    I'm glad you like it. Hopefully yous can get one. I like the blue with the 5-spoke wheels. Convenience, AWD and Bose. $27,855. Manufacturer websites say Sonic hatch is 159" long, Encore 168.4".

    What's that box on the front that looks like an air filter?

    LOVE the training wheels.

    Um 1964 is the last year of the "baby boom" and I ain't quite dead yet.

    Have a good one, sir! And yes, the Egg McMuffin is a thing of beauty.

    Key segments are still being neglected, just as before the financial meltdown. When is a midcycle refresh coming for the Cruze? Where are the alternative bodystyles for the Cruze? The 1.6L and diesel models will be welcome improvements, but a 5-door hatch (at least) in addition to the sedan is needed in our country. A compact pickup truck that is affordable, fresh and economical to operate is needed now, not in 2015. The 3.6L is awesome in the Theta line, but the 2.5 should be there as base engine NOW, not next year. The small diesel for the Cruze should go in the Thetas. And what can we say about the Malibu? A bungled launch can cripple an otherwise decent car, I guess. Is backseat room really worse than all competitors though? Still, the midsize sedan segment is one any player HAS to get right, and I believe they made a bad call bringing it forward. The old car was still doing well enough that they could have waited for all the powertrains. Proof in my book that a "green image" is not on everyone's mind when shopping for this type of car.

    I'm pretty sure I read about a turbo version coming, and a convertible. Not sure if they'll call the turbo an STi.

    The reason the video is so well shot is, it was supposed to be part of a French TV show about motorcycle reviews. That's the host riding, but it didn't go quite as planned. Dude's OK from what I understand. OH MERDE!

    Not quite sure what the problem is, old man.

    If they market it as successfully as Volkswagen has marketed TDI, they'll do fine. Oh wait... this is GM.

    I have a theory on Regal/LaCrosse. E-Assist is not popular or desirable. And Verano is a stronger package than Regal, imo. Malibu faltering is very bad news. It's like 1998 all over again. They need to match incentives on the 900's at some point, because after the 13th, I predict they'll be even harder to sell.

    How does the AWD system work? What is the max percentage of torque that can go to the rear wheels under low traction conditions? Is the rear differential a limited slip, either electric or mechanical?
  19. ocnblu
    That's a pretty good idea, sir.

    Elon Musk, pshaw. Sounds like a bad 1970's cologne.

    Well darn it I said this would happen. Launching this car with the ineffective, expensive, space-robbing, CRAPPY eek-assist did nothing but confuse customers. I don't think this is a bad car with the 2.5L, but they blew their marketing wad with the pissy Eco model at launch.
