Love the warm interior. For the exterior, I am so tired of all the Chrome Bling. I would rather have it all monochromatic or maybe use Black Chrome instead on this color combo.

I would still take the Volt over the Prius. It is a way over rated auto. Not to mention that while GM might not have hit it with their original electric car in the 90's, the Prius does show that if you have the right product at the right time it will sell.

Lovely,

Good Job, Protect American technology from China. They love to pirate stuff for free.

Ugly Not a fan of their new style at all.

EXCITEMENT!!! Nope sorry but I tried!

Woman Fiesta

No way to pay a ticket change fee and book it to be used on an actual trip like the detroit auto show?

Nice replacement for the DTS crowd. Excited to see it in real life.

http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/story/2011-11-09/Toyota-recall-cars-steering/51130852/1?csp=YahooModule_News In the United States, the automaker is recalling 283,200 Toyota brand cars, including the 2004 and 2005 Camry, Highlander, Sienna and Solara, the 2004 Avalon and the 2006 Highlander HV. Its recall of 137,000 Lexus vehicles includes the 2004 and 2005 ES330 and RX330 and 2006 RX400h.

The leaf while being plentiful in Seattle is a joke. Talk about a way over priced as they all are advertised starting at $34K, but on the lot, with the 2nd sticker they are all over $40K. I see a number of them for private sale with a few hundred miles and still priced at over $40K. If you have money to burn I guess you can have a toy, but not worth the time or money in a state where you have to travel due to a very poor mass transit system.

This will drive to faster change over of platforms with new fresh models. I like his goal, driving to 7% margin is a good goal and I agree better than trying to be #1 in the world. Just look at what it did to GM, then Toyota and Now I guess we can watch VW go POOF!

Amazing, these Hippie Wanabe COWS seem to be so ignorant as to the amount of Green House gas their battery packs create. More Green House Gas created for those battery packs than a normal gas powered Cobalt.

I think this is a good Idea to get more on the road, I just finally saw a red volt here in Seattle. They need to get more out on the road so people driving can see them. Plus step up production.

The car is looking good and sounds great. Awesome job.

boring

That should be a hot car to hit the streets. Wonder if the large v10 is so it competes with the Z1?

Boy do I find this auto UGLY!!! I do not see what the public finds so great about this auto. I would take the current skyline over this car and I am not really thrild with the current skyline. I think the R35 skyline was the last great design for that auto and this really should be a Supra as it looks like one regardless of what is said on other threads.

Hello Fellow Cheers and Gears members. So since I became unemployed, while I search for a new job I started to clean up to office of the few piles I had and came across the following: http://www.thedieselpage.com/duramaxconversions.htm I had purchesed my conversion book about 3 or 4 years ago as I was planning to convert my clean 1994 C1500 suburban to diesel. I still dream of having it that way but recently had a interesting idea I wanted to float out to the fellow Gear heads here and get some solid feedback. So here goes the questions / thought and I look forward to your responses. I found a 2004 crewcab 4x4 GMC Duramax with 135,000 miles for 10K. If I was to buy this truck, remove the body, bed, etc would my 1994 c1500 suburban body fit on this frame? I know I would have to adjust for the 4x4 connections and use at least a 2" body spacer to fit over the Allison tranny. I figure at this time since the 93-99 suburbans were so close to each other, I could pull out my existing dash and replace it with a more modern one, maybe even use what is in the truck. My concern is the frame, I know the mounting points will be different and I will have to manufacture mounting points. So what are your thoughts, feelings, etc? Would it be better to get a late 90's 4x4 suburban and go that route with adding the diesel? This is my other thought on moving to a 4x4 with diesel in a suburban setup. I have attached what my current Suburban looks like right now. Thank you all in advance for your input.

If memory serves me, is this not heavier than the CTS both in RWD and AWD?
