I've changed the ad format

I see VW is taking the Ford route of a Crossover for every purse or purpose.

Of course they are. Subaru is.

They didn't on the Regal

What's odd to me is that there are some vehicles that get well under the rating and some vehicles that blow the rating out of the water.

Woah, they really did make it trail rated!

Yes, the 2.5 is suppose to improve upon the 2.4's fuel economy. However, the way they gear the car has more say in the final MPG numbers.

Question.... will this Patriot make it up the roller ramp like the Subi did or will it sit and spin like the CR-V?

can I get a little hand swish with that too?

I'm more an Ambassador kinda guy.... I'm sure you never would have guessed.

you are what you eat

I got 51mpg and 49mpg in a Cruze Eco on two long trips. The second time I had two additional people and a trunk full of luggage.

like in what way? it will be 200hp most likely

A 6-series is a 7-series coupe, not a 5-series coupe.

Why can't people who want luxury also want to save gasoline? There are LOTS of wealthy people out there who are also environmentalists. Whether or not you agree with the environmentalism, Cadillac should offer a vehicle to people who do think in such terms. Cadillac knows they aren't going to sell a bunch of these each month. That isn't the point. This is a halo car for Cadillac in the same way the Volt is a halo car for Chevy. Halo cars don't always have to be the fastest things out there to be halo cars.

Toyota is still alive today because of the halo they've crafted around the Pruis.

Could Cadillac make a RWD Voltec ATS? Most likely. Could they get it out next year? Unlikely.

Just like with the XTS thread, people keep forgetting that Cadillac needs models now not 4 years from now. Just because the models they are presenting now aren't your personal ideal doesn't mean they won't sell. One just needs to look at the SRX for proof of that.

It is almost exactly 1 month till the ATS reveal and 6 months till production launch. People who don't like the ELR or XTS can get their jollies then.

And to think, I wanted my CTS in this color as well. I'll take it!

The Turbo Verano will be well over 210hp. More like 225 minimum.

I hope GM does the same with the Avalanche, but I have a feeling it won't

My favorite LH outside of the first gen LHS. I remember poking around under the hood of one and thinking how small the engine looked in such a large engine bay. Do you know if they take turbo-charging well? It seemed there was room for it.

I always liked the Eagle Vision. I thought that it was the one Chrysler LH car to go up against the looks of the hot (at the time) Pontiac Bonneville.

The integration of the navigation system and HVAC controls in the center console looks cheap. The rest of the interior looks quite nice.

The SE center stack for comparison

is there anything actually Duesenburg about the style or design?

Samsung Galaxy SII

very happy with it

I need to upgrade my desktop real soon

Hmmm....how about a FWD pickup?

Thanks everybody. I'm thinkin' it's pretty snazzy. Can't add it to the C&G garage, model year only goes up to 2011.

It's a shame you don't know who to email about that.....
