i think the center stack oddly enough is pretty good, as is most of the center console, GM usually does not get this stuff right. Gauges, steering wheel, dash strakes, other bits need work.

excuse the crudity of this. just taking the basic lines and tweaking.... the car's proportions are out of whack, just trying to make some sense with it...

The thread with ideas on how to fix the Malibu. A coupler sketches coming up. Or maybe this is a 'what they should have done' thread.

Chevrolet News:2014 Chevrolet Malibu To Address Back Seat
regfootball replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
the biggest problem is the footspace and kneespace. the front seat bottom frame and base needs to be completely redone, and likely that part of the floorpan as well. Sculpting the seat is only going to give you a little gain. GM nearly always sucks at packaging. Don't think I'm right? Look under the hood of the malibu and see the near foot of wasted space between the motor and front bumper stuff. That could be interior space. The interior of the Malibu is pretty good, but they need to lose the sh1tty looking strakes, redo the gauge pods and redo the cupholders. The base seat cloth sucks too. Other than that, I really believe the Malibu's interior is in the upper half of the class. With leather, it's positively bangup.- 27 replies

go to chevy.com and try to build a sonic with turbo plus manual.....i swore it said "5 speed manual"....... unless it's user error or their site is hosed.
-
just tried pricing Sonics......only a 5 speed manual available? I thought the turbo got a 6 speed? DOES ONE MORE TRANNY GEAR REALLY BREAK THE BANK????

25-27k starting price would be good.....

To some degree people are even stereotyped by hair color.

Detroit Auto Show: 2014 Nissan Versa Note: Comments
regfootball replied to William Maley's topic in Infiniti
Focus S manuals in the last couple months have been selling for 13-14k new in my old dealer group. That would be no power windows and no cruise....but i would imagine the ecoboost fiesta will be quite pricey for awhile. For this article the question would be if an EB Fiesta would price out about the same as a sim equipped Versanote. Versas pricing were misleading. You could buy a real stripper Versa for 10 grand. but the popularly equipped ones listed for like 18 -19 grand.- 4 replies

Cadillac News: Detroit Auto Show: 2014 Cadillac ELR
regfootball replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
Volt can't make a lot of profit for GM. ELR is basically a Cadillac Volt (albeit a good one). So if Cadillac can make say, 5x as much money on an ELR vs. a Volt because the ELR is a Cadillac, I say go for it. It's smart amortization in this case. This means the faster they pay the Volt down, the sooner they can appropriate funds for Volt 2, the one that weighs 500 pounds or more less. Mybig fear with electrics, that somehow they will also become the natural incubator for the whole driverless car push. -
major pass on this thing. BLEH. It's like Borrego part 2.

yeah, that too. why not just stay single and play the field if that is the case. re: Asian women, yes they do tend to stay younger looking longer in many cases. I think it is because they don't all cake on ridiculous amounts of makeup like the white women.....so many of who after 25 years of tanning and war paint (makeup) and probably face jobs etc....they all look like wrinkled up cats. that's not even close to attractive. hence, full circle, a nice pleasant, pretty, and beautiful fair skinned woman for me.

in theory yes, in practice not as often as it sounds cheery. people like the comfort food aspect of dating someone of your same race, culture, value set, aestethic group....... to be honest, if i were ever single again, even if i found somebody interesting outside my own 'race'.....even if she seemed awesome on the surface, if her family and culture were something that was outside my preference or comfort zone I would probably move on.

not in any way shape or form should your own personal mating preference be considered racism.
