Hyundai News:The Average Transaction Price Of A Hyundai Is..
This makes sense considering that with Quality you get higher income buyers who wants more in a auto, so the builders and dealers will put more on the cars. Plus with all the new safety features this can truly jack up the price of the auto's. Will be interesting to see who becomes the new Low Price Leader?

Cadillac News: Spying: Cadillac CTS
I wonder if some of the people on here like to post just to post rather than contribute? I know we all like to agree with others at times, but it seems some tend to be specific in posting stretched info. Comparing Apples to Pears seems to be common place now.

Mercedez Benz News Rumorpile: 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class To Get Some Ch-Ch-Changes
Be interesting to see how long the camera for adjusting suspension will take to get to all vehicles or will it be technology that dies. I have a hard time seeing any real value in this compared to what GM has accomplished with their Magnetic Ride system.

Dodge News: New SRT Viper Slowly Slithers Out of the Shadows
I so hate Facebook, what a worthless site. They continue to prove why I will never open an account. No image to see and they try to pushout pop up crap and say you need to join to see an image. So far this Snake is not winning any points with me. It still seems ugly and I for one am not impressed with this way of trying to get interest in their Halo Car.

Cadillac News: Is There A Smaller Cadillac In Store?
The Cadillac Version I agree will probably be the answer to getting the VOLT price to drop faster by getting the R&D cost covered by the higher income users.

Cadillac News: Is There A Smaller Cadillac In Store?
With your Suburban, 13 combined MPG * 42-gallon tank = 546 miles. Yes, you can go far, but you aren't achieving anything close to good fuel economy... Fuel Economy is in the eye of the beholder. My wife was rearended twice. The first time we were in my Aunts Delta 88 at a stop light in Huntington Beach CA when a Suburban rear ended us totaling the auto and severly hurting my wife who was in the back seat. The second time was when a Washington State DOT truck was not paying attention to traffic and rear ended my wife in our Ford Escort we had for her driving required merchandising job and again got severly injured. What Price do you put on quality of life over gas milage? For me, that was the end to me having family members drive small auto's. The suburban had barely a dent to it's front metal bumper and the DOT truck according to pictures taken by WSP in their police report showed nothing but scratches to the DOT truck and yes our 2 year old escort was totaled. My wife and I would rather fill up a tank and have protective steel around us than deal with the body damage caused by other poor drivers. So from my point of view, Gas milage is all relative in relation to QUALITY OF LIFE! My wife loves the suburban for the room, comfort and the line of sight due to sitting up much higher as our suburban has a 3" lift kit. For us, we will never get rid of our full Size SUV's. Yes I know I spend far more on gas each month than the average person, about $600 a month, but it is well worth it. Buy an S60 and she'd likely be better off in both regards. (active headrests for rear end collisions) S60 would be considered if it was built and run by an american company and if the wife liked the looks of volvo's. We have all GM auto's. In both accidents, the seats were totally broken from the connections in the floor as to how hard the hits were, even with Active headrests I still think she would have gotten some form of wiplash. The first car did not have headrest as to why I think it was so bad and the 2nd car had them and lucky for her she was resting on it so she only agrivated her old injury rather than causing new damage.

Industry News: Department of Transportation Proposes Their Distracted Driving Guidlines For Automakers
While I think some of these limitations are good, I feel the bulk of this is Big Brother telling you what you can do and when. I agree that a driver should NOT be browsing the web or social media or any other visual/manual input, but the ability to enter an address into nav via voice input should be allowed as well as voice operation of other devices. I do not see this as distracting to the driver. I do agree that things should always be less complicated. Will be interesting to see what the input from the public will be on this. Also WHY CHICAGO? I get LA and DC, but I would think they could and should get input from say the Tech Valley of California, Seattle, Dallas, Miami and NY as well as Chicago.

Blazing a trail to the USA?
While I do love my current 2008 Trailblazer SS, I also do like this new version also. It would be great to get this with the 2.9L Duramax Diesel.
