    I believe there is no chance of that. But it is being made to be more flexible downward in size so that it can be used more readily in Europe under other brands.

    My impression is the LX will lose some bulk in the next generation, so that could put it more in line with the Lacrosse and ES. It also plays in that price class a bit better than a 200 based car would. Though, I also believe the 300 is a strong player (in hardware if not in sales) in that market already.

    I think killing the Avenger would be a bad move. It is what Dodge needs to combat the Fusion and Sonata. The 200 should aim for the Regal/Verano, TSX, and more distantly the coming A3 Sedan.

    This could be what happened to the apparently canceled ATS Convertible

    All of the cars this year, not just the ATS, look tremendously better in person.

    Not saying I could have gone through the snow in that video, but the recent freezing rain + snow we had over the weekend wasn't difficult for me in the Toronado.. and I don't have snow tires.

    A3.5? It is 6 inches longer than the A3 (thus 175"), making it about 10 inches shorter than the 185" A4.

    Where are they being built? I don't have a problem with this as it keeps resale of the Equinox higher and helps to keep it out of rental fleets.

    HAARP? I didn't feel anything from the solar blast... did you?

    Animaniacs?

    Water in fuel?

    Or you have to like how the Volt drives. I happen to like the "silent 99% of the time" aspect of it in a daily driving routine.

    The White one is where I really see it. The other colors, not so much.

    1. The battery shape would need to be changed. 2. Yes there is room for it. 3. It would probably end up being a more space efficient design than can be done in the LAX.

    From a U.S. perspective, I hope that the Buick projects that Holden is working on make it to the U.S. as well. There is room above the Lacrosse for a big Buick

    On the Enclave, you can really see a bigger toothier grill... I think it will look really handsome. The Acadia looks like it will open its mouth more to look more like its big brothers.

    The threshold for who is included and who isn't is rather nebulous. Mazda was sometimes counted in Ford's total, sometimes not. Hyundai and Kia report their numbers seperately even though Hyundai owns 51%. Nissan/Renault often report their numbers together and sometimes seperate depending on which way is more convenient.

    Actually, the Renault Clio V6 Renault Sport (what a mouthful!) is mid-engined and rear-wheel drive, so those vents actually cool the engine which is behind the front seats. The same is also true for the Renault 5 Turbo balthazar posted. Wow! How French!

    Make sure you take pics and upload it to the garage!

    The news programs out there reporting that your Volt will burst into flames if you sneeze wrong certainly don't help. Even one of the car guys here at work thought that the Volt would catch on fire without being involved in an accident. Just goes to show how widespread the misinformation about the Volt is.

    Someone took the Chrysler/Mercedes-Benz merger a bit too far.

    Gm had included numbers from these two chinese subsidiaries for years. It's a bit late to be crying foul now.

    That would be nice... but the Japanese don't want NAFTA into their country. They only want NAFTA out. That is the big reason people on all sides are opposed to Japan joining the TPP trade agreement. Japan wants all of the benefits of exports but doesn't want to allow imports. It isn't just GM, Chrysler, and Ford protesting this.

    This. One of the things I notice about the DSG in the Beetle was how low in the RPM band the transmission keeps the engine during normal driving. It was like there was an invisible line at 2,050 rpm that the computer didn't want to cross. However, at high end highway speeds, it could have used another gear to continue to keep RPMs low.

    .... we have NAFTA with those other countries.
