Those slicks are good on the track but might have a problem gaining traction in the snow.

You might have a problem getting it in the color and engine choice you want!

Totally agree with SMK that VW could take over FCA and streamline it by eliminating duplication, but if the company thinks it can cut its way to prosperity, they are in for a rude surprise and major failure.

Very Cool but man that looks cheap compared to the matchbox's I have from my own childhood in the 60's and 70's.

Interesting, I hope this is a bigger sale for them.

I actually like the look of this thing. I think they should have an SUV.

If he does this he needs to be fired, only an idiot will go luxury compact or luxury subcompact. So far the companies that have done that have failed. Just look at the hideous ugly rebadge scion that Aston Martin did called the sygnet.

Very Good GM, This is the POSITIVE aggressive attitude to take in making sure your auto's are the best in the world. Right Job, Right Approach, Positive and caring about the customer.

It seems Subaru also keeps making cars for people in the mid 5 foot range for height.

Decent write up and what appears to be a decent commuter car. Clearly not a long distance trip car though.

Very True, I would expect GM to use heavy camo to keep it hidden till release time at an auto show.

Jags sell poor here always in america. They do not really have what the consumers want.

Socialist European unions will be hell for VW to deal with as they do need to shed surplus capacity and reduce head count. Could be a way for Chrysler to become an independent American company again.

Not bad, I understand Z's feeling about the cookie cutter of small, medium and Large. I also know that my parents will like this.

Very sad as they clearly are not marketing it properly and have not put together a better solution that the public will buy. While I think the look of the Opel is ugly, the technology needs to get into CUV's and other auto's. Makes one wonder if Opel is doing to the Ampera what GM did with Pontiac, Olds and Saturn with piss poor marketing and the wrong package combination.

Yes let VW Buy Fiat and Melt Down. The market has too many so might as well clean out the Rif Raf and move on. Then we will start to see the Chinese fill in the gap.

Very cool, looks like it is finally loosing the bloated fat look.

What modern cars do you like? Methinks your pretty much a body on frame SUV guy. There are plenty of cars I like but I do like the higher seating position and space of SUV's as to why I have all SUV's. My favorite cars are as follows: 1994 -96 Marron Chevy Impalla SS, Last of the Real Impala's Chevy made. 1st gen Chrsler 300C SRT8 1994 Buick Roadmaster Station wagon 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Maroon 1986 Monte Carlo SS Areo From here it goes backwards on full size auto's Full size Delta 98 4 door sedan and station wagon of the 70's The list is long but they do not make real full size auto's as to why I am a full size SUV guy. 6'6" tall 275lb, I do not fit in compacts or mid size.

Interesting, nice review. Love the details but still enhhh I can take it or leave it car to me.

Downing of Flight MH17, Who is REALLY to BLAME? Editorial G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy www.CheersandGears.com The downing of Malaysia flight MH17, delays in access to the crash site, and shipment home of the deceased has many thinking about what could have been done to avoid it this tragedy. Another question to ask is what are the rebels trying to hide? The delay in allowing inspectors to the crash site along with the delay in collecting the bodies all while the rebels based on various news sources with cell phone pictures and cell phone videos showing rebels removing evidence makes this an even bigger question. Years now the world has known that weapons manufactures have done everything they can to keep sales flowing. It would not be a far stretch to think that there are many who are involved in one way or another in the backroom deals to keep the flow of cash going for weapons sales. According to Business Insider, Time, and the Moscow Times, Russia saw a 28% increase in weapon sales since lifting the embargo to many countries such as Pakistan, Syrian government and Ukraine rebels. http://www.themoscowtimes.com/business/article/russia-lifts-embargo-on-weapons-sales-to-pakistan/501300.html http://world.time.com/2013/05/17/top-russian-diplomat-explains-logic-behind-syrian-arms-sales/ http://www.businessinsider.com/russian-arms-sales-rose-28-last-year-2014-1 The world weapons companies mostly made up of the US, Canada and Western Europe saw sales last year decline by 4.2% compared to Russia's surge of 28%. This reflects selling into civil war torn countries that most western nations are trying to reduce. Based on so many various news stories and looking at the way weapon companies sales have been going, I will say that the weapon companies followed by countries pushing weapon sales are totally to blame for the downing of MH17. Russia as of 2013 became the world's largest seller and exporter of weapons according to Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_industry

This car while popular on Asian Drama shows really has limited appeal in my opinion. It has large blind spots and is really only a 2 person sports car. If it can be done as a profitable model, then I would for sure keep it as a Halo kind of car for them. It does set them apart from the rest of the makers. I think every auto maker needs a unique auto in their lineup that people buy in lower quantities. Not every auto can be a mass produced and sold to everyone auto.

I would love to see the break out plus the break out of HD versions of trucks versus non HD versions as with 2wd versus 4x4. It would really be interesting to see the real numbers of what is selling.

The Halo Product you always mention, AKA Convertible is GREATLY OVERRATED! They have their Halo Product, it is the V series.

I love my Full Size SUV's and will never be a full time real car user. Sadly I exect Sierra club and the rest of all the tree hugging nazi's to attack the CUV's / SUV's saying people do not need them. I just hope the public does not give into these home grown terrorist.
