Honda News: Two Reasons As To Why the Civic Si Only Produces 205 HP
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Honda
As some one who is always blowing the MB horn and saying it has to have the most powerful engines in every class at every model. Your comment makes no sense for the first two sentences. Now the 3rd sentence is what you should have started off with. It makes sense to keep it priced where they have it for their customer base of which many will not be looking at the competition nor at the Horsepower. Yet for those that do, this car is a failure in the competition of this class. I get the feeling that Honda Marketing really does not research their competition very well nor cares too. It is as if they are happy with just their loyal car fans who will follow what ever weak attempt they make.- 35 replies

So very True! Time for some human pruning while sad, ya do have to clean up the DNA tree from time to time. We seem to have some very stupid peeps in society from the top down in this country and around the world.

Right! With the latest Fast and Furious, which I hope is the last. Good movie but I think the franchise has run it's course. I see lots of ricer fans buying these and plowing them into things due to stupid decisions.

I agree, as of right now there is NOTHING Lincoln or Infinity has that would excite me over Volvo. That could change once I see the new Navigator in person.

Yes very true as I was referring to how they SS'd all the 4 bangers and some 6 bangers that really did not show any performance creed. One Exception was the SS HHR Turbo that was a nice improvement over the rest of the HHR family. I also thought the cobalt had potential, just never realized to the ultimate of what an SS should have been. I would be happy to have this Impala SS to go with my TB SS.

Hyundai News:Hyundai Mostly Reveals Their New Subcompact Crossover
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Hyundai
Interesting how the front reminds me of the Cherokee / Juke and the back end of the MB small cuvs. -
Awesome ride, loved it in the Maroon color they had. The last of a decent SS before the whored it out on all the crappy SS on every line stuff they did.

VW News: Spying: This Is the Next Volkswagen Touareg, Not Tiguan
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
If they stay this close to the concept. Sadly VW is known to be a bit too conservative so just based on the actual covered up pics, I hold to my feelings on the auto.- 25 replies

VW News: Spying: This Is the Next Volkswagen Touareg, Not Tiguan
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
Yes, Yes I can, as it is bland and bland to me is Ugly! The photo's on the other site is enough to tell to my eyes that it is bland and as such ugly. You can clearly see how they have covered the corners of rear and front lights and side trim but over all very conservative in the style and just a jelly bean shape. I really do not see much of an improvement when they pull off the white tape to reveal the auto. It will sell, but I doubt it will be a run away success.- 25 replies

Sales: Sales Figure Ticker: May 2017
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Sales Figure Ticker
Are you sure? Ford + Lincoln = 241,126 sold GM = Chevy+GMC+Buick+Cadillac = 237,364 Yup Ford beat GM by 3,762 auto's. Interesting when you look at the rebates: FORD F150 has a $5,150 rebate and Expedition has $7,000 http://www.realcartips.com/ford-incentives/ GM Trucks has $3,500 on Chevy full size truck and only $500 on GMC full size truck, full size SUVs are $1,500 on both Suburban and Yukon. http://www.realcartips.com/gm-incentives/ End result is that the ATP is much higher on GM than Ford auto's. Amazing to see that other than the Fiesta that has Zero rebate, every auto Ford has is at least $2,000 plus or bigger to move metal. GM on the other hand has many that are below $1,000, either 500 or 750. Yes they do have some in the 4K range too. -
So is the A7, such terrible sales numbers.

OK, they just SUCK SUCK SUCK and the amount of viewing of these so called commercials are just pathetic. https://www.youtube.com/user/cadillac This is the Cadillac channel on YouTube and it is not impressive at all. The whole Willingness to Dare BLOWS! So far nothing is a dare from Cadillac.
-
I have not even seen those ads you mentioned. I saw they were spending money on multiple page ads in magazines focused at the 1% crowd. Not something most people will see and their online social media ads suck big time. Agree, not sure what the hell is going on with Cadillac advertising but I question just who made the choice in agencies and how they are being managed and rated on performance as right now it SUCKS!

Very true and I totally agree. The CTS is so understated in how good it is. Course it would help if they did a wee bit more marketing on their cars and showed some excitement of driving them to the world.

May 2017: Jaguar Land Rover U.S.
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Sales Figure Ticker
Very cool to see the F-Pace doing so well. I wish it was big enough to hold me and passengers. I am excited for them to get their EV version here. Anyone know if Land Rover is still using Ford engines or did they move to producing their own finally?- 2 replies

Drew stated in this thread: That the XTS was scheduled to still be built threw 2020 mainly for the Chinese market. I know and I think it was Drew also that had brought up or talked about the union contracts that would keep this in production, but I cannot find that thread. Or at least I think it was Drew who had brought that up.
-
Keep in mind that they have union contracts through I think it was 2020 when the XTS car is killed off. So they have to honor that little bit of work. Plus you have baby boomers that find the CTS much too hard of a car to rid in. My own baby boomer parents always tell me they see no reason for the CTS. Every time they get one as a loaner, they park it in their garage and drive their other Cadillac as the CTS is not a float mobile of the older cadillacs. Different expectations from a different life time. XTS has it's place and since there is very little R&D cost, it is a pure money maker for GM as it serves well the homeowners market as well as the private limo car business and funeral business. I do agree with you that I would like to see it retired to history and move the funeral and limo business to Escalades and CT6's.
