Yea another FORD Failure, they just do not get it and my gut tells me FORD will be looking long term at a market decline over the next few years due to the piss poor marketing driven cheapness of the auto's. I know things rust, but when you see a new Mustang and the bulk of the engine is rusty while being new with less than 10 miles on the showroom floor it smells of cut corners.

Buick News: Rumorpile: What's In the Pipeline for Buick
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
So if your argument is to hold water then how do you justify that MB was platform sharing with Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge when they owned them. That would mean that MB cars were $h! since they used the same platform on much cheaper auto's and 99.9999% of people DO NOT know that or car other than auto enthusiast such as our self debating this here. This seems to be more of the Goal Line Moving you have stated in the past to justify MB and bash Cadillac. -
Interesting but wish they would give it better style on top of updating the interior. Very cool that you left with a positive impression.

Interesting, the back-end reminds me of MB auto's, the front end got the Ugly Acura multiple eye ball head lamps and the interior dash is a bit of a disappointment for the new Android / Apple auto system. Over all will sell to Honda Faithfull but I do not expect this to win over new buyers. They have been there and done that wit4h Acura so why use a slow selling look on the new Honda. FAILURE!

Drove through the National park from Banf to Lake Louise and then up to Jasper and drove as far north as I could before running out of road and the repaved roads are so smooth and nice. Was a great vacation trip and the beauty of the area is a must see for people who love road trips.

That is one Hideous Car!

Very cool I have appreciation for those that can give that amount of detail to miniature models.

"That's Not a Buick" Ad Campaign a Success?
G. David Felt replied to cp-the-nerd's topic in Industry News
You are an amazing person, I showed your posts to my wife who is a clinical psychologist and she says your an interesting case of Denial about anything but your Big Germans. In regards to Cadillac you complain that their cars are too big, too small, not powerful enough, not luxury enough, not competitive enough, not quality enough, not enough models, etc. etc. etc. Many have said you are perfect in how you move the goal posts every time the evidence is pointed out that Cadillac does indeed have a equally or superior auto to the Big German (Your Words). Have you ever thought about just saying it, YOU believe the German Brands are superior in every way to what Cadillac can do / build. Starting off with this, then just post what you do not like or think and save all the goal post movement. Instead of stating that the CT6 cannot compete against 5 series, CLS, A7, etc. etc. etc. Why not just state something like the following: I acknowledge that the CT6 is going to compete against the BMW 5 series, MB E series, and A7 and this is why I believe it will fail, then state your argument and let it go out for debate. It would be so much easier for all. -
WOW Honda keeps making their auto's uglier and uglier just like Toyota. What is up with that.

Lexus News: 2016 Lexus IS Gets Two New Engines For the U.S.
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Toyota
Talk about a YAWNER!!!!!! I am tired of these over HP V6 with weak Torque. The car is still ugly with the Predator grill and the design language leave much to be desired but to Lexus fans I am sure they will plunk down their hard earned money and lament how great these rebadged Toyota's are. The only thing impressive is the Turbo 4. -

Never give up hope, Nothing says they still could not do a new Grand National using the Camaro platform. -
Both sounds good, I for one am more interested in #1 over #2.

A new Trailblazer would be awesome. I love my AWD SS and while the around town gas mileage sucks, the highway is just fine. Would be nice to have a new trailblazer AWD SS.

You've got a reputation to maintain.
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Site News and Feedback
I'm not indecisive... I just want to be able to relax on my upcoming vacation. Downvoting will return after I return. If it continues to be an issue, I may look at other solutions as well. Rock on Drew you deserve it. Bro you make sure to stay hydrated and plan some vacation time, I know speaking from experience that I took none for the last 4 years and finally had my first vacation once the wife graduated college this spring. It was a real recharge and we all need them. Do not work to hard outside without drinking plenty and please take a vacation. -

This seems like a logical line of what will happen. I wonder what concept surprises they will have in store for us at the auto shows coming up. -
Is this part of the SpitFire Engine Series?

If CAFE says NO to the GMC Syclone and Typhoon, then they also say NO to the AMG crap. -
Good News: Mole People decided to return the carpet to you. Bad news: They asked for you to give them one of your children in exchange for the carpet.

Those are as hideous as the MB Vans. Rather have an SUV than a Van but I do acknowledge that they have their place especially in the service industry. haha actually our taurus X to me had the perfect third row. Flex / Explorer has the same. Wife wanted a larger third row, which is why we have the van now. It gets used and adults can be back there, just as they can in a Traverse. She had ridden in a coworkers Acadia and said she would have been good with that as well. I recall folks who had original Honda Pilots saying the third row was good. I think most families with kids these days want one third row vehicle if they can swing it. I saw that selling cars. no third row, no want. It comes down to how much third row you get for the price. I wish Ford make an all new Flex. Not a van, not an SUV. Flex was just about perfect to me aside from the fact the design is long in the tooth and the interior needs an update badly. Now that i have had sliding doors and power doors for awhile, they are great for kids and my spouse, but i would be ok with the swing doors on the Flex. The Flex doors have a piss poor design where the door wraps underneath, subject to corrosion and curb damage. If ford made a new Flex, something inbetween the size it is now and the size of my van would be perfect. To be honest, until you check it out the Nissan Quest seems odd and undersize but for people (not cargo) it has a nice three row setup. Getting back to my point, if a family has one three row vehicle, the Equinox is great as either a first vehicle or a second vehicle because the backseat is commodious and usable, particularly with the sliding feature. If they lose that from the Equinox its game over. I would imagine this new crossover will have the sliding second row. Flex is a near perfect Station wagon on Steroids. I loved the leg room and ability with the third row. FORD SHOULD keep this model line going and update it. I still see many who want a station wagon on steroids rather than the jelly bean CUVs we see now.

Wonder if you can get the 300 Mile battery pack for your own conversion jobs? That would be an awesome battery pack to buy and use in your own favorite auto conversion to EV. Very interesting read of his announcement and the comments from current and new owners. http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/three-dog-day Love the comment from a new owner who bought his S85D on July 8th, this announcement comes out and he contacts his sales rep and asks to add the upgrade to his car and is told he would have to pay a penalty to cancel his current order and reorder with the new upgrades. Something tells me Tesla has not learned how to update an existing order with add on sales. They want to penalize your order for a fee and then you have to pay 10K more to get their newest stuff. Stupid plain stupid.
