  2. Not sure just how many w body platforms are on the road compared to accord, but this story from 2014 where it stated Honda as saying over the past 30 years they had built and sold 10 million accords in North America and it is still to this day the #1 most stolen auto with no real reason other than they are easy to break into and steal for stripping on the aftermarket. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/honda-accord-stolen-vehicle/story?id=23883693 If someone would pay for an Experian report we could probably see just how many specific models are registered to see who has the most on the roads. This site would give us the answer, anyone have an extra $325.00 for the report? https://www.statista.com/study/11463/car-brands-statista-dossier/
  3. AGREE 10000% This would be a great way for them to re-image themselves as an industry leader and go pure EV for the product line.
  4. Agreed, that is an awesome model that I think will serve them well.
  5. Best Selling car? Would that not be all the variations of the GM W platform? After all if the guest who I suspect has been here before under another name believes that, then you have to really look at the platforms that have supported the cars that sell so well. I suspect GM's W platform would be right up there as some of the best if not the best.
  6. Knock off, cue Jeep Cherokee. Should do them well in sales. Thought I am not a fan of them coping Benze and the STUPID Floating nav screen. Give them Kudo's for a HUD, glad to see AWD option and that an EV version is coming.
  7. Not to mention an assault on all the atheist!
  8. Can they not make a car with some passion? Just blah me to death!
  9. Right now they need to focus on real products that compete and make money over racing and a Halo Car.
  10. Not fitting into either in reality, but like Balthazar, to have sitting and look at, I take the far better looking Gallardo.
  11. Very cool, Have to say that this Fiskar is way better looking than the Tesla 3!
  12. One Must question the way some mags seem to stick to a brand or two over and over no matter what the rest of the world seems to be saying.
  13. Thank you,
  14. We'll that is interesting, so Opel / Vauxhall will be sold to PSA and stay an ICE focused business and clearly the CEO sees EV as the future. PSA seems to want to pick up the ICE business, but I have to question the desire to ignore the EV future. I also now wonder if GM will be able to dump Opel / Vauxhall. The unions and the stupid laws of Europe could make this a business to just shut down and walk away from.
  15. Busy weekend, decisions, decisions, decisions. My wife and I have decided that playing on the water and in the sun is no longer an option for me. Friday, I was informed my skin cancer is back and on my back, so July 17th I go in for more surgery. With that said, I have unpacked from the winter slumber, cleaned and prepped our Yamaha Waverunners for selling to a new home. They are in excellent condition,matched pair. Listed on Boattrader: http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2003-yamaha-fx140-103079495 Hopefully they will find someone soon who is as much into playing as our family was.
  16. In a Pigs eye, as long as you are under 5'8" tall, want bland boring and simply overpriced yawn, then Honda is for you.
  17. Happy Anniversary! 29 years is a big deal in today's society.
  18. Truth, they have created ZERO faith in those that like their products due to the ignorance of FCA Leadership.
  19. Just got an email this morning from GM Performance. T56 Super Magnum Performance 6 Speed Manual Transmission. Designed to handle all of GM Performances most powerful crate motors such as the beast LSX454R. Showing off in the Following Chevelle Slammer to be on display this year around the country. Chevrolet Performance’s fleet will be led this year by their Chevelle “Slammer” that was unveiled at last year’s SEMA show. One word that jumps out at us when looking at this car is simply, clean. The black exterior matched with the red interior just works. Under the hood sits the a Chevrolet Performance LT376/535 crate engine(link is external). This engine was designed for use in race vehicles and builds on the LT family’s technologies and takes them to the next level, leveraging CNC-ported heads and the high-lift LT1 Hot Cam bringing 535 naturally aspirated horsepower. Oh, and this engine loves to rev as well, easily towards 6,800 rpm. If you’re on tour and are a fan of Chevelles, or just classic Chevys in general, you’ll want to swing by the Chevrolet Performance booth to peek at one well executed build ready for the “long haul.” T56 6 speed Manual Transmission designed to handle 700 lb-ft of torque. 2017 HOT ROD Power Tour Preview and Dates
  20. GM should do this with a Wrangler like product under the GMC label. It totally makes sense.
  21. Yes depending on the battery version you have in your Tesla S from 60 to 100 your looking at about 6000-10,000 cost of battery replacement according to the local Tesla store here.
