  1. The squishy folks of today that have no muscles at all probably think it locks up when it slips out of run due to the increased resistance. Just think how bad it would be if it was truly manual steering of the 70's or older auto's! Men and Woman of those days had to have some arm muscles to drive a car.
  2. If they can build this, then GM needs to find a way to build the Nomad which is what I thought of at first when I saw this.
  3. Yea think it will still look fresh as Tesla updates their auto and others jump into the market? I think while it will look good, it will be dated compared to what the competition I would think is working on.
  4. The Kit Kat Android guy I read were given out at google to employees. Not sure if it is true or not, but I could eat it and break it!
  5. Good Riddence! Should make fun shooting practice for the good O'l Boys!
  6. Very Stylish 2 door Station wagon. Is that a battery bank in the back under the plexi glass? A little tired of the big center console between front seats. I think there is room to have a bench seat so your loved one can sit next to you.
  7. I like what I read, I think GM is serious about not doing what the Old GM did before. I think they will take care of this issue and make it right.
  8. GM will have to eat crow, do normal damage control and pay out money. Then hopefully they will not listen to a bunch of bean counters and lawyers who only have their own wealth in mind and actually listen to the engineers who design and create these auto's so that the next problem like this comes up and they actually fix the issue never allowing it to get to the field.
  9. Small and non descreat, guess we really are headed to small engines and small auto's. Over all has the jag look but is nothing special at this point since you cannot see any curves or lines that would say YES, this is a sexy animal.
  10. Nice has potential and will appeal to larger people. I agree with Dwight, need better names. Mini Cooper Medium Cooper Large Cooper LOL, I would think marketing would love to come up with a better name for a auto that is no longer MINI.
  11. That was way cool, Love the Flying Car Mode. Course if they got rid of all the nanny devices, they might not need Flying Car mode.
  12. Awesome write up, great info and loved it as I learned plenty from it. I know I read about GM and other auto companies who at SEMA signed on to use Google Android system for the NAV units. I suspect we will see a complete change over on these Infotainment systems in a year or so as they begin to role out a customized version of Android with Nav units in the new models. Found these stories about the new system; http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-01-06/google-teams-with-gm-honda-and-audi-to-bring-android-to-cars http://www.autoweek.com/article/20140107/CARNEWS/140109907 http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1089496_audi-gm-honda-and-hyundai-bring-android-to-the-car-at-ces http://www.technologytell.com/in-car-tech/7102/we-for-one-welcome-our-open-source-infotainment-overlords/
  13. One PreGM Bankruptcy and the BEAN counters were in control, so the cost of lawsuits outweighed building the product right. Clear enough, GM is aggressively working to fix this. I feel for the people who died and the families who lost loved ones. I think GM would be wise to let people know if all the deaths were only due to this or if human error also truly played a part as they imply in the comment about alcohol and other issues. End game, GM is still way better than they used to be. Can they improve YES THEY CAN, I believe this is a good test case for them to show it by aggressively going after repairing this. I would still take one of these GM auto's over anything German or Asian built. Simple fix, replace the ignition switch.
  14. Crazy waste of time when they could drop in like dwight points out a solid pushrod v8. Turbo's are over rated.
  15. Believe it when I see it, I think they have missed the window, but could be wrong. Tesla will be the champ for now till one of the big 3 auto companies finally get their act together to bring out various plug in versions including moving a pure electric play with generator into multiple platforms such as Trucks, SUV's full size and CUV's. Chevy could have a win win if they put the VOLT into say the Equinox and Tahoe along with he 1500 base truck.
  16. Awesome, Congrats, I look forward to hearing about your experience with the Cruze Diesel. So far what I have heard around here in Seattle is people are very happy with it.
  17. Congratulations, sweet looking little ride. Awesome to have a new auto that you do not have to think about seeing your mechanic any time soon. Way to go on this new ride and way to go in staying focused on paying off the student loans. My hat is tipped to you!
  18. Why even bother making a news release as they have no trust in the public to actually deliver. On top of that, saying that select Fiat dealers will get the 4C along with the Maserati dealers sure sends a mixed message. Interesting so I guess then the Bellevue Maserati dealership and the two largest fiat dealerships which are only a couple miles away from this Maserati dealership, one to the north and one to the south will all get the 4C then. Do not believe it.
  19. Those leather seats make it look so much better. I would love to see the door panels changed out to match the seats. Very custom but nice sync with the leather seats, leather door panels. Keep up the awesome work, your car really shines.
  20. For me Mike, I like to update my exterior lights, interior lights and if a dash trim piece wears out or gets broken replace it with a quality piece which is not always OEM. In regards to putting a carpet on my dash or smoke spraying the headlights or other interior pieces, I tend to be more purist in keeping the interior the way the OEM made it. The biggest change I did was add sound deadening to my 94 Suburban so the inside ride is even quieter. I always enjoy seeing what others might do, but usually keep it simple.
  21. Love that Washington Plated GTO, those auto's Rock and on a dry day no less. That Pontiac show I heard was really good.
