    Nothing New here as Subaru is sticking to their game plan and Toyota is going with their game plan. Same Marketing fluff. Be interesting to see who wins as I suspect they will want both product lines to have it to reduce over all cost.

    You ordered one for your self and are waiting for it to be built and delivered!

    BFG All-Terrain T/As Rock! I have them on all my SUV's except the Trailblazer SS and Escalade ESV. Trucks and SUV's should have this awesome tire and nothing else.

    I agree especially considering that the auto's run worse on Ethanol blended fuels. All my auto's run rougher when Washington state in October starts having the Ethanol blends being put out. So far the studies do not support the supposed extra cleaning of green house gas since it has ethanol in the blend. The auto's run rough and it is just not impressive.

    Very nice review and impression, guess you fall into the German Fan Boy camp, I find your comment about Cadillac to be interesting considering that at the Seattle Autoshow, I was not impressed with either the I3 or I8 electric concepts. In regards to German interiors, Your comments about CTS are the exact same comments I have about BMW. So perception is everything, CTS kills the 3 series IMHO.

    This was shown at the Seattle autoshow and received plenty of positive press and people likes but was not an available package yet. I wonder if this is the blacked out edition as it was a sweet looking ride!

    I will hand it to Nissan, they did a nice Job on the Nismo Sentra. Juke, Hello, this is just freaking butt ugly! Nothing they can do will make this an attractive CUV for the masses, this is an extreme extrovert cuv who will accept ugliness to just continue getting attention even when it is negative attention.

    I knew I had heard K900 before and that it was not a car. Sure enough, Lenovo had the first K900. Car over all sounds nice and to me is a knock off of the BMW but the Name is Lame! KIA, WAKE UP WITH SOME STARBUCKS and get a REAL NAME!

    Interesting, I can see aspects of this showing up on models in the Lexus family but the over all complete package is too Anime / cartoonish and you are right that front grill is just hideous, but then many have found the Predator Grill to be a bust. I wonder how long they will stick with it before accepting the sales losses and finally updating the nose of their auto's to not be so offensive.

    AWESOME! I want to go out with it.

    Have you actually driven one? To say Kia and Acura in the same sentence is a bit of a sacrilege. It may not be a 100k per year seller, but the engineering and performance of this car is impressive. Drive one, if you get a chance. Add 3 electric motors to it and a 7-speed DCT, and it should be even more so. I know you have to sell them CaddyCruiser, but this is an ugly duckling that will not become a swan. Hard to drive something that visually is so terrible. Fact that many humans are visual so this has got to be stunning and it is not IMHO.

    1990's exterior and interior, dated before even produced. This has got to be due to Toyota now owning them and their ultra conservative ways. At this point they will kill Subaru the way GM ignored and killed SAAB. Sad

    WOW, an overpriced ugly station wagon, but then Europe seems to still love their station wagons so I guess it should do OK there. Good Luck, wonder just how many of the current version they are selling? It cannot be much I would think.

    This will cannibalize their only faithful sales to the Cayenne. Here I have to say that while the engineering chops are impressive, I think Marketing forgot to keep this small er CUV in it's proper place. My gut tells me they will rush a refresh of the Cayenne to market next year after this kills off sales.
  15. G. David Felt
    Guess the ricer fan boys will love it but I do not really see anything to get excited about other than a quality built inexpensive competition for keeping GM on their feet. GM, time to refresh the Cruze and give some SS love to the Chevy Fans.

    Have to say that this did not impress me when I originally saw the photo's and now with a 2014 to 2013 comparison I can see the mild changes, but still it does not wow me to say yea, this is a great looking car. Top is the 2014 model, bottom is the 2013. Still not wowed!

    G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.cheersandgears.com On Friday November 15th, the Obama administration and the EPA acknowledged that the Bio-Fuel law championed by both parties in 2007 is not meeting expectations and that the US has hit it's limit for now. Against strong lobbing by the Ethanol to resist cuts, the EPA has proposed cutting the amount of fuel in 2014 that must be blended by 14%. Will this drop corn prices? Increase or decrease refined petrol cost at the pump? Reduce maintenance on auto's? Cost jobs in certain sectors? Sounds off on how you feel about the Ethanol blends! Give your positive and negative feedback on how you feel about this. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/11/15/the-u-s-is-hitting-its-ethanol-limit-so-the-epa-will-weaken-its-biofuels-rules/ http://www.moneynews.com/Economy/EPA-Oil-Industry-Biofuel/2013/11/15/id/536937 http://breakingenergy.com/2012/09/30/biodiesel-producer-urges-epa-to-resist-calls-for-ethanol-mandate/

    Wait for the Diesel, you will be kicking yourself if you do not. My gut tells me it will be only 3-6 months after production starts and they will have the diesel out. I know emotion is go grab it and trade in that bug for a Butch ride, but hold off and use logic, not emotion as you will be so mucho happier with the Diesel Version. You know I am right!

    WHAT????? Emotional Conjectures here on Cheers and Gears???? Never that would never happen here!

    Yes Tesla is the only one to actually have a real Electric car in my mind, but the bulk of the mass people cannot afford it and so that leave the pathetic luxury golf cart Nissan Leaf, Spark EV and Focus or Fiesta ? ev auto's. I might be missing one or two others but excluding the beloved Tesla for the rich, Electric is not ready for mass driving. You cannot just drive to work and then get in after work and go on a road trip without planning on where you will spend hours charging before you move your next little amount of time. Time is money and 80 miles, then a 8-12hr charge or level 2 4-6hr charge is NOT acceptable to the bulk of people today. People willing to accept this are a eccentric small group of the population.

    A gearhead's willy should move with this little hottie!

    Morning all, Has anyone else upgraded to IE11 or Firefox 25? Are you running on windows 7 or Window 8 or 8.1? I have IE 11 and Firefox 25 on both Windows 7 and an upgraded 8.1 system. If you right mouse click on the quote button in a forum post and say open in a new tab, everything works fine and you can reply and post. Yet if you just click on the quote button it will take you to the field to type your reply but be blank. No quoted post will appear and the only way to make it work is to do the right mouse click and open in a new tab for quote replying. If you just click in the reply field to post a comment, it is a 50/50 chance that you will see your posting comment. It is easily fixed by clicking elsewhere in the browser window and then clicking back in the comment field and you can then type your comment and post it. Seems to be a loss of mouse focus but not sure if this is a browser issue for both browsers or maybe an incompatibility issue with the forum since both browsers are so new. Hope someone else has seen this issue, both my work laptop and my home desktop exhibit this behavior.

    Actually, I have been reading and researching both the claims from the environmentalist and from the power companies and from people who have actually had fracking wells on their land. I admit there are those that have had bad problems with Fracked wells, but there are more successful and especially in the last 13 years fracked well's than the leaking destructive issues of before then. I still stand by NG and especially CNG. Safe and much cleaner alternative to go to from Petrol. Like electric cars perhaps. I find the irony hilarious. Not afraid of electric cars at all, just they are not ready for mass transit and cannot handle cross country driving. They are just a luxury golf cart for inner city commuting.
