    Still a Failure in my book as they did not clearly beat the Americans.
  2. G. David Felt
    Totally understandable, but if I was an executive, I would double down with keeping some capacity in the states as eventually gas prices will rise.
  3. G. David Felt
    Doubt it, not sure why or how this got through in development, but this is a pig no matter how you look at it. FAILURE!!!

    Me too. The forum login window is just blank on my end but I haven't been sweating it since I frequent there less and less these days. Just Another reason to not bother going there. Really you have us here so why bother with them? Interesting now that the Muslim Radicals have made such a huge kill, the Muslims are now speaking out against the radicals.

    Interesting, from the back it screams station wagon and from the front I get Ford Edge from the body flow. The front grill says Double Kidney BMW. Nice and interesting.

    http://www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/fiat-500-powerful-enough-hills-says-bbcs-watchdog-1107954951 Buyers of Fiat's new 500 with the 1.2L engine designed to meet the Euro Spec 6 emission laws say the car cannot even start on a hill let alone even get up hills. People feel unsafe in the auto. To Quote the story: “Fiat says this subtle difference might take some drivers a while to get used to. In other words, the reason all the owners we’ve spoken to can’t get up hills, is because they’re not good enough drivers. Fiat, by the way, says nothing about how you’re supposed to drive the manual 1.2.” Interesting to see they used one of the Top Gear drivers who even failed to get the manual fiats up a hill. Pretty interesting. Watch the video.

    We'll I have to say I have not heard of some of these but there is some very interesting body designs. Check it out and sound off on what you find interesting! http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-passenger/50-supercars-you%E2%80%99ve-probably-never-heard-of/ss-BBlRh0B?ocid=UP94DHP Never knew Yamaha made a supercar. Have to say that the Panoz Abruzzi does look interesting. Have to say I like the looks of the Trident Iceni Magna even though it does have a serious MB style to it. Devon GTX is pretty hot.

    We have heard this from other auto companies and now GM, I have to say that the more I think about this and to read that China is now considering an Emissions agency, the world really does need a single standard.

    Not sure the diesel will help them that much, people do not see Nissan as a truck that can handle commercial jobs let alone consumer jobs as to why they only sold 12,500 and have plenty of old Titans on the lots. Dead Product line that should have been killed off. This seems to be more of a pet project of an executive who is trying to justify his job and those below him for having done not much over the last few years. Nothing special or great about the Nissan truck line. Would have been better for them to invest in their auto and cuv lines with the money.

    NGO's???????? Not sure what it stands for but I thought this came out by the universities that were trying to figure out how VW diesels did not need to use the same emission controls that everyone else is using?

    I totally get this thread, Just got back from a friends wedding in NH and took an extra week to drive the NorthEast, New Hampshire, Main, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Road Island. I was able to get a Brand New 2015 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4. So going to write up a editorial on my 7 days in that ride. Some impressive points but also some opportunities to improve. I agree that with all the technology, it might be hard for some to consider it an escape yet with that same technology one gets to explore areas they have never been in in an efficient manner. Rock on to those of us that still understand how an auto is an Escape Machine.

    Biggest problem with FCA is their Unionized BS agreements that makes them think they have to keep their mass production going as well as keep stupid Italian lines alive. They are going down the Bankrupt road and will hit it soon.

    Cost of auto's has changed who has them and people who do buy auto's wants an easy access for more than 2 people. Very limited market for 2 door auto's anymore other than the diminishing eco box area and the ubber rich 2 door performance machines. Most people want performance with hauling people as to why we see 4 door sedans and CUV/SUVs that can burn rubber.
  14. G. David Felt
    Going to get much worse before it gets better. Plan on VW, Audi and Porsche to have money loosing quarters ahead.
  15. G. David Felt
    So unlike Tesla, they plan to have an EV auto with a generator much like the Volt. To bad they did not reach out to GM in regards to their VOLT Powertrain to use.
  16. G. David Felt
    Wow, So Honda is so short on Inspiration that they have to copy the Butt Ugly air scopes from the Toyota Hydrogen car?
  17. G. David Felt
    That is classic!
  18. G. David Felt
    Still early as the more they dig into this the more products will be halted till they are corrected. I expect this to end up costing the VW empire double the 6.7 billion they set aside and could go even higher by the time legal fines are done.

    So you move your goal posts again and use the V8 as a reason to say MB appliances are better yet in so many posts everyone including you have stated that many will not know or care what is under the hood. So if a Turbo 4 banger can give you everything the V8 has with better MPG and Emissions then why bother with V8? If you have been in a Tesla you know that electric can give you the same crazy feel and more than a V8 with better cleaner emissions so this complete V8 needs to be in everything is a false front and holds no water.

    So came across this since the thread on forgotten autos and I posted one site that covered top auto's. This one is about auto's that consumers avoid and it shows in their sales. Pretty interesting These top 9: http://www.cheatsheet.com/automobiles/9-automobiles-consumers-avoid-like-the-plague.html/ Acura ZDX Mitubishi i MiEV Volvo C30 Hyundia Veracruz Nissan Cube VW Eos Land Rover LR2 Lincoln MKT Subaru Tribeca

    wow, 480,000 + year to date. I bet Mazda and others had these numbers. Wonder if GM wish they still owned them? Surprised SMK has not trolled in about his MB being better than Subie!
  22. G. David Felt
    So is that a RAM Pornmaster?
  23. G. David Felt
    Welcome Buick, Acura, Lincoln, Lexus, Infinity competitor. I expect them to eat some of these brands lunch.
  24. G. David Felt
    So true and yet then you have the Wheel Scene web site has the 12 best classic cars and funny that one of the cars is on their list that showed up on this list as worst. http://wheelscene.com/12-best-classic-cars/?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=WS-ClassicCars-Desk&utm_term=msn-msn They start their best list off with the Porsche 914 followed by the rest listed below: 12th place - 1975 Porsche 914 11th place - 1970 MG MGB 10th place - 1964 Ford Thunderbird 9th place - 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan 8th place - 1966 Ford Country Squire 7th place - 1970 Ford Mustang Mach I 428 Cobra Jet 6th place - 1970 Datsun 240Z 5th place - 1963 Studebaker Avanti 4th place - 1955 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe 3rd place - 1970 Triumph TR6 2nd place - 1970 Pontiac GTO 1st place - 1958 Buick Limited Convertible The pictures are lovely of the various auto's, but considering how many worst and best car list are being done, I have to think this is a slow news week.

    So like always you move your field goal lines to meet your self adjusted vision of MB is perfect, they can do no wrong and never have compared to the rest of the world.
