  1. PCS did say that the Alpha was going to be the Epsilon II of RWD. Only... it looks like it is even more flexible size wise.
  2. I have to say, the ATS just grows on me more and more.... and I liked it to start with.
  3. Yes, but I meant further models... Camaro, a Buick (Riviera on Alpha), Buick (something big on Omega), the Cadillac ZTS (as we are calling it around these parts) on Omega, the 130R is still in the realm of possibility.
  4. uhm... the ATS will be out in Summer?
  5. No need to imagine. The next two platforms coming out are RWD.
  6. Doesn't feel it. I drive Albert's '04 CR-V all the time. Sitting in the new one feels like a full size class larger.
  7. I stand corrected. The CR-V hasn't actually grown at all in length... it just feels like it has.
  8. Well.. the CR-V has grown quite a bit lately. Probably too close in size to the current Equinox to be considered that much of a smaller model. Now if you were talking 2004 CR-V, that would be true.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. This could be what happened to the apparently canceled ATS Convertible
  13. All of the cars this year, not just the ATS, look tremendously better in person.
  14. 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.
  15. A3.5? It is 6 inches longer than the A3 (thus 175"), making it about 10 inches shorter than the 185" A4.
  16. 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.
  17. HAARP? I didn't feel anything from the solar blast... did you?
  18. Animaniacs?
  19. 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.
  20. The White one is where I really see it. The other colors, not so much.
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
