  1. Welcome Back D-Fan!
  2. Yes. but I think this is in reference to the next generation..... which may or may not be BOF I really hope they DO NOT go Unibody on the next generation of Wrangler. This needs to stay BOF. I agree you can use Aluminum in strategic areas, but not everywhere.
  3. Being a Computer Engineer, Nerds Run the World!
  4. High Strength Steel is the answer for off road durability. I really do not think Aluminum will hold up as well as the steel has.
  5. Welcome Nerd, always glad to have another GM owner in the house!
  6. Concepts and current production is awesome. Gotta love American Iron kicking the German and Asian butts!
  7. Welcome CCAP and CP-the-nerd. Look forward to chatting with you guys and check out our alternative Fuel forum. Great stuff on CNG, EV etc.
  8. Bummer but at least you have been enjoying it while they were a valid company.
  9. Welcome Stew, glad to have another car head here to discuss and debate the fine auto world we all live in.
  10. Cool update, I would say you did an awesome thing with this. Just wait as I expect the next year to see great things in upgrades for the escalade and then you will want to trade it in.
  11. Hello Susimi, Great to have you here. Look forward to chatting with you and having you in the discussions / debates about everything auto! Welcome!
  12. #1 gives me the impression of a Fiat based auto. #2 gives me a french vibe. #3 looks like the Mako shark car. #4Desoto or Studabaker?
  13. I have to doubt that this is really what happened. If it was why not release this info back then rather than keep it under seal till almost 7 years later. I smell a rat and it reakes of greedy businessmen and politicians.
  14. That shows the lack of commitment from both Honda and Takata to address this in a timely manner.
  15. With Electric motors that can give you that same performance numbers, I see the day when petrol / CNG / Diesel engines do go away once we get fast charging and long drives covered with proper storage.
  16. Agree with Drew, they can turn the existing Sonic into that Pocket Rocket to compete. No need for a new compact ride. AWD would be nice, but that might not work on the existing Sonic platform. This is a niche market anyway so no need to spend allot of cash. Offer an SS Sonic with the 1.6T and aftermarket GM Performance kits and call it a day.
  17. So Takata is forced to finally acknowledge their products sucks but what are they going to do to insure all 34 million plus the million more it has not acknowledged yet are going to get fixed? Seems to me a ban on all auto's with Takata airbags is needed even in being able to resell the auto's on the used market. This would make the OEM's wake up and address this as I doubt the industry wants to have 34 million auto's unable to be sold or resold. Time to enforce safety by denying any Takata airbag equipped auto from being eligible for sale in the US.
  18. So then Cadillac engine line up could be a 2.0T 4 banger, 3.0T v6 and a 4.0T v8. That would be interesting for sure.
  19. Love the Idea, reminds me of the Ford Tempo AWD I think from the mid 80's. Would love GM to do an AWD Cruz SS.
  20. Nice Review, I wonder if they will ever do an AWD with 4 low option on it for those that want a more versatile version.
  21. I actually like the looks of this very much.
  22. Washed and detailed the wife's ride so it is nice and clean. Just ahve to do a wax job to get it well protected.
  23. Still Awesome Blathazar even at 5K. Keep rocking it and before you know it will be rumbling over the roads again.
  24. Over all this is a wait and see situation. I personally hated seeing the mustang with the 6-4-8 engine lineup and am glad GM is going 4-6-8.Best would be if they put in one of the performance Electric motors. This baby would be nice at 420hp / 560lbft of torque http://www.evwest.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=8&products_id=300&osCsid=7ouhjmd65lvu6ott2c1056gr85 Then fill the underside with enough Lithium Ion batteries to give it a 200-300 mile range.
  25. Maybe the best thing SMK could do is take a weekend and go to the dealers and actually drive near identical auto's having someone record the whole thing so we can see his impression of each one and if it really lives up to his comments on them.
