    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.

    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.

    Did some one over dose on Key Lime????

    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.

    Rubber

    I agree that moderating the posts should work fine to allow the fresh air in.
  18. G. David Felt
    Yes, this would do well as a CNG ride with some nice big tanks to handle off roading.
  19. G. David Felt
    Wonder what the gas mileage will end up being on these new engines.

    Great review, nice write up. I have to say Jeers to the Body design as it screams mini mini van to me and then has that freak-in ugly big black mouth for a front end. The dash while looking functional just screams minimalistic and makes me wonder what else was a short cut in cheapening the car to hit a certian price point. This is a car company that I do not see in the future just like Mazda unless it merges with some one.
  21. G. David Felt
    Still Ugly and upon looking at the pics again, this thing just screams to me Mini Van! Fuggly to boot!

    That is freakin HOT GMC! Nice ride. that would be so awesome to have. Just have to LineX the bed and get a cover for the bed. Then it would be perfect for me. Love the color too.

    True, but still just 4 cyls...it will be interesting to see how the current turbo 4 trend plays out...turbo 4s were fairly widespread in the 80s, most of them turned out to be crap and a passing fad. and still just as irrelevant. The Turbo-4s that are out now don't need to rev to get power or torque out of them. You're not going to be happy with a naturally aspirated 4 no matter what... we all know that already. The Regal GS Turbo-4 puts out more torque and at a lower RPM than the FWD Northstar did. Very true olds that the current crop of Turbo 4 or even Turbo 3 engines put out more than v6 or v8 engines did in the 80's or 90's. Yet when driving one of them, there still seems to be something missing from the over all experience of putting your foot into a turbo 4 banger compared to a v8. I call it the seat of your pants experience, but I do not get a satisfying feel from driving a turbo 4 in comparison to a v8. Yes I am probably biased a bit from having big power V8's all my life, but when I push a small engine even turbo charged still seem to strain in my perception compared to a v8.

    I thought both the Element and Ridgeline were dead products as you cannot find them on the Honda lots here in the Seattle area. Course they never were that popular here.
  25. G. David Felt
    Interesting observation, but the hybrids must be pretty damn good as you do NOT see them on the lots as used. I did a search for 500 miles around me and found only 2 hybrids available for sale and yet found dozens of their sister versions for sale. This is what I find strange, why are they not Marketing the Hybrid and bragging about the 22 miles per gallon. This KILLS anything Toyota has in a full size SUV or Pickup Truck! Even BMW and MB cannot touch what a Hybrid Escalade gets and you still have all the luxury and power of that hot V8.
