    Over all the forum topics are fine, what I am not a fan of is this whole timeline thing that my kids say is a take on Facebook, which I HATE with a passion. I see no value from a business standpoint nor any value from a personal standpoint on the terrible FACEBOOK product. Have no account there and never will. You want to share pictures with family keep them updated, plenty of superior products based on the cloud that allows you to share and keep informed without all the crap of Facebook or giving them ownership of your postings and dealing with their ad's. I invite everyone to post screen captures of what they do not like so Drew can then respond and let us know if he can tweak anything. The timeline is just I liked the old listing of stories / postings that was much cleaner and easier to read and find. Now I have to scroll down a huge time line that is just not that great on top of being overly busy to the eye's. Any chance of returning that part to a better listing? I just do not get the time line thing, it is not efficient to me. The old listing always listed the current stuff from top down, so why do we need to know if something was posted in the last hour, day, week, month? Plus there sure is a ton of wasted space on the right even when in the stories, I have that big white area.

    GM screwed themselves in the Hybrid of full size SUVs as they gave into oil companies rather than price it as a loss leader to begin to get more sold and get quantity built up to generate long term profits. Those that have the Hybrid Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade love them and how quiet they are. GM was wrong in their approach of marketing and pushing these rides and only looking at it as a compliance ride. I think at the proper price point a hybrid or EV truck can sell just fine.

    Born and raised on Stevens Pass Washington. Lived just about in every state west of the Mississippi river and back in washington since 1995. Love it here and the greater Seattle area. Parents born and raised in the Greater LA area, ton's of relatives in MIssouri and a ton of relatives in Germany since both sides are from there originally going back to the 1800's when groups of family started to imigrate to America.

    FCA just turns my stomach for how they have destroyed the overall american labels.
  6. G. David Felt
    cool, that should help in the sales department.

    HyperTube, the ultimate stage left move to distract peeps!

    He still averages in the high 20's, he just got back from a trip with his girlfriend. A week all over the coast of Oregon and then into the mountains around there but on the beach with his jeep and on lumber roads and other places and he over all for the whole trip averaged 27 mpg. He is approaching 100K miles and I have to say pretty impressed with the jeep. At 6'6" tall I am more than comfy in the jeep for long trips.

    LOL @ Borg, the Apple Master Race!

    Nice quote for the XP and older generation. So True!

    Patriots Rock no matter how much Consumer Reports say they are junk. My son still has his 2012 and for the most part it has been very stable and it gets well used both on road and off. He has the Off Road Trail Rated package on his mid level Patriot. Never got stuck going off road or up the mountain to ski. Great auto's especially for the price.

    Awesome Ride That is a hot car for sure!

    Very cool to see, I wonder how much their new models coming out in Q4 will affect sales?
  14. G. David Felt
    So wonder how much of this was made up before reports come out about presales and the need to roll the sales back.

    @William Maley Thanks for that update, bummer, I was hoping for a modern take to replace the old one.

    Trailblazer? Can we get a new SS AWD Model please?
  17. G. David Felt
    Appreciate the expanded options, but for me those auto's I just do not find attractive. The Aston Martin on the other hand is all kinds of sexy!
  18. G. David Felt
    Cool, Thanks for expanding on your Lease explanation.

    So there is this web site that covers 25 cars inspired by airplanes in the US. Talk about some lovely rides and concepts. http://www.complex.com/sports/2013/05/25-cars-inspired-by-airplanes-and-fighter-jets/ But are you thinking about the Mustang fighter that inspired the Mustang car?

    Coupes Suck, they are so anti big guys. Since Cadillac no longer builds any 2 door coupes, my next choice would be to squeeze myself into the Aston Martin Vantage. I do agree with Olds, no price max, then the DB11

    Tesla S P100D is $158,200 before federal $7,500 reduction ending at $150,500 so price is there, but coupe can be 4 door or 2 door so how does this not meet what you have stated. You did not state traditional 2 door coupe only. Remember everyone seems to be on the stupid coupe design for every auto now, even CUV's like the butt ugly BMW X6.
  22. G. David Felt
    Tesla P100D please.

    Actually that is only as long as you stay within the contract of 12K or 15K miles. Otherwise, the cost is incredibly expensive. Example is if I leased my Escalade for 15,000 miles, I would have had to pay an extra $3750 per year as during the first 4 years I averaged 30,000 miles a year driving. So the first 15,000 would have been covered under the lease at $1099.00 per month on the 15K year deal for 36 months. But then I would have had to pay up another $11,250 at the end of the lease and go into another lease. At least my escalade I own and now that I do not drive it that much, since it is a 2006, 10 years later, it is now considered low mileage as I only use it for personal long distance road trips. So about 10K a year and it is paid for but I have total comfort and luxury for my road trips. End result is Leasing works for the Right Use Case.

    VW going cheap and mass market is a failure waiting to happen. Product that drives passion is what they need. Their current product line is bland, boring and overall Meh, forgettable. That is the real problem, not pricing and mass quantity. This plan is a failure in the making.

    OK, Had to go find this and sure enough on their Forum about Ludicrous mode they do chat about battery hit. If I am reading the forum right, each 0-60 Ludicrous mode run take 13% of the battery. https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/ludicrous-mode-there-more-room-improve-acceleration So that means you get 7 runs at 0-60 before you have 9% battery left to limp over to the Supercharger and recharge. Also found this how the Tesla stands up against the other supercars in price and performance. Pretty Sweet, great Bang for the Buck! Just realized that BMW made it on the list but not MB. Guess the AMG label is not able to break 4 seconds in a 0-60 run in a 4 door sedan.
