Saw an early (82-83 I think) S-10 in what appeared to be mint original condition..long bed, high trim level (chrome bumpers, grille, etc), whitewall tires, light tan/dark tan two tone. Don't see early S-10s in any condition very often.

Good luck w/ the Cruze!

Shortage of household plugs out your way? No, I was thinking of more of the pure EVs...i.e. widespread charging stations, fast charging, etc. Who knows, in 20 years when I'm retired in a beach town or mountain town I might consider one..

It's a targa-topped hatchback coupe.

I wonder if Hyundai/Kia has grown too fast in their pursuit of becoming the next Toyota, and have perhaps cut corners?

Alas, BMW is about 'joy' now (they dropped 'The Ultimate Driving Machine' tagline). A FWD entry line seems like a cynical branding ploy to achieve volume amongst lame posers who want the brand cachet but not the substance. Most of FWD 1-series will probably be 4cyl automatics (at least in NA where too few people are capable of driving a manual). Most of the RWD 3-series, 5-series, and all of the 7-series are automatics too... True...but at least they are still RWD. I've never understood why Americans don't like manuals, but I have no problem w/ refined automatics, esp. in luxury cars (was the 7 series ever offered w/ a manual? (answered my own question--apparently yes--the first 3 generations were offered w/ a 6 and a manual, probably Europe only). meh, 90% of drivers don't care if they are RWD or not. Most think their 3-series is FWD anyway. 90% of drivers are beneath contempt, so FWD mediocrity is enough for them. I have no interest in being amongst 'the general public'.

At least BMW still builds M models.. it will probably be a hit for them, though. Anyway, the ELR seems like it could be successful for Cadillac (supposedly will be under $50k I read somewhere) if it looks 90% as dramatic as the Converj..I wonder if we will see any conventional hybrids from Cadillac?

Love it. Love it. Love it...esp. the rear end. And the size.

That thing is sick. It's half luxury, half gangsta. Hopefully it morphs into the RWD flagship that''s supposedly in the pipeline. [ Love the design..esp. the front end and rear end. Now picture it with a roof, with a rear window pointed in the middle ala first gen Eldo...this design would be great for a flagship sedan and convertible above the XTS.

No press release for the other model.. Yet It's the Ciel. Very cool large 4dr convertible concept. Cadillac Ciel

AUGGGGGGHHHHH....another haboob!! Windy and dusty outside now

IIRC, this was posted here several months ago..there was a discussion of the design and strange comparison to a Corvair Spyder.

Yesterday felt humid. Looking forward to October...

Ward's auto is wrong; the 2.0 diesel used in our Cruze produces 163PS. I think that translates into more than 147hp SAE. 163PS translates to approx 161HP according to one calculator site.

Autoblog: BMW Confirms Plans for Front Wheel Drive Models Inside Line: BMW Front Wheel Drive Prototype Spied Apparently, the i3 is different from those and will be rear-engine, RWD like the Smart fourtwo...the i3 is evolution of the MegaCity concept. From what I've read, the FWD models will be the next gen 1 series 4drs and hatches (and maybe a 0 series below those), while the 2 series coupe and cabrio will be RWD. Sounds like between the i sub-brand, the '0' series, the splitting of the 1 series into 1 and 2, BMW will be adding at least 1/2 dozen or more models in the next few years....and MB will probably add 1/2 dozen or more, filling in the various gaps and creating new niches (how about 2dr coupe CUVs?

Old news....

I bet the ELR won't look much like the Converj either...

Mercedes (note the spelling) has shown the A-class concept...

Why not? Cadillac has plenty enough 4drs.

I wonder if the new concept car will be a hybrid compact hatchback? Something to compete w/ the Lexus CT...or a V-series version of the tiny 2dr microcar that was shown a while back (a Spark based city car, maybe?)

Lovin' the '76 Coupe de Ville. The '58 is pretty sweet also.

Sounds like they get out of alignment easily. Weak FWD appliances.
