A Horse With No Name

It is fantastic!

As it is though, I still like the Camaro SS better as a car, though.

Having owned an O24 back in the day myself, I can say decent car for the time. They were ahead of the curve then. Now, look at how far behind the curve chryco is in small fun cars. Yes, I know the 500 Abarth exists but it is a Fiat, designed in Italy. The current Dart is wildly behind the Focus/Fiesta ST, GTI, SI Civic, BRZ/FRS, et all. Now, I am of all people on this forum the first to throw Mopar under the bus. As far as I am concerned, Chrysler engineers are behind global warming, Miley Cyrus and her strange behavior, and John Boehners skin being the same color as a jack o lantern. That being said, I would love to see the Mopar boys join the party with another fun, small American car. Something like the first gen Neon R/T and ACR twins.

I do like that she is driving a wagon...beats a minivan any day!

It does sound almost Italian, like the same crew that did the 500 Abarth was in charge of this.

A dirty girl indeed...

Chrysler is like the girl next door who ends up in bed with losers. First Daimler, then Fiat...perhaps the next round of this gang bang will be Chinese once the Italians are done?

Never liked the whole crush all preproduction versions thing.

No, it is not. But I do agree with David, Ms. Barra is the best CEO GM has had in a long time.

Chevette Diesel, been forever since I have seen one. MG Midget made into a rat rod, tastefully...kind of odd, kind of cool. Mid 60's Lincoln, (Grey,, convertible, on I-270)

FTFY. I don't think the problem is GM so much as the increasing complexity of cars and the current legal and social climate. Seems that 16 year old girl who was killed in her Cobalt was both Drunk 9obviously underage) and way over the speed limit as well. We have moved away from personal responsibility to blame the corporate guy. Although it pains me to agree with Balthazar as much as it does to agree with Regfootball...sometimes Balthy has the right mindset on these things.

On a scale from flaming bag of dog poop to drunken sex with a hot stripper...The Fiat 500 is a case of herpes from a girl you picked up at Wal Mart. Sergio needs to sell Toasters or sweaters, given how he unleashed this thing on the American public.

....may be the future. http://www.popsci.com/scitech/...nergyThe Department of Energy just gave $100,000 to upstart company Solar Roadways, to develop 12-by-12-foot solar panels, dubbed "Solar Roads," that can be embedded into roads, pumping power into the grid. The panels may also feature LED road warnings and built-in heating elements that could prevent roads from freezing. Each Solar Road panel can develop around 7.6 kwh of power each day, and each costs around $7,000. If widely adopted, they could realistically wean the US off fossil fuels: a mile-long stretch of four-lane highway could take 500 homes off the grid. If the entire US Interstate system made use of the panels, energy would no longer be a concern for the country. In addition, every Solar Road panel has its own microprocessor and energy management system, so if one gives out, the rest are not borked. Materials-wise, the top layer is described as translucent and high-strength. Inhabitat says it's glass, which seems odd, especially since Solar Roadways claims the surface provides excellent traction. The base layer under the solar panel routes the power, as well as data utilities (TV, phone, Internet) to homes and power companies. Still, this is a ways away from actual implementation, seeing as a prototype has yet to be built. But we can be excited, right?

Possibly!

Competition will not hurt either of them...

Absolutely!

Caddy cruiser-just out of curiosity, how hard is it to sell against the Maxima? Do some of the same limitations exist for it as exist for the Altima?

The concepts are nice, but a car needs marketing and a dealer network willing to sell it to make a go of it. Lots of great cars, such as the Honda S2000, were world class but they had no marketing behind them. i fear the same fate for the next generation of Volvos.

Actually most of the current GM crop outside of the Cruze seems fairly bullet proof.

Existant

Oddly enough, i saw a Prowler the other day, Red IIRC.

Oddly enough, you almost never see VW/Audi recall stuff.

I hope they can succeed, it was a fantastic car when it was here.

Not sure what needs to be done.

In another 5 to 8 years everything will be hybrid and the manual will be dead. Local Honda dealer sales manager said he sold exactly three manual cars all last year other than Civic SI. A premium diesel would just rock in this car.... Pretty much my thoughts as well..
