Chicago Auto Show: 2016 Ford Interceptor Utility: Comments
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.

Hope they go towards the brick look of the Patriot as the Compass was just ugly.

Holden Announces New Chairman, 24 Vehicle Launches By 2020
Interesting, so then to say 36 powertrains, we must divide by 4 to realize that they will have 4 core engine lines that with different tuning and accessories will end up with 9 engine variances of the 4 main lines. 3 petrol and 1 diesel.

Mitsubishi News: Rumorpile: Mitsubishi Ends Talks With Renault, Begins With Nissan For Midsize Sedan
Surprising as with all the travel I do I do not see Suzuki auto's and commercial trucks much except in the Asian rim.

Mitsubishi News: Rumorpile: Mitsubishi Ends Talks With Renault, Begins With Nissan For Midsize Sedan
Conversely, many don't realize that these companies tend to very well overall when you consider total global sales. Suzuki, for example, outsells PSA (Peugeot, Citroen), Renault, BMW, Daimler AG (Mercedes) in total global units and have been generally profitable. This just goes to show how hard it is to overcome a bad reputation in a single country thanks to some $h!ty Daewoos. Mazda is doing pretty well for itself after its break-up with Ford. It has a ways to go, but is increasing its global sales and overall profits were up 77% as of the most recent quarter. Considering the constant praise its vehicles are managing, they're likely on track for continued success. Mitsubishi, on the other hand, is a fairly mixed bag. Globally, it produces about the same quantity as Mazda, but its latest profits were down 10% (but not in the negative). Does that include Suzuki motorcycles, marine products, etc or just truly auto's? Amazing to hear that Suzuki outsells those other brands.

Photography Thread
Found this lovely bike on a web site that was about lighting. No other information about the bike just the lighting to take the picture. Having never seen a bike like this, anyone know what it is? I really like the flow of the body design.

VW News: Volkswagen Still Set On Loss-Leader Phaeton
S-Class is OVER RATED! Being in a few I have yet to see why they charge so much as it does not register with me but then I guess not being part of the billionaire class I cannot fathom the badge snob of it either.

Chevrolet News:Rumorpile: Chevrolet Bolt To Go Into Production In Late 2016 In Michigan
Wonder if you could figure out a way to have this plus add your own little generator so you get a 200 mile range on electric before the generator kicks in.

Industry News: NHTSA Needs More Staff, Senate Undecided On Whether To Do It
Time to get serious about the US stop trying to push their democracy agenda world wide and being the global police force. Time to cut in half the 1800 military bases and 500 black op bases around the world. Bring these soldiers home, place a good size chunk on the borders to keep illegals out and cut down on the cross border illegal trade of weapons and drugs. Then spend the other chunk of savings on paying down national debt and to increase the efficiency of agencies like the NHTSA. We need a president along with the House and Senate that will stand up to the business specialist and military and start focusing on the safety and rebuilding of our national infrastructure and schools.
