    Interesting how Yahoo publishes their story titled The 10 least reliable cars http://autos.yahoo.com/news/the-10-least-reliable-cars-181031192.html Least reliable vehicles, listed in order of Ratings score starting with the worst score. 1. Ford C-MAX Energi (Plug-in Hybrid)* 2. Ford Escape (1.6L Ecoboost)* 3. Mini Cooper Countryman 4. Ford C-Max Hybrid 5. Nissan Pathfinder* 6. Volkswagen Beetle 7. Cadillac XTS* 8. Ford Explorer (V6, 4WD) 9. Hyundai Genesis Coupe* 10. Ford Taurus (turbo)* I know they love to use the asterisk to dictate new model year, only 1 year of info. Yet I feel this is really an unfair beating on a New model car since they really do not have enough to make their ASSumptions in regards to if the auto will be reliable or not.

    agree, Coal is coming to an end. Natural Gas is the big wave of electrical production, plus the new CNG auto's that are here now and coming.

    This will be interesting as a new battle begins with low cost luxury line of auto's.

    Traditional Consumer Reports Spin proving their love affair is still strong with Asian Auto's after throwing a well deserved bone to American cars and then pummeling them in the reviews again.

    You are seriously delusional. CNG is not delusional, the infastructure in place is wide spread and anyone with natural gas at their home or business can install a fueling appliance and gas at home or work. No need for expensive stations. If CNG was delusional then why is the train industry converting over their diesel generators to CNG and the trucking industry is moving to CNG. On top of this is the marine industry is moving to have large ships go to LNG compared to Diesel. NG is a valid fuel option. All I am asking for is if they want to give tax breaks to Electric, then also allow it for BioDiesel or CNG auto's also.

    In bringing this back to the focus of the 8 states pushing with incentives to have people buy EV auto's, My whole point it that they should not just focus on EV but include all alternative energy auto's and let the market sort it out as to who the winner should be. I would take a CNG/Petrol 2014 Impala over a Nissan Leaf 2014 or Spark EV 2014 model. Where is my incentive for going green?

    I can't imagine someone in that low of an income bracket is looking at a car that costs more than $16k or so, let alone $30k. Yet they do just like people making 75-85K a year look at the tesla. Does not mean they really can afford it, but they will look and some will buy.

    Tesla while an outstanding car in today's society, is an exception and not the norm. Even their own polls seem to show a older, wealthy group of people buying or leasing these cars. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/7238-Model-S-Buyers-What-s-Your-Income http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/17717-Model-S-Owner-Age http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/6998-Model-S-Reservation-Holder-Demographics-Age http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/8920-What-was-your-age-annual-income-and-what-battery-pack-are-you-getting This in comparison to the average middle income household making 45-55K a year will be looking at auto's in the 30K range.

    Tesla is not within reach of most people Drew. Looking at the current Affordable EV's, Nissan Leaf, Spark EV, etc. People cannot go on a real road trip in these auto's. These are the auto's that local cities and counties are buying and wanting the public to buy and no one seems to be a voice of reason that while they are good products, they do not meet the needs of the mass market. The GOV is pushing a single version of what the rich have onto everyone and not really supporting equally other options such as BioDiesel or CNG where you have vehicles that can be driven long distances between fill-ups. I see so much push on Electric and a clear ignoring of alternative power options. I continue to see a wealthy electric only crowd pushing to make everyone go electric and yet while this is an additional option of choice, it ignores what I see as better options that should be equally supported.

    What a joke, just another way to waste tax payers dollars and put more luxury golf carts on the road that cannot travel any real distance. What a way for the governments to control population movement. Makes one question their real understanding of how these auto's are produced. No one has yet to address the toxic settlement ponds from the battery production.

    SWEET! Very nice looking ride. Love the extended rear doors. This is what GMC did for their Yukon and it really makes sense to have a larger opening door. Love the added space and ease of getting in and out.

    Belated Happy B Day

    Will Post more from the show as I scale them down below 3mb in size. The ELR, Dodge Durango RT AWD and Corvette were freaking hot at the show.

    Awesome Update and she is a beauty. Thanks for keeping us updated and the pictures. Stay warm.

    Pontiac could be a Niche player as a special RWD Limited Production Car for GMC/Buick Dealerships. That would allow them to build a special 10-15K collectors car and make profit on it as long as it was done right. Limited Production Run of a GTO Goat with the Vertical dual Headlights, opening and closing covers like the one on the 65 Buick Riviera in Road House. Awesome movie. Awesome car he drove.
  16. G. David Felt
    Very cool, but the hub caps I cannot identify.

    I thought in todays day of technology that we could spell clear and concise sentences. This makes no sense or you were drunk when you tried to type your response.
  18. G. David Felt
    That makes sense, gives time for Ford and Ram to dump their old truck versions and bring out the new so they all can reduce or eliminate the incentives. Plus SUV's are more popular at this time of year as people look for people haulers I believe. I always see plenty of new SUV's at the start of Ski Season up on the mountain.

    For me it is the New Escalade
  21. G. David Felt
    Interesting, While I think Pontiac had plenty of potential, it was probably best to shrink GM down to have more focus on the brands they do have now.
  22. G. David Felt
    Interesting, guess they feel they can compete with the ATS and BMW 3 series and MB C series. gonna be interesting. all sarcasm aside.
  23. G. David Felt
    Awesome potential but lots of work and money to restore it to grandeur.

    New 2014 Buick Encore at the Park and Ride lot. Talked with the Man who said he had spent all year trying to get his wife to get a new car to replace their 21 year old tired auto and at the autoshow she fell in love with the encore, took it for a test drive and said OK. They actually bought it there. Was a Mocha Colored one. He said he just kept his mouth shut since she was so excited and he was just happy to finally have a reliable auto that they would be driving.
  25. G. David Felt
    So I see they have the Coupe style of a BMW/MB. Headlights of the MB, Peugeot / Aston front end. A bit of Acura I also see here. Over all handsome auto, better than past attempts and clearly a nice direction of blending the higher end auto's to give them a distinct design language. Seems they have finally grown up. Nice Job Hyundai! Does it come in CNG?
