  1. Sorry Drew, @ccap41 was right about the side ratio, I mixed my numbers, first is the width of the tire, second number the sidewall ratio, so the 75 is higher than the 70. In respect the lower profile tire, or the 70 would transmit more road noise. Long road trips, you might like the quieter 75 tire.
  2. @Drew Dowdell The 75 is a wider tire than the 70, if this is for the Olds, then it would not matter as you are not performance driving where the wider tire would help. Quietness on the road is a true personal experience and as such, not sure which one would be best as they are all solid tires, Review the customer posts for road noise. That is what I would do and decide on that feedback. Amazing times we live in when you see pretty much no cars and only CUV/SUVs in the parking lots. Also tells you the current state of cars in comparison to CUV/SUVs.
  3. So True, never has really created and grew anything, more of stir the pot, fuck things up and then leave once he can convince someone to pay him more for doing minimal. Yes, but unlike the beloved Mary Poppins, she actually made long lasting change that was a success. JDN is a failure of minimal success.
  4. BMW has not stayed there, 2 series is the old 3 series as they pushed every model up. Hell the current 3/4 series is what the old 5 series used to be. Even MB has pushed the size and features up on their models so that lower models are now what the upper older versions used to be.
  5. Wonder if it was an Estate Sale auto that some old person kept in their garage and drove like once a month to the store and back.
  6. YES, YES, YES About DAMN TIME! Hopefully we will see a much faster change of new products getting out to the dealers. I honestly see NO REASON for Cadillac in NY. You could have the HQ of Cadillac almost anywhere and still have it grow and get back to the true luxury automaker it was.
  7. If Lincoln can make the current continental have Suicide doors, I see no reason that Buick cannot do it.
  8. Saw a Brand New Terrain today on the way into work. Not sure I like the body style seeing it for real compared to the pictures. Could be the color of the CUV, but something just looked off and this is to also say that it blended to much with the Honda CR-V next to it. ?
  9. @balthazar @Cubical-aka-Moltar @oldshurst442 Check out this full video on the Enspire, the doors are Suicide doors and the interior is really cool. Love the grill and Love it in White. Clearly very cool CUVs. Way more details on this Chinese Video on the CUV EV Concepts. This Video has me even more Jazzed about the EV CUV. I also would like to request the lady to come with my Enspire!
  10. Based on my Brother in law who works in propulsion at Boeing, the safest place to sit is on the wings as an engine explosion always will hit the back 1/3rd of the plane.
  11. BMW has Color and Mercedes-benz used to have a blue, black and red version of their logo. So why is color bad for VW when they also used to have a blue, black or red version depending on which auto you bought. From their R-Line Blue or black background was very common for a long time on all the rest of the auto's other than the R-Line.
  12. Sounds like the M2 is now what the M3 used to be as an economical power house auto that people liked. M3 / M4 have gotten stupid crazy in price.
  13. Do not forget the awesome multi colored Cadillac Badge!
  14. Wow, even a video talking about crazy tech stuff.
  15. ???? Correcting you as you missed 3 models of Tesla!
  16. If they don't this could be the start of a slow death. Sales are already showing that due to Dieselgate!
  17. I had a number of Die Hard Subaru coworkers that said Gen 2.0 of this car will be called the Revoltis! Yup, Toyota bought GM's ownership shares of Subaru at Bankruptcy or it was just before. This is why they use so much of Toyota now in their cars.
  18. Probably on sale around the same date if not sooner than the AMG EV. This is being built on the BOLT Powertrain / platform. China Auto show I suspect will show many near production ready versions of EV for the China market first and then Globally. Bolt already can be built with a more powerful motor and LG has the battery pack that would support the miles stated here already. Interesting times we live in as we move into a more EV market. Your exploding orgasmically inside but just not willing to show anyone. I know the truth!
  19. Wrong Wrong Wrong again, as I stated, UNOFFICIAL LAP TIMES! ESTIMATES of Lap Time. Right now Porsche and Chevrolet are dialing in the auto's. Taking a built car and then first run on the track always is higher than a dialed in car with an official lap run. Even the story title says UNOFFICIAL! I am sure your AMG Project One will do low Six until the AWD Corvette EV comes in and SPANKS IT! Yup the records will fall with this until the AWD EV Corvette comes out, then again AMG will FALL!
  20. Ya know they had to do something being late to the party and since Toyota owns them, it only makes sense to reduce costs by putting the Prius powertrain into a Subaru. With Subaru's Global One Platform that all auto's they make and sell are moved onto, they will be having to beef up the Prius Powertrain to make it work but should have a solid product.
  21. Japan is the only country globally that has approved cameras for side mirrors that would just show everything on a large LCD screen inside. So real Mirrors will be there, otherwise I can see just about everything else making it.
  22. http://carsalesbase.com/china-car-sales-analysis-2017-brands/ Have to say this site is great for looking at the numbers. Will say that Buick slipped from #2 in 2016 to #4. Check out the list for the full 77 auto manufactures in China. WOW 77 auto companies. ? Sales pecking order is as follows: VW top dog Honda Geely Buick Toyota Nissan Changan Baojun Haval Ford Hyundai Dongfeng Chevrolet BAIC Audi Wuling GAC Chery Mercedes-Benz BYD SAIC Roewe BMW KIA Skoda Mazda Zotye Huansu Peugeot JAC Jeep FAW Cadillac
  23. New modern logo that is not Bland, Generic German is a Good thing. New Marketing that actually is regional focused, what a concept! ? One would have thought they would have clued into this 20 years ago when they were so bland. VW could have done so much more in the US but has always been a wallflower. Time for a 21st century makeover!
  24. Starting this thread to post weird tech news. Have to say that with all the news on security issues, one would think twice about buying stuff without knowing if it is secure or not, but nope, seems we have a whole new wave of tech toys that are as secure as one slurping ice cream at the store without paying for it yet. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/this-iot-dildo-has-an-embedded-wifi-streaming-camera-and-laughable-security/ Who would have thought, but we now have WiFi streaming cameras with LED lights on Dildo's with Laughable security. WOW ?
