    Agree, those donut wheels could be part of the extra squishy ride you get above 25 mph. They could go with a bigger rim and less side wall and have a better ride on top of increasing the size. I am sure the size had something to do with meeting a certain MPG.

    This will get a select group excited and sell these models, but with their history of poor reliability, they will not be able to grow this name at all. DOA, they need to merge Alfa, Maserati and Ferrari into one product line.

    Maroon was my favorite color. Please post photo's would love to see it.

    Costco has Premium at $3.91 per gallon and the average for gas stations is $4.49 per gallon for Premium. Crazy prices as to why I am converting my Suburban that was built up and uses premium to run on CNG. Better all the way around.

    That is why they just need to kill off the Fiat name and move those eco cars into Chrysler as the entry level and then build a high end car for the name. Ram is more than just 1 pickup as you have from standard cab to crew cab same with the van line so they are fine. Dodge is the performance line now so with Viper, Challanger, Charger and Dart SRT, I actually think this is a smart move for Dodge. Jeep is solid and fine. Their Ubber luxury is where they need to merge and combine under one roof with one under pinning to reduce cost, increase profits. At the current rate they are going, I expect FCA to either have to sell off a model line or two or declare bankruptcy in 5-7 years. If they do not change the way they handle the brands they will loose just like MB did and any other auto company that does not consolidate and standardize platforms.

    WOW, Diesel here in Washington state is currently averaging $4.21 a gallon. Regular unleaded is $3.78 a gallon and CNG is $2.09 a gallon.

    All of mine are still registered / licensed. So I be good with it. Though I do love driving my 94 suburban the most. Cannot wait till I finish the conversion to CNG so I can drive it all the time.

    They need to NOT waste billions on Alfa and accept having it as a performance package under a better marketable name. I agree with the Analyst, they do not have the money to support 9 core brands. They will end up having to sell off and fail if they go down this road as FCA needs to realize where their money is best spent. They should learn from GM and consolidate brands, focus on specific core brands. Jeep - off road RAM - trucks Dodge - Performance Chrysler - mid market Fiat - fold into Chrysler as their eco line. Luxury - Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Ferrari - Call it the AMF group This would give 5 core groups and each group builds off a universal platform to reduce cost. If they truly try to keep each name plate as stand alone divisions with their own unique underpinnings, they will blow billions and loose.

    I think GM handling of this is good and proper. If a family of a lost loved one seems to think they can get 10's of millions, then they deserve to loose out as GM is doing a great job on dealing with what was hidden. Glad to see that the lawyers who made the decision on the switch were terminated along with the admins who processed the issues and knew about it.

    Question as I have always wondered. Is the inside capable of being washing out? Take a hose and hose out the inside or did Nissan take into account an easy way to clean the inside to keep it fresh smelling and clean? Today it is a game of chance that you get a taxi that is clean and smells nice and does not have stains on the seats, etc. I was wondering if they had addressed ease of cleaning the inside of this taxi especially since it can have wheel chairs which can bring in all kinds of dirt and crud.

    After coming across the Hyundai Fuel Cell page and finding out today June 11th was the start of leases, I wondered what the cost was at the 20 hydrogen station in California. Prices run from $4-$5 a gallon. So the free fuel is a great deal for the people who lease these white autos. But does it make sense for these too expensive to sell auto's compared to the much lower cost of CNG autos? I also wonder how the public will respond to sitting on a 10,000 psi tank of Hydrogen.

    I love my 94 GMC LTE Suburban, not letting that go any time soon.

    Interesting, I wonder how they mimic the shift point feel for an 8 speed transmission. That would be interesting to know.
