2016 CES: Chevrolet Bolt, Now in Production Form! :Comments
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in CES
And like the i3 it has a crap range and it was limited to one state for sale so again not an apples to apples comparison here. Keep the excuses coming though. The M-B B-class electric is currently sold in 11 states. -
2016 CES: Chevrolet Bolt, Now in Production Form! :Comments
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in CES
There was some talk of this and CES and the gameification angle on a daily tech news podcast I listen to. The hosts consistently called it the 'Volt'. -
Got to have 'X' in the name for it get attention...
-
Production versions of a Ciel full size 4dr convertible and Elmiraj hardtop coupe would go along way towards making Cadillac really stand out again.. if M-B can build 2dr ht coupes, why can't Cadillac? Sure, build lots of 4cyl X* CUVs for the mass market lux volume, but build some bold low volume, high end models also...

Well, they do have a LWB 3 series sedan in China.

Infiniti News: 2017 Infiniti Q30 To Be Renamed QX30 For U.S. Market
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Infiniti
Most crossovers don't have AWD standard...they have the look, not the function. The 'X' means crossover and extra plastic cladding, really just tall wagons with slightly more ground clearance... -

Got to jump in the compact lux CUV niche while it's hot... -
With Axl, Slash, Duff, etc? Hell hath frozen over...

Definitely convertible weather here, 60s and sunny today. But down in the 30s at night...

All I know is in 8 years w the Jeep in Colorado I replaced the battery twice, and at least 5 times now in the last 7 years in the desert.
-
Dead battery in the Jeep. Called AAA, got here in 20 min. Checked the paperwork, battery less than 2 years old (18 months is the normal lifespan here). Free replacement since still under warranty.

My sister and I joke about being twins separated by 13 years..we are so alike in so many ways, personality, interests, etc. Our older brother, though, may as well be from a different planet..we are so different and incompatible.

Since I've been on staycation since last Thursday, I've had great sleep...been able to stay up till 10:30 or 11 and sleep in until 7-7:30 (still dark then). It's great not getting up at my normal 5-5:30 during the work week.
-
Or they could follow an Audi approach w/ a CT5 coupe and CT4 sedan. This leaves room for a CT0, CT1, CT2, and CT3 below...

My furnace went out a couple weeks ago...was fun to go to sleep when it was 73 in the house, wake up at 3am w/ the A/C blowing cold and it down to 62...turned it off, woke up in the morning to 59 degrees inside. Got it repaired, but had a night without the furnace at all as they had to wait on a part...
-
I like a lot of British TV also...as far as the cold case/murder genres, the UK crime shows are better IMO than the US ones....I like Waking the Dead (not to be confused with The Walking Dead zombiefest) in particular. Also Sherlock, New Tricks, George Gently ('60s set Northern England crime show), Broadchurch, River (recent short run show w/ Stellan Skarsgard), Wallander (filmed in Sweden w/ Kenneth Branaugh). The recent Amazon series Bosch was excellent also, derived from Michael Connelly's long running novels.

It took me a couple tries to get into it, but I found it fascinating. I've watched NCIS and Criminal Minds, but I find shows like that to be boring, predictable, formulaic...the writing, acting, cinematography, locations and story hooked me on Breaking Bad...the epic tale of one broken man's rise from obscurity to criminal mastermind... I like the prequel series 'Better Call Saul' also.

We FINALLY get wintery Quebec weather tomorrow. SNOW FREAKIN' STORM! Give me a HELL YEAH! 25-40 CM or in Yank speak...10-15 inches of pure Canadian snow! Living in the desert the last 8 winters, I kind of miss the big, dry snows I lived with on the Front Range in Colorado. 3 feet, close to 4 feet in 2-3 days in fall or spring, then 50-70 degree days and melting... I thought I was having a grand 'ol time when this El Nino stuff delayed the white stuff. Then I thought about it... when the 24th and 25th came and went....a green Christmas sucks big time. I hate the snow when it arrives, but I miss it when it aint present when its supposed to be present. I am sooooooo looking forward to this snow storm. And the province of Quebec issued an alert for the Montreal region. We rarely get a provincial warning...even when a snow storm is mentioned...so this one should be a biggie...and I cant wait for it to start! Desert? Las Vegas is where you call home now? Phoenix. Been out here since '08, lived in Colorado (Colorado Springs then Denver) from '97-08. But I'm originally from Ohio, lived in NE Ohio and SE Michigan, so I'm familiar with the fun of 'lake effect' snow..

I always take off the week between Xmas and New Years..sometimes to go out of town, sometimes to enjoy a staycation and rest. The weather has been great here the past week, highs in the 50s-60s and lows in the mid 30s. Some rain and overcast.. Just hanging out w/ the furkids, watching some British TV, catching up on sleep..
-
Hmm...you like medium blue 4dr trucks w/ very little chrome. I'd want brown or dark red w/ chrome.

Apparently the hatch coming to the US.. Honda seems to have stuck w/ only boring trunked Civics here for a decade or so... Edit: found this article on R&T, with lots of pics of the Euro spec model http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/g6191/this-is-the-euro-honda-civic-thats-headed-to-america/

One of my coworkers bought one a few months ago...seems quite nice as a passenger...I've ridden in it to lunch and back a couple times a week, lots of legroom front and back. Seems well detailed inside and decent materials. Doesn't feel cheap like other recent Nissans I've been in. The exterior is distinctive, though it looks a lot like the Rogue from certain angles.

Leaving work this afternoon, saw an eclectic mix, not unusual for Scottsdale. A slammed white Audi S5 coupe followed by a sharp dark blue w/ white interior '66 Buick Electra ragtop, top down (even though it's overcast and 56), followed by a slammed bright blue Audi S4 sedan. Then in the opposite direction a mile or so later, an orange McLaren P1 side by side with a red Mercedes AMG GT coupe. Then closer to home in Phoenix, I saw a dark bronze Aston Martin Rapide..
