2000 DTS, front wheel blew out on the way to work this morning so had to pull over to the shoulder right in front of my bus.

Power uses gas but then could it also be that Turbo Charged Engines are not as Efficient as the Marketing Machine would like to tell us? I would rather have a DI Pushrod 4 or v6 over a Dual Overhead Cam Turbo engine. More reliable and longer lasting I think than what i still see for turbo engines. Show me when a turbo Engine gets to 500K and 1 million miles and that it can still pull like a quality pushrod v8, 6 or 4 can.

Sweet Truck Drew and your right, the porportions are much better on this truck.

WOW, Talk about total lock up, steering and wheels, everything just seemed to be locked. Wonder what caused it.

So we break the codes into the cars and sell them to the highest bidders for control of your personal transportation. Can I get an auto with Sandra Bullock like in the movie Demolition man?

Happy B-Day William, thanks for all the awesome writtings, hope you have an outstanding day.

I have a fully loaded 2006 Escalade ESV Platinum edition that I bought New and still love to this day. Sadly the new GM900 platform does not have the same sitting room as the 800 and so I will continue to hold onto mine as it is sharp, clean and does not have any problems. In regards to the old statement about kids trashing auto's so just get a subruban, I say grow up and dictate what kids can and cannot do. Until they turn 18 and move out to be on their own, it is a dictatorship and you train them to respect and take care of things all things including respecting a nice expensive auto. My kids never trash my auto's.

Sue Google, I guess....what about when cars eventually are fully autonomous...I can see parents sending a car to a school to drop off/pick up the kiddies... Death of Humanity as Parents become more and more isolated from raising their kids. Sounds like an Isaac Asimove book on robots being the parents and parents are all selfish on their own interest and never really raise your kids. Parents need to be involved in their kids life including picking up the kids from school and dropping them off. If you want kids you have a minimum of 24yrs to get them raised, college educated and a productive member of society.

But the GOOGLE Priuses in Arizona are being driven by blind people. So how do you deal with that when the car accidentally hits and kills someone?

Sounds Cool, please show us some pictures.

500L loaded is being advertised here in Seattle for $19,900.

Looks like an african witch doctor shrunk the head on the truck.

NOPE This is one time where GM lost it for these trucks as the Cab looks undersized to the rest of the truck.

Interesting, so a ripe off of a lower lever model in style. Untested nanny technology that will break and be expensive to fix. Along with over priced package. Only thing decent is the powertrain. Usually I like the S class auto's especially once they get AMG'd but this one has me scratching my head.

WOW, Talk about a ugly station wagon like external and the internal dash is just pathetic. That interior is enough to have me never even consider buying it. What are the engineers watching to build a terrible dash like that? To much Anime? Loved the review and glad it has a decent powertrain, I feel Toyota will do fine with sales, but really needs to step up their game. The design language is just blah, and forgetfull but the interior is a horendous nightmare that I will not forget. Why is Toyota and Honda on these multi-split personality dash designs. I find nothing of benefite and only pure uglyness.

Guess the small bump from 181 to 189 might make a difference, But more noticable will be the bump in Torque from 177 to 207. Since the JCW is 208hp / 192lbs or 207 with over boost. It will be interesting to see just how much more they bump it up for the JCW version. I hope the Adam comes over as a Buick with AWD and a nice Torquey motor.

Totally Agree with you, rather commute in an hr or two than live like a sardine in the smelly cities. Not for me...I've done rural and small towns in the past, doesn't work for me. The good jobs in my field are in the cities or suburban office parks, I like to be close to everything...I like having my Starbucks a mile from home, a good grocery, hardware store, Target, PetSmart, a large variety of restaurants close by, 15-20 min to a major airport, and keep the commute under 40 minutes... I found that for the year and a half on the east coast in a terrible dirty state called New Jersey you are right you have to drive miles and lots of time to get to anything that has decent stores. Yet in washington state, I enjoy a rural life with a Home Depot 5 min from where I live and a mall 15 min from where I live and I can still drive into the larger town and get on the express bus into Seattle and get to work just fine. Not sure why NJ is called the garden state with how dirty the state is and the only thing I really saw was corn be grown there and then the crazy jug handles and lack of shopping. NJ should just be merged into another state as it seems to be just a bedroom place for NY, Philly or DC.

It works just fine on IE 10 or Firefox. I did notice that IE 10 if you go with default settings is really tight on letting things post normally. Check your security settings.

Totally agree with Drew on this one, the standard cab look defective. Just plain wrong.
