I think the difference is level of investment and dependency on the trucks and SUVs... full size trucks and and SUVs were apparently a small investment for Toyota, but GM bet the farm on them. GM is/was (Chrysler even more so) far more dependent on profits from full size trucks and SUVs than the Toyota is/was.

NO MANUAL??? Ugh. It's rather pointless without a manual option.
-
The XF is nice, much higher price point than a 3 series, though. For XF money, though, I'd rather have a CLS (style) or an AWD diesel E-class (practicality).

Don't know, but they have made some deliveries...people are registering and driving 'em (at least in the Bay Area), so unless they got an low-volume exemption, they must have.
-
Apples vs. oranges--you can't compare a 3-ton full-size truck to a nimble compact sports sedan. Besides, the BMW gets more than twice the mileage of the truck.
-
Everyone I know that has a 3-series leases em... not 'rich people', just normal upper middle class folk. I'd like to see the CTS offered with a diesel and manual in the US, I'd seriously consider one. I like the 3-series for it's driving dynamics but wouldn't buy one--they are too common, too many pricks and poseurs buy them these days, IMHO (and I'm a former BMW owner)... one of the things I like about the CTS is they aren't as common, not the mainstream choice that the 3-series has become.

From what I've read, I expect Tesla to fold before the end of the year.

Heh-heh... my little farter is a Silkie Terrier...the Westies, Aussie Terrier and the Yorkie puppy don't seem to fart, but the Silkie gets a lot of gas...been changing her diet to incl. baby food (veggies). She's a rescue from a puppy mill, weighed about 7 lbs w/ missing hair spots and other problems 4 years ago, now she's a bit overweight at 14lbs but her coat is beautiful and she's healthy overall. Her name is Tinky (Tinkerbell), and when she is gaseous, I call her Stinky.
-
I had bad gas Sunday. So did one of the terriers. Watching TV, a sleeping dog beside me on the sofa farting in synch w/ me. Priceless.

It's not just the boomers...most people I know of my generation (X) and demographic (software professionals) won't even consider domestics...Jeep is about the only brand that has any traction amongst my friends and colleagues of my generation. Acura/Honda, Toyota, Audi, BMW, Nissan/Infiniti, Subaru, etc get their $$$... I feel very much in the minority for owning and liking Big 3 rides..

I lived there '94-97...it was dying then, probably worse now. Ann Arbor was great, but Detroit looked like a war zone.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe Beats Camaro and Challenger in Power-to-Weight Ratio
Robert Hall replied to Chazman's topic in Hyundai
Though FWD, I'd like to see Honda do a new Prelude.. I really liked the last one (5th gen?). Supposedly, the hybrid CR-Z is going to be built.. -
That's unfortunate... I don't know for sure, but I would think in the US all the competition would have fog lights standard across all trim levels.
-
The Challenger is wider also, I think..though I didn't look up those dimensions. The new Camaro is pretty close to the GTO in size, I think.
-
Looks pretty rusty underneath, though... I'm sure it will appear at Barrett-Jackson or another auction in a year or two full restored and go for serious $$$.
-
It's based on an '84 Dodge Colt Turbo according to the article.
-
Pretty amazing.... if that were just an ordinary LeMans, it would probably go for 1/100th that price...it's in pretty sad shape.
-
Yes...197.7, 116 inch wheelbase. I'd call it a full size coupe...whatever category it is, I love it...really stands out amongst the FWD generica that dominates the car market today.
-
Actually, the Merceds 6.3 V8 came out in '63 in the 600 limo...the 300SEL 6.3 sedan started as a private venture in '66, factory model from '68-72. The 450SEL 6.9 came later, starting in '75.

Bumper Car

$2.75/gal for premium this morning for the 300CE.

I love it..wonderfully retro modern...love the '71 Cuda style touches like the grille and taillights. An AAR style hood would have made it even cooler, though.

SEMA 2008: Mopar Underground Challenger Targa and Blacktop
Robert Hall replied to Intrepidation's topic in S.E.M.A
Both very cool...love how the blacktop has a vintage Challenger badge in the taillight.
