    Technology is an amazing field to work in.

    Interesting that the Renegade could have their own SRT version then using the turbo motor. As much as I do not like the look and especially the quality of the Fiat line, a 500X Abarth version would be awesome. They should make it an AWD with about 250HP.

    Would love to see this car up against the corvette or camero to compare the various stages of HP / Torque at certain speeds such as: 0 to 30 0 to 60 0 to 90 0 to 120 then 30 to 60 30 to 90 30 to 120 then 60 to 90 60 to 120 I think this will show how Torque and HP work to move the auto even faster. Auto mags and web sites need to do comparisons like this to show just how well OHV versus DOHC engines would perform and deliver. I question the added weight issues of DOHC over OHV engines and where it all ends up at. Then take this to the next level with Turbo versions of the OHV versus DOHC to really see what is best. Right now more Marketing Fluff than real facts from the OEM's.

    Very Cool, So happy to see this auto and that Tesla is finally getting some competition. I wonder when GM would consider either a Corvette EV or allow Cadillac to offer a new XLR EV that would deliver this kind of performance.

    Bolt it Baby!!!

    I would take an Encore with a more powerful engine for sure.

    Sadly, FORD needs to get with building a V8 DOHC with some Torque, HP alone does not cut it.

    I believe you mean (effective use of aluminum) CT6, but that's just a quibble. Yes he means that AWESOME Aluminum CT6!

    VTEC, did it ever really amount to anything?

    You just like to be short or sometime long but to the point!

    People wonder why a good employee leaves, just look to mgmt. Usually chaos that shows why the good ones leave.

    I am excited to read about the Diesel Colorado / Canyon pickup. I am also excited to read more about the BOLT. Excited to see and read about where GM is going with their full size SUV's. Do we finally get a VOLT style Escalade, Yukon and Taho / Suburban version?

    Only rabid Honda / Acura fans will still like it in another 6 months. My gut tells me this will become a pig with pathetic performance due to the bloated twin turbo V6 and the changes that are needed.

    Nice looking CUV that I think would sell well here for Buick and gain market share. GM needs to let the UAW build it here and not affect the China market.

    Nice car, needs a Monochromatic version please, Right now my eyes are burning from all the freakin chrome.
  16. G. David Felt
    That is one ugly Sucker Fish Faced Predator mouthed car that just needs to die. Who the hell approved this garbage? Really Lexus, you now made your line even uglier. Side and rear is geriatrics boring, the front end is just plan awful.

    So adding twin turbo's, a large increase in weight, this will be interesting to watch if they can really get it into production with only a 6 month change. I would avoid the first one built that is for sure.

    Starting a new job on the 24th of August in the same company and now I am finding it hard to finish out next week working for the moron manager I have. So glad to start a new job with new tech that will be exciting.

    Most of the truck is a carry over though visually refreshed. The 2.5 4-cylinder is the same. The frame has been beefed up a bit. The only new thing (to the Tacoma) is the new V6, but even that is just a variant of the unit in the Avalon, and the transmissions. With enough of the puzzle pieces, you can put together a pretty good picture of the new Tacoma. Would it not just be best to say that Toyota took the Butt Ugly 4Runner and cut off it's Ass and Mid section and added a bucket back there?

    Sonic rocks over this.

    Is that a Big Mouth Billy Bass you have there Hyundia?

    Loads? are you referring to the bed, because the current and only aluminum truck on the market has double the load capacity of the competition. Yes, my experience with aluminum box's and beds on trucks is they wear out faster than steel. As such, I could see the inner liner of the bed being high strength steel but the outer shell being aluminum. You have past long term experience on aluminum bed trucks? I would love to hear it. I wonder how badly their bear cage commercial will come back to bite them in the butt. It's bearly possible. Working in college where trucks were bought and custom beds were installed, the Aluminum beds and box's never lasted as long as the steel units, but did contribute to far better MPG due to the lighter weight. Biggest issue seen with Aluminum beds and box's is that Aluminum fatigues much faster and you end up with Aluminum tears or rips especially when people drop stuff on it over and over. I expect the Pure Aluminum beds to wear out much faster. This is why I am wondering if GM will do a Steel inner bed with an Aluminum outer shell.

    I have to disagree with you, I have had all three side by side and you clearly heard the noisy Powerstroke and then the Cummins and the Duramax was quiet. Both Powerstroke and Cummins you can still hear in the cab and it makes conversations hard, where the Duramax is quiet like a gas engine. Put the Duramax next to a GM gas engine and yes it is a bit nosier but does not have the diesel clatter and over all is on par with gas engines for noise. When the Duramax first came out this one of the points GM talked about as the power of diesel without people knowing it when it is next to you.

    That is one way to look at it but then the MB GLA and GLK are also competitors with Buick, Acura and just about everyone else in the auto industry based on the starting price. Just another average CUV.
