I dont really care how much this GT350 costs...Its quite a simple choice for me...since I dont drag race, nor autocross, its all about the look for me... And the GT350 simply looks astonishing! Lack of low end grunt? I hardly think so...the thing has got enough grunt to scoot in city streets and on ramp acceleration shenanigans... More than that and my license to drive would be revoked...where is the fun in that? GT350 is where my hard earned cash would go! (if we were ONLY talking about a Camaro SS and a Mustang.GT350, throw in the other cross town rival with the cute little kitty on the fender and its a different story)

Like I always say. Google is your friend.

Being from Montreal Im supposed to dump on Toronto MORE than you. Toronto...its a big city now. ILL NEVER SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT TORONTO! Im sad about the Jays though!

Montreal's show is crap. No real vintage stuff to talk about. Its there. They make an appearance...but it aint big. Same for the Italian stuff. Its during Grand Prix week that the enthusiast stuff comes out from hiding. Like you said, the new stuff, its Detroit, and when our show happens practically at the same time as Detroit...ours sucks big time! But it aint that bad....Toronto's show sounds like an interesting one though.

Leafs game. Take in a Leafs/Habs game... those lately have become fun to watch. Th Montreal International Auto Show has lost its luster to Toronto...like everything else. But we are slowly getting it back. The last couple of years, we have had several Canada first reveals. The El Miraj is one of them...I think the Acura TLX was another. Dont quote me on this, but I also think the Cadillac ELR was another... The Japanese car makers give us a little of that bone more than Detroit does...stupid Toronto...actually....the main culprit is Detroit's Auto Show. The year starts off in Detroit and the Montreal show is a week or two later.

Me too. I was in awe to see how sleek she is. Montreal beat you though. The El Miraj made its Canadian debut in MONTREAL! So much for Alberta oil calling the shots.

Yeah well... Heil Hitler back to you! Did you know that Hitler may have not actually committed suicide back in May of 1945? Your leader actually survived the war!!! Kudos for him and to you! In the mean time...it wont be long when Cadillac will jump back above Mercedes Benz...it aint hard to do actually... Looking at how Maybach keeps on failing...I wouldnt put M-B that much high on a horse if I were you....but hey...however cooks your goose...step.

Speaking of which...I did the trick or treat thing tonite with my kids... One of my neighbors, 2 streets down, got himself a brand new Z06. White. Alls I can say is wow. Its quite the stunner in person. Another on the same street has a brand new Volt. Blue. That too looks good. In pictures it looks like a Honda Civic. Not so much in person. Same street, as its a huuuuge crescent with another inner crescent...well, many new Cadillacs. The ATS. At least 5. One of which is the coupe. All with the 2.0T. Back to the Camaro. Its such a confusing thing for me. I just took my wife's Fusion in for the 2 recalls on it and at the same time I put on the mandatory winters on, and in the showroom was a couple of Mustangs. One ecoboost and one white 5.0 GT with all kinds of aerodynamic ground effect spoilers, I think from the factory. No, not a special trimmed Mustang, just a regular 5.0, anyway, it was white with black wheels and the spoilers were also black. What a gorgeous lookin' thing. I go back and forth to what pony car I would want had I been in the market for one, but that white 5.0 GT that is in the Ford showroom close to my home as we speak would probably be THE one. Granted, I have not seen the Camaro in person, so that opinion might change again, but as it stands right now, at 9:35 PM Eastern October 31, 2015, its that white 5.0 Mustang GT at Advantage Ford dealership in Pincourt Quebec that is winning my heart.

Ive got the date etched on my wedding band on the inside. And her too, while our names our on it. Hers in mine and mine in hers. It also helps that my son was born on the 5th of June while our wedding day was on the 7th. PS: Happy Anniversary that is not quite an anniversary, Drew. About that Camaro. How 'bout that new Camaro? Awesome aint it? Id say yes. However, if I was buying pony car, it'd be the Mustang. GT or GT350. Why? I like the look better. I still cant get past that Transformers connection. Im trying hard to accept it. I cant. I find the Alpha Camaro is just sublime in looks. It captures perfectly the 1st gen Camaro. Just how the the Mustang was in 2005. However, the more I look at the new Mustang, the more I love it. With the Camaro, the more I look at it, I marvel how fast and composed it really is. I marvel how slim and athletic and American it looks, and then the 2008 New Camaro Bumblebee screams at me!

One of the Vegas hotels a few years ago had Maybachs for their shuttles...Luxor, I believe...I remember walking past a row of 4-5 of them. My choice of words might have been too harsh for M-B, Ill admit to that. However, Cadillac is not viewed as top tier 1 luxury for it to have shuttle services for the uber rich to cater to. So in that regard, the uber rich will just laugh at Cadillac and the hotel... The comped special guests will adore the fact they are getting a ride in a Cadillac...but that is the thing, these people will get a kick riding in anything... Cadillac needs to distance themselves from that...Cadillac needs to focus on the Burj Al Arab folk....many moons will pass before they get there...but they need to forget about livery service I say and just focus on making the best they can. In due time, those Phantoms will be replaced by El Mirajs and Ciels...

This engine and powertrain should find itself in the BRZ.

However....does it not seem contradictory to want Cadillac to become less obtainable and let Buick offer the volume while having a 4 cylinder CT6? And...especially using the CT6 as a livery service of ANY kind? NYC, Los Angeles, Montreal, Moscow, Beijing, or anywhere? I get that countries, save for the US and Canada, have limits on displacement and penalize owners heavily when they buy them big cubed engines so a 4 cylinder is needed, but in America...that is not the case. I wouldnt offer the CT6 with the 4 cylinder in the US and Canada just because of what was said....Cadillac should NOT be in the driveways of Tom, Dick and Harry. Only the rich and sexy people... And I especially dont want Cadillac cars be in livery services....not yet at least. Let Mercedes prostitute themselves with Las Vegas Casino shuttle services...its fitting for the them and the city... There is the Escalade that could fill those shoes...and Classic Caddys...but definitely NOT the CT6 or a future CT8... As far as Park Avenue in NYC is concerned...maybe when Cadillac builds their image up again when people actually lust after their products could Cadillac enter this prestige area of chauffeuring people to and fro from airports to Waldorf Astoria hotels...maybe they should forget about Las Vegas and Mercredes Benz and focus more on Rolls Royce and the Burj Al Arab...

I LOVE your RED Miata!

I LOOOOOVE that pic... It was a sarcastic meme made by an environmental nut who had written a blog about Lutz's Destino project. I forget what he wrote, but it was not nice regarding V8s and cars... I just enjoy it because I find comfort in that truth about Lutz and his love for V8s in cars... Yup, I aint an enviro nut... I enjoy a Tesla Model S for what a car crazy guy gets all crazy for... Stupendous instantaneous torque at ANY RPM, stupendous crazy speed in a 4 door sedan....sounds like a muscle car to me. And yup...I love me some muscle cars!

The technology is evolving at a very quick pace... When will EV technology in recharging and battery packs be at the equivalent level of gasoline powered cars? Well....that is the fun part...to wait and see. When was America's roads all paved from coast to coast? When was Route 66 finally phased out in favor of the American Highway system? When, and most importantly, how long and how much money, did it take to supply America with a gas station every 2 miles across every inch of the continental United States of America? EVs and charging stations and serious thought into battery technology is a relatively new thing...think back to when the automobile was first created...in the 1890s...how long did it Henri Ford to produce his Model T? And how long after that did America get concrete roads and gas stations?

http://gas2.org/2015/02/25/tesla-model-s-2nd-best-selling-large-luxury-car-america/ In 2014...the Model S was the second most popular large sedan in sales at 18 400 units sold versus the M-B S class at 25 000 units. In third place was a very distant BMW 7 Series at half of that of the Model S at 9700 units. In 2015, I dont know what the numbers are...I dont think the Model S has cooled off though. As far as off-roading goes with EVs... Its too bad you werent born when the automobile was first invented...no roads OR gas stations back then....range anxiety existed back then also, but it was a way of life...to off raod your Model T... Look, 1920s Dodge too... Can we stop with unnecessary bashing just to find faults? Hyper mentions that Tesla owners think Musk or the Model S is Jesus Christ... What...Lamborghini owners dont think their Lambos are Jesus? Or BMW owners thinking they could do what they want? What about diesel pick-up truck owners....the OPPOSITE of EV owners....with their rolling coal crap?

Are you...suggesting that your red light is on? You know... So now...you are propositioning Santa???!!! (I remember the last conversation...with poor ol' Rudolph being kidnapped and all, but I thought steering this conversation in THIS direction seems like a lot more fun!!)

I think that the next car Ill buy, it will be RED

I aint a follower of Tesla, nor a hater. My views are simply the opposite of a few that see what they wanna see... Some just take a few numbers that they deem to be true because it fits their agenda of...hatred... I posted a link to which a COUNTRY other the the USA...Telsa's headquarters...is gonna invest BILLIONS in infrastructure to make sure that EVs last... http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33886180 And apparently it has been implicated elsewhere already... So...we could all have a blind eye to it...because we think we are righteous in our minds....but the real world says otherwise... And THAT is why NOBODY even addressed that link... you guys could IGNORE me all you want...the thing is...when I post links that contradict your perfect world...I LAUGH...and just re-post and laugh some more... here...a nice picture that I actually deem to be the funniest thing Ive seen in a LOOOONG time....I saw this pic 2 years ago... ENJOY! But...dont get mad when I tell you guys that Tesla is here to stay!!! They got a product that people actually want...The Model S...the approx. $100 000 Model S is selling quite well for its price tag...and remember...its an EV....not a M-B S-Class...an EV...range anxiety and all...but why bother with THAT reality! Its OK...here is the pic I want you folk to enjoy!

If that later XL-7 is of a Saturn Vue depicting sadness, is a Red Line Vue one that is depicting anger and rebeliion? What about a Chevrolet Captiva? Is that one depicting a lonely and very confused Satrun Vue? One that was abandoned by his parents at birth and is an orphan? I have no idea what you're talking about dude... I'm just talking about the headlights on the XL7 that look like they're crying. Suzuki_XL7_--_08-28-2009.jpg Ah! Yes, yes. I could see that! I did not know what you were talking about either, because too lazy to actually read previuos posts, if any , I just decided to read that post I quoted at face value and just blurt out what first came to my mind. OK...Ill explain... I thought you were talking about a Suzuki XR7 as being a model that personifies a Saturn Vue crying. (Because If Im not mistake, same platform) So...in keeping with my insanity when it comes to posting, I decided to up the ante and personify a Red Line Vue as a rebellious and angry Vue. And throw in for good measure a badge engineered Chevy that was an Opel and a Saturn as an orphaned Vue...because Saturn was killed off by GM...by Saturn's parents...hence the comment that the Captiva is a lonely and abandoned Vue... Yes I know...many screws are loose in my brain area...short circuits as well. Hopefully you got a giggle or two out of it though. Because I like making people laugh. If not, Ill try harder next time....OH YES! MOAR INSANITY!
