Suaviloquent

I like it a whole lot more than I thought it would. I just wished they had kept the inlaid hood. That would have gone a long way to making the vehicle look luxurious.

It's the undisputed King. And it comes just at the right time. I find it a little amusing how the truck has the same shift paddles as the Ford GT (which look killer serious btw). I honestly think a armoured up version of this with a multi-fuel capable engine would make an excellent off-road reconnaissance vehicles for domestic law enforcement agencies like Border Patrol and the like.

I think the interior combination showed in the press photos is kind of drab. Varying shades of beige and brown. And it doesn't even appear as a upgrade either. Gotta see the other combinations. I agree with Frisky, it just looks a bit messy to me as well.

I can't tell which is the concept and which is the production model. So it gets the instant cred of being larger than life, like how the ELR had for being so close to the concept. I like it a lot. And I like the size too. And the interior looks like, heck, probably is peanut butter.

I'm not so enamored with this. The sleek styling works well on a sleek sedan. On a minivan it looks like it's melting. The next gen Odyssey is supposed to launch soon too. I wonder if it'll break the 30 mpg hwy barrier on all current minivans.

I love it, but I see no future for that kind of car in Buick's lineup for the medium term. 5-6 years. Cadillac needs the kind of car that this concept represents. And they needed it ages ago. Now the opportunity has passed. GM can't have the fortune of learning after the moment passes that it would have been right to take a concept and bring it to production. They've learned from being too trigger-ready since the Converj/ELR results.

URGENT REQUEST!! Anyone got a good home remedy for night cough? It's bad, I'm find during the day, turn in to bed and the all neighbors are awake. I mean not like a powerful cure or anything, I just don't have time to go to the doc and my cough is annoying because I feel like pulling my throat out at times.... Anything to just make it bearable, so my body'll take care of the rest in the next few days. I do not want to wake up at 5:30 am leaving for work/school in the weekdays raging over a stupid cough. and it stacks with my permanent insomnia - good way to experience Mars time. Like for the last week, I have been getting to sleep about 30 to 40 minutes after the time day-over-day.

Ahhhh,,, My laughing is spewing fermented sniffle juice and concentrated mucus all over the computer.

I think you're onto something Olds, them Transit Connect Wagons, freshly dumped from their fleet leases are bound - bounds to be deals to be had. I'm still laughing at the - seriously there's like a condensation of mucus on the keyboard and sniffle juice on my laptop screen....

I can't stop laughing, I'm sick too so my coughs are ricocheting off the screen. BHAAA!!!!HAHAH!! EDIT: I have not laughed THIS GOOD IN MONTHS. Good one!!!!

So the algorithm formula is large cargo length in surface area, preferably the aspect ratio of the width being a chunk smaller to imply length, reliability, Amuricane, and a good deal.... Uh...a Durango tango mango. Maybe like an earlier build of the new gen? You could get a minivan. I mean if that solves everything...I dunno. I give up!!!

(I'M IGNORING THE BIG "SIZED" as Camaro and letting my imagination run wild) I think it might be a crossover coupe concept... I mean those count as coupes nowadays no? And then the production version will be a stylized crossover. Perhaps next gen Enclave. Perhaps.

How about some Chevy HHR Juice? I remember - they had a paint option that reminds me of carrot juice....like a Reddish Orange...

(Retarded laughther)

Nice!! I'm glad the Genesis and CTS made it to the list. I want Cadillac and Genesis to kickass and take names.

Well, no one said the rise to the top would be easy for Cadillac. I agree with the sentiment that this list should also include vehicles with big money no whammy. GMC Denali is a crazy cash cow. I wonder if GMC should just be a Denali only brand - and then shift everyone's attention to Buick. But it'll also include munificent moneymakers such as the ES/RX brothers.

Okay, my penchant bloodlust for RWD aside... I can see new AWD systems liked GKN's twin-clutch system winning over a lot of buyers from the RWD crowd. Heck, I know it'll win me over too, because Buick Lacrosse. Gen Y and after buyers don't have the same value attribution. They value luxury as luxury. They don't see RWD as a prerequisite of success, they look more for overall excellence of execution. Whether we like or not, when baby boomers and the rest move on, there seems to be a dystopian future for RWD. But that's just my madness and stupid prediction which I'd be thrilled to be absolutely incorrect.

Its seems though that the Germans brands aren't really keen on doing the whole electric thing. Just a few years ago they were stuck in the diesel mindset thinking they could ride out the storm of high fuel prices...And their hedge didn't workout. It reminds me a lot of Japanese companies for consumer electronics trying to compete with Samsung and LG. They never really found a way to differentiate themselves in a way that actually made them look superior, even though that is the foundation of their initial success. For example, OLED TVs are here to stay and Sony is still stuck in the LCD age. They've thrown their hands in the air and balked at the prospect of even trying to compete because there's no way they could possibly differentiate themselves. Even though they were among the few companies that even tried OLED at first. Funny story. The one thing that German car companies hate, above all, is following any company that isn't German. And it's really hard to actually build an electric car that is complicated. They're so much simpler than ICE cars powertrain wise. Most electric cars will have a pancake battery that acts as a structural member much like a frame. That means every one of them will have a great center of gravity and weight distribution. The thinner and the lighter they become, even better. That's NOT how the Germans do business. They can't compete on price or deliver amazing value, so they use word "complicated" or an aura of being the "over-engineered" as a clear allusion to "sophisticated" in their proposition of value to the customer. That only works so long as people are deeply attached to those attributes. And it only works in their perennial best-selling vehicles or vehicle segments that are truly theirs - the ones that their history can truly be delineated from, such as the S-Classes and X6s of the world. But no matter how salient people are to that kind of product, the Germans will not be able to continue it, atleast not in much of America, eventually. The i3 is hobbled by many things. For being a BMW, it's got nothing that really represents the hallmarks of the company. It does use a lot of CFRP, but it doesn't deliver meaningful advantages in range or acceleration. And the comical tires used up front don't provide any handling confidence. It isn't a BMW. It's a novelty that is already obsolete. It provides nothing to the traditional BMW buyer, and it is a superficial attempt to cater to the basic care factors of alternative vehicle buyers.

Well, I normally do not deviate into the personal story path... but no joke, every Chinese person I meet, heck even a good friend of mine at the campus were,are or are wanting to be fanatics for GM and FordMoCo aside from requisite G3 cars. Like every well to do non-pampered folks love the new Malibu, incoming Lacrosse and were suckers for the Fusion as well. And they hate Chinese cars. Those well to do Chinese folks you mentioned Casa - they're the ones buying loaded Buick Centuries and Excelles as well as Ford Foci and the like. They love them some Chevy, and some vintage Pax Americana. Real truth.

Alright, yet another car that I will always attribute to the orange juice mentality. It's chock full of Vitamin Chevy!

EXT's were really frickin' practical. And savagely thirsty. Legend says they would drink straight from your wallets, a ritual of sacrifice to tame the wild beast. But once harnessed, it was an indomitable force to be reckoned with... Did I mention how much I miss the EXT Escalade???

But remember, it's the lease deals that true scrooge's wait for. I can only imagine how a lease for a car like this might just pay for itself if driven an X number of miles per month. But it'll involve a lot of steadfast planning and definitely the investment with a home charging station up front.

That's a ridiculously good lease deal for a car that's just recently been birthed from the factory. All right, well at that price point, you'd have to be nuts not to test drive this vehicle at the very least. GM has created value for the customer, and now just needs to deliver it through an effective campaign of marketing communications.

It's priced correctly, and I think it will make a great example of a product done right. But I think it's going to be so compelling that it'll take sales from the Volt as well. Well I guess they share common enough architectures, and anyhoo a sale to GM is lost on anyone else. Well, another 12 months since it goes on sale. Plenty of time for other electric car debuts. But another generation of this thing and the Volt will be obsolete.

lawyers and law and lawsuits probably created the need for GM to send paper recalls. even though lots of stuff can be controlled via software on cars, those who think they can just call tech support for everything and have it fixed...there will still be tons of things to break and malfunction that no software patch can fix. People can't be lazy, they have to bring in their car. That doesn't exclude them for doing that as well, because it's so much more effective. The recent FAST Act only makes a provision for 'electronic mail' now. For being a company so insistent that it is focused on safety, why can't they be just a little more ingenious and actually have lobbied them to have change this much sooner? Seems like to me leaving the issue of getting the fix done to the owner only makes it easier for old automakers because it certainly reduces the time and expense of actually getting vehicles fixed.
