  1. Interesting, if they truly build it from the ground up, having a 90 kWh battery to be better than the competition is what they should do or at least start with a 70 but also offer a 90 and say 110 kWh battery options.
  2. Old warmed over auto. PASS The style is dated and dead on arrival. Dash reminds me of something out of the 80's. Overall nothing I would want Buick or Lincoln to emulate.
  3. WOW, talk about so conservative that it just says blah brick on wheels. They would have to give this to me if they wanted me to own it and drive it. Pass, total design failure.
  4. Fat V6, looks very tight and not easy to work on.
  5. This is a very blaw interior, nothing says luxury to me. Meh!
  6. Get a Gel Battery, they usually will last twice as long as normal batteries and after sitting for 90+ days still have 99% of charge. I use them in my Suburban that sits for half the year. Awesome and always start.
  7. Agree, that is a nice upgrade to the model to better fit in with the whole family. Sweet!
  8. This should take just minutes, hell FCA could just release it on their web site and allow people to flash their own trucks. I bet this is a stop by, wait and we flash it and you go on your way deal. Sad that they messed something so simple and out there for so long up like this.
  9. Sounds like people better get prepared for a slip in the actual building and delivery of the Tesla 3. I question if they actually build and ship 25K this year.
  10. Sounds like they are hiding a much bigger problem that could pretty much bankrupt them with no recovery. UGLY!
  11. Meh, cool in a small way, but so many other off road capable SUVs to consider. Guess if you're not a trail nut, and younger than 50 this will for sure sell well to those that can afford it.
  12. Exactly with a terrible history of garbage built autos out of Italy, questionable style, and Meh 4 banger performance. I see nothing to compel people to buy. Wasted billions on Alfa that should have just been left in the history books.
  13. Yawn old news, VW has for the most part put the nails in the Diesel coffin!
  14. Have to say that in person, the F-pace is a freaking lovely CUV. Sadly, it fails my Big American test. Even the Jaguar reps were shocked that with the seat all the way back, I just barely had leg room and I could not sit upright the way I like but had to recline the seat. Also only kids could sit behind me. over all lots of people loved it. The two big screen dash and pop up transmission dial selector was nice.
  15. Sadely base model autos of today do not have the room of my 1994 GMC SLE Suburban I bought new in 93. Plus was easier to upgrade brakes, powertrain and build it the way I like.
  16. @FAPTurbo WOW a little adolf mustache. Nothing like what I imagined you look like. interesting.
  17. True, but I have seen people buy them, ignor not replacing the airbags and just putting on new face plates and fix the Unibody and panels and it looks good but most of the modern required safety gear is disabled or gone. I get it that it can be a newer auto and cheap but also you take a big risk.
  18. China has GM by the balls as requiring build amounts in home and requiring certain other models to satisfy the ability to sell there. No open market unlike how the US always did.
  19. Such stupid executive decisions. Clearly the 8 Series is some idiot executives pet project due to past delusions.
  20. Plus with China and the European Union demonizing it and pushing EV's and very clean standards, auto companies are going to have to adjust. Diesel has a use and purpose, but in most comon private auto's the day is coming to a close.
  21. All this week I will be at our Dell EMC World 2017 Tradeshow, last two days settings up. This year we have some auto's at the show. BMW has a booth all about Technology and their showcase piece is the BMW i8. Jaguar has a booth this year, they have the iConcept EV which was not unloaded yet and the F-pace awd. Final is the bad ass truck from Alienware that features their VM setups.
  22. So True, we are in Sync, now if we can just keep saying this so GM takes notice and does it!
  23. Price does entice, but then VW has a loyal fan base. This will be a Hiccup for sales of fixed TDIs but I doubt we will see it stay after these discounted units are gone.
