  1. Very true, if the modules can withstand the extreme heat / torture of the engine, then the tun-ability would allow amazing things to happen.
  2. That is very cool, but I wonder what the life would be on these electronic valves? Could you go hundreds of thousands of miles like you can on a traditional chain driven pushrod engine?
  3. I wonder if it was installed from the inside, pull the head liners out and the trim around the back dash. Would be cool to really know if you go from outside or inside. Suck if you have to peel that top. Also as Drew pointed out, side defrosters, very cool but suck if oneof the lines broke.
  4. Electric defrost on the sides too! Love the cyclop lights that are just at the base of this cool window. I always loved the 4 eye brake light look.
  5. NOt good, FCA is going to hurt big time with this.
  6. Great write up, I too wonder about the 6 sp and why not an 8sp tranny.
  7. Totally agree with you, love my sons black Patriot Trail rated CUV, have come to hate the CVT Tranny. Worst part of the whole auto.
  8. The days of glass like this are over due to roll over and roof crushing test to pass. Over all love the auto, beautiful, I agree, wonder how they replace the glass when it needs to be done.
  9. This totally rocks I love the 3rd generation of this CUV.
  10. Agree, the used VOLTs are AWESOME DEALS.
  11. It does have auto close. You don't need to slam the door, you just pull it into position and the car pulls the door in for you. Great, so more electronics to fail and jack up the price of repairs. Seems that auto's truly will become disposable consumption, drive 100K and recycle. These door handles will be a nightmare. Catch onto everything and break off causing more damage to the over all door is how I see it and I bet FORD makes a statement to NOT go through car washes as the door handles can get caught on the brushes and get damaged. Not a fan of the door handles. FAILURE in my opinion.
  12. Thanks Drew for the update, glad to hear your OK. Take a rest and recharge. Thank you for all you have done during the auto show. Take some well deserved RnR.
  13. As long as its solid axle, there will never be " much more independent suspension at each wheel. " And that goes for the Ram 1500 coil over suspended solid axel too. Disagree, the Trucks that are raced at the various Bahaa races use independent suspension. After all this is a Raptor, not a work hauling truck. I get where leaf springs and everything solid makes sense but I question them not fully supporting the inspiration for this truck. A real racing truck.
  14. http://www.autoblog.com/2016/01/12/jeep-pickup-confirmed-report/ Autoblog is quoting the JEEP CEO as confirming that in 2017 you will be able to buy a Wrangler based Jeep Pickup Truck and it will be produced at the Toledo plant.
  15. WOW, I would never buy anything but American but I have to give props to the Marketing team at Nissan, That commercial Rocks.
  16. -1 on your comments as I have to totally disagree. I loved the first generation and second of the Acadia,but always thought is was a weird child that did not really fit in with the rest. Yes some loved the weirdness and might not stay with the third generation but this auto is sexy in a professional way and I believe continue to do well for GMC. I myself think the inside and outside is an outstanding change for the model and will bring in more people to the fold.
  17. Pontiac is dead, so lets leave that in the history books. The Avista is a luxury step up for those wanting more than the Camaro offers. I can totally see a luxury version of the Camero in the Buick Lineup as well as the Avenir as their modern take on a Park Avenue but 21st century sexiness.
  18. Nice looking truck, I question the long life of the twin turbo V6. Leaf springs on the back still? One would think they would have gone to a much more independent suspension at each wheel.
  19. Balthazar, I would also look at the Trailblazer EXT or Chevrolet Ventura. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/Used+Cars/Chevrolet/TrailBlazer+EXT/Mountlake+Terrace+WA-98043?endYear=2017&firstRecord=0&listingType=used&listingTypes=used,certified&makeCode1=CHEV&maxMileage=100000&mmt=%5BCHEV%5BTRAILBZEXT%5B%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D&modelCode1=TRAILBZEXT&searchRadius=0&showcaseListingId=419275867&showcaseOwnerId=563264&sortBy=derivedpriceASC&startYear=1981&Log=0 Amazing how many deals can be found on Trailblazer EXT with less than 100K miles all under 8K cost.
  20. Disagree with you. The new Acadia is very sharp looking and I think they adjusted it to fit into the proper mid size segment. Plus with all the new technology and the ways to loose weight while giving more room inside, I do not think this will hurt sales of the Acadia. Really sharp looking ride.
  21. Love this, and I do not think the shrinking in size will hurt GM or the sales of the Acadia. This is a lovely looking CUV!
  22. So here is a side by side comparison of the same shot. Concept in Blue and production in White. Can the color really make that big of a difference? I will say that the subtle changes like where the hood opens up makes a noticeable difference and I do NOT like the door handles on the production unit.
  23. Love the interior, the exterior just leaves me wanting. Not sure what it is about this or maybe it is the white paint but I am left wanting.
  24. While looking clean, the cost to buy replacement parts as things fail will negate the low cost of the station wagon.
  25. AWD Truck is interesting, I do not think anyone else has ever offered a truck with AWD. Plenty of 4x4 but not AWD. Pathetic is the V6 engine. So much wasted horsepower with pathetic Torque. Over all not impressed with the looks or the rest of the truck for that matter. Continuation of Dull Bland Styling. WTF, Blah Truck and they get CAR OF THE YEAR? HONDA has failed on all fronts and the stupid press continues to think they are gods walking on water. I do not see this selling much at all except for an initial bump to the existing Ridgeline customers who want the same blah trucks.
