LOL, When your 6'6" tall 300lbs, the SS is a sporty coupe to me! OK, then I have to copy El Kabong Challenger Hellcat Plum Crazy. Course being a UW Dawg Fan Purple is my colleges Color!

The What Would You Buy Instead Thread- New Audi TTS
We'll my local Cadillac has a few unsold CTS-V coupes still, lovely but yes they are new but not current year. Do we have to stay new with current year? Just trying to figure out the game.

New York Auto Show: 2017 Mercedes-AMG E43: Comments
I have to say that I like the interior and dash, nice better than most of the ones they have had that looked gimicky and cheap with the floating nav screen. Exterior, BLAH, nothing special, looks like all the other MB jelly bean autos and gives me no reason to even consider it. MB has lost their style mojo, AMG is a watered down mess now. Pathetic, but badge snobs will still buy it.

Ram News: Marchionne Wants A Midsize Truck for Ram
I know only a couple of these are real concepts but even the photochop ones look good. That little thing really is AWESOME! The only thing they would actually need to change would be the rag-top and it looks like it could be made just like that. Agreed, they could kick ass and sell a ton to the inner city folks who want a compact pickup for their Home Depot runs. No need for mid or full size trucks.

Seattle's Aggressive EV Plan by 2017 / 2025
G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com Seattle's Aggressive EV Plan by 2017 / 2025 Living in Washington state where the state has chosen or forced based on your take of the political people in Olympia, the state's capital to move the population from petrol to EV auto's and drop all support for alternative fuels this comes as no surprise to me. Seattle mayor announced yesterday a huge push to triple the number of fast fill charging spots by 2017, only 1 year away as well as cut in half the amount of green house gas produced in Seattle by 2025. How you might ask is he doing this? The city starts with the private residence where they will offer loans / payment plans to encourage people to install their own charger of choice into their garage. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is offering $500 towards this install, the state is offering up to half the cost and Seattle now will finance the rest. All new private construction must now have included an EV charging station. All new commercial residential buildings (Apartments/Condo's) must have X amount of spots for charging based on the size of the building. All new commercial building period will now be required to reduce transit emissions through building tune-ups every 5 years and other operational improvements this includes having so many charging stations available for use by the work force in the parking garages. Seattle is going to triple by this time next year in 2017 street access charging stations. The city is putting in place plans to support workers living in the city with affordable green housing. Seattle has also committed to an an VOLT fleet of city auto's replacing all gas powered cars. They are also looking to find alternative auto's for their trucks and pushing forward with a complete electric city bus fleet. Video and news coverage is found here: KING5

Remember we are all adults, professional and need to take the higher road and not get sunk into the quagmire muck of auto silliness. Respect each other and make valid cases for your belief and reasoning on why we do what we do.

Chrysler News: 2017 Chrysler Pacifica to Start $29,590*
I think you mean Kia and not Hyundai. Hyundai dropped their minivan (Entourage) in the late 2000s. Yes, thank you for the clarity there, it is Kia who still has a minivan. Still wonder why the name change, would love to see if this was focus group driven or some other marketing or just Sergio wanting to screw everything up before he goes.

Mmm..Lamborghini Espada..only seen a couple of those over the years, at Concours shows. This was clearly a guy in his 60's and drove it like he was going to hell. It was lovely, sounded and looked great.

VW News: Michael Horn Steps Down As President and CEO of Volkswagen USA
So this begs to be asked, was he aware of the fraud? Did he have a hand in the mess that is now in front of the world? There has to be a reason for his immediate quiting. This is interesting and seems to have raised plenty of questions on what is VW hiding still? Gut tells me VW will be buying back plenty of auto's for the crusher.

Rolls-Royce News: Spying: Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV Mule
You can clearly see it does ride about 3-4 inches higher than the regular RR, but I wonder just how high it will be when done. As most companies are lowering all auto's. So this is not that much different, Hopefully better looking though.

Subaru News: Subaru Debuts A New Modular Platform
This is the right move and my gut tells me all Auto makers over the next 18-24 months will move to a universal platform that can support petrol, Hybrid and EV auto's. Makes sense to have a single platform rather than multiple.
