Lol that old compass was terrible. I have a Quick Drive review of the new one coming.

Yeah, except for one ad unit that I shut off last week that I need to replace and bring back, I don't intent to increase the overall number of ads on the site. I may move them around a bit. I don't want to do pop-ups or page overs (the ones that take over the whole screen and you can't see anything). A friend of mine runs a very popular travel related website and a good 50% of his content is just the deals that he posts which he gets a kickback from. Now, I don't see us getting anywhere near that level of deals vs. news, but he makes incredibly good money doing it Has a staff and a flat in Manhattan) ... so if I can just get to a fraction of what he's getting out of it, then I'd be more than happy.

My cat is on there too... but most of those, the ones not tagged with Ad, are actually links back to CheersandGears... so that must be some thread on the site somewhere.

Erm... those are based on your browsing history. But thanks for your input on the rest.

What didn't you understand?

Two questions for the community - 1. Would you like/not mind/dislike/hate an an article stream where I posted coupon codes and other automotive related deals? These would be targeted specials and C&G would get a kickback if you used the coupon code. Those of you who are premium subscribers would still see the deals even though you are exempted from other advertising. 2. How would you feel about me installing an AdBlock detector? I know many of you use Adblock, as does an increasing amount of our guest traffic. Our falling ad revenues reflect that (whitelist us maybe? I don't run intrusive ads). If ads do bother you a lot, would you consider purchasing a subscription. If not, can you tell me why or what I can do to make the subscription better?

These have always been an attractive little package and they sell well.. I wonder how Kia will advance it without ruining the original sauce.

I still maintain that most of what has been holding back EV/PHEV sales is lack of choice and until very recently, lack of range. It's no surprise that the most successful EVs are also the ones with the best range and multiple configurations. I still can't get a pure EV with AWD unless I go to Tesla. Most of the german PHEVs have too short a range to bother with them, they just aren't cost effective. The Volt has better range, but limited utility being a smallish 4-seater. I'm an American damnit! I want it all... a roomy AWD pure EV that can go 250+ miles between charges and looks good doing it.... oh, and leases for no more than $450 a month. Is that so much to ask? Bake that recipe, and they'll fly off the lots.

The Bolt EV also did not go on national sale until late August / Early September.

That can't be right. It first showed up in Cadillacs and then the Lacrosse. It goes with the new transmissions, not the older 6-speed autos

I"m not so sure... the GLA is selling kinda okay. It won't be a total flop, but Benz at least has the CLA FRONT WHEEL DRIVE sedan and A-Class FRONT WHEEL DRIVE Sedan to platform share with. BMW is rebadging this into Mini-Coopers, but that volume is pitiful. yes I'm trolling my own site.

They're even showing off the front wheel drive!

I'm particularly amused by this pic...... .... as if! HA

Perhaps in future there will be compatibility, but right now, the super charger stations only work with cars that the station recognizes. I don't know if they read the VIN or what.Bespoke chargers that only serve one brand of car are going to stop making sense very soon, particularly on a scale such as this.If you unclench a bit, you might be able to get those batteries out.... Have some chocolate, it might help.
Yes, the CT6 will do that. It also keeps a running recording of a few minutes of video and will save the video if the car is in an accident.Aw, I'm sorry your date got away last night Ocn...
