    and you didn't get pics?! I was on the opposite side of a busy 6 lane street in traffic... but it's only a couple miles from my office, so maybe I'll swing by there tomorrow and try a snag a pic...

    Saw a G8 Sportwagon at a local body shop this afternoon here in Tempe....looked like a G8 front clip on a Holden Commodore wagon body, under construction (had the glass out of it, no paint except on the front clip).

    I suppose the only way they can cut that median price is buy selling a lot more subcompact and compact appliances, since that is what the sub-30k model mix primarily is, along w/ some midsizers.

    Yes, saddled w/ student loans and the worst job market for recent grads in...decades? I remember 1992 when I graduated from college being considered a bad market...part of why I decided to go to grad school back then.

    I wonder when we will see diesel cars from Chrysler in the US.

    I like the exterior and overall size...I don't care for the dash design or steering wheel, too busy and some weird contours.

    Umm, it's August now. There is a new thread for August.

    Saw a homemade 'Avalanche' on the freeway this morning...a worn out red '90s era Suburban was driving along, with the rear roof behind the C-pillars cut off, no tailgate and an open bed with an open rear cab w/ the rear seat visible...weird...

    Well, the Captiva does give them a compact CUV...the Equinox is more of a midsize. It is odd that Chevy isn't retailing anything in the compact CUV market (the Buick is more of a subcompact)..

    Too bad Ford doesn't do a hatchback coupe version of the Fusion...could look interesting.

    Anyway, back on topic, hopefully Cadillac can achieve some management stability here soon and stop shedding execs...

    Ever worked for anything in the mining business? nope...let's see what verticals I've been in over the years... telecom, e-commerce, email software (twice), insurance industry software (twice), aviation (navigation charts and software), banking systems (twice), medical/pharmaceutical-related systems,an electric utility, and now online education. Never done anything automotive (though one of the insurance gigs involved auto warranty-related software)

    I'm sure there is a culture clash between hardware and software... I've never worked anywhere that had hardware products, always been in internet/web software companies or IT software groups that build software to support the company (banks, aviation products, telecom, etc).

    I'm driving my Jeep and the DTS these days, both MY 2000....Jeep at 146k miles, DTS at 105k..going to have to get something new(er) sooner or later, though.

    I mentioned this to my coworker that bought a Volt in June. He thinks it's a good thing, should lead to more sales. He's still happy he bought the 2013 rather than wait on the '14, partially because the color he got isn't available on the '14.

    Sounds like a 'software factory' mentality. Having worked in quite a few software companies (and traditional IT departments of Fortune 500 companies), I've seen a lot over the last 15 years....approaches like like this don't work...

    Sounds also like it could be a clogged fuel filter...I had an issue like that w/ my Mustang GT years ago. When my Jeep had the problem w/ the CPS it didn't throw any codes, just died randomly.

    Could be an in-progress resto..they've spent the money for bodywork and paint first, haven't spent it on the interior yet...I've seen plenty of cars like that.

    I've seen 2 new Impys in traffic this week--one dark blue, one dark red w/ dark titanium wheels.

    Gary Clark Jr 'Blak & Blu' album..

    I've noticed that at the Alamo/National lots I've been to this year at Long Beach, San Diego and John Wayne/OC airports. Less so at Denver. So far this year I've had one Camry and 3 Impala rentals.

    eh... that might be a one off. Probably dealers doing an end-of-the-model-year clearance as the '14s are coming..
  23. Robert Hall
    Yeah, the problem for some buyers is the 328d looks like any other 328 whilst the i3 is distinctive...kind of like comparing the Cruze diesel to the Volt.

    Speaking of obsolete and obscure Mopars, I saw a Dodge 400 coupe in an office parking garage this morning...silver. Haven't seen one of these in forever..
  25. Robert Hall
    Latest I've read is that deliveries to dealers have been delayed again to September at the earliest.
