Industry News: U.S. Automakers Seen Losing Market Share This Upcoming Year
I can understand this, but I have yet to figure out why people like the uncomfortable, ugly and no room Prius. It just makes no sense to me.

Dodge News: Rumorpile: Dodge Dart To Get SRT-ified
CSUW (as well as the related C-Evo, D-Evo, C-Wide, and CUSW Plus platforms) can fit an all-wheel drive system. There's a chance the Dart SRT-4 can be all-wheel drive, but it's more than likely safe to assume it will be front-wheel drive, probably with a limited slip differential. I still think they would have a market for the youth by offering the SRT4 in AWD. Guess am gonna have to start a letter writting campaign. Good thing for computer bots to flood the email of Chrysler

Detroit 2012: Hello Buick Encore: Comments
While I loved the Nomad concept they did if I am thinking of the same vehicle as you, I get the impression it would not be successful. So many people sy they are not interested in a station wagon. A small AWD CUV would be best for Chevy.

Chevrolet News:Some Chevrolet Dealers To GM: No Thanks To More Volts
True they have an automotive program, but in this case, if the dealerships are not wanting to sell the cars, then sell them direct via Costco at a set price and then you just pay for the shipment cost of having the car delivered via truck to your home. GM could and Costco make a fortune this way. Unfortunately most states have franchise laws that require vehicle sales through licensed dealers. Remember what happened when Chrysler opened the corporate dealer in Los Angeles? I still feel that these franchise law are no different than the Unions in trying to control and keep only select people at the top.

Detroit 2012: Hello Buick Encore: Comments
Hope the Chevy version has AWD, this would really be a big hit for young college crowd starting out that needs AWD to get up the mountain to snowboard and still needs high fuel milage. I think a small AWD CUV like this could be a big hit for Chevy.

Dodge News: Rumorpile: Dodge Dart To Get SRT-ified
I wonder if it will be AWD? My son likes the looks and would be willing ot have a Dart SRT4 AWD, otherwise he is going to stick with the tight fitting to large people subaru WRX. Hope America finally gets on this small turbo AWD for better handling idea. Just think if the Cruze was a performance AWD car or the AWD Terrain had a proper Turbo 4 as the new Terrain Typhoon.

Industry News: U.S. Automakers Seen Losing Market Share This Upcoming Year
I would not totally say this is wrong but I do not think it is right either. Many people are realizing that the Americans are building quality auto's and at least here in the Seattle market, I hear more and more people talk about supporting america, by buying american products including auto's. This will be an interesting year. I think the US auto market could really take this to heart and run strong to keep the gains they have made.

Hyundai News:Hyundai Elantra Sales To Slow Down In 2012 Due To Factory Capacity
Interesting, they need to figure this out fast, maybe buy one of the non-used GM plants and refurbish it to get production going, they could be the next Toyota camry and it truly is way better than toyota.

Dodge News: 2013 SRT Viper Teased!
No FIAT would only spoil the look. I sure hope it is not what your seeing. April can take it's time to get here, no need to rush things, we need a cool cold winter and spring to keep the snow coming so we have a nice long ski season and we build up the snow pack so we have water for the summer. This is a good teaser for now
