    Considering the large finds off the coast of Brazil, we have hardly truly check the whole planet and I think there is far more than we know in the ground, but considering that Natural Gas is a much cleaner source, we might as well just move over to CNG auto's and CNG Power Plants.

    How was the fit and finish of these models? Did everything feel solid to you? I wonder how this will sale in comparison to the Acadia when they are side by side. Comparing this to the Acadia Pics I uploaded from the Seattle Auto Show leaves this car with some glaring omisions. My gut tells me GMC will win between these two, but this comparison while a solid review does not seem to deliver a the goods.

    I wonder how much of this discovery is manipulated by the Planet lovers that refuse to allow us to test and tap sources in off limit areas. So much money is spent on fighting the oil users of the world and coal users and yet they also fight to keep from going to a cleaner source such as CNG. Both electrical production and auto's would run so much cleaner on CNG.

    I answered this before, but here it is again: a large empty storage space containing a single USB plug in the rear. Found a pic: Source: http://www.carrentin...l-luxury-trim/# WOW, I was in so many ATS at the Customer Apprciation night and NO ONE, not a single sales person or the GM CUE reps ever said there was a storage bin there and it does not look like that interface would be a door. That is amazing, but also sad as the CD player should really be there.

    WOW 22% increase in sales! O'hh wait they are bankrupt, dead product line and the sales numbers still do not support a product road map in America. My bad.

    This is just a temporary bump, I do not expect to see this continue as the car is a niche and once the initial demand is met, then it will fall back to slow low levels of sales. Today's people have many other things than a sporty two door, two person run about that cannot haul anything other than people. This is my only concern about GM doing their version is can it really be supported by the population or will it be a niche auto that will be a drain on the cash flow?

    Love the auto's, like Balthazar I do love the last one especially since it is not sitting on the freakin ground. Not every auto needs to be Cig pack high or lower. Never been a fan of laying the frame on the ground. No purpose or usability there to me. These are some lovely rides Thanks for posting.

    after having my CD collection smashed by an accident, I have come to appreciate keeping the masters at home, rip the songs onto a USB drive, SD card or my Zune and play them in the car. More music, greater variety and no chance of the cd's getting borken, warped or messed up. For me, I have moved beyond the CD drive need in an Auto. I will say I do wonder what is behind the dash in the ATS that they could not have had the drive mounted there leaving more room in the glove box.

    I can see Telsa becoming a division of GM, moved into the Caddy Family as a special sub division and then the technology used to move Volt everywhere with longer battery life and reducing the price greatly.

    Very True, distinct design language that is clean and Identifiable. All GM models should strive for that individual goal.

    H'mmmm are we just a bit late to the AWD party or what?
  14. G. David Felt
    That would confuse me also. What the hell happened to the rest of the electronics.

    I have pictures of the glove box with the single cd/dvd player in my cadillac customer appreciation editorial. I have not looked, but does the stereo have an internal harddrive to strip the songs off the cd's? Otherwise I know it has an SD slot so you could get a 64gb SD card and load it with music and plug it in. To me an SD with music on it is far better than cd's.
  16. G. David Felt
    Actually if you really read the fine print, this single disc slot will play a cd but is mostly for the NAV DVD. CD by what I am finding on the internet is considered dead by the auto industry since you have your Ipod/Zun/Smartphones with play lists and the USB ports and of course you have Serius XM satellite for great tunes. Hate to say it, but buying music on CD is becoming like a record, a dead market.

    I think $59,000 grand is too damn expensive, but I've learned by now that no one cares what I think. Anyhow, on a serious and less curmudgeonly note, I don't think it's exactly fair to single Tesla out on the fact that you can option up a $59,000 dollar Model S to almost double its base MSRP (in other words, buy one for the cost of two). Porsche is far more guilty of this. Go load up a V6-powered Panamera sedan as much as you possibly can on their online builder and tell me who deserves to be crucified here. Options are the easiest and quickest way for automakers to make money. I shouldn't have to say that. It's a huge factor in how Porsche is happily humming along building expensive aspirational cars in a market that, in reality, doesn't support them. For a small automaker like Tesla that needs all of the money it can get to grow larger, this route is a no brainer. Personally, I hope that we see more cars like the Model S that correctly marry the concept of performance and electric propulsion with a price tag that doesn't just appeal to the "one percent" (as expensive as it already is, it isn't totally unobtainable to those upper middle class citizens capable of paying a monthly installment on a new BMW 5er, etc.). If someone builds that cheap plug-in $20k rear-drive coupe that I mentioned earlier, I'll get on the electric car bandwagon quietly and happily. It is just not Telsa, I discovered you can take a CTS Coupe V and with all options and adding in the performance upgrades from GM Performance have a $100,000 coupe.

    I will remember to pluck you out of my suburban grill along with the rest of the cyclist that think they belong on the roads with auto's.

    No one ever said Luxury Auto's were about Fuel mileage. For most people who can afford a luxury compact car, this is great mileage.

    LOL who would not have seen this coming are really sleeping. This company might have 2013 as a stand alone, but I would doubt it. I suspect they are fishing themselves around and will be a division in another company by mid year 2013.
  23. G. David Felt
    I would agree with you on everything you say except the time line. 2050-2075 for a 30% market share.
  24. G. David Felt
    They probably could have covered a couple police or firefighters salary with what they spent on this stupid project.

    Clearly that was missing from the mgmt team when the discussion about names came up.
