Yup Saw a red one again this morning on the commute into the office. Now that it comes to mind, it had a funky plate on the car. I wonder if it is a traveling mule going to the dealerships around here to show off to people and build excitement. Caddilac did that with their early SRX and I saw one driving around my area for a few weeks.

Ugh, Nodded off just looking at it. Will pass and Jeers on this brick on wheels.

Very Cool, The NEXT MAD MAX Vehicle!!!

I love the new Dart design, but have to question their engine layout. Why buy an RT with an engine that gets a little more HP but considerable less Torque compared to the Ralleye that has less HP but considerable more Torque. The 1.4L engine will be far more fun to drive than the 2.4L. Maybe I am missing something, but I expect a top of the line car like the R/T to have best HP and Torque, not be an equal to as much smaller engine.

H'mmmmm Not a fan of nanny devices. Cruise control should be simple and basic and not have built in breaking, etc of taking over control of the car IMO. In regards to Impala SS, I agree with Riviera, let the Impala top out at LTZ. Create a Real RWD large sedan that is just labelled SS. That would be a hot ticket as a solid Full Size Halo car for Chevy. In fact you should have all Vehicles stop at LTZ and then if they want a performance version of that suv or car, they drop the name and add it to the SS family of performance.

While the HP on a FWD is pretty cool, I am not feeling the over all body/style. Will hold off as the test mule really does not look good. The pictures of the blue A25 look better of course than the mules, but still leave me lacking. Looking forward to see what the inside looks like.

Sweet car, that is freakin amazing for such an old car. I love the variety of styles and the dash is really cool.

Awesome Job Cort, The new job is around the corner, Your looking freakin amazing. Keep up the good work.

I think Hyundia will eventually pass most Japan auto makers due to their own downfall. This downfall is that they spread out in trying to be everything to everyone. Honda, makes Boat motors and cars and generators, they seem to have such a diverse portfolio I wonder if they really are top in their game for anything? I admit I had a 10HP Honda 4 stroke motor for my small 16 foot aluminum boat and it was an freakin amazing engine. Yet how does that help with their cars? I just think they japanease have lost their way with branching into far too many areas. The Honda dealership by my house not only sells the auto's, they have a small section to sell generators, boat motors, lawn mowers, etc. I wonder if people really like it or feel it is weird?

Sunday Dinner is a requirement in my house hold. This is the one day my daughter an son have to be home. If not the wife wll kick their butts. Sunday is also the day for cooking and prepping enough healthy food for reheating during the busy work week for lunch and quick dinners. Ocn, love the dinner. Love Ham and Mac-n-Cheese. My take on that same dinner is as follows: Grilled Ham steak coated with home made Spicey Bar-B-Que sauce. Mac and Cheese, Noodles cooked and set aside, Cheese sauce is a mix of Chedder and Gouda with Diced Jalopeno and cayenne pepper. Melted down and then mixed into noodles, Back for about 30 min, then top with Panko Bread crubs for another 15 min to build a crust. Souply center, crunch topping, Spicy Yummyness Truffles and Red wine for Dessert. Yes, Sunday dinner is a must. Course if your work schedule makes it for a monday/tuesday weekend or what ever days end up being your weekend. Then you Must always take one day out to make it the sit down and enjoy a good meal. Kudo's to Sunday Dinners.

I have to go with Exiting the US market. The dealership where my son bought his Jeep says most people will not bother even looking at the Susuki cars. The sales people says the dealership stopped taking cars and pretty much they are working to sell off the 30+ new cars treating them like they did when they had their Saturn Dealership. Sell them cheap and exit out. The best media I had heard on the cars was the C&D drive over eastern europe to Alaska and down to LA. Yet Susuki failed to capitalize on this for selling more cars. I have lately heard from the Susuki Motor cycle dealership which also sells Yamaha and services my wave runners that the motor cycle side is no different than the car side and how people seem to just be waiting out the eventual death\exit from US markets. Doing a search on sales for other Susuki products does not grab much growth either. I wonder if they are just focusing on exiting the business over all world wide or if they just so lost their focus and way that they will pull back to the mother land and regrow slowly.

Cheers, Sweet ride.

Cheers, This is a sweet ride with awesome Tail Fins, So would be fun to restore it to splendor.

I am totally excited to see what Chevy has up their sleeves on this. I think it will be a big hit.

Usually I would say who cares on this model line, but due to the condition, the miles and the winning factor of being a Convertible, it is a Jeers. This is truly a beautiful car. Nice Job on keeping it as a collectors. I do only think he will get about half the price he is asking.

I questions the miles as the look of the engine bay and the interior floors would imply more miles than the odometer really shows. Remember, it was very easy to take a drilland turn back an odometer. Cheers as it still is a very clean car for the age.

There is a tuffness that UniBody cannot compete with when it comes to Body on Frame. Unibody CUV's do not seem to last like a Body on Frame SUV. At the same time, we could see Nissan come out with an amazing Body on Frame Hybrid using small Turbo Diesel that can and does handle the off road life and people would flock to it.

I will give them Kudos if they pull this off. I have always felt auto makers had way to many filters in place. I have felt that all A class cars for multiple brands should be built on the same underlying platform. As long as the design language stays the same for a family of cars, like the caddilac. It should be a reduced cost to build all A class cars for Caddilac, Buick and Chevy on the same platform with just different sheetmetal, engines and interiors. This is the future of auto making. Having the set of standards for connection points will allow makers to reduce costs and increase profits for better growth.

Balthazar, In seattle over the weekend, the sparks are flying off the lots. It is amazing how many I have seen on the roads here. They just seem to be all over and look way better in person than in pictures. The 500 still does not seem to sell, Have not seen a one on the road and the dealership I drove by on Saturday had another truck unloading more 500's and yet their online stock keeps going up. It is amazing, I wonder just what kinds of kick backs Fiat is doing to get a dealership to load up. I Figure 120+ in stock is a bit extreme for a dealership.But will have to wait and see. The Spark is really selling here and the IQ seems to be an asian crowd selling appliance also.

First thing that really bugs me is idiot reviewers who keep talking about base models for 22K and everything base this and that while also talking about the top of the line Performance model when it is supposed to be a review about the Abarth Performance model.Second issue with this review is they only mention that this model starts at $27K once. So they are affraid that if they talk about the Abarth model starting at $27K it will turn people off? Focus on this model and this model only.Kudos to the 2nd guy for being honest about if your over 6'3" tall you will not fit as he barly fits at that size.Kudos to Abarth for at least getting a turbo 4 to sound decent compared to Ricer cars with a tin can sound.Over all, it is a nice looking interior, Ugly exterior IMO and with a terrible History of quality in this country, I will take a wait and see approach to if these cars can hold up past the warranty period.

Some great options, my son just bought a 2012 Patriot and loves it. He looked at the compass and liked the nose but hated the rest of the body. Reminded him of an old persons auto and too girly. They need to keep some of the jeeps butch if they want the rugged guys to buy them.

Not a fan of these stupid Nanny Controls. This just goes to show gov overkill on trying to control you, what you do and where you do it. If they just went to testing everyone 40 and below every 5 years, 41 to 60 every 4 years and 61 and older every 2 years, they could keep those that should not be driving off the roads. This will open up bigger business for those companies who can offer a computers system that allows total over ride of the nanny controls in a car.

This should be very interesting, I am excited to see this new SUV.

Smart approach to keep long term customers by making sure you keep quality. Toyota used to do this and has lost their quality due to wanting to be the biggest in the world.
