Jeep News: Rumorpile: Fiat, Jeep Plan A Crossover Offensive
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Jeep
Jeep better be ready to truly change the body style as the Fiat Panda is one ugly little subcompact. -
I also remember this HOT LITTLE NUMBER. Shelby Rampage 1984 More interesting and also covered in the story above was that 1983 Chrysler released 248 Special Order Rampages for the Canadian Market.

Did not realize that Dodge had a 2015 Rampage Concept that they showed off last year. Did anyone see this truck? I have to say I actually like it. http://suvntrucks.com/2015-dodge-rampage-concept/

Cadillac News: Cadillac CT6 Reveals Itself In New Commerical
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
You need to go back to your Koolaid drinking MB Forums. You bust Cadillac for not having powerful motors and then when they do build and use them you bust them for not being refined. Your AMG MB crap is just that then, Crap since they have loud unrefined motors that are beat by GM motors. If you cannot compare Apple to Apple and accept that MB is not the best or Hallmark for everyone due to other companies willing to compete, you will never be able to make a fair argument to win people over. Lets look at what you do, Cadillac delivers a competent auto and you move the goal post, Cadillac delivers a winning solution and you change the focus to be Apples to Orange comparison. Cadillac starts to change to beat your beloved MB point for Point and you throw it all out and turn 180 degrees the opposite way. You need to ask yourself, what is it really you HATE SO MUCH about Cadillac that you cannot see that some of their products truly beat MB? Yes Cadillac as well as MB has built garbage auto's through out their history. There are good times and bad times. No one will ever be perfect. If you cannot seem to accept that MB is not the perfect be all for the world and that they will never win over everyone and yes other companies even BMW, Audi and even Cadillac or an Asian brand can build products that can beat MB you will never know peace. It is truly sad that you can never be happy for others cause you are not happy with yourself.- 164 replies

Cadillac News: Cadillac Releases Details on New V6 Engine Family
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Cadillac
GM has proven the ability to build class leading engines with HP and Torque equal to or greater than HP. Now they show off an engine like this on a new auto. This is the one time I wish Cadillac had kept their mouth shut till the full engine line was ready for the CT6 and then start off with V8, Diesel, V6 and Alternative fuel. -
Jeep News: Rumorpile: Fiat, Jeep Plan A Crossover Offensive
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Jeep
Be interesting to see how much the replacement for the Compass/Patriot will look like the US replacement version. I thought this year some time they would show off the replacement version here in the US. The smaller version below the Renegade would be a true competitor to the Mini. I would think Jeep would want that here also. -
This would be good for VW, they need to figure out how to crack the nut of the US market and get their sales going other than to the 60's era make love not war peeps. They clearly are not firing on all cylinders yet.

Cadillac News: Cadillac CT6 Reveals Itself In New Commerical
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
The asian interiors are just cut up mess for me. The Audio interior has two strikes against it. 1) The stupid Floating Nave screen. This screams after thought to me. Audi and MB both have left plenty of what I consider after thoughts in their interiors. What is so hard about building the nav system into the dash? 2) Is this the current interior for real? This screams 1980 to me. A very dated look.- 164 replies

Around here in Seattle plenty of Horror stories about the 500. Mostly a lemon from the first day of purchase. Around Seattle you can find plenty of used Fiat 500 all with milage below 10K for around 10K in price and if you go to the 500L you can find them below 10K around the 12-15K price. You have to ask when you see so many low mileage cars priced so low. What is the common denominator. Clicked on a few that had free carfax reports and the one thing I noticed is they all spent considerable time in the shop being repaired. Not good for reliability. Balthazar the pic loads for me but is a black pick with faint white outline of the auto.

So this concept would be an auto focused on those under 5'10" tall? This is the UK answer to population control if they build it. I doubt they can have people drive it and survive. Better to not waste money on such a small auto for the US market. They should instead focus on Hybrid's, EV, CNG, Many other options better than this little thing.

It would seem on initial go over that Abarth put quality into the auto that Fiat clearly is lacking. Now to see just how long these last. A coworker has one of these at work and at 27K miles it is shooting blue smoke. He as an appointment to go into the dealership about the blue smoke.

Love the flowing simplistic dash design and controls. Exterior is OK since we really cannot see how it looks yet. But I like this clean flowing dash and like Balthazar states, nice to see more luxury companies doing a flowing dash compared to the compartmentalized chopped up dash that Lexus, Infinity and Acura seem to have gone with. That is just ugly.

2500HD needs to come to the Population but with the Baby V8 Duramax Diesel or at least with the option of pure CNG. This is just dragging out the inevitable that we will have it on the lots. Plenty of people want a 2500HD for towing their trailers and boats with people. If they are not sure about all lines then make the 2500HD a Yukon XL Denali edition only with Diesel. That would be very profitable for them. WAKE UP GM!

GM News: GM Making Major Changes in Russia
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
Is it my eyes or is that cobalt much smaller than the US Cobalt? Talk about disappointing looking car. Looks like a subcompact rather than a compact. -
Loving It! Keeping the lineup fresh!

You keep trying to fit everything into the German cookie cutter machine. WHO CARES! If this is between the A8 & 7 series and sell's well in the 70 - 80K range then they found a sweet spot and I doubt it will be only competing with the Equus.- 164 replies

GM News: GM Making Major Changes in Russia
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
I would say Putin is getting his wish to go full Communism again as their supreme dictator. No reason to build auto's there when you cannot get the profits out or have to pay crazy pay off amounts. Too corrupt for bottom cars so might as well sell the high end models with decent profits.
