    Only way to change this perception is to get people into the auto's. Since many do not like going to dealerships, it would make sense to take some auto's to the local busy park so people can check out the auto's and test drive them.

    That red car is the Alfa Romeo 159, what the Giulia will be replacing Boy talk about getting confused on their cars. No wonder I like to stick with American.

    +1 if he did pull the trigger on this sweet ride.

    LOL, No I am not nuts, but I do see inspiration here that is the point I am trying to get across. Where is the inspiration in todays Jelly Bean derived cars and trucks? Prius is anything but inspiring, most CUV's are now just as bland. I agree that Lutz did push the envelope, but even he was past his prime and we need people who are willing to look to the past and the future and graft and bring together new design elements. Nothing wrong with bringing together bits from the past in a modern day version. I know that some here would agree with me that we have lost the passion in the design of cars with so many focused only on how minimal they can make the drag. I do NOT want a redo of an old model, but why not take design elements that people seem to like just as Ford did with the fast back mustang and build a modern day right that can stand on it's own. We need the passion back and I see it in this company even if it is a grafting of multiple model year cars.

    One also needs to keep in mind that auto's will also always be priced based on average income. GM has looked at the average income and decided where a car will fit in. So in a city like Seattle with an average income of $51,604 dollars and a very high educated engineer worker base with an average income of $81,608 these prices tend to make sense. http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Location=Seattle-WA/Salary Check out your area and you will then see why the auto mix for where you are tends to be what it is. The auto industry takes this into account when deciding where certain cars will sell more than other places. Best thing one can do is upgrade your skill set to command a higher income. Good luck to you all, I hope you all get to have the car of your dreams some day.

    Find a truck that meets 80-90% of your requirements and then realize that you can usually add the rest to truly meet your needs. I have yet to ever find an auto that meets my needs 100%.

    But the Future should look to inspiration from the past. I think we can have some amazing cars if we only realized what has been lost in the Style department and this kind of car does inspire me to build a modern judge GTO that would be so much better.

    About time Honda got some mojo in their style, the porportions are about right and it is pleasing to the eyes.

    That is very good to hear, tight and like new is what buyers want to hear.

    Am I missing something or is the red car in the photo not the concept that everyone loved for the most part? Why a new concept before moving forward?

    GM has had a string of hits lately that demand respect, they also have had a few that are less then thrilling. Some times even a big company needs to step up and realize that bringing in an outside designer will not hurt. www.n2amotors.com This company has used the 1957, 58 & 59 chevy to build their 789, they have used the 63, 65 & 67 corvette to build the new Stinger. These are cars that Chevy could so use in bringing in individualism to drivers who want an amazing car with style. Enjoy the web site at the cars are beautiful.

    That car would so sell if GM built a smaller size pocket rocket like this 3/4 Judge!

    Ocnblu I have to disagree with you, this is properly equipped and priced and it allows Buick to take the models above it upscale just as Cadillac will take their cars up scale. GM has finally figured out how to build and sell profitable auto's that people want and the public will see this over the next couple of years as GM fills in product gaps and grows their product line.

    I think we also need to Question the value period for the contract full term length. This is such an outragous price for marketing that anyone with a reasonable head would have to question the cost. Sounds like GM did the right thing and I hope the next company that hires him will question if they want a man doing their marketing that will play this kind of games. As a stock holder, I would be exploding if mgmt was doing this. This is what old days GM would have done. Todays New GM needs to be better than this.

    Thanks for the link, he wombat is just OK, but the Urban Gorilla totally Rocks.

    So question, why do we have to have a v8 or v6 in the ATS-V at all? Why could we not go with a Turbo 4 or twin turbo 4 and use Electric engines and battery pack to give it a CTS-V performance level or even better? I think it was Porsche who had a high performance hybrid. This would give it green credentials and performance to boot. We all know you can have some amazing performance with using electric engines and a solid powerful small 4 banger. If a Hybrid ATS-V can beat a M3 while being green, you just hit the lottery for Cadillac.

    My draw back with the edge is the external Jelly Bean bland look. Internal is the plastic flimsy vents. From what I have seen of the new fords myself, they have come up in interior materials, yet still have many shortcuts showing and the vents are one big shortcoming I think.

    Very nice cement work, are you putting plastic on the wall and floor before you poor to keep it so clean or just water and a brush to scrub it up clean? Eather way, my hat is tipped to you for a nice job.

    OK, First questions as I have come to have male and females ask me these questions about diesels. When Idling is the engine smooth or rough to be noticeable from inside the car? Do you have the constant smell of oil burning or is it really not noticable? With windows up, no fan on or radio, how loud is the engine? Any chance on testing the DB level? Is this engine a direct injection? Does it feel nose heavy or lite and nimble? Looking forward to your review with pictures of the engine compartment and trunk.

    Freaking crazy car, they sure went through hell building it, fixing everything that broke and having a crazy week road rally.
