    Saw a dark green Fiat 500L this morning..didn't realize they were out yet...not bad, appears to be approx. Juke sized..

    A nose-heavy FWD car will tend to plow more during braking, upsetting the ride.... a RWD car with better balance should plow less..

    Thanks...having a good one.

    Speaking of the final 9-5s, there were two of them in the Saab class at Colorado Concours de Elegance show I went to a couple weeks ago..kinda visible at the top center-left of this photo of Lotuses..

    That's sharp..I like the interior 2 tone...

    No surprise given that they are out of production models from a defunct brand. Quite the bargains now.

    Galleries (like the one for the new Mazda 3) are very slow to load.

    How about this one..84 mpg with a Passat...http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2012/05/84-mpg-couple-break-mileage-record-with-passat-tdi.html

    Tesla? Yeah, that's the current one...trying to think of the last successful one..probably have to go back over 100 years to Hudson with later merged w/ Nash to form AMC. Or Packard, which had nearly a 60 year run...

    Increase the voltage? I guess what interests me the most is real-world driving range and how does the driving compare with an ICE-powered car. Of course that the "usual" test drive notes on driving dynamics, comfort and amenities would be interesting too And be sure to post a picture album too Real-world drivability is what interests me...does it drive like a normal car? Real world practicality and usability...

    Yeah, I thought the spray everything w/ Armor All approach went out of fashion 20 years ago....though I know people that still do that...ugh.

    Hard to imagine something as blocky and unaerodynamic as a pickup getting these kinds of numbers...seem about 50% too high...

    I wonder if they are building on the battery swap technology that Better Place was working on...

    Within a mile last night I saw a dark red Tesla Model S w/ dark titanium wheels, a white Fisker Karma, a dark red Chevy Volt, and a silver Nissan Leaf. On the electric theme, one of my colleagues at work is getting a Ford C-Max Energi to replace his 250k mile Focus wagon..

    Heard an ad on the radio, new '13 Avengers for $13k...

    I think you would have to go with the Communist Cherry Corporation that just clones everything brought to china from Europe or the US and puts a cherry badge on it. That's actually 'Chery' w/ one 'r'. I wasn't thinking of China, though, they've had dozens of companies started there in recent decades, like the US was around 1910. Nothing of significance outside of China yet. I was thinking of US companies...can't think of anything... if Tesla makes it, it will be quite an achievement.

    This brings up the question--what was the last successful independent automaker that was launched? (not the launch of new brand/division of an existing mfgr or a result of a merger). It's a tough, expensive business to try and survive in..I can think of a few that tried and failed in my lifetime (Bricklin, DeLorean, Fisker, etc)

    There has been talk for years of a longer, larger GC--bring back the Wagoneer name possibly....seems like it would make the Durango redundant..

    Great timing...as I read this article I'm listening to the latest Autoblog podcast and the hosts are debating this very issue--speculating if Dodge will be phased out eventually to be replaced by Fiat....there are points and counter points for each argument. The biggest hole at Dodge currently is a competitive midsize sedan...

    The Cascadia seems like it would be a natural to bring here. I've seen in British car sites that the '14 Insignia is getting the MCE the Regal is getting. I do wonder about the next LaCrosse--if they will develop a larger model shared by Buick and Opel...been a long time since there has been a 'big' Opel.
  22. Robert Hall
    They probably made up the numbers...the whole operation seemed fake.
  23. Robert Hall
    I knew that one wasn't going anywhere..just smoke and mirrors, nothing really there.
  24. Robert Hall
    Hmm
  25. Robert Hall
    I know it's out of character for me (since it's FWD and 4cyl), but I think I could live w/ a Regal..really liking the design.
