Happy 4th to you all. I am spending my 4 days putting in a new Bar-B-Que cement pad. Just hauled into the back yard 6,720lbs of cement. Have the frame in place and now time to mix and pour. Have a great one everyone. I will think of you all as I drink and relax tonight before working tomorrow.

Scion News: Scion Misses Youth Market, Struggling In Sales
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Toyota
Your Dreaming, even if Google did get into bed with Scion, the youth are so past this dead brand. I give Toyota 5 years before they look to shut it down. -
Why are we wasting time talking about an over priced, over rated german car that has yet to be in the JD powers quality survey in even the last 10 years. Bleeding edge technology, maybe, but quality? NOPE Missed again! Over Rated Junk.

Actually all of Acura could be shown the door. They have no real design language, their auto's can not fit anyone over 5'8 comfortably. They are designed for little people by little people and it shows and I really think they are way over rated. A auto line that could go away and no one would really miss them.

Hydrogen is a Financial Nightmare for those that think this is the logical next step. This is not the right place for GM to spend Money on. There are far more better ways for them to spend R&D dollars than this mess.

Just a poor execution of a Station wagon on steroids. Reminds me of Eagle in some ways but nothing that would interest Americans.

Scion News: Scion Misses Youth Market, Struggling In Sales
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Toyota
Based on what I am reading, Scion seems to be an R&D explore and see what sticks and does it have mass market appeal then we move it to Toyota. Over all expect Scion to be an also ran brand of the future then based on it wanting to be a niche player. Sadly they do not have a Niche appeal even with their FR-S model. -
Must be a EPA/GOV requirement as of this time, the cost for what it will take to build and create these vehicles does not justify the investment. CNG is a far more logical next step. Just like Bankrupt California, spending millions to build a few select Hydrogen public filling stations and they cannot pay their own debt bills. Some poor decisions being made IMHO.

Well, Cadillac has made that statement already by having the Escalade as its pricier model... Pretty sad when a dressed up Tahoe is your flagship. That needs to change. I am german and I would still take the dressed up Tahoe over anything BMW or MB put out.

The q5w rim has a certain retro look to me and the N88 has that traditional flush smooth look that will get scratched and messed up fast after just the first parallel parking rub. Over all nice rims, but they seem to me that they would be hard to clean. I like a rim that has a flow with larger openings so my big ass hands can fit in and wash them easily.

Still think GM Marketing is missing the boat by not having ads for all models rather than just a choosen few.

Fiat looses $10,000 per 500e having Chrysler absorb this cost to be compliant for selling in California. http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/05/12/chrysler-loses-10000-per-fiat-500e-sold/ WOW Fiat 500e is more expensive than Nissan Leaf or Ford Focus E. http://www.torquenews.com/106/2013-fiat-500e-price-threatens-nissan-leaf-video Over all I see no need for these Golf Carts except for the moron politicians in California killing business.

Buick News: Spying: Buick Belts Out An Anthem*
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
I love the Terrain special look and how it is anything but a Jelly Bean Chevy. I hope GMC keeps it different as that is what draws me to it. I will also admit when I saw and posted the pictures last year from the Seattle Auto Show of the Encore, I was also smitten with that as it was executed really well. If they do it right, people will cross shop with no problem. -
wow, that is pretty amazing. When I was last in Copenhagen, I was shocked at how many S class are used as taxi's and personal private cars. I asked about it and found out that not only are they heavily discounted but the gov. there allows you to write off the purchase price over a two year period of time as long as you drive 100K kilometers per year in the car. People in the business of driving others keep their auto's as diesel and get a new one every two years due to the write off and heavy discounts. To me, this has greatly diminished the S & E class versions to Fleet Whores who are no better than the Ford Crown Vic's or any other car that is fleeted out and used for many other purposes than just a high end luxury car. It would be great if there was a specific luxury model of Cadillac that was only built for fleet purposes, had auto opening and closing rear doors like the taxi's and personal private limos in Asia. I believe GM could really clean up on a model like this. It could be built off the same base platform as the CTS but have a totally different nose and rear end to clearly identify it as the fleet only model.

Independent Observations - July Car Spotting
G. David Felt replied to Camino LS6's topic in The Lounge
Purple People Eaters Rejoice, our lovely rides are out in their sunny Glory! Gotta admit I was very excited to be taking the picture and after the fact realize what was in the background. It took off out of the parking lot in a thunder of glory. -
Only a bankrupt state like California would give huge tax payer rebates to make people buy an ugly overpriced golf cart. Such a waste of tax payer resources.

The 3/4 front shot of the silver one just screams Honda Ridgeline to me.
