November 2014: Volvo Cars of North America, LLC
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
With China owning them they will stick around for a while, but they could of easily become a foot note in auto history. Eventually even with auto companies in China, we will still see another round of merges and deaths. There are still way to much manufacturing space on building auto's and too many companies. Be interesting to see who survives.- 2 replies

November 2014: General Motors Co.
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
WOW, You really must not have looked at a Cadillac recently. Interiors are far ahead of anything MB, BMW or Audi does. Ugly parts? you mention they are fantastics cars but flawed and no clear details. Be Specific rather than another SMK who just pounds the GERMANS are Superior and moves the goal post when Cadillac is beating them. You have plenty of time and will not loose out on posting so take the time to state specific issues you feel hurt Cadillac. Back this up with facts of comparison against the German brands. Audi are re-badged VW auto's so how does that not make them at best a Buick rival more than a Cadillac rival? Since you state there are 100 things, post some of them. The only thing I will agree with you on is that they need to sell the ATS - L edition here in the states. Create a CTS - L edition also.- 56 replies

November 2014: Maserati North America, Inc.
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
WOW, "Now a strong competitor in its class with viable offerings in new segments, Maserati continues to attract new customers." So until today they never were a competitor let alone a strong one? Interesting marketing speak. Someone really needs to get a proper writer doing these releases.- 2 replies

G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com Reading this on Motor Trend and I have to ask when will this ugly CUV Coupe fad end? http://wot.motortrend.com/1412_bmw_x6_fighting_mercedes_gle_coupe_prototype_shows_lots_of_skin.html With stated AMG version using a twin turbo V8 engine, this brought up many questions for me to wonder about. Is the big engine V8 powered CUV / SUV's going to become the sole domain of Trucks or will the governments rewrite the spec to force the death of V8's? How does this offer any real benefit over the more traditional CUV/SUV? Can the market really justify / afford to support so many niche auto's? Does this tend to give view into what could cause future money waste and force MB and BMW to have to pare back their product offerings once the market stops buying the less than useful niche products? How does a Jelly bean style fit into MB style language as this seems to be generic looking and stand out at the same time? So many questions and no real clear cut answer. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Will this be a winner for MB or more of a distraction? Sound Off!

So it will be a 62 mile range in pure electric only mode. YAWN, The VOLT beats it there. The only thing that would be better is if they really deliver on offering this power train in all models. GM needs to role out the VOLT powertrain to CUV, SUV, Full size SUV and Pickups and cover FWD, AWD and RWD models. No reason not to move to this powertrain sooner rather than later. The torque of the system will far out-way traditional engine performance alone.

WOW, So copy the VOLT! Greatest compliment is to copy your competition. So BMW could do no better than copy GM's terrible VOLT system? SMK how do you explain that?

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet SS Manual Now Up on Chevy's Site
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
Awesome Auto, Hope GM finds a decent replacement for this bad boy. -
The SS was at the Seattle International Auto show and they had one in the Live Drive area. It was very popular as people were willing to wait an hr to test drive it here in Seattle. People were very impressed with the car.

Cadillac News: Looking Into the Mind Of Cadillac's President
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
I have two coworkers who have Audi's. A4 and A6. Both ride hard but they love it for that reason. As Drew stated, this is NOT a RWD versus FWD but the way Audi has tuned their suspension. You have clearly not spent any time in BMW or MB FWD appliances as they ride hard and are anything but luxury rides. Cadillac DOES NOT need to compete in the FWD subcompact space. Buick has that covered just fine.
