  1. There is length...look at the size of those doors. I think the huge wheels are screwing up size visual and making the car appear smaller than it is. this is flagship material for Lincoln.
  2. If the judge reverses that bankruptcy thing, there are other issues out there brewing aside from the ignition switch recall that could hurt GM.
  3. that's already in the works. The V6 is just the first release.
  4. I see a bit of Bentley and Jaguar, yet it is distinctly American. Bravo!
  5. Why must the CTS start with the 3.6 base when the 5-series and A6 both start with turbo-4s... and much less powerful ones at that...
  6. If the 3.6 is not your cup of tea... there is going to be a 400 hp 3.0TT offered in the CT6. It says so right in the article...I know because I wrote it. What's the problem with having choices?
  7. As I expect it will look exactly like the current RAV-4 I don't know what the point of them releasing "teaser pictures" is. I'm surprised they are going to the expense of a NYIAS press conference for it.
  8. There is one running around Pittsburgh also
  9. Is there a sport mode in the transmission? Try that and see what happens to the shift points.
  10. The 500x must be a squished 500L then.... the L looks taller
  11. The truth is that the vast majority of drivers aged out of the warranty long before 100k miles. Less than 12,000 miles a year is pretty typical for most people.
  12. I think the Passat needs more than a new front clip and new tail lights to be less boring.
  13. Also, I think the 500X is smaller than the 500L
  14. I haven't noticed any turbo-lag in my tester, and yes newer 500Ls do have a six-speed automatic. Although I have found that the programming is somewhat screwy as the transmission tends to hold onto gears much longer that I think it should. I have an update tomorrow on some first impressions. How is road/engine/wind noise at speed? The Fiats I've driven have been loud.
  15. So Benz is going to throw a ton of aluminum at the E-class just to get it to be ~50 lighter than the still mostly steel CTS?
  16. I was really hoping for more from the XF.... the look really doesn't do much for me.
  17. I'd like to see them do a Jeep Grand Cherokee style competitor before they do a 7-seater. After they get that going, extend it to a 7-seater also if needed.
  18. Well, I don't see anything about the transmission, so I don't think it is a 2-mode in that respect.
  19. Good to hear that everything went well!
  20. I just wish GM had something in the sport compact car arena period. Closest they get is the Verano Turbo... and that is more like a compact sports tourer than a sports car.
  21. It's the same displacement, not the same engine. Had you actually read the article, you would know that.
