    Washington state has one of the countries highest gas tax's. http://www.gaspricewatch.com/web_gas_taxes.php I bet that if they dropped the gas tax by half and went with .05 cent a mile road tax, they would generate more income to support the state DOT in building new bridges, roads, repairing existing roads and bridges etc. This I base on the fact that at 55 cent tax per gallon and if the average car gets 20 miles per gallon, they collect only 55 cents where at .05 cents per mile, they collect $1.00 The key is these tax's MUST only go to the DOT and not into the general state fund where they get spent on social programs or what ever else the idiot politicians can think up on spending. So at 15,000 miles a year for an auto that gets 15 miles per gallon, one would pay $750 a year for miles tax versus $550 a year in gas tax.

    Yes this was covered in the front home page story on FCA 5 year plan where it was covered that Dodge would merge with SRT and be the Focused Performance Brand. http://www.cheersandgears.com/_/chrysler-news/deep-dive-fiat-chrysler-automobiles-five-year-plan-r2211 Enjoy

    Should we place dates on how long Fiat will hold onto Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep before they have to either sell it off or make radical changes? MB had them for how many years? 9 years if I remember right before selling them off for a Buck!

    Even if BMW Bombs on this, the BMW lovers will still probably say it is an awesome driving machine.

    AWESOME This is the way to send off the Top Gun generation as you get ready to roll out the new version. Wish they would add a V series to the Escalade!

    Based on the horror stories of VW diesel owners with water issues, rough running, starting etc. I would say they need to focus on building a dependable version before trying it in the US.

    And the start of BMW going down the OLD GM Path Begins!

    NOT! What a JOKE! 4hrs of charging time for a lousy 18 miles of pure electric driving. It is a Joke!

    Wow, that is actually interesting.

    New Nissan Leaf that had a new tag in the window, just bought. Was laughing as the person was complaining to another person that there were no electric only premium spots for him to park in at the park and ride. Amazing how entitled the tree huggers are that buy pure Electric auto's.

    Someone Built an outstanding Wiki page on the G SUV. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_G-Class Seems like the final production run on this is slated to be only 200 units world wide. Time for this Dinosaur to Die in its current form!

    I would take a 4 door Jeep Rubicon over the G wagon and it would spank the G wagon hard and still keep on going. The G Wagon needs to be replaced with a modern 21st century version that can actually do what the Rubicon can.

    Washington state for the last 3yrs has been studying this idea to replace the gas tax with an actual mileage tax and all Auto's no matter how they are propelled would be taxed based on a sliding scale of weight and miles driven. So far they have not come up with a solid idea yet, but I agree with many of the comments here that they need to truly put all the gas tax to the infrastructure and stop using it for other pet projects or socialist programs but rebuild the foundation of this country. I believe that the mileage tax would be the fairest of tax's so that you truly pay as you go. Public transportation would need to increase fairs also have riders pay a break even fare for riding the bus. This is a privilege not a right to own an auto and ride public transportation.

    Hopefully someone at Lexus will wake up to the ugliness of their Predator grill and bring some style to the name line and for the new 3 row model.

    This is the stupidest move ever just like their idiot potential investment of almost 8 billion in the alfa name plate of an almost dead line. They need to invest in their existing larger products to get world competitive products than waste money right now. I do not blame them for leaving Italy, the unions are destroying that country.

    SMK, You need to go and look at the 2015 Tahoe and then the Cadillac. I was lucky to be able to walk next door to the Chevy dealership in Bellevue and look and they are nothing alike. Yes like MB or BMW you can nit pick about using small certain items on all levels of auto's but when you get into a Cadillac, it is nothing like a Yukon and especially night and day between the Subruban/Tahoe and the Escalade/ESV.
