    I'm sure you're right, but I'll never understand that mentality. I'd much rather wait and get precisely what I want. This sure seems like an intentional limiting of production. it is true. when people come shopping, they are most times buying very quickly. if not that day, usually within like a week. 'scratch the itch' Yes. I couldn't imagine waiting 90 days for a new car. I could see figuring out the configuration I wanted online and then having the dealer find me one and that taking a week or so. Though at some point in my life, I'd really like to do one of those order the car, go to Germany and pick it up, drive it around Europe, then ship it home deals...have a few friends that have done that.

    1985, IIRC. Though there was the Reatta after that, based on a shortened E-body platform.. The Cascada is one Opel that seems like it would be a natural fit w/ Buick.

    Interesting...so this is a new pushrod V6.

    I haven't seen one of the '80s AMC Renaults in ages...can't recall the last time I saw one.

    Interesting.

    Which, from GM's standpoint (not the dealers'), is quite dumb to offer... That would mean the return of GM's old school cannibalization again... Then again, I have long thought GMC was pointless and redundant... never understood the need for two overlapping truck brands.

    Happy Birthday!

    Saw a white '14 Grand Cherokee on the freeway this morning...didn't realize the '14s were out yet. New headlights are a bit garish w/ the light pipes.

    Chevy dealers have probably wanted one of these for years to keep buyers away from GMC dealers.

    Chevy needs to keep the Equinox the size it is as a midsize CUV and add subcompact (Trax) and compact CUVs below it, to line up better w/ Toyota, Hyundai, Honda, etc.

    Nice interior...Chevy has needed a King Ranch and Denali competitor for a while. Edit: couldn't recall the name of the Ram equivalent--thought it was Bighorn but found it is Laramie Longhorn.

    I like the quad light XJ Wagoneer headlight arrangement, with the horizontal bar grille. Haven't seen one of these in years..

    If you go w/ the bling headlights, you need some of these for the rear.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-01-Jeep-Cherokee-BLK-Altezza-Tail-Lights-Brake-Lamps-LED-Daytime-Fog-Lamps-/190823037719?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AJeep%7CModel%3ACherokee&hash=item2c6df07b17&vxp=mtr

    It sounds like it's part of their plan to limit volume as much as possible.
  15. Robert Hall
    Has GM announced an order date or on-sale date yet? No mention of the SS on the US Chevy site under cars..

    How about this 2005 Chinese-market one..unusually tall grille.
  17. Robert Hall
    I'm not sure why you would want a worn-out Jeep when you have a nice newish Charger also.

    It's the aspirational CUV of women in suburbia nationwide. Combine the Toyota reliability reputation + Lexus accoutrements + the coveted 'L' on the nose = sales gold.

    May Day is electric and hybrid day so far... saw two Tesla roadsters w/ tops open, a black Tesla Model S, a Leaf, a dark red Fisker Karma, 3 Lexus HS250hes, a 1st gen Honda Insight (badging removed and a Transformer badges added along w/ 'ASU' in chrome letters on the rear) and my coworker's new silver Honda Insight (replaced his silver Civic Hybrid that got totalled recently).... all within a 1/2 mile of my office.

    Studebaker had a Scotsman car as well...I guess the name was from the stereotype of Scots being thrifty. Didn't know they used that name on trucks also.
  21. Robert Hall
    Yes, interesting to look at the numbers...in the March YTD numbers both the Malibu and Cruze are in 4th place in their respective classes..

    If Google and Toyota eventually offer a self-driving version of the iQ, xB, or Prius that will probably get the youfs, esp. if it packed w/ entertainment electronics...
  23. Robert Hall
    I wonder how low the volume of the Infiniti QX is...oddly, I see a fair number of them, more than the Lexus LX....my next door neighbor has one..
  24. Robert Hall
    I wonder if the next Forte will have a Koup version also.. Nice to see a few car makers (Hyundai, Kia, Honda, Toyota) still offer coupe versions of their FWD compacts, considering the Big 3 gave up on them.
  25. Robert Hall
    Since the Cruze is an international model, I'd expect similar styling cues to the Spark, Sonic and Malibu....remember the Impala is NA only and thus goes it's own way styling wise...
