Very true, I am the worst at playing politics and as such have been screwed out of job openings due to others that played better politics and could kiss ass like a hoover even though they could barely perform in their existing role and ended up getting promoted. Eventually things collapse and the idiots who got ahead will fall hard. I believe what goes around comes around and eventually the morons will loose who abused the system.

With such an amazing country to see, why would you want people to drive less? This is cast system thinking of keep people in their place. Politicians from either party are idiots as they only think of themselves and never truly work for the people. Term limits and accountability need to be instilled into our gov again.

David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com The late wife of the driver that killed Actor Paul Walker claims her husband was killed by a faulty designed auto that had suspension problems and that the car was only going 55mph when it had failed before the crash.

Funny that they want the smallest to be an S660, poaching the stupid name from MB. All in All, I think they should use the NSX hybrid power train in all 3 cars making it a family of performance sedans that covers a wicked range from say 200HP/250LBS of torque to 600HP and 600+ lbs of torque. It would be awesome and would lower the cost since most of it is programming / detuning.

True, it does, but does it have the Bite to go with that Rattle Juice? Me thinks it does!

85 Monte Carlo SS Maroon. Man I loved these cars, even better if it was an Areo model.

BMW and MB are going down the natural progression of luxury makers and will have to be rebooted at some time in the future just like Cadillac has done.

I will say that who ever laid the fiber glass for this car is talented as it looks really good. Would be interesting to see it finished, painted and decked out on the Interior and then show up in Hot Rod magazine as a Post Apocalyptic car.

Washington state has one of the countries highest gas tax's. http://www.gaspricewatch.com/web_gas_taxes.php I bet that if they dropped the gas tax by half and went with .05 cent a mile road tax, they would generate more income to support the state DOT in building new bridges, roads, repairing existing roads and bridges etc. This I base on the fact that at 55 cent tax per gallon and if the average car gets 20 miles per gallon, they collect only 55 cents where at .05 cents per mile, they collect $1.00 The key is these tax's MUST only go to the DOT and not into the general state fund where they get spent on social programs or what ever else the idiot politicians can think up on spending. So at 15,000 miles a year for an auto that gets 15 miles per gallon, one would pay $750 a year for miles tax versus $550 a year in gas tax.

That needs some serious love to restore. All the road salt is attacking it. Poor Car!

I got it, 21st Century version of Mad Max all over again!

Cracks me up, I will stay with my Suburban, the Mans Ultimate Mobile!

Ummmm, WOW, I am just left Speechless. Ummmm, WOW, I am just left Speechless.

Yes this was covered in the front home page story on FCA 5 year plan where it was covered that Dodge would merge with SRT and be the Focused Performance Brand. http://www.cheersandgears.com/_/chrysler-news/deep-dive-fiat-chrysler-automobiles-five-year-plan-r2211 Enjoy

Should we place dates on how long Fiat will hold onto Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep before they have to either sell it off or make radical changes? MB had them for how many years? 9 years if I remember right before selling them off for a Buck!

Cool, always love a good Toyota Blow up!

Even if BMW Bombs on this, the BMW lovers will still probably say it is an awesome driving machine.

AWESOME This is the way to send off the Top Gun generation as you get ready to roll out the new version. Wish they would add a V series to the Escalade!

Based on the horror stories of VW diesel owners with water issues, rough running, starting etc. I would say they need to focus on building a dependable version before trying it in the US.

And the start of BMW going down the OLD GM Path Begins!

NOT! What a JOKE! 4hrs of charging time for a lousy 18 miles of pure electric driving. It is a Joke!

Wow, that is actually interesting.

New Nissan Leaf that had a new tag in the window, just bought. Was laughing as the person was complaining to another person that there were no electric only premium spots for him to park in at the park and ride. Amazing how entitled the tree huggers are that buy pure Electric auto's.
