Nice looking update, but it does remind me of the 300 now. Copy one of the best selling full size sedans?

I know lots of people love their Saturn, but I have to say any auto with a center mounted dash is a deal breaker for me. I like it right in front of me. These types of dashes scream cheap to me by the auto company. Over all looks clean but I would rather have the Beretta and fix it up with the money your dad is willing to spend.

LA Auto Show: Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in LA Auto Show
No as Dodge Viper has 645HP 600 lbs of torque. For the Ram Trucks they go with 450 lbs of torque and 310HP. I think it really boils down to the cam they use, the programming, yet with that said, I have never understood the Lambo and Ferrari with all the HP and little itty bitty torque. One consistent issue with DOHC Engines is their HP is great but they seem for the most part to be Torque limited. GM is one of the few builders where they do seem to get far more Torque out of their OHVC design engines than most but people complain when it has all the torque to get you moving and enough HP to sustain that movement but not a race car level of HP with a 9K red line or some crazy high RPM figure.- 3 replies

Nice CUV in many ways, but I am not a fan of the rear or the huge blind spots that seem to be coming common on these types of auto's.

Ok then you could have a possible oil pump dying, not uncommon in the Berretta, more time than work to replace it. Also I would think your starter is shorting out and dying as they will drain the battery when they start to go. Since this is not multiple little electrical things in the car, then these are pretty easy to fix, even a complete exhaust with cat is not that much. If you do not have the time, you could still have them all done at a reliable 3rd party shop much cheaper than spending 7K on a new used auto with it's own issues.

Got this email today from GM Fleet sales talking up their new 2016 lineup for fleet / government sales. 48MPG Chevy Malibu Hybrid, 40MPG Cruze and the 1000 miles between fill-ups VOLT. Course they also talk about the rest of the chevy family but some interesting marketing on their top 3 auto's that fleets should be buying.

LA Auto Show: 2017 Ford Escape: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in LA Auto Show
That is too funny, sorry for the multiple reads, but to me the bump over the Nav system reminds me of teens and zits. Just ugly dash design. -
Yup, I can understand that the Electrical can be a PIA, but consider how cheap it is to buy new harnesses and then it is the labor of putting it in, but you could verywell end up loving the car all over due to being solid and dependable if the rest of the powertrain is solid. How many miles are on the car? What specific electrical issues have shown up?

LA Auto Show: Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in LA Auto Show
Front on view and 3/4 view is traditional Lambo, Rear end also but just blah. Over all I have always liked the tight low swept looks of Lambo's. The big disappointment is the Engine as always, Ton of HP, Little Bitty Torque. Have to rev the hell out of it just to get it moving and then there are better cars out there for less money than this. They really need to start from Scratch on their style and especially engines.- 3 replies

LA Auto Show: 2016 Honda Civic Coupe: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in LA Auto Show
Wow, talk about a short stubby ugly car. Has the Hideous buck tooth grill of Acura, Pinched butt for a rear end and the interior is the continuation of spartan minimalist with just bland dash, colors and looks cheap. I just do not get the designers at Honda let alone Acura.- 6 replies

Would it not be worthwhile if he likes the existing car to fix it up so all the nagging little things that are wearing out are solid for his last few years? At least this way you know what the current state of the auto is in and can then fix the issues that need attention.

wow, very cool, I hope Chevy Plays this up!

LA Auto Show: 2017 Ford Escape: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in LA Auto Show
Looking better on the outside, the interior is nice but what is the Pimple in the center of the dash over the NAV? A DVD or CD Player? Just does not flow nicely. -
I figure VW, Audi and Porsche will all have their own separate meetings and then eventually a huge settlement will happen. I expect this to cost these companies up to 10 Billion in Fines plus the cost of fixing the autos here in the US.

CT6 Build & Price: Configurator is Up
G. David Felt replied to Cmicasa the Great's topic in Cadillac
My CT6 came in at $90,040 dollars with the AWD TTV6 engine as a platinum package. My ESV Platinum Escalade in Majestic Plum Metallic comes in at $100,691. Lovely, simply lovely. -

So I got my monthly newsletter all about the Latest batch of Updates and I have to say it was very underwhelming and mostly marketing rehash of stuff they already have stated before. Why can they not really deliver something new?
-
Spur of the moment? Anyways I imagined that statement with RAM truck commercial voiceover dude's voice. Guts. Glory. Testicular Fortitude. RAAAAMMMM Then I imagined Jeep Grand Cherokee ad music. The one they played during the "What we make Makes us Commerical" Oddly befitting. Let's not forget the best one yet! Built like a Rock! Solid as a Rock!, Hard as a Rock!

Clearly not much electronic wise any more. The US has become and engineering country and an incubator for start ups but otherwise we have lost the lower middle class jobs to cheaper labor elsewhere. One reason I pay a bit more for my floor mats. WeatherTech http://www.weathertech.com/products/?utm_source=BingAds&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=FloorMats-Gen Quality product and made in america, I respect this company for closing down their overseas plants and bringing the production back home.
