    FTFY What the? I so hate acronyms. Makes it so much harder to understand some times.

    Agree that the names hold more emotion, yet even then they were still over priced luxury Honda Versions. Acura needs to truly stop rebadging Honda and go their own way with body style and interiors that set it apart if they want to be a contender.

    Lovely Car! That would be killer as a Buick GS Coupe!

    I bet on the following, the ugly big plastic nose is for Euro spec pedestrian crash standards / ease of repair for auto crashes and probably the only way they can get at the engine for service. Remove the Nose, service the engine and put the nose back on again. Vans have never really had an easy service access except in the 70's when you had the huge hump inside come off so they could do an easy tune up.

    3 strikes and your out, we heard this all before and they continue to rework the same old relaunch plans. Same message different platforms. Eventually they will realize they lost the opportunity and just need to fold it or have it as a niche vehicle. There is no global ability for Alfa. Those days are past I believe. I believe this is talk to just keep certain few exec's or investors pacified to keep them from causing trouble as they need to focus on the lines that can make them money and not invest billions in a line that has a past due date.

    Except for the taxi drivers, they still drive wicked fast and tend to hit the horn if you hold them up. After all time is money.

    Lets just hope it helps pay down the R&D to get this into more variety of models. I think a Suburban Volt Power Train with a small Diesel generator would do amazing.

    Impatiently waiting,.......... Both are still very ugly IMHO. I agree with Balthazar that there is some cheapness going on with the all plastic nose. But knowing the idiot Socialist Republic of Euro, they probably will say it is people friendly when they get hit by the crazy drivers. Lately it all seems to boil down to what is people crash friendly. I wonder just how friendly it is compared to a nice looking body style.

    Wow, I wonder if they will get any law suites over the name since there are many other products called ProMaster? This is one ugly van. I really hope they redo the nose.

    WOW It is amazing how stupid lemming reviews actually can sell auto's. I thought the internet was helping people to get informed and choose better auto's. Instead it looks like Lemmings are winning.

    Other than Marketing, I am finding it more and more difficult to justify the TT V6 over a V8.

    I would agree with both Dwight on a next level luxury package but also with Ocnblu on on a GS package for the Encore. Luxury package for both markets would make sense as Dwight states, but for the US, you could also have an Encore AWD GS package. I know many ladies that would eat this up in a CUV package.

    Happy B-Day!

    They could start by building auto's that actually have style not the Buck Tooth Hick look. They could also build performance and High Mileage auto's that are true luxury and can really fit large people. 6'6" tall does not fit into Acura. I know since I have tried many times with my friends who have the MDX and no one can sit behind me since with the chair all the way back there is only a couple inches from the seat back to the back seat and since I cannot sit upright, I have to be partially reclined and so over all the auto might be well built, but for small people.

    Love the Idea and specs, ZR1 - Stealthray would be a great World Beating Supercar for GM to produce.
  17. G. David Felt
    If they think about that Chevy might blow a head gasket, GMC could do it and bring back the Syclone. That was one Sick Twin Turbo Truck. I am sure the new TT V6 would go into a nice new Keg totting crewcab truck for GMC.

    Would any of you turn down the opportunity to drive one of his cars let alone own one? While I agree with you all that he is stretching calling this a muscle car. I am glade to see a person having started a business and building in America.

    GM Hello, you had the Chevy Luv Truck with gas or Diesel that had a 5 speed manual in the 70's. I know as I owned a 1976 Chevy Luv Series 5 that was awesome. Nothing new here, just deliver what the public wants at a quality level higher than everyone else.

    Reminds me of the ugly mini mini van of Mazda. This is the same, an ugly mini mini van with no driving dynamic or personality in my opinion. If you are looking for a decent mileage cargo/people hauler to and from the office and around the home area then it is probably fine. Interesting observation is the people who usually drive these auto's are very bland and boring IHO. I feel this is the ultimate Lemming mobile for lemmings. These people are right up there with BMW drivers as being the biggest jerks on the roads. BMW drivers use no turn signals and force there way all over the road driving with a careless attitude. Prius drivers seem to be the opposite in some regards, get into the far left lane and drive 20mph under the posted speed limit and will not move out of the way for people who do drive the speed limit. Both should probably just use mass transit and relaxe with no stress of driving.

    LOL, a 69 Mustang Mach 1 just went by the office, Lime Green. Looks original including the fading paint job.

    The owner says he is making an American Muscle car with Euro Driving quality. A combination of marriage of the Corvette ZR1 with a Lambo or Ferrari. The details seem to imply a Ferrari style body / frame / suspension setup with the Corvette Power Train.

    Very nice, while not bleeding edge style, a solid conservative but pleasant design.

    So came across this story on Lucra Cars who has built multiple cars for the Fast and Furious movies. He became noticed with the LC470 and now has the L148 that is to go into production in 2014 as a $300K 700HP LS V8 American Muscle car with European driving capabilities.

Can he succeed and grow?

    But the new China Owners want to build a flag ship auto to announce to the world that they are a luxury maker to compete with.
