Of A Deal With Fiat and Audi? :Comments
Why does this smell of Musical Chairs of the ubber Rich working to hide assets and money all while saying they are doing their best to save jobs and raise capital? This also tends to tell me that if the Alfa does return to the US, it will have shortcuts that will hinder it from surviving long and bring back the horror stories of their last time here in the US. This deal just tends to raise red flags for me about the true nature of what is really going on here when you have such a financial mess going on in Europe.

How do you pronounce Impala?
Does it really matter how one pronounces it as long as all love it?

Bug, anyone?
Time for Kermie to die, send it to the scrap yard in the sky and leave it to a note in the history books.

Tidy little Plymouth
interesting little bugger, but too rusty for me.

Rare Caprice
wow first time I have ever seen this caprice station wagon. Never saw them here on the west coast. Some big time rust on that rear passenger quarter panel below and of course the dents in the rear door and front driver side front end. This car just needs to be a footnote in the history pages. Nothing special here to save.

Cars that are going missing
One thing that seems to have disappeared from the roads are the 80's and 90's era Suburbans. I wonder if they got sold and shipped overseas to 3rd world countries that have cheap gas.

Neat Stepside
WOW, this takes me back in time when I would hang out with my friends, cruise down to Lake Washington with everyone in the bed and enjoy the summer weather. Too bad people are not willing to take accountability for their actions so that stupid politicians have to make laws that say it is illegal to ride in the bed now. Talk about buzz killers today. Nice truck, I too see the rust that OcnBlu is talking about and would pass on this one.

APRIL 2013 CAR SPOTTERS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!
Saw a new 2013 Mustang convertible on the bus ride into work today and sure enough they had their top down at 5am in the morning even though the sun was not up yet. Crazy peeps.

New York Auto Show: Subaru WRX Concept: Comments
While there are certain attributes that I do like about this car, it seems they have really lost that butch in your face image they have built up and gone with a more feminine style in the body design.

New York Auto Show: 2014 Scion tC: Comments
Is it me or does this look like a rehash of the Honda Civic style. Bland, boring and just forgettable? Also what is up with that 1990's center dash? Did they just pull this out of the bin of discarded starter images from the 90's? This is a let down if they are trying to just kill it off slowly. Reminds me of how GM, Ford and Chrysler have let their auto lines starve for new products. Nothing here to drive sales.

New York Auto Show: 2014 Dodge Durango: Comments
Overall I really do love this Durango, I agree with Ocnblu that I too am baffled by the chatter of discontinuing this lovely ride. They really did take the interior to the next leve, the dash and flow of the everything is really well executed and makes this a great drivers SUV. One thing that I see now more than ever in the Front End is the Cyclon look. I feel like I should be seeing a red glowing eye in the middle of the grill going back and forth from side to side. Over all I do really like the look front, rear, side and 3/4 profile. This is a great auto. One thing I wonder about, is that 3rd eye in the lower air damn an infra red sensor or is it part of the excessive nanny devices to cause your car to break early and sense the traffic when you are on cruise control. I so hate the excessive nanny devices.

Kia News: Rumorpile: Kia Plans A Two-Seat RWD Competitor To The FR-S/BRZ
I will be honest in saying this is surprising but not totally as Korean brands have been more willing to take risk than Japanese brands but then the customer is driving more and more what type of auto experience they want.

New York Auto Show: 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG: Comments
You mean option, and the ATS-V isn't even out yet. So there really isn't any American luxury brand alternative. My only real problem with it is for a RWD car that has a big and ungainly front overhang, and that navigation is literally a tacked on afterthought. I would have thought that MB would have at least used their own logo design for the circle vents. The whole dash is a mess of after thought. While the ATS-V is not out yet, I still think for 48K you can get better American cars without the name or the cost that goes with repairs and maintenance. $48K I would rather have a Camaro or Mustang over this car.

Fleetwood steal!
Would make a great project car to swap in the 2.9L Duramax to replace the original diesel if it is there or junk the 4100. Either way this would rock as a ride with this baby Duramax.

It's nice, but I doubt the supercharged V6 will really offer any MPG gains and that most will just go with the V8.

New York Auto Show: 2014 Audi A3 & S3 Sedan: Comments
Outside looks great, interior dash is terrible, the screen looks like an afterthought, the two vents look like dear in the headlights or breast you pick, it has a terrible problem with a knob by the shifter. Reminds me of the Terrible BMW knob system, I forgot what they call it. Over all it might be considered minimalist, but it also looks CHEAP for an interior. Not Impressed!
