    For $54K (Tahoe), it's not going to help the image any. It hasn't in 6 years, anyway. But niether has their $50K regular gas version. People who use these auto's are still buying them but as far as gaining new ones, they need to take a volt approach to the full size SUV's and still give hit towing capability while doubling the gas mileage and they will see sales.

    Sweet Looking Truck. GMC is on a roll with their Trucks, now to just get the full size Yukon to look better than the girly style it has. I would love the look of the Terrain on the Yukon. That would be one hot Full Size SUV.

    Keep your auto braking system out of my auto. Too early and do not need it plus the extra weight.

    GM Needs a Torquey High Mileage V4, V6, and V8 Diesel for small and large trucks and SUV's. They could have a better image if they actually advertised their 22MPG Hybrid SUV Tahoe, Yukon & Escalade. This beats their 15mpg versions. Yet GM seems to not really want to do Hybrids. The VOLT system should be in a Suburban, this is a perfect place for this type of power train. GM should also be pushing more for CNG. They have brought out products but no marketing and the dealerships are really not into doing it either. Lost opportunity to make clean burning engines.

    Give me the clear line of sight of my 94 GMC Subububan with a modern small block V8 Diesel or better yet CNG, around 300HP, 450lbs of torque, update the dash to have a modern NAV, Stereo and better interior materials, but keep the 2nd row bench fold flat into the floor and removable 3rd seat but in split style for lite removal and the final piece would be AWD. I would be happy to have this for road trips, driving up the mountain for skiing and camping and general hauling of trailers/toys. Course I am going to build my own, so I will end up with it one way or another.

    Interior is OK, but I get Dejavu that this was a warmup of the left over MayBach car designs and very 90's dated. Interior is nice and I have no problems with that, but like Drew, I will have to warm up to this ugly one. -1 for the dated body style.
  7. G. David Felt
    WOW, I see now why you took so many pictures down low and did not show off the poor back window design. This has got to be one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen and clearly could use some help in the design language category outside. I know the inside seems to be pretty good,but the rest of this car is a mess. I would suggest they make a major remake of the body style.

    Cobbled Crap, he must have been over paid to have money to waste on this vision. WOW not a good thing unless you need an engine. Might be worth the $3000 they are asking from a parts stand point.

    New Ford C-Max Hybrid in Candy Blue. Very cool color.
  10. G. David Felt
    That sounds like a true bend over and take it like a man statement! I vote the 4-6-8 V8 as one of the worst engines ever right up with the lousy Diesel converted V8's GM built also.

    I agree with Drew, I drove both a FWD and AWD model and I was really surprised. This is not your Grandfathers FWD. The FWD is really well controlled and the AWD is amazingly well balanced. I would say that many could not tell the difference between the AWD XTS and an Audi.

    Interesting = EXCITEMENT! Best news I have heard yet for Caddy. Focus on quality high profit auto's that drive people to want to own a Caddy.
  13. G. David Felt
    Wrong product, they are too late for this limited market segment. They need to update and revitalize their current products to bring excitement back into it.

    Clearly the capitain is asleep at the wheel for steering Acura. They need new blood for cleaning up this house and getting it invigerated.

    Wont Happen! The CEO is clearly drinking the wrong punch. Start with better cars, not boring equal stuff to Toyota. I agree with all that has been posted here so far, but they have to wake up to the fact that they do not have a desirable product line to the youth and with debt still an issue for Americans, they need to look at bringing in quality products that drive EXCITEMENT, not BORING as their current product line does.

    I found that this engine under the Nissan NV200 is rated at 48.6mpg. They also have a diesel version that is rated at 53.3mpg. Chevy should have both engines at launch in addition to the CNG version which is also rated at 48.6 mpg as this could really turn into an cash cow for them as fleets move to fuel efficient service/work mini vans.

    Was talking with a few guys who are on the GM Fleet sales and host the GM Fleet linkedin group and they say a CNG version is also being considered since this van has CNG in Europe. This would meet the needs of cities that are requiring taxi's and inner city deliveries to be on a green source of energy. I see big potential here for this.

    Did Lambo's 50th birthday spawn a crisises that could only be answered by the crazest of cars? Read the review and sound off on your thoughts of this super super car.

    Excellent write up, I do wonder if the bluetooth connectivity is more an issue with older phone technology rather than just a delay.

    Cars truly have gone to a lesser pedistal as the flexibility of CUV's meets the more active life style or at least what people want other to think they live.

    No one should really be surprised by this as they failed in the US before and their cars are not that great. They have a limited market appeal and Fiat does not really seem dedicated to a global business. Ton's of Fiats sit on the dealership lots and few move. Fiat dealer which is part of a Dodge, Chrylser and jeep franchise in the greater Seattle area allows the folks to cross sale you anything. You rarely find sales people in the show room for the Fiats as they just have limited appeal in a suburban area.

    I agree that auto makers need to stick to real world numbers. more people drive 5-10 over than under. Such is the stupidity of the politicians.

    Exactly, clearly they had no sense in building auto's let alone taking tax dollars if they were not going to build auto's that actually had some attraction.
  25. G. David Felt
    Wrong Move, This is a BIG BIG MISTAKE for GM. Sorry but Chevy is entry to medium level, then you go GMC to have medium level to near luxury and then Caddy. Having a luxury level will just cause confusion and start to drain R&D dollars away from the proper approach to marketing with where all these brands compete. GM Wake up to History, Chevy does not Need This. Your GMC division is the luxury level with Denali to Compete against Fords Platinum level and Dodge. Wrong move I think.
