    You must be in the 5'8" tall group as the Prius is with all the rest of compact cars being cramped. This is a commuter car at best and nothing more. The VOLT on the other hand can do road trips in comfort.

    Still just a luxury Golf Cart for Inner City use. This does not make it a road trip car nor does any of the so called improvements justify the waste of millions on the so called EV Highway.

    something around 1 in 4 Passats sold is a diesel. Jetta is approaching a similar take rate. The limitation primarily being VW's production capacity for the diesel engines. And this take rate is with an engine that is noisy. I have yet to be next to a VW Diesel that did not knock and let you know it was a diesel. I really hope GM makes the Cruze Diesel whisper quiet.

    That was true for a very long time, but the new MKZ looks nothing like a Fusion, so hopefully that's the first step in finally giving Lincoln it's own identity with each subsequent model they release. I find the new MKZ very distinctive and appealing from the A-pillar back. I think the front needs some work, but it overall its great design and hopefully a sign of good things to come. Side Profile Screams Volvo to me. The Rear is truly a break and does not say Rebadged Ford. The front end is just plain awful IMHO. I agree that their whole MK........... naming system will end up confusing people as the 3rd letter does nothing to tell you if it is a car, CUV, SUV, Hybrid, Truck etc. I have come to the feeling that most auto companies have lost any common sense in their ability to name auto's with a solid market driving name and auto identity.

    Find New Roads I can see as an Internal Company wide Mantra to push the engineers to go where they have not gone before. Otherwise I agree for Chevy this is pretty much a DOA mantra.

    Nice write up Mud! I will have to say when a person mentions hybrid the following comes to mind. Sardines, Coffin, Cramped, Sterile. Based on the pictures above, it would seem Toyota has done nothing to change my sentiment. I would love you guys to get a Volt and do a review on it and then comparison to the Prius.

    While I personally will not want or waste my money on a self driving car at this stage of my life, we do need them. I have become so frusterated with morons who cannot stay to the left except when passing, drive 45 in the far left lane of a 60 zone and then ignor you when you flash them to move over for going slow. Good luck, I hope you come to market sooner rather than later to help out with the idiots who should not be driving.

    I would not worry about the public perception and acceptance. At this point it is a Marketing War and GM/Chevy needs to hit all the right Marketing Messages for the public and make sure to have plenty of press cars ready to have them test droven and written up. High Mileage So Quite you will not notice it next to you. Interior Build Quality #1 Personalization options for the cosumer Have a catchy Tune or Torque it up or something that not only leaves the press WOWed, but also gets the public to come in and see just how cool these cars are.

    My Son had this brain storm of an Idea on how to tell what Asian he was for the day, so he had a friend photo him doing these faces and then he laminated it and gave it to my wife with a magnetic circle so she could put it on the fridge and decide what Asian he was for the day. So any of you have think which Asian you would be?

    Great Engine Guide here: http://www.gminsidenews.com/index.php?page=Engine_Guide Also here is interesting info on the Diesel Engines: http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/chevy/0810dp_2010_duramax_4500_diesel/photo_03.html

    Is the 4-cyl used in the Thai Colorado or is it the VM engine that never was (i.e. the one GM was co-developing for the CTS and that Chrysler uses in the Lancia Thema and the Euro Grand Cherokee)? Yes this is the one in the Thai Colorado, it is the more powerful of the two available. 250HP/406LBS getting in the 30's for mileage if I am reading the overseas spec right.

    Very Cool, Good Luck with the site.
  16. G. David Felt
    Very cool, would love to drive that road and check out the sites.
  17. G. David Felt
    Yes, and no resemblance in the design...the Aztek is all flat planes and sharp angles, while the Juke has a lot of curves... Butt Ugly Curves

    They need a global tag, but one that actually tends to strike home more. Take one home to the Family! Choice of Familes around the world! Exploring New Frontiers! Chevy, Breaking Barriors! Cheverlote, Breaking Bounderies! I think we need to spend some time working on a Global tag line and then submit them to GM.

    Found that Fiat and Fuller made tractors with almost an identical shifter, but in their case the Reverse and 2nd gear are exchanged. Very weird that others would make such a strange layout of gears.

    So is this supposed to be their reboot of their Luxury Line then?
  24. G. David Felt
    Diesel might be pricey, but it pays for itself in the long term and they have EPA approved CNG Conversion kits that mixed 10% diesel with 90% CNG and you still get your outstanding mileage. Those rock.
  25. G. David Felt
    Very nice, but I would rather have this same AWD setup with the Diesel and 32mpg. I do not understand why they cannot see that the diesel would sell big time here. Now I would take this in Supercharger form if it was running on CNG!
