There's a gray '73 Laguna coupe in the back yard at (hopefully) my new place of employment. Haven't had a chance to look at it up close, but it appears in good condition from a perspective of longing.

Seems odd that the car I posted would have been built that late in the decade... I would have guessed '54, or '56 at the latest, as they would have made a big deal about showing off quad headlamps on a concept car at that point, which I believe went into production on a few late '57s, with a boom in '58 after legalization. Anyway, what I love about the car in my photo is that it is still totally recognizable as a Cadillac, yet it is as clean and simple as possible without losing its brand character. Lack of gingerbread adds to a design of integrity.

Nice sweepspear and VENTIPORTS ON TOP of the fenders... who says they don't "belong" there on new Buicks? There is a precedent!

OK, I believe you Drew, but I'm not sure which model, because every 2013 Audi I checked at their US site has either a single player or a console mounted changer. But anyhow, the ATS is a beautiful car. Only thing I see wrong with it is CUE... and thanks to Croc's investigation, a lack of a customer-friendly audio system. As far as doing away with the CD player altogether, it is happening at Chevrolet, with the Spark and the 2013 Sonic with "upgraded" radios at least, if not more models. Not everyone has an I-pod or other device, smrtfone, whatev...

... let's get real... Lincoln did away with the GEAR SHIFT, and they still have a CD player. I don't follow GM's logic on this, except it is a way to cheap out.
-
2013 BMW 335 has a slot, too. In other words, I have not been able to find another car company that is doing away with CD players.

Did the CV have a matching back seat that you could scavenge?
-
How about the 2014 Fiat 500L? It has a CD slot, too.
-
Maybe an NCAP site could yield some answers. That pole test looks like it took its toll, but the frontal test looks good, and Stabilitrak took care of business quite nicely, imo.

No, I'm sorry, these come from a page I subscribe to on YouTube. I guess I could go in and look at the vids on YouTube and see if the results are in the description. I know you and your SO are interested in an Encore.
-
...Nissan's brand new Pathfinder has a CD slot. So does the new Avalon.

Who else is doing away with CD slots, except for General Motors though? I agree with Croc, it is too soon to be doing away with these. I just bought Frank Ocean's Channel Orange...

But look how loooow and absolutely sanitary the later version is. I think the lower hood and the crisp flanks do it justice.

WICKED. That CV seat looks like it's in excellent shape.

Subaru News: Subaru Increases The Amount Of BRZs To The U.S.

This is heartwarming. A fine car deserves to be met with success. -
Insanely gorgeous...

Here are a couple of safety videos featuring the Encore's donor car, the Opel Mokka:

It's a well engineered and presented car, no wonder it is leading the segment.
-
Well I didn't say anything because I assumed you already had a doorstop.
-
I wonder what is keeping the Dart from selling. Is it sticker shock? The base model doesn't even have a/c to keep the advertised base price competitive in the class, I suppose. Shame.
-
jeez, all I hear in here is crickets. where'd everyone go?

Agreed.
