Volvo News: Volvo Introduces Polestar Engineered for Next S60
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volvo
Excited to see this bad boy and see how the look is of this tuning feature pack. I wonder what the cost will be to have the superior Brembo brakes, suspension, etc. ?- 13 replies

Kinda like the stupid requirement to have a single tail light extra bright as a fog light in Europe. Those auto's then look wrong on the US roads with a very bright tail light on one side. Such crazy regulations. Some day one set of rules to follow for all.

Disagree, GM and Ford can have their diesel motors work to the Spec of clean exhaust. Germany needs to step up, spend the money and stop using cheat software. Cleaner air for all with less medical issues.

Very True as to why NAFTA made sense and it shows the lack of business sense by Potus. Emotional idiot child,

Musk has his key supporters that are some of the largest investors and right now they still believe in him. Yet with that said, enough small investors have now raised the when are you going to break even and better yet make a profit? If they are still losing money this time next year, I would expect some Executive changes. This is going to be a disruptive year at Tesla.

I believe auto makers who are on top of a segment will if they have to absorb some of the cost to maintain their market share, but I fully expect the bulk to be passed onto the consumer and this is going to hurt everyone. This blanket 25% drop across the board is just stupid. Would have been better to say that if a country like China is putting a 25% tariff on US auto's imported into China and we are only putting a 2.5% tariff on Chinese auto's imported into the US we match each country tariff for tariff. Honor the open treaty's we have but be a surgeon with a scalpel rather than a bully with a baseball bat. Approach industry to industry not just blanket country apply a tariff on the whole thing.

Ford to renovate Detroit train station

Pictures show they have lots of brick / cement work to be done to get it back to its former glory. -
Ford to renovate Detroit train station
G. David Felt replied to regfootball's topic in Industry News
If they can revitalize the building as it is sound and keep the character as updating it to modern code and allowing folks to live above while shopping below and commute into their job. Great, sadly there are just as many old building that are in too poor of shape and do not justify spending the money to save. Modern buildings tend to go two ways, one is the glass boring lazy way and others are incorporating style and architecture into the building. Here is an example of a modern new building in Seattle that is apartments, commercial office space and retail on the bottom 3 floors. I think it is a nice looking building. Here is our Seattle City Library Building. Mostly glass but very unique in its style. Then you have the New F5 Building that is done externally but they are building it out internally. F5 network company will have it as their new Headquarters when they move in next year in spring 2019. It is just ok looking to me. Course then you have the new Amazon Headquarters building that is going up and very different next to the Bank of America Pedestal building. While interesting in it's design, it is another glass building I think. I do like the Amazon park building they just finished here. I believe Glass is such a popular option to allow maximum natural light in and to give people even in a small space the feeling that it is much bigger than it really is. Found a current image of the train station with the new windows. I can totally see this being a large apartment complex with retail on the ground floor and then the land around it as a park like area for the residents. I hope Ford lets us know soon what they are doing. Should be cool. -

Ford to renovate Detroit train station
G. David Felt replied to regfootball's topic in Industry News
That is my feeling too that while the building has some great classic lines, I question just how much it will cost to clean the site up, then bring it up to code and is it in an area that can actually drive business? Will it be apartments, retail, what? What is in the surrounding area that could benefit from this becoming an updated building? The area seems to be a dead area and sometimes you have to make the tough choices to put it in the history books and clean up the land for new uses, parks, modern business building, etc. -

My family has the following colors: Escalade ESV Platinum is White Diamond. Was the only one available when I went to buy. So no choice. Trailblazer SS AWD is Garnet Red, CPO so was limited on choices, other two on the lot was a silver one and black one. Took the Red one. GMC Suburban SLE - Teal color, bought new, picked that color and love it. 99 Durango Silver, was CPO so no other choices at the time I bought it. Grand Cherokee, Rhino color, bought new. I take the Ford mantra in the opposite, I want my auto in any color other than Black or White! -
BEST SOLUTION EVER! https://jalopnik.com/dominos-is-fixing-americas-crappy-roads-for-pizza-safet-1826736405 If dominos can do this and cities are willing to let them patch and tag it for advertising. I say open up the roads to other companies to pay for patching and tagging.

I want to play this, Indianapolis 500 in Mario Kart 8. I love this, it would be a fun 4hr play time with lots of Pizza, bananas and everything else that would be fun. http://www.thedrive.com/video/21077/we-recreated-the-indianapolis-500-in-mario-kart-8-and-simon-pagenaud-approved

ouch 4 days before the reveal of the new BMW 8 series, a BMW engineer giving his girlfriends mom a ride in the prototype crashes and she dies. Sad. http://www.thedrive.com/news/21451/passenger-killed-after-bmw-8-series-prototype-crashes-in-germany-days-before-official-debut Another reason Unions need to change and stop protecting long term employees that have criminal records. This guy should have been fired for his driving while drunk, instead due to seniority, after his assault and DUI in 2016 he gets to keep his job and assault people again 2 years later. http://www.thedrive.com/news/21443/brooklyn-garbage-truck-driver-totals-at-least-9-cars-while-drunk

Seems to be getting uglier, Mercedes-benz has One Million Diesel auto's of Euro Spec 6 the latest Diesel emission regulation that have cheating software on them and now it seems Audi's leadership is clearly being investigated for Deceptive marketing and selling of Cheat enabled Diesel auto's. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/06/11/audi-ceo-suspect-german-diesel-emissions/ This is going to truly kill off Personal Diesel auto's I think. I honestly do not see Diesel surviving except in Trucks / SUVs that are used to haul trailers. The cost has been negated by superior petro engines.

R34 is a lovely Skyline as well: R33 was a nice version too have to say that while the 72 & 73 are very nice, or what is known as R30 and R31. The R33 was nice but too rounded for me and the R34 just nails it with the right angles and roundness. Then the R35 is just R32 and R35 are my least favorite Skylines with the R35 being the ugliest.

Would be awesome to find an old one and restore it or even make it a pure AWD EV powertrain. I have seen some of these that have had a modern Skyline powertrain put into them. We need to get auto's back to having some individual style. Right now like @balthazar has stated we have a very stale stable of auto design right now.

I agree, I really like the solid black rim. Wish they would do a Black Chrome as well as a Matte Black Powder coated rim. I think both of those have been under utilized. -
One Auto I always wanted to own and thought looked great was the 2 door Yukon GT. I think GM needs to bring it back.
-
How about a 2 door Escalade. I like this. Guess others were thinking along the same line according to New Auto Car Preview.

Two colors I am so tired of, why not have a rich Burgundy, Deep Forest Green or if they want to go on the wild side give us a 60's era Candy apple red or green. This is a special package, give it some special colors not just more of the lemming Black or White.
