  1. Strange days we live in when a FWD 4cyl car can be considered 'luxury' and advertised at $75k....*head shake*
  2. ??? These are 3 letter names--CLA, CLS, SLS, SLR...pay attention.
  3. The ELR is their Volt coupe, not their Model S. I've only seen one ELR so far in person, in a metro area where I typically see 2-3 Tesla Model Ses in a week...
  4. Totally Disagree with you, my Trailbazer SS handles better than many sports cars. LoL....maybe 50 year old sports cars on bias-ply tires...
  5. My friend w/ the Volt has had his a little over a year now, still loves it...has made several road trips to So Cal and back with it along w/ the daily grind around the Phoenix metro area.
  6. Cool...sort of Range Rover's answer to the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, Merc ML AMG, BMW MX5 or Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
  7. sucks
  8. Better aerodynamics would help..git rid off the tall, blunt front ends and go for something more tapered and sloping... A Ram ProMaster double cab would be cool as an alternative to the monster trucks.. But that is also only FWD which would be a non-starter for 99.9999% of U.S. truck buyers.... no matter how much it would actually meet their needs. Good point.. though some are RWD---I don't know if the new generation is offered both ways, but the previous Ford Transit was offered in FWD or RWD.
  9. 99% of drivers just want something cheap, economical and reliable..they don't care about styling.
  10. Seems like an improvement over the gaudy styling of the current model...the regular current one is ok, but the hybrid model front end is disgusting.
  11. Better aerodynamics would help..git rid off the tall, blunt front ends and go for something more tapered and sloping... A Ram ProMaster double cab would be cool as an alternative to the monster trucks..
  12. It's a boring name, sounds like a trim level, like Chevy's LTZ...'Fleetwood Brougham' would be a much better name, IMO.
  13. Saw a '15 Escalade on the street for the first time a few days ago...has a lot of presence, very striking...
  14. from here
  15. Volts are interesting..a.coworker of mine has had his for a year, still loves it and is a vocal cheerleader for it on volt forums online. The biggest negatives I see about the car is the cramped interior and poor outward visibility.
  16. Just another bland CUV...but the masses love these, so it will sell...
  17. Would be nice, but GM seems to be struggling to survive now.... any budget for niche performance vehicles is probably eaten up by Cadillac, Camaro and Corvette variations... I am surprised their hasn't been a performance version of the Cruze made in any market AFAIK...I would have thought they would have capitalized on it's racing success with a performance model.
  18. The Ampera has been cancelled. With Australia soon gone from the picture with the folding of Holden, I would think European factories have sufficient output for the UK and Ireland..and Thailand handles the RHD Asian truck market. As far as other RHD markets, does GM have any market in India? I would think they would be building Sonics, Sparks or Opel microcars there.. I doubt if there is enough volume in the UK, Ireland, OZ or NZ to make it cost effective to build RHD versions of the Camaro, Corvette or Cadillacs in the US and ship overseas....(RHD FWD appliances for those markets are sourced elsewhere in Europe or Asia).
  19. If the new Lincoln compact CUV is successful, I can see them responding... Merc has the GLA coming, BMW has the X1, Lexus has the NX, infiniti probably has something coming (beyond the strange EX).
  20. 'Murica.
  21. So why don't all those traditionally-car-only companies stick with cars only?? Because they go where the money is...CUVs and SUVs are profit centers...not that there is anything new or surprising about these brands having CUVs or SUVs--they've had them for 10-15 years or more now. Nothing new.
  22. Yes, the short lived McLaren MP4-12C spyder...
  23. From another article I've read it's built on Delta or a modified Delta platform..probably what the NG Equinox/etc will be on.
  24. Had a good one..managed to avoid sunburn and got in quite a bit of pool time along w/ watching racing on TV..
