That's why NBA ballers drive full size SUVs or ride in the back of LWB luxury sedans.. I don't have to worry about anyone riding behind me, but I have noticed some cars where the seat doesn't seem to go back far enough....my sister's '00 DTS for example...I've been driving it the last few weeks (Jeep issues) and find even w/ the seat all the way back and the steering wheel in pretty far I have to recline the seat to get comfortable (6'0", long legs). Exactly, that is why all I own is full size SUV's. We just do not fit comfy in cars.

Sleeper cop car, so you replaced your v6 powered one with a v8? Or did you just start changing the outside of it?

My eye's are open SMKZZZZZZZZZZZ To me it is as bland as they always have been, but the interior is not anything special and way below what you can get from other auto companies. MPO

What about a Hyundai Genesis? That has more front leg room and head room than any Cadillac or Chrysler 300 or Ford Taurus. It's pretty big. If you have average size body to leg length porportions it is fine. But for me, shorter body, long legs, no one can sit behind me in that car and since the chair cannot go all the way down to the floor I have to be partially reclined to drive without having my head hit the roof. DEAL BREAKERS. Nice Car as my brother inlaw from my dads side of the family has one and I was able to ride in it and he loves it. but then again, he is 5'7" tall. Once you go over 6'2", most auto's are hard to fit into.

WOW, What a Bland Boring Put you to sleep Auto. The Interior is a Lesson in Minimalist, Plastic Cheapness. Just on looks alone both inside and out I would never recommend this to anyone. For the money, I see nothing to drive me to want to get this.

Bland interior with a Jelly Bean shape that has a Animation face on the car. Personally, a failure for me.

Geneva Motor Show: Audi TT Take Three: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
I agree Blackviper that the driver should have ease of access to all controls, but having no access to the front passenger I think is a mistake also. -
Are we sure this is the replacement for the Patriot / Compass? I tried to search for over all size and interior size to compare but did not find anything on the renegade site nor in searching.

The GLOBAL Economy is making it a blurred line of where your auto is built. The bigger question is does the company have what you like and are looking for? Then are you wanting to support local companies or out of country companies. I personally have never fit into non US built auto's but then at 6'6" tall, who to say that I might not fit in this little bugger if the interior is done right. Wait and see. In regards to WWII, with a long line of military on both sides, we freed the people in Italy from their Fascist regime. They have no desire to go back to it and it should not dictate if you would buy from them or not. QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY should matter and Local Support of Jobs.

I am diggin the JEEP, but LOVE this GMC, I agree, someone needs to have balls and build this but with a proper ground clearnce like the Hummer H3 had. That would rock! I do love the Renegade with it's classic Brick Look. This throws back more to the classic Cherokee than the current new version. Course nothing like the old traditional Jeep Renegades of past.

Geneva Motor Show: Audi TT Take Three: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
Exterior - Nice Evolutionary Interior - FAILURE Why a failure?, they have taken most basic items that allow even the passenger to interact with, AKA Music/stereo and put it only in the drivers control. With today's distractions from cell phones, eating, drinking, etc. Now they want to only have the driver with the control of the system, I do not see this being a success. Only dictator like drivers will love this full control of everything. I do not expect this to be a success and foresee Audi having to do a 1yr rebuild of the interior dash. This is no different than Honda's failure with the civic causing a rush to redo it after one year. -

Industry News: Apple Unveils CarPlay Integration
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
I thought GM with the 2015 models was moving to the Android based Navigation / Entertainment systems in Auto's dumping their own system. -
I find the engines interesting as posted by CNET "Rumors point to two available power trains when the Renegade reaches North America: the 1.4L turbocharged engine from the Dodge Dart mated to a six-speed manual transmission and good for 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque and the 2.4L MultiAir Tigershark engine and nine-speed automatic combo from the Jeep Cherokee, good for 184 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque. We won't have long to wait for clarification and confirmation. The 2015 Jeep Renegade will make its official debut tomorrow at the 2014 Geneva auto show alongside the new 2.0-liter turbodiesel version of the Jeep Cherokee." So answer me this, why bother with the 2.4 when you have superior Torque in the 1.4L Turbo? Yea it is turbo'd but everyone says these torque curves are flat so why would you go with the other engine that has less Torque but more Horsepower?
-
Interesting, sent the pics off to some woman I know that love Jeeps and small CUV's to see what they think about it, will post their responses once I hear back.

WOW That is one bad ass ride. The Tuner crowd would eat this up if they bring it here. This SHOULD BE Chevy Compact SS. Add an AWD option and you really have one sick ride. CHEVY CRUZE SS That is what this should be!

Tesla wants have a self driving car built in 3 years
G. David Felt replied to J Reinhardt's topic in Tesla
So EV.com has a story by Ken Green Burridge posted on Feb 27th 2014 that Rinspeed has a self driving prototype of the Tesla they include pictures. Very interesting. I can see those that do not want to drive having something like this to take them to work and home every day. http://ev.com/self-driving-tesla-concept-car/ Also when I stopped at the mall last night in Bellevue, I snapped these pictures of the free Tesla Charging station.
