Industry News: Most Electric Cars Sold in the U.S. Are Leased
Wrong, EV leasing offers all auto companies a way to off set profits which in the end means having to pay the tax man. Much value to the bottom line. In regards to Effortlessly be kept in service, stop dreaming silly, Petro auto's often cause hours of wrench time to repair and keep running.

Detroit Preview: Mercedes-Benz Spills Some Details On 2019 G-Class Off-Road Ability: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)After looking at the Autocar story, clearly hinges are still exposed, zooming into the pictures, you can see the external screws that are on the existing on sale version are gone. Internal is the biggest update as the external is just a refresh to me. Is it worth 6 figures? Yes to some, no to others. price wise it exceeds Escalade which does tell me Cadillac needs a V Sport and V edition of the Escalade. Off road capability, no, leave it to have an equal off road version in GMC as a Yukon Denali, Hummer like edition. Will have to see in person if this would be of internal space to me to be in any consideration. External, is does nothing for me, just an overpriced bread box still.

Detroit Preview: Infiniti Names Their Concept the Q Inspiration: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Have to say that while I am so done with the Coupe style of a 4 door car, this is very sleek and sexy looking. I really like what I am seeing and look forward to more pictures of the new Infiniti design language.

December 2017: Mercedes-Benz USA
OMG They need to slash car models right now, so many double digit negatives, They could save a ton on R&D by cutting the low sale models. Kill off the following and that would give them mega bucks for their EV line. Smart G-Class AMG GT SL SLC S-Class B-Class That would allow them to increase funding for the EV-Class. After all business sense would say, if you cannot at least sell 25,000 of a model per year, why bother.

Cheers and Jeers for 2017
2018 is an exciting year as we see what EV concepts are shown as well as the move by all companies to embrace more CUV / trucks as they reduce the car thing, so much excitement, so little time to enjoy it all.

December 2017: General Motors Co.
Based on all your post, that is where every auto company should be cause everyone wants a CUV or truck. Honestly, I would rather see it 60/40 between CUV & Trucks / Cars. Still good for GM to have the products consumers want. One has to hope that when the and if the change comes back to majority cars, that GM responds fast. Will be interesting to see what changes if any come to the Bolt.

Quick Drive: 2017 Cadillac ATS Coupe 2.0T Luxury
I think at this point they are investing all their money into the coupe only and the new CT version since that is what they seem to imply will be the future.

Saw a New NV2000 Nissan van that had already been hit in the back. Pathetic as it did not even have it's license plate yet, only the temp paper one in the rear window.

Ram News: Spying: 2019 Ram 1500's Face Peeks Out
I have to say I have mixed feeling about the new front end as I think they took away the love it or hate it look for a more streamlined aerodynamic gas saving look. Almost jelly bean style that I really do not like. I see autoblog has a video of someone using magnets on the sides, hood, etc. No magnetism at all so they either have gone fully aluminum on the bed, body panels, hood, doors, etc. or some form of carbon fiber as there seems to be no steel in that 2019 truck. Gonna be interesting to see what they show off and reveal about the powertrain at the Detroit show.

Auto Gauges, Manual, Digital, Are They Even Needed?
Auto Gauges, Manual, Digital, Are They Even Needed? Ran into a debate that was in multiple forums and even on Jalopnik that had editors and forum members debating the need of Auto Gauges and the type. Manual, Digital, Monitor screen, touch, etc. As such, what are your thoughts on the type of dash info you feel 21st century auto's should have?
