SuperCars you never heard of.......
We'll I have to say I have not heard of some of these but there is some very interesting body designs. Check it out and sound off on what you find interesting! http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-passenger/50-supercars-you%E2%80%99ve-probably-never-heard-of/ss-BBlRh0B?ocid=UP94DHP Never knew Yamaha made a supercar. Have to say that the Panoz Abruzzi does look interesting. Have to say I like the looks of the Trident Iceni Magna even though it does have a serious MB style to it. Devon GTX is pretty hot.

Industry News: As the Diesel Emits: GM's Powertrain Chief To Push For Global Emission Standard
We have heard this from other auto companies and now GM, I have to say that the more I think about this and to read that China is now considering an Emissions agency, the world really does need a single standard.

"A 5/8 Ton Truck": C/D Tests Nissan Titan Cummins
Not sure the diesel will help them that much, people do not see Nissan as a truck that can handle commercial jobs let alone consumer jobs as to why they only sold 12,500 and have plenty of old Titans on the lots. Dead Product line that should have been killed off. This seems to be more of a pet project of an executive who is trying to justify his job and those below him for having done not much over the last few years. Nothing special or great about the Nissan truck line. Would have been better for them to invest in their auto and cuv lines with the money.

Afterthoughts: The Escape Machine
I totally get this thread, Just got back from a friends wedding in NH and took an extra week to drive the NorthEast, New Hampshire, Main, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Road Island. I was able to get a Brand New 2015 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4. So going to write up a editorial on my 7 days in that ride. Some impressive points but also some opportunities to improve. I agree that with all the technology, it might be hard for some to consider it an escape yet with that same technology one gets to explore areas they have never been in in an efficient manner. Rock on to those of us that still understand how an auto is an Escape Machine.

Alfa Romeo Goes Back To The Drawing Board Due To China :Comments
Biggest problem with FCA is their Unionized BS agreements that makes them think they have to keep their mass production going as well as keep stupid Italian lines alive. They are going down the Bankrupt road and will hit it soon.

Honda News: Spying: 2016 Honda Civic Coupe Makes An Early Appearance
Cost of auto's has changed who has them and people who do buy auto's wants an easy access for more than 2 people. Very limited market for 2 door auto's anymore other than the diminishing eco box area and the ubber rich 2 door performance machines. Most people want performance with hauling people as to why we see 4 door sedans and CUV/SUVs that can burn rubber.

Let's Make a Deal: Cadillac CT6 Will Start At $54k
So you move your goal posts again and use the V8 as a reason to say MB appliances are better yet in so many posts everyone including you have stated that many will not know or care what is under the hood. So if a Turbo 4 banger can give you everything the V8 has with better MPG and Emissions then why bother with V8? If you have been in a Tesla you know that electric can give you the same crazy feel and more than a V8 with better cleaner emissions so this complete V8 needs to be in everything is a false front and holds no water.

Black Sheep of Automotive Companies

Alfa Romeo Goes Back To The Drawing Board Due To China :Comments
You can roast me all you want, I do not care, but this is the worlds UGLIEST car Ever. This continues to prove the idiot leading FCA needs to be fired and this brand put back where it should have stayed in the history books. Waste of Billions that should have stayed in the states to build new models for Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Chrysler.
