    Naaaa, Americans are too lazy to care about a 6200CC engine. They would rather just say I got me the big one, 8.1L

    Considering how much time a person spends in their auto's going to and from work, out to explore the world and play. The interior of an auto is very important to allot of people.

    Very true in your statement Drew, but we continue to see that people in the city and in the suburbans rarely get the Automakers posted MPG. The Media needs to push the EPA to change and either force a new way to measure real world driving on the auto's or drop the whole MPG thing and focus on a different rating all together.

    As an owner of a 2009 GMC Sierra, it's sad to know it took me a bit to see if I was looking at the outgoing model or the new model from this pic. To say the public won't be able to tell much of a difference is an understatement at best. Holding out hope that the interior is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of build quality and materials, that the powertrain is an 8 speed, and that the mileage is in the 22-23 range. If GM believes that there is no replacement for displacement than here's to hoping that they are able to outgun Ford and Dodge in HP and Torque numbers by a mile (like they did when Cadillac came out with guns blazing on the V-6 pumping 300+ horses). I guess with my 4 eye's I can clearly see the differences. I really like this Evolutionary look and the interior is awesome especially once the pictures were posted to compare everyone's inside.

    I am very excited about this. I really hope they do an Evolutionary on the Chevy & Cadillac as they are beautiful design already and then Dump and do a revolutionary look for the GMC Yukon line. Get ride of the feminine BS design and give us the Professional Grade Manly look like the Terrain on these bad boy Full Size SUV's. I think a Full Size Terrain in your face SUV would go over very well just like the Terrain has been. The current design language of the Yukon line sucks and while selling could do much better.

    This seems so last minute to make sure everything is in place. I have to think the decision is already made and they are just trying to draw this out to stay in the news. They either need to regrab the Mojo of the first Mini Vans to keep everyone happy and take it to the next level over the asian stuff or let it go and just focus on CUV CrossOver only.

    I am very excited about this!

    Again, incorrect. We have documentation of the bad stuff happening. Olds, other than some bad practices in the early days of the 90's in Natural Gas drilling, I have not found any recent reports showing problems. In fact other than the lies spread by the Anti CNG movement / Anti Natural Gas crowd I have not found anything that says the last 12 years has or still has environmental issues in regards to destorying the property, ground water or pasture lands for animals.

    I have had multiple Engineers that had to complain because of dropped calls, poor battery time, etc and finally got moved to the latest Galaxy III. They had to fight as their II all had freaky issues and none were the same issue. It is as if the phones are just buggy from the world go. The III so far have been much better, but the battery life totally sucks on them.

    I like the interior, too bad they did not have the black with Brown accent. That I think would look really nice. For me it will always be a crewcab. Not sure on what else I would want at this time.
  11. G. David Felt
    WHO CARES!!! Real Question is will the EPA actually change to reflect REAL WORLD driving MPG. Better to push towards a volt style system than to worry about MPG. Use CNG generators for cleaner exhaust and look to have superior performance from Electric motors.
  12. G. David Felt
    WOW, Love the comparison of all the dashes. Best are GMC/Chevy and then RAM. Worst is a tie with Toyota / Ford. The others are just ugly and pathetic. Clearly no one really spends any time reviewing their dashes for a quality interaction experiance.

    Johan de Nysschen, President of Infiniti Motor Company Limited, said: “Over the past few months, we have talked at length with our retailers, our customers, and our business partners about our brand. The need for a new identity and direction to promote consumer familiarity with our model range as we expand the portfolio became evident. To achieve this, we clearly needed a simple and consistent nomenclature framework. After exhaustive research and evaluation, we concluded that ‘Q’ captured the inspiration within the next generation of Infiniti models, as well as emphasizing our performance credentials while harking back to our heritage with the Q45 – Infiniti’s first iconic flagship product in 1989.” Interesting that so many tweets and Facebook ask the same question of what does Q and QX stand for. There are many who point to the original start of the Q cars standing for Quality and the X for cross over,but then that fails for the QX 80 which is a real SUV. Interesting that in the presidents comments he never mentions quality only familiarity and performance. Weird way to do this. I suspect Infinity has lost their way and some marketing idiot could only think up bringing back the old Q naming convention rather than actually think up a new and striking product line and names.

    What to do is use an Android phone that is capable of running Chrome browser. Chrome will render most IE-only website correctly. LOL except Cheers and gears, I have my Samsung with Andriod and Chrome and I find it so hard to find things and pictures on it. Then I tried to go to Hollywood.com and show the wife the new superman trailer and it would not play. Then off to snocon.com to register to make sure I start getting the emails about sales on ski gear and it would not allow me to finish the registration process. So far, I am less than impressed with Smart phones for web browsing or checking out web sites. So far, phone, IM, email and email that brings up news stories especially formated for the smartphones is about all I can seem to get that succeed. As a computer engineer, I become more and more disillusioned with how technology does NOT speed things up or make life any easier.

    Interesting that the 800 and 900's series reversed the release of the SUV's and trucks.
  17. G. David Felt
    Well... if it does not have the merits discussed -- frictional minimalization, power density, mass efficiency and cost effectiveness -- why does it have the aftermarket clout to begin with? LOL, Those are all the great Marketing Lies of why people push the crappy DOHC v8's. They have high horsepower with sucky Torque and are average at best. Also I have yet to see DOHC engines last 500,000 miles or a million miles or more. Sorry still not sold on DOHC garbage.

    Guess I missed that one as I never knew Jag to have AWD.

    I look forward to seeing pictures and a long term write up on what holds up versus what does not. Have you decided on colors yet and package details?
  21. G. David Felt
    I actually like the 2014 dash the best! 2004 to 2012 was not really much different, but I do like the 2014 looking at it in this perspective.

    Stopped by Verizon and played with the New Nokia Windows phone, that is pretty cool. Told them they need to bring in the 900 series as I do not want the 800 series phone, I want the better screen on the 900. They said people are not willing to pay the 3-400 dollars it would cost here in America unlike in Europe. I shook my head and said who ever told him that is an idiot and Verizon mgmt / executives are idiots if they do not think people will buy the 900 here. It is an awesome phone. Now I have to wait and see what I want to do as my phone is up in January and I am not sure what to do. So far been burned by HTC too many times, hate that Google android phones while working well just do not properly show web sites especially when the company has only standardized and support IE. What to do? What to do?

    Unable to sleep? Possibly a late-year addition? My Chilton's only lists the 151 & 301 Pontiac engines available in an Olds, in fact it lists NO 400 for '75-82 inclusive. I see the online O-75 brochure lists the 350 & 455 for the 88, and the 400 or 455 for the 98. Specs changed often in the mid-70s, that's for sure. While the doc's might not list the 400 online for the 88, I truly believe that some parts/options got cross swapped between the models as I do remember our Olds Dealership talking about getting custom ordered cars with options that were not ordered on them and only showed up on other models. It was a crazy time for placing custom ordered cars.

    That's pretty much my experience with the iPhone. I recommend it too Except the IPhone is great at passing on Viruses, removing everyone from Outlook calendar events, does not sync with security proticols and for those of us that are not graphically induced to follow a lemming company on what you can and cannot do confusing. Before the Flame mail starts, check out apples web site as they admit with the iPhone 5 they broke security and outlook exchange email. Isilon a company I work for has plenty of apple products and so many peole have gotten things screwed up due to all the bugs in the 5. I suggest holding off till after the new year if you want a iPhone 5 and give them time to fix all the bugs. I've been happy w/ my work iPhone 5...my company does everything w/ gmail and Google docs, no old-school MS stuff... You actually like Gmail and Google docs???? The gmail interface sucks, not user friendly IMO and Google Doc's has so many limitations that you cannot really use it for group work. Sorry, but I will stay with Sharepoint and Office Professional as the only real business tools and exchange.

    At this point you have the two camps of I like, I do not like. We just need to wait for the actual hands on reviews and get them on the lots for people to kick the tires and light the fires and then we will see how they really do!
