    G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com Oil Price Drops, Worst To Come? CNBC had a great review this past week on Oil Supply, markets and where the cuts will come before we see prices rising and why does 15 barrels a day matter? CNBC Top Oil Analyst story with video http://www.cnbc.com/id/102414761 Capex Cuts will determine oil's bottom: Analyst. http://www.cnbc.com/id/102417058?utm_content=bufferb47df&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_campaign=buffer While we have seen gas prices rise again in the last few weeks, Inventory supply and the need to do something with all the oil being pumped in the US will cause prices to drop again. By the end of the week Oil per barrel on both WTI and Brent crude had dropped by as much as 2.4%. So if the politicians have their way with raising gas tax's when would we see gas return to $4 to $5 dollars a gallon? Some say 2nd quarter of this year, others are saying towards the end of this year but all seem to think we will see gas go back over $3 a gallon for sure in 2016. Washington state is considering a 32 cents per gallon gas tax increase to fund expanded road projects and general fund. Whether it passes the fall vote or not will be another thing and the fact that citizens are tired of funding things such as the 500 million spent on Illegals medical costs and other run away social services along with the under funding of schools and the education of future workers of America. What are your thoughts? Review the stories, listen to the videos and sound off on what you think Oil will do to this country and the direction of Auto's!

    Sadly for the Phaeton the interior space was just too little. A big person like me could never get comfortable in the front seat let alone sit in the back seat. Plus this auto should be competing against Buick, Acura, Lincoln, etc.

    LOL, I would have no problem driving older fords that I like better than this current ford. Plus the over hype of the aluminum and what I have seen as lack luster real world MPG of their small boosted engine line makes me pass on what they are doing.

    S-class has been the best car in the world for the past 30 years. I don't think the best in the world can be overrated. Few cars have had that long a run at the top of their class, 3-series is probably the only other one. The Phaeton can't even compete with the A8, there is no point in VW making it. They should put those resources into the Jetta and Passat and get them more competitive. Considering how MB whores out the S class to the Taxi Fleets of Europe and has to so heavily discount them to sell here, I would like to see metrics that show this is truly the worlds best selling luxury auto besides just pointing to sales numbers. If it is such the best car you speak of, then why do you not see S class auto's past 5 to 10 years on the roads? Is it possibly due to them not being able to last? Give more than just pointing at Sales numbers please.

    Better than Ford still.

    Yes this Big Mouth Bass look is just UGLY!

    Fun auto with a motor that had mixed results. Some had no problems and others had nothing but problems. Still the auto was a fun and I loved the game Rampage.

    Thanks for the pictures Drew. Now it really looks like a minivan to me. Guess their older block body style was not that bad after all as I like it better than this in the lite blue.

    Good to Hear Drew, my worst fear is GM sits back after hitting a home run and not properly refreshing and updating the product line.

    Interesting design

    Heck you see Teslas daily here in Seattle also. I actually am seeing less BMW but about the same MB and a clear increase in Tesla.
  13. G. David Felt
    Agreed YAWN!!! They really should have given a better update to this.
  14. G. David Felt
    I hope moving quickly means 18 months to on sale date.
  15. G. David Felt
    I could see this selling to the youth crowd. Way better than the Fiat buched up 500.
  16. G. David Felt
    I will have to give them credit it is a much better looking interior and exterior than their last version. Thought I clearly see the Minivan shape look. Maybe a bit to jelly bean. But nice auto none the less. Far better than their car line.

    It's an expense that the general public doesn't need. Plugging in 2 ipads in the back doesn't put that big a load on the electrical system. But when you add stereo stuff and other things like if you add an alarm or remote start due to the auto not having it, I have found in the past that if not done right by a person with attention to details it can come back and bite you in the arse! that is a question of installer competence, not electrical system capability We'll I did find one place that I wished I had a beefier electrical system. On my 94 GMC Suburban. I had purchased new current headlights for them and they caused the wire harness to burn out. So had to buy a new wire harness for the engine bay that could support the head lights. Other than that, you are correct installation competence is an important part in success with 3rd party products being added. It is amazing the quality of wire used for beefy stereo systems too.

    Makes ya wonder if they will use the I8 Ugly body on it or what.

    Love on the 14th! That ROCKS!!! Looking forward to the pictures and your take on the beast of yours.

    Sweet, Rocking the V8, yes he will fit in just fine. Welcome to the family, look forward to your posting and contributions to the site.

    OK, but the motor is more a take on BMW realizing they need to sell against the VOLT than Tesla. Tesla is pure electric no motor as a generator. I believe in my heart that politics aside, GM could easily build a superior Tesla type auto under the Cadillac logo.
  23. G. David Felt
    Hope they go towards the brick look of the Patriot as the Compass was just ugly.
  24. G. David Felt
    Interesting they should put these things in normal versions especially the electrical system.

    Awesome to have you join the C&G family. Welcome!
