    This is a private device, so I suppose the police would need a court order to use the data... No? In theory, yes..but in practice..

    It's pretty funny and pretty weird to see a Prius given the backyard redneck repair treatment...just seems so out of place.

    Saw a black '14 CTS parked on the street in Old Town Scottsdale tonite...first I'd seen up close off of a dealer's lot..looked sharp. It was later behind me in traffic...love the lighting at night. One small detail I don't like on the new CTS that I notice each time I see one is the grille badge placement...it should be centered vertically in the grille rather than at the top, IMO...the badge at the top of the grille is a Toyota styling cue..

    I assume any videos will also be automatically streamed to the NSA data centers.. I could see this being used by the police to auto-generate tickets.

    True enough, but being an MB they have to have an AMG version... the regular GLA will be the volume model. It is odd to see the AMG badge on a 4 cyl model, though..not really serious enough to be AMG, IMO.

    Some bizzaro stuff there...the stapled steering wheel cover is wild--maybe it was a wheel that someone cut the airbag out of ?

    The reflection of grass and trees could be making it look greenish...I like that gray. One recent Challenger color I like that I noticed the other day is a very dark purplish blue, kind of an indigo..

    Maybe it's a secret recall..

    ^ Interesting..haven't seen either of those models in a dark green...would like to see more dark greens available. Googling turned up a 'Green With Envy' color in 2011 for the Challenger, but it's not very dark.. http://www.cars.com/dodge/challenger/2011/colors

    I've driven a couple of '12 rentals, incl. one from Chicago to Indianapolis and back in May '12. I recall they drove pretty nicely and had more power than the dozen or so previous Impy rentals I'd driven...

    It was only about 45 degrees this morning, but my two coworkers w/ Miatas drove them in to the office w/ tops down. Wore their motorcycle helmets and heavy coats.

    Wow...that's a lot of miles in just 4 years. It took me under 10 years to get my '00 Jeep to 100k, and since then almost 4 more to get to 150k. It's the only vehicle I've ever taken past 100k...

    It is just flaky from the driver side controls? Basically, if you sit in the front passenger seat and operate the window and locks, do they operate reliably? It could just be the driver door switch panel going bad. $45 for a reman on Ebay. I think that is what it is... the door lock button on the driver side controls seems to work intermittently as does the power window switches there...but I have tested from the back seat and passenger seat and they work..

    The door speakers are ok, it's one of the top of the dash ones that's bad..

    Getting close to 150k miles (should be there by next weekend). Been having some old-car gremlins lately...the door locks and power windows work intermittently. The air bag light comes on then goes off after 30 sec or so randomly.

    Hmmm...I've had a similar nightmare involving a Prius.

    I really doubt if many of these will be raced..they will end up in collector's garages or totalled by incompetent drivers.. As far as race cars, this is an actual Camaro race car:

    More like nearly a $40k markup over an SS2 (which starts at $37350). Pretty pricey. I know these kind of massive markups and pricey options are SOP with BMW and Porsche, it's just strange to see Chevy trying to play in that arena w the Camaro..

    It always seems that after seeing a new car for the first time, a few days later they are everywhere. I saw a new Cherokee for the first time on NYE, and then over the last couple days have seen 4 more...white, silver, black, and a dark red w/ black wheels and graphics (Trail Hawk?).

    84k sold for 2012. Probably most were V6s.
  22. Robert Hall
    It's probably intentionally priced high to keep volume as low as possible--maybe production volume is limited for this particular engine (how many Z06s did they build) or to avoid issues w/ CAFE? I thought when they announced the Z/28 revival it was going to be Chevy's equivalent of the '12-13 Mustang Boss 302 which is priced between the GT and GT500..i.e. I assumed it would be between the SS and the ZL1 (which I assumed to the top end model).. I guess they only want to sell a couple 100 of these instead.
  23. Robert Hall
    Same engine as the Z06. I would have thought it would have been priced below the ZL1--which starts around $56k, or at most comparable to the Shelby GT500 in price--- $65k or so. With dealer markup it will probably be pushing $100k...absurd.

    Saw a new Cherokee in the Safeway parking lot this afternoon...silver w/ dark gray lower trim. Didn't see the front, only saw the left side and rear..quite nice, though it doesn't look Jeepish to me--looks like a nice Fiat or Alfa CUV until you see the grille. Also saw a black '14 Corvette w/ a red interior and the targa top off and a silver '14 Camaro SS convertible top down in traffic..
