  1. Watching a train of New 737 bodies going by on a train bound for Renton Boeing Plant.
  2. Totally agree, nothing new other than a look.
  3. Am I missing something or would it not make better sense to just put in a 1 liter generator and electric motors at all 4 wheels and get outstanding performance for a true hybrid? I would think this would be better than e-assist.
  4. Just another reason to hold onto my old Performance Auto's since this is the last Golden Age of Big Engine Performance. Or Next Golden Age will be when we have Tuners who build Hi Performance Electric Engines / Hybrid Systems. Once we can get 500 -1000 miles on a Electric / Hybrid system with Corvette performance, then we will be into another auto Golden Era.
  5. I know there is a tire called Credenza and I think in Japan one of their sedans has that name also. I just think they need to come up with something better than KH for their luxury auto. While I love all my caddy's, I am not a big fan of their 3 letter naming either. Most people could not tell you what they stand for. In fact without Binging or googling, I wonder how many anyone here could name for Caddy? STS = DTS = CTS = XLR = ATS = SRX = XTS = ELR = EXT = ESV = Seems Crazy to me to have all these acronyms.
  6. Happy B-Day Chris, may you also have an Awesome Valetines day!
  7. Saw an Original 70's era Datsun Pickup Truck. Looked like it had just been repainted and was in awesome shape.
  8. WOW, looks better than their current dull RX, but is the Predator look really the best way to go as the new design language for them as a luxury product line? I think they will scare off their conservative dull base of customers.
  9. That is just too funny that a car can make so many bad noises before you even turn the key on. It reminds me of the Yugo's that made a ton of noises before turning on the motor.
  10. Dirty Old Bastards
  11. Actually some of the funniest things about the Versa were the sounds it made. Please do share, after all we do find sounds especially body function sounds to be funny in the US. Just watch Rocket Man to see how funny sounds can be.
  12. Interesting, I like the look and it would be interesting to see how spacious or if it is on the inside. I agree with Oldmoboi, they need to do their research, calling this KH will not fly and their names need to be mucho better for a flag ship luxury car.
  13. Eventually RWD/FWD will be gone as we move to AWD in a Hybrid format giving us better over all performance. As has been mentioned, the last 15 years except for the Corvette and Camaro, Chevy has been a FWD builder of appliances that people seem to like and if you go to CUV/SUV you end up with AWD/FWD or 4x4/FWD. Active Lifestyles is making people change their thinking about drive trains. Plus Xbox has really helped raise a generation of AWD drivers.
  14. Optimism is what we have to always show so that others can have a reason to grasp for the dream. In today’s society, there are too many groups/individuals that are negative and it does not help with Religious groups attacking each other and blaming everyone else for their lot in life when each person controls their own destiny. We Can Change The Future We Can Inspire The Next Generation We Can Show The Way to Peaceful Coexistent We Can Motivate A Nation We Can Motivate a World We have done it before, we can do it again!!!
  15. A mocking Photo of you two with the Versa would have been Priceless.
  16. Flashing
  17. Oldsmoboi you are right on the mark, anyone who does their homework should realize tha the M6 is an over priced Pig with lipstick. Nothing there to brag about except the name BMW M6 Sadly there are idiots who will waste their money on this car because it is not American and has to be bette than a CTS-V.
  18. I think GM is doing the right thing by using successful Ideas from past vehicles to make a current product even better. Since Saturn is a dead company, I see no reason why this should bother anyone. So far everyone I have shown the new Acadia to really has liked it.
  19. Oldsmoboi, you must be in the 5'8" - 5'10" club as I could not fit even in a Mini-Clubman. They are just way to small for big people.
  20. Buzzing
  21. I totally agree, I expect to see us drop the whole FWD/RWD in favor of AWD as Hybrids like the Volt become common sense and as we push Clean, Hi output Diesel engines like the Duramax 2.8L, I can see us continue to get better milage as we merge these engines with battery packs and electric motors. I can see one day driving a full size AWD SUV up the mountain with a 1L Turbo generator that manages 100 miles a gallon and you have a small 5 or 10 gallon tank at most as the space of past fuel tanks are replaced by Battery packs. HOW does this relate to Kids hate Auto? Simple, as we break the traditional bounderies of auto's giving longer milage on cleaner auto's while delivering the ability for youth to have their active life style, we will see more and more youth come back to designing auto's. Just as a colllege has come up with a way to put coils in the roads to power electric auto's long range, eventually we will have drive free cars where people will not have to think about driving, just get in, tell it where to go and sit back, sleep, read the news, watch a show, etc. Kids hate auto's today is due in part to the Cost and the Bland boring cars. Just look at all the bland style that comes out of Japan and yet we can also see the potential in what is coming out of Detroit, Korea and elsewhere.
  22. We the dreamers need to show them the way to exciting auto's.
  23. SWEET, this is very cool! I cannot wait to see this car on a test drive at the track.
