Option Packages exclusive to future Cadillacs
Why would you not want the memory foam? Seems a few others here are not real fans of it either, but while I think the beds are just OK, the pillows and seats I have used are really comfy compared to traditional foam.

Industry News: NHTSA Ponders Auto Braking Systems
True the insurance industry mandate is to have NHTSA push everything they want to automate and make accidents a thing of the past so that they get to take your money and give nothing in return. Course if we go auto self driving cars, does that mean we can have NHTSA Mandate no need for insurance than?

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo
Would it be due to the large amount of Animation they consume so they are constantly making anime cars that are a love it or hate it look. After all Anime is all about a certain look, not a driving dynamic. They need to go to the Autobahn to learn driving dynamic. Asia = NO DRIVING DYNAMIC.

I am not sold on the tubo V6 engines like some others here are. I remember the first round of Turbo 4 bangers and v6's from the 80 and while things have gotten better in build quality, the mileage under real world driving does not improve that much. GM offering a volt drive train and diesels/CNG in the full size will get much better results and green credentials. Public preception is very important and right now People want their big roomy auto's but also a bit of green. I think they could do better on this front.

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.

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.

Your Ideal Vehicle
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.
