i support the notion of a base car, but also question if less displacement is the way to go. maybe keep the 6.2 but detune it just slightly. of course a 5.3 with only 400hp is no slouch. I am ok with this. Guys, we need the corvette to not just be for old farts. Price needs to come down to sell a few.

"It's pretty! How is the gas mileage?" shows you how Jeep is a) going after the real buyers (women, and they want cute crossovers) and b) they are willing to water down what a real Jeep is (Wrangler) and dilute what Jeep is.

Focus ST is da schizzle. That Sonic RS mpg is not all that great...... You holding out for that Fiesta 3 banger? A chevy version of that Encore at about 19,900 would be a nice option, wouldn't it.

i think if the pillars were thicker and the height of the glass were not so tall, etc. I could be on board with it. As it is, it just is too much of a BMW coupe profile to me. Beefier looking pillars and roof and a more rakish back end might change my mind. Not as drastic as the CTS, but something just not so derned reminiscent of bland german car #54. Is there a 2 door 14 Impala chop out there? That would be a heckuva lot nicer IMHO edit GMI has a killer coupe chop another thread... With the fastback roofline it could make a good looking coupe, I think..

i do like it.it would totally look fresh in 1992. or something. The impala grille on it is boss though. There is no hips on the car. It has the same sort of blandness that afflicted the GTO.well, everything is so politically sensitive these days, i don't see how they can use the name cherokee and not upset the ------. Gedney stopped calling their little dill pickles midgets because some mom went on an offensive about how it was offensive because she has i guess a midget child.Bland, too much glass.Concept or no, that design is a mutt, ugly, and most of all, in no way forward thinking enough. 011 9-5 was sweet outside. I still think I might lookin into one......I wish Kia wouldn't have puked on the interior of this car.....stylish outside.I am sorry but that makes ZERO sense. Personally, I very much hope that they realize that the Pushrod V8 represents an ace up their sleeve, not a liability. That they'll go for the lighter, more compact, power powerful, cheaper to build and no less fuel economical V8. And, honestly, I believe they will and that Motortrend doesn't know what they are talking about. But whatever it is that they do, making a Bi-turbo V6 ATS-V then switching to a V8 late in the model cycle makes ZERO sense. The ATS will be a TT V6 or a Pushrod V8, and that will be that from beginning to end. There won't be both. I don't think the twin turbo going into the ATS will be labelled ATS-V. I could be wrong, but it's just a hunch.ATS has had instant name equity in the market. CTS has a good rep. DTS was taking hold, XTS might have a good rep. SRX is doing well. ELR though, dud. Converj would be better, it would be ok if the Converj were not alphabet soup. Cadillac should really determine the alphabet soup thing on a model by model basis. No need to be so adamant that all or none has to be letters. FWIW I think the new MKZ is helping Lincoln as far as getting more name familiarity with the 3 letter thing.your theory is nice, its not reality. my cobalt struggles to hit 30 average with the E-10 blend. the moment i fill an empty tank with pure gas i am pulling 32.5-33 no problem on average. my best readings in optimal scenarios with E-10 is about 37. I've reached 40 on my 43 mile jaunt (most at 70+ mph) with non E-10. My taurusx same deal. Best i can usually pull on a trip is low twenties. With non E-10 in the tank i have been in the 24.5-25 range. Other friends etc. have confirmed it (one friend pulls about 40k miles a year or more in company cars). 10-15% better mpg with non e-10 mandated swill crap.
