    You don't get to complain about jellybean styling by a domestic manufacturer ever again and I'm shocked you would ever wish a domestic manufacturer that is trying something new to fail entirely as a company. Someone just got spanked!

    Considering how long I have wanted a Duramax Diesel in a Suburban, This would be a welcomed auto. GM can bring economy of scale to these large family haulers and trailer towers while reducing the cost of fueling. I look forward to seeing this come out.

    So a little Birdy from GM Fleet made a comment to me and when I pushed she said she could not comment on future product. What was it she wispered to me you ask? I made the comment in talking with this individual who over sees the Pacific NW Fleet sales that I would love to buy a Diesel or CNG Suburban as Gas powered versions just do not do it for me. Her comment was just wait till the roll out of 2014 models and your wish will come true for Bi-Fuel. So I pushed her if this was an Impco product like their Bi-Fuel Trucks and she clamped up with the no comment on future products. So I am now thinking that since the 6.0 V8 in the Suburban is no different than the trucks and the better benefit is that the tanks can be on the driver side between the frame and drive line that this could be a very cool option. With the auto switch sensor between natural gas and regular gas, this could make for a great hauling ride and daily driver as it is cheap to fill up the Natural Gas. So what are your thoughts on this, would you be interested in a Bi-Fuel Suburban with about a 700 mile range using both fuels? Sound Off!

    Very Exciting to see, I wonder just how long Fiat can really survive. I still see only a rare Fiat on the road and the two dealerships here have hundereds stocked up. No matter what they do for sales prices, they are not moving cars. I am so glad Chrysler and Dodge are not going with Fiat cars. I know many here have said they build exciting quality product, but their style is ugly to me and many around Seattle that I talk to and quality/reliablility is another I hear brought up all the time. Maybe for the east coast being closer to Europe they love and will go with Fiat, but for west coast, seems Asian and American is the way to go. Mini being the lone exception and even then, the Mini dealership here has cut back on what is in stock as they are not selling much also. Seems a fickle crowd for compact, subcompact cars.

    I love the Idea, I agree all major autoshows should have their own folder and then by year under that. It would be great if you cloud list on each year folder the main contributors at the show so when you are looking for a specific writer filed story, just go to those by that person.

    Noticed on MotherTrucker, I did not have the option to upload any pictures, but other threads I get the button to click for other reply options which allows me to upload images. Figured it was a setting on that thread.

    Death is on their Doorstep, Someone will pick it up for a prize as Companies would rather pickup bankrupt assets than to partner up with a money burning company. My gut tell's me Death for Fisker by March. Bankrupt = Asset Sale by April or May.

    Come on up to Washington state and plan to drive what is considered one of the most beautiful drives in america. The North Cascade Highway. http://www.cascadeloop.com/ National Geographic has continued to vote it as one of the top 10 drives you must do in America.

    I love road trips and driving, no problem pulling 18hrs straight to drive to LA to go to Six flags or to visit relatives and see other sites and shows. But I know I am a dying breed as my kids want to be plugged into their electronics or sleep the whole damn time and not enjoy seeing America. The Y generation is truly lost out on what it is like to be in a freedom machine and drive the roads.

    I just love that engine on the cover of the GM Performance Catalog. The 502 RamJet is an amazing engine I wish was put into a Real SS Suburban!

    But you miss out on all the variations that are way to funny. Almost every vendor has 3-5 commercials and are running contest to pick the best one for Sunday. Without seeing them you do not know what you have missed.

    Interesting Jelly Bean of a car. While it tends to just blend in like all other commuter cars, I do apprecaite the Chris talked about a very important feedback. I love to drive and I want to feel what the auto is doing. If you do not know where the car is at any given point, then do not waste money on performance cars. The whole Idea is to becomeone with the machine and push the limits as long as you get proper feedback. Pass on the car, but glad it has some feedback via the wheel.

    So companies this week have been rolling out the commercials leading up to SuperBowl Sunday. Have you watched any yet and have a favorite? http://tv.yahoo.com/news/how-will-audi-s-super-bowl-commercial-end--you-decide--181755230.html;_ylt=AhC9VB5XUIFJWztrjZN_WcuOJvJ_;_ylu=X3oDMTNvNXFsY2w3BG1pdAMEcGtnAzNiZTg3ZGFmLWFjMDEtMzdjYS1hMTZlLWExYTYwNmVkZjViMQRwb3MDMwRzZWMDTWVkaWFCQ2Fyb3VzZWxNaXhlZExQQ0EEdmVyA2Q0NTk4YmMyLTZhMzctMTFlMi1iYmZjLTUxNWE4ZjNmYWZmYw--;_ylv=3 Yahoo has a section that allows you to start watching, so far I have to say that VW commercials are a dud. Reggie and Be Happy are not going to sell me a car. On the other Hand I have only watched 1 of the Audi commercials and it was the Prom one which I loved. Sound off on what commercials are making you laugh and which ones do you love? Will GM be able to top themselves with Dave having lost his life because he drove a Ford? So please post which is your over all favorite commercial and which is your favorite Auto Commercial!

    Intersting read from Car and Driver on the new trucks: http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2014-chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierra-spy-photos-future-cars Here is a report with spy shots on what they call the Ford Ranger replacement and GM's Mini truck with photo's. The Ford does look smaller than the GM truck. http://www.fordpartsbans.com/blog/2010/05/spy-shots-next-gen-ford-ranger-and-chevy-colorado-replacements-spotted-in-the-u-s-but-where-will-they-end-up/

    Having owned a Dakota for 12yr's before giving it to the wifes side of the family as a member needed something that was dependable since I take care of my auto's with all the scheduled maintenance it still goes and for larger folks like me, While my first truck was a Luv Series 5 1976 that I still wish I had, it was small and truly a 2 person only short drive truck. Yet the Dakota could get 3 snug and you could go on long trips. It was a nice truck and I think many people liked them as my sister bought a crew cab version of the dakota before they stopped making them and loves it as it is not as big as a full size, but bigger than all the small trucks. Great trucks, not distractions at all. Yet in todays day of high fuel costs, I can see the need as there has always been a need for small trucks. Who ever brings in the mini truck again will win with innter city folks who want a truck and for suburban folks who would like a 1/2ton or stiff 1 ton mini to haul the occasional weekend house project.

    Wonder if GM thinks they could do a Dodge and have the mid and full size trucks like the Dakota and Ram? Course having everything Heavy Duty to take advantage of loop holes will just be a silly small step as they will end up shutting it down eventually and too many people have no clue on how to drive a large truck let alone a mid size auto. It amazes me how much body damage I see on small commuter cars from people that cannot seem to gauge space and size around them.

    CVT is like classical music. Some you love some you hate and some just leave ya Blah! I really do see the Engineering aspect of CVT, but there is passion missing in them all. I have driven some rentals that drove fine, some that drove like nothing was under the hood and I could have run faster and some that had engine and just seemed to rev. I find CVT auto's to be souless commuter cars that suck the life out of you like a Prius. I will pass on them at this stage, I would rather have a GM 4 spd over a CVT.
