Dont you folk already know? We blew her up and The Monkees took over! Truth be told....All over Latin America....the USA's hypocrisy with certain fascist regimes might be a result of what has happened in Venezuela past and present..... The term puppet government comes to mind..... HELLO PUPPET!!! It really is a case of Its a little bit me, Its a little bit you too!!! American Foreign policy....Karma is a bitch and it bit ..GM in the ass this instance... Trump and Trudeau...have certain things to work out as Trump has fired SEVERAL salvos up North the last 48 hours... Its Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace all over again Something about trade routes...

Not just in China... In Europe as well... Possibly Canada not too far behind... US eventually. General Motors acknowledges this as well. http://www.motortrend.com/news/buick-velite-5-chinas-take-chevrolet-volt/ At the 2017 Shanghai auto show, Buick introduced the Velite 5, a rebadged Chevrolet Volt made specifically for the Chinese market. Featuring the same Voltec powertrain as in the Volt that combines two electric motors, a T-shaped lithium-ion battery mounted low, an electronically variable automatic transmission, and a 1.5-liter I-4 that serves as a range extender, Buick says the Velite 5 can travel up to 116 kilometers (72 miles) in EV mode or 768 kilometers (477 miles) with a full charge and a full tank of gas. It’s unclear, however, what standard the automaker is basing its range estimates on. In the EPA cycle, the Chevrolet Volt is rated at 53 miles in EV mode and 420 miles with a full tank of gas and a full charge. 72 miles for China while in the US its 53 miles... Its quite telling how the US once was the leader in technology, innovation and forward thinking only to be a shadow of its former self lagging.... Oh no...the US is NOT lagging in technology, innovation and forward thinking...its company's are amongst the world's best... THE PEOPLE, ITS CITIZENS, ARE NOT THE GO-GETTERS THEY USED TO BE...I guess China is the new USA? This is not a hate speech meant for trolling.... Just a slap in the face WAKE-UP CALL!!! I DO AGREE WITH TRUMP ON HIS SLOGAN YES! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! But it aint in the context TRUMP SAID IT IN!!! Why does China get a better Chevy Volt AND and a better Cadillac ELR in the Buick Velite 5? Why dont the US citizens DEMAND BETTER? Oh I know why!!!! They are too consumed with idiotic adolescent, hypocritical drama that is dummying them down!!! http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-bill-oreilly-payout-20170420-story.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/oreilly-out-1.4078256 http://www.politicususa.com/2017/04/20/fox-news-incentivizing-sexual-harassment-paying-perpetrators-65-million-exit-packages.html About EVs....the tipping point is near. Porsche is seeing it....hell, GM is seeing too...that is why the Buick version in China gets an upgrade unlike in Europe with the Opel Anterra and in the US... The irony is that just a week or two BEFORE Opel was sold, the President of Opel wanted to go full out EV for Opel because even in Germany....laws are put into place to ban Diesels in the very near future and petrol cars in the not so distant future.... Actually, other European countries are banning diesels too....Including Greece...(by 2025 and for their major cities only as a start) http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a31097/german-government-votes-to-ban-internal-combustion-engines-by-2030/ http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-38170794 Oil based propulsion for cars are coming to an end...governments are pushing this unto us....(is it really that awful to be driving EVs?) (Infrastructure and charging times are in the next 2 years NOT gonna be a factor just like range is not a problem as of NOW....Bullshyte excuses aside) We, as a North American society who hates and distrusts governments and became a nation from rebelling is unfortunately what it is....Trump has no choice to follow as the PLANET is going down this road...

And yes...I saw that post where you deny what you soooooo blatantly did intend to mention...but the Gods wiped your post clean...

You talkin' about Greece? Afraid to say it? 1821 1841 1878 1904 1912 1914 1919 1923 1939 1946 1950 These are all all out wars that modern Greece fought...the one in Korea was the ONLY one that did not involve her freedom... If you are talkin' about Greece, maybe a little research will do you some good and maybe you wouldn't believe some of that #fakenews we here so much about... Meaning...while Greece does have social programs that most of the population abuses...you would realize quickly that abuse of social programs is a tiny wee part of modern Greece's failure... All those wars all those decades where Greece is fighting for her FREEDOM from the Ottomans, the Germans (WW1), the Nazis, the BRITISH that CONTROL HER ISLANDS, will quickly realize that Greece's coffers are NON-EXISTANT let alone empty running social programs.... Greece has been looted and raped many times over even by her so called friends... I keep on hearing about Greece's failure due to socialism... Those are people that 1. are blind to the truth and only go with what their biased political views tells them 2. hate Greece in general 3. are ignorant to the truth I aint calling you or anybody else out here, just pointing out the direction to have maybe some sort of falsehoods put to rest. And if you weren't talking about Greece...

These kinds of things has happened in the past. In China it happened quite frequently and the fear is still present as we speak to happen again. In Nazi Germany it has happened. What can GM do? Cry fowl? (talk to the International trade organization) Good luck wit dat... Tell Trump to invade Venezuela? (or at least tell Trump to impose trade sanctions and get NATO countries onbard) IMO...its the cost of doing business outside your home country when that particular country seems like a shady country..... Brazil and China and....even Mexico seems like a bad idea....

@dfelt That was a +1 for all those Pizza combos you mentioned!

ANYTHING THAT DAMN WELL PLEASES YOU!!! I personally like my pizza all dressed. What does that mean in Montréal? Well, Montréal's definition of all dressed on a pizza may very well be the original definition and it consists of pizza sauce, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese. But....Pizza is like sex...even bad pizza is good! So....more to it than that... Sometimes all dressed pizza gets boring, like missionary. I like to change it up sometimes... Poor old Ramsey, he must have a very boring sex life....

They did!!!! Back then they were called OLDSMOBILE!!! These cars that Buick got now....the Intrigue, the Alero, the Aurora were already there in their 1st generations....let us not forget that Aurora's 1st gen was in 1994 or 1995 Imagine what Olds could have done with a post bankrupt GM with a 3rd or 4rth gen Alero & Intrigue and a 5th generation Aurora with a head start of DOHC V6s that Olds offered on the 1990s as well...

Didnt that, like happen about 20-30 years ago? Didnt the Lacrosse replace the old W-Body Regal and the shared old W-Body Century which replaced the FWD A-Body and the RWD G-Body which were fused together to create the aforementioned W-Body twins? Didnt the big Lacrosse replace the Lucerne which replaced the LeSabre and Park Ave? Why was the Verano so phoquing close to interior dimensions as the Regal? Why was the Verano killed off and why is this next gen Regal so phoquing close to interior dimensions as the Lacrosse? I get that Buick is hot in China, but in North America....like WTF is Buick doing???!!!

Obsolete? I dont understand what this means? Although I buy all my cars with all the bells and whistles, I dont use any of the technology available. There are certain technologies that I despise and refuse to use...like Ill never ever use. Back-up cameras, lane departure beep beeps...I HATE THESE OPTIONS that are soon to be standard equipment on all cars... The only technology I love and cant live without since I was introduced to this tech is ABS brakes and traction control. Even traction control pisses me off sometimes as in winter driving, to get rolling in ice or snow, the wheels need to spin somewhat... On the entertainment side of things, the only thing that I may or may not require is just a regular radio with a USB port so I could lug my music around. Apple car play and the cloud and stuff....I dont need it, there is enough music on my USB key to entertain me for hours...that would be like 50CDs worth...on one key...and since I love all types of music and all types of music is on this USB key, Im entertained. The sports talk radio does the rest. So, with that being said, and we are preferably to stay from the 1980s on...there are some cars that I wouldnt mind driving for 20 years as a toy. Id love to own a 1980s G-Body from GM, preferably the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with T-Tops. Hurst or 442. Or a Grand National/GNX from Buick. Even though these dont have ABS or traction control. Summer driven only so Id probably wouldnt get myself too much into trouble and I would probably not drive them like an idiot either. Then there is a Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am 4rth gen in any high performance guise either as a Firehawk or WS6. T-Tops a must. Again...summer only car. This one. Has AWD, and a V6. 300 horsepower. More than the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme as a V8 and slightly less than a Trans Am 4rth gen. 2017 Challenger V6 AWD so I could daily drive it summer and winter. I could live with this car for 20 years easily.

I REGRET SAYING WHAT I SAID! IT IS TOO LATE TO TAKE IT BACK! edit time ran out I BAN MYSELF FOR 48 HRS...NO NEED FOR DREW TO HAVE A HEADACHE OVER THIS! SORRY THE GANG OFF CHEARS AND GEARS!!!

Thank-you! Still doesnt change the fact that you are a troll! Its OK ...you could have mentioned my name... something like that: @oldshurst442 would have been nice... Or you afraid to summon me up? I heard that you whined about a hockey post in that one. SORRY @Drew Dowdell My last dig on him!!!

52 saves!!!

not drunk...I did say TRICK ENGINEERING. And yes. The engineering behind the Demon and the Veyron could be compared and contrasted. The Demon has some serious forces it needed to tame to make it livable for day to day duties as well as the strip. Same as the Veyron. Cooling is another factor on how VW and Mopar went about it... How both engines are strong to withstand all that combustion... Supercharging a V8 for one car to achieve 900 some odd horses on 100 octane or something like that while quadrupling turbos on a 16 cylinder producing 1000-1200 horsepower. Awd on one car and rwd on the other and the one with rwd manages to plant the rear tires to out accelerate the one with more horsepower, double the cylinder count, mid-engine and 4 wheel traction... One trick pony? Ill give you that... But Ill taketh away... We criticize a car that is knowingly and unabashedl strictly made for the quarter mile drag race? That is like criticizing a Harley Davidson chopper for not being a crotch rocket sport bike. That is like criticizing a Hayabusa for not being a Harley cruiser. A Demon is not a mid-engined exotic, nor does it pretend to be one. A Challenger has NOT dreamed about changing vocations like the Mustang and Camaro did...partly because the platform wont allow it and the Challenger desperately needs a new one...but...isnt what the Demon could do performance wise a testament to what the SRT/Mopar guys could do with such an old platform? Do we really need to be that negative towards the Demon and be all sour grapey and whine that the Ford, Chevy, Tesla boys need not worry because of other performance metrics? At the end of the day, this is still America, the Challenger, the Mustang, Camaro and Model S are still American cars and American icons and reaching 1320 feet in the fastest time and highest speed s still THE performance metric...and as of now, the Demon holds that record...seats or no seats... And yes the Mustang and Camaro are great... So is the Demon. Could we not accept it for what it is??? Like Frisky said, I too, if I was rich beyond belief, Id own 3. 1 to be a garage queen. 1 to be daily driven. 1 to replace the daily driven one because I know Id be putting the Demon on a tree or a highway barrier because of that raw power...assuming Id survive to drive the 3rd Demon after said crash...

Hello. Boston Bruins 2 Ottawa Senators 1 Bruins take first game. So...has the Mustang outsold the Challenger (and the Camaro) for the month of March? You seem to have forgotten to show us in the sales thread for March... So....how are burnt LS7 valves doing in 2017? Yeah...your former name... Especially when my 1.6 liter ecoboosted Fusion is about to be recalled again for possible engine fires....again... Funny, you dont advertise fire hazard ecoboost anywhere in your sig or avatar... Yeah...tell us again how you are not a troll? Id leave this alone...but anytime GM or Mopar stumbles, you are there to pin point. Anytime Ford does something good, you gloat. Anytime GM or Mopar do something good, you try to negate. You know me well by now. I NEVER LET these kinds of things slide!!!

Vintage over new for me too... But..restomodded and pro-toured for me. When numbers matching cars are concerned....I'd leave the engine alone, only suspension and brake upgrades for safety Id do. Clone cars is what Id resto-mod and pro-tour with LS crate engine swaps, or Coyote swaps or 6.4liter modern hemi swaps depending on the project car... A modern Challenger would just about be the ONLY pony car/muscle car that I prefer new over vintage. But then again, a vintage 1970 Challenger Hellcat or Demon restomod sounds god to me... Dynacorn shell body. Hellcat crate engine. Swartz performance chassis. Modern suspension and brembo brake upgrades and stuff. Some fab work on the vintage hood to mimic modern Hellcat hood.... Yup....vintage over new!!!

nope. You a troll...always was. Now....Ive got a hockey game to watch. Our nation's capital versus the team I actually cheer for. Its an exciting game too!!! You are now free to troll away how the Demon and the Vette displeases you because RICE and tell us how the Mustang will outsell it...

@FordCosworth @FAPTurbo and everyone else that disses the Demon for whatever reason... THIS is what REAL car guys say about the Demon.... Anything what @FordCosworth and @FAPTurbo had to say is just pure TROLLING!!!! It aint opinion, it aint even hatred of the machine, its just pure TROLLING!!! May I say to you: JUST GROW THE PHOQUE UP!!!! LET IT BE KNOWN...BOTH ARE FROM VANCOUVER B.C.

Not in your case....you hold other car makers other than Ford to different standards! The Ford Mustang is the EPITOME of RICE in the Muscle Car world! Yet somehow, the DEMON bothers you???!!! AND THE VETTE AS YOU DID THIS RICER TIRADE WITH THE VETTE TOO!!! GTFO!!!

From your favorite Prime Minister's international airport of Montreal! The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport in Montreal Season #2 starts tonight and this is how Montreal greets its visitors as of yesterday! So.....how are those Canucks doing? Yeah....I guess that is why political talk is front and center, Vancouverites have nothing better to do just talk shyte about Liberal this and Liberal that... Well, had the Canucks made the playoffs, ya'll be complainin' about Marchand....

*SIGH* Another gigantic wing on a Mustang Yet another useless wing on a Mustang with ground effects...especially when an LX was FASTER!!! This one is channeling its inner ricer PONTIAC TRANS AM Complete with Trans Am engine turned dash But the thing is....MUSCLE CARS ARE RICE!!!! What I wanted to point out is that from 2016 to 2012 to 2001 to 1990 to 1976, the Mustang sells to the adolescent crowd because well.....MUSCLE CAR!!! Scoops, air vents, racing stripes, wings....functional or not, part of the Muscle Car persona.... So... GTFO with that SHYTE @FordCosworth PS...I KNOW YOU LOVE THIS CAR....AS YOU SHOULD!!! ITS A BEAST!!! GREAT ENGINE!!! BUT THAT WING, BRAH!!! SO...I REPEAT....GTFO WITH THAT SHYTE!!!

@smk4565 It looks like the Battle of the Bulge is won by the Americans...again. AMG is like Rommel and SRT is like Patton. See you in Berlin, SMK.

There is some serious trick engineering regarding the Demon to achieve this. On a Dodge. Think about that. Bugatti is revered for having 4 turbos and 1000 plus horsepower and a price tag that costs more than my house! Tesla...its a great engineering feat. Its fast. Its also a luxury name plate sort off. This is a..... DODGE. LOVE IT, HATE IT. ITS A MUSCLE CAR TO END ALL MUSCLE CARS. STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY. It aint home built. It aint built by a hot rodder on a dime and time. It aint made by a crooked shyster a la Hennessey. But by Tim Kuniskis and his Auburn Hills palls! Take it or leave it. Love it or hate it. Just be glad that Dodge is still alive to at least make one last hoorah at the Alamo. Just be glad this aint a Prius....but a muscle car that could propel Musk to up the ante on his Model S. Who the phoque said that the good 'ole pushrodded internal combustion V8 engine is dead? Grim reaper...you better look elsewhere...perhaps towards Ford and its ecoboost bullshyte!!! Thus maybe Ford and GM could exercise their horsepower demons to exorcise this Demon and give us another V8 horsepower war. Because as of now....it takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar!

Not in the quarter mile and the front end dont lift...that is some serious shyte! Let Elon do the same shyte to his Model S and take out some seats if he wants to rule hell!!!
