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.

I'll be in Annapolis this coming week. Shame if something would happen to your nice new truck... Or you could put a special bow on it for Ocn, I am sure he would love a present in the bed!

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.

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.

Mitsubishi News: Rumorpile: Mitsubishi Ends Talks With Renault, Begins With Nissan For Midsize Sedan
Truly Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Mazda and all the rest of the little fish need to merge and stop the waste of money on small segments and get serious about competing with the bigger companies. The days of survival as a small fish are over in this global economy. Time to merge and go with bigger, deeper and wider portfolio of auto options.

Chevrolet News:Rumorpile: Chevrolet Bolt To Go Into Production In Late 2016 In Michigan
BOLT Rocks, So much better looking than the Nissan Leaf or many other EV auto's out there. Just wish it was an AWD EV. Be interesting to see how this affects Tesla's Plan for their low cost version.

Geneva Motor Show Tease: Infiniti QX30: Comments
This should be interesting, Buick has killed it with the Encore AWD CUV for those Urban Luxury Get away weekends. These are the people who want to go to a nice resort be it on the beach or in the mountains and have an active life style. Maybe Ski, kayak, fish, surf, etc. So my understanding on the marketing is people who will drive an 1-3 hrs to go some place to do activities for the weekend. Interesting picture, does look like the 2013 concept a bit, be interesting to see the nose and how much they changed it.
