It's a bit late to draw the line. Modern cars already have black boxes.

It doesn't seem to do much for our roads here....

Yes, he did a review of the 2012 Chevy Cruze LTZ in March.

Gosh, it's an inline 6 but the A/C compressor looks like it is a V2.

hey now... be nice.

The G8 proved nothing about V6 import cars. If you were shopping for a 2008 G8 and could only afford a V6, you were better off looking at a 2007 Cadillac CTS. Same engine, lighter weight by 300lbs, more upscale badge (if you cared), and still great handling. Interiors were just about a wash either way. And somehow, GM managed to screw with the excellent 5-speed automatic so that it performed great in the CTS (as it always had) and yet was a sore spot in the G8. Another kicker for V6 buyers was that the CTS 3.6L V6 could be had with a 6-speed manual transmission while Pontiac's "sport sedan" V6 could only come with the 5-speed auto. Thus, if you really wanted a G8, you bought the V8 version. If you just wanted a RWD car with great handling, but could only afford a V6 or wanted a manual, you bought a CTS.

Well, part of this news that wasn't in the article is that Tesla has been getting lots of private investment.

I believe it has gone back, but there is another one on its way to my place on thursday.

Corporations are people.

uh, I don't think that link is proof of anything.

Should be available in the first year 2015 Camino...

I haven't driven one since the first generation... but I didn't see the hubbub compared to my CTS.

Cheers! A way to drive a luxury car without making the shareholders anxious!

I don't believe the market loves Hyundai styling. I believe it loves the perceived value package.

To be fair, the car is what he wants.... But still no...

More snooze than a Camry

I'm trying to figure you out on this one... you complained of the same thing with the Cruze. The Malibu is about .5 of an inch larger than the fusion in each rear seat dimension except legroom where it is 0.2 inches smaller. It is roughly equal to the Accord all around and again equal to the Passat in every thing except legroom. Slightly bigger than Optima/Sonata...

GMTruckguy noticed in one of the threads that this was my favorite matchbox car when I was a kid and that it had long since been lost. He spotted it at a swap meet and snagged it for me as a gift. He did this a few months ago, but with all of my travels, I haven't been home to take a picture and thank him properly.

If you were closer, I'd drop off my 7 year old Craftsman for a cleaning and tuneup. It always starts on the first or second pull, but the years are starting to catch up with it.

Like? Don't like?

Sounds like you have a nice side business going here....

For my Toronado.... what do you think?

Chevy, if you don't sell it in the largest automotive market in the world you cannot call it a global vehicle. There is a substantial size difference between the Trax and the Equinox. Not selling it here is highly short sighted. There are people out there who don't want something as large as the 'Nox... and straddling either side of the size of the CR-V could be very good for sales.

Well, we'll be continuing the Malibu Eco Interactive Review on Thursday as well.

Time to take some road trips in some Monte Carlos.
