    Both are awesome cars for little people. I have tried to fit into them and would have to choose the Lancer as it fits my 6'6" frame better than the Subaru.

    What a waste of Tax payer dollars on an overblown gov group.

    Would love to see this car with the following motor: Rated Torque: 560 Lb Ft Peak Rated Power: 420 HP Peak Imagen an EV Camero and how awesome the performance would be.

    All Auto Makers have their day. GM I think is going to have theirs coming up, Dodge is having theirs now and Ford had theirs. It always seems to rotate around who has the best at various times.

    Come now, I bet you have been told a million times, not to exaggerate Truth is, fewer cylinders will always use less fuel in a comparable engine output, except under heavy load, where they then use the same fuel. Most people drive light to moderate load, under spirited driving, let alone just cruising. that's the theory but it rarely pans out that way in the real world.......... Agreed, I have yet to see the turbo small engines with the same output of HP / Torque to a V8 actually hit their MPG numbers unless they have a fairy driving the auto gently.

    64 lbs lighter than a CTS 2.0T RWD. So, by the book - 3556 BMW is dropping from 7-series weight to 5-series weight, but the CT6 is ATS AWD weight.... it dropped two size classes. A fact that a BMW owner looking to trade in and upgrade really wouldn't care about. As for Cadillac, good on them. But you are comparing a AWD ATS to a RWD CT6. Not exactly matching. It would be exactly two segments lower if it was a AWD CT6 weight quoted above. I imagine 34 speakers isn't included in that number. Well if you prefer to look at it that way, the CT6 only weighs about 183lbs more than an ATS 2.0T RWD (3373lbs)... a car that is already one of the lightest in it's class. The difference in weight between an ATS and a CT6 is..... me.... after a generous helping of chocolate cake. Love Chocolate Cake with Red Wine!

    Why do mgmt always have idiots. Let them go do not promote them. If they failed at their job, butter to let them go then move them up. Never understood that mentality.

    I agree, it would seem BMW is pulling design from Pontiac!

    Ugh, Another Dated Turd!, Sorry but too small for many Americans to fit in and dated as they look like the 1980's. Yes respectful of how Porsche has used a 40 year dated design and maximized profits and marketing to keep people thinking they have the best auto out there. So to me this is just bland, boring, same thing they have done for ever and nothing I would waste my hard earned money on.

    So Dingo, Please reread the story above as this DOES NOT have the I6 but a lowly 4 banger that is transverse and being used to mostly go FWD but on slippage use the AWD system to work. Also if the SRX and Equinox suck so bad, then state facts please, do not just say it sucks unless you want to clarify it by saying some other personal pet peeve with the auto's. Please support and back up your statements with facts not just useless english words. I don't need to reread the story, YOU need to reread my POST. I understand this vehicle no longer will use an I6. I specifically stated 'current X1' in my post- the E84. Which is available with the N55. State facts? Okay. The interior is cheap, they're outdated, they're overpriced, and until the 3.6 got shoved in them, they were powertrain disasters. Hows that? If the interior is cheap then how do you justify these current interior images of the BMW X1 top and the SRX bottom pictures? SRX is equal and in my opinion far superior to what BMW does in their auto's. In regards to the power trains, the Turbo engine they put in the initial SRX version 2.0 was a very good power train just a bit thirsty. Perfect? No, but that did not stop them from out selling many other brands including the Germans.

    Talk about WOW, came across this story on a dodge graveyard in the carolina foothills. Amazing what a man can amass. http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/mopar-graveyard-hidden-in-the-carolina-hills/ar-BBkpp39?ocid=UP94DHP#page=1 The pictures show some that are truly scrap and others that could be restored. Wonder how many will get saved?

    I would like to see how they get into the engine on this car. It looks like even the side front panels must go up with the hood to allow access to the engine. Still ugly but interesting at the same time.

    This could be interesting!

    Segio is an Idiot for putting money into Alfa Romeo if the story is true. That is a dead dog, let it go into the history books and spend the freaking billions on correcting all the poor quality parts that have gone into the current products.

    Same people want a 707HP AWD SUV are the ones that bought and own the 400HP AWD Trailblazer SS and rock driving them! I would take one!
  19. G. David Felt
    Miata, you have to settle for no space, cramped interior room and a true coffin on wheels. I value your life more and would rather support American owned companies. Mustang wins!

    Reread the story, the US market is only getting this in AWD. I think BMW has realized that only a FWD CUV gives them a black eye. So bring AWD. I hope this pushes others to bring Torquey AWD Compact CUV's to the market. This thing should do well for them even with blending in with the X5 but smaller and an interior that clearly looks so 1990's. What is up with this really dated interior look that BMW is using. Just ugly.

    Nice Review, glad to see the old girl get a new life. Agreed that the exterior design is polarizing. I fall into the hate it camp, do not care for it at all. Over all, I wish it all the best in competing in the market. I see the idiots in marketing are pushing HP and engineering idiots are ignoring that Torque is what moves a car. Such a waste to have 300HP and considerably less torque to move it. Give me a decent Pushrod V8 or V6 any day over these dual overhead cam crap that weighs more and does less.

    I believe the Auto industry will push all they can to move all auto prices up to force more and more into leasing as they would rather have a consumable market place with never ending payments to them. I can see the long term time get to where if you want an auto, you lease it and pay for the right to drive an auto with never ending payments. Those of us that hold onto auto's for a long time will become fewer and fewer.

    Interesting learning today about the Doble. Did not know that much about steam cars but these sound cool.

    Opel loses money due to GM's accounting. Opel bears a lot of GM's R&D costs that other business units get to take advantage of. The same thing happened with Saab ... Saab did a ton of work on the original Epsilon platform and 2.0T ecotec engines, but GM North America got to book most of the profits for those developments. Opel needs to stick around because the Europeans have already shown that they won't buy "family" Chevrolets. Chevy and Opel both may have an unfavorable opinion over there, but a German will push an Opel before he'll drive a Chevy. That is some interesting insight, I can see the point your making though as I think germans would push an opel before a Chevy, but I wonder about the rest of Europe? Here on the other hand die hard americans would push a US brand before a german or asian I believe.
