So PM me applications.

Well I traded a few emails with Robyn at Cadillac today and everything we already knew was confirmed. Also, unspoken but naturally, the Aisen 6-Speed auto is gone along with the turbo. I took a drive up to the dealer where I bought my '04 CTS to take an SRX 3.0 out for a spin, so my impressions of that will be included in the review. I also got a little bit of insider information on upcoming engines that I just want to confirm.

really..... interesting..... go on..... and before you get upset at anyone for harassing you... I want to point out: You did give us permission.

Due to strong and continued consumer demand for Audi premium vehicles, 2010 marked the best year Audi has ever enjoyed in the U.S. market. The new Audi record resulted from record performances in all three U.S. regions. In December 2010, Audi reported sales of 10,546 vehicles, a 16.8% increase over the 9,030 vehicles sold in December 2009. For the full year of 2010, Audi new sales rose nearly 23% versus its prior full-year total of 82,716 vehicles sold in 2009.

Additionally, clean diesel sales continued to reflect the surging demand for fuel-efficient models as the Audi A3 TDI accounted for nearly 53% of vehicles sold in the Audi A3 line. “For Audi, 2010 was a groundbreaking year,” said Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen. “Audi is one of the best performing franchises in the business today. Consumers respond favorably to superior engineering, efficient performance, and differentiated styling, and that’s what they see in Audi.” The setting of an all-time U.S. sales record in 2010 clearly signals that Audi’s powerful brand momentum will build throughout 2011.

Porsche Reports Significant Sales Increase for 2010 Strong Results Buoyed by Healthy Demand for New Cayenne and Panamera ATLANTA, January 4, 2011—Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars, Cayenne SUVs and the Panamera Gran Turismo line-up in the United States, today announced December sales of 2,567, a 21 percent increase compared to the same period last year when it sold 2,118. December’s results signify Porsche’s best closing month since 2008 and represent the German car company’s seventh straight month in which it recorded double or triple digit monthly sales increases over the previous year. With December’s strong finish, Porsche ended 2010 with total sales of 25,320—an increase of 29 percent ahead of 2009 when it sold 19,696 new cars in the U.S. "2010 represents a very positive step forward for Porsche, and demonstrates the brand’s regained vitality in its biggest car market in the world," said Detlev von Platen, PCNA’s President and CEO. "We are confident to be able to build on this momentum moving forward into the new year.” Indeed, much of Porsche’s 2010 sales success can be attributed to the continuing market momentum of its Panamera Gran Turismo.

With 2010 being its first full year of availability, the Panamera achieved annual sales in the U.S. of 7,741.

This past month, the company sold 1,109 Cayennes compared to last year when sales were 707, an increase of 57 percent. From a historical standpoint, the introduction of the new Cayenne line-up included the German automaker’s first hybrid-powered production vehicle, the 2011 Cayenne S Hybrid--which went on sale last November. While the overall sports car sector continued to be challenging throughout 2010, Porsche maintained its relative market share strength.

Daimler AG Reports a 5.5 Percent Increase for Mercedes-Benz and smart Vehicles in the U.S. for December 2010 -- Mercedes-Benz USA Records December Sales of 21,469 Vehicles - an Improvement of 7 Percent over December 2009 and the highest month for 2010 -- smart USA Records 570 Sales in December 2010 NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Daimler AG (stock exchange abbreviation DAI) today reported U.S. sales of 22,039 Mercedes-Benz and smart vehicles, an improvement of 5.5 Percent compared to December 2009. All sales figures in this release are on an unadjusted basis unless otherwise noted. Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) reported December sales of 21,469 vehicles, its highest monthly volume of the year. 20,090 passenger cars, light truck vehicles and 1,379 Sprinter vans are included in this total. This brings the company's sales total for 2010 to 225,007, an increase of 18% over 2009. Ernst Lieb, president and CEO of MBUSA said: "Despite the challenges of a slow recovery, we see good indicators in terms of our sales volume throughout the model range. This is certainly due in large part to the customer-directed efforts we've undertaken here at MBUSA over the past few years and the extraordinary commitment of our retail network to provide an unmatched ownership experience. As virtually all third-party indicators show, customers are confident about the Mercedes-Benz brand and we think that will translate to even stronger momentum going forward."

Rounding out the top three volume lines was the popular M-Class SUV which posted monthly sales of 3,783 bringing its annual volume to 29,698, a 15.1 % increase over last year. Sales at the high end continued strong for 2010 with the commanding G-Class up 38.8 % for the year and the flagship S-Class sedan up 21.5 %. The company sold 48 of its top-of-the-line supercar - the SLS AMG – in December, bringing its annual total to 499. smart USA recorded 570 sales in December 2010, a month-over-month sales increase of 170 percent from November 2010.

New models in 2011 are predicted to increase Subaru's sales in the U.S. still further. "We are well poised for future growth and records," said Timothy M. Colbeck, senior vice president of sales, Subaru of America, Inc. "Our products, dealer network and brand are at their best ever and as the industry recovers we are in great position to capitalize even further." Thomas J. Doll, executive vice president and COO, Subaru of America, Inc said; "As we close a record setting 2010 with an exclamation point, we need to be mindful to thank our retailers, distributors, our manufacturer, and of course, all of our employees for making these results possible. 2010 was a strong year for our brand, yet Subaru still has a lot of upside potential and we are looking forward to another record-setting year in 2011."
