  1. Note to self, don't post articles while exhausted without letting someone else read them first....
  2. I have a number of new features planned for CheersandGears.com for 2015. The first new feature comes to us from long time member Balthazar. He has cued up trivia questions for us to answer each week. Some weeks, we will be offering prizes to the first to answer all 5 questions correctly. We will reveal the answers to this week's questions in next week's post. In the long-running TV series "Married with Children", what brand/model car was Al Bundy always bemoaning? Name 3 makes of American automobiles that have had special 'Hurst' Editions. In which state was the 'Springfield' Rolls Royce auto built? What was the first model year of the Chevy Bel Air? Which 2 U.S. brands of autos presented "Daytona" models in the 1960s?
  3. CTS jumped $10k in MSRP and had only a 3.8% drop in sales volume... you're right, that is stellar.
  4. I'm surprised about the C-Class. It is easily the best model in years.
  5. Because in spite of increasing the number of models sold in the US, VW sales here have been plummeting. Little Subaru with half the number of models greatly out-sells VW. I still wonder if VW will be able to offer this vehicle at a competitive price or will it be a $30,000 Golf.
  6. The regeneration is like a second brake pedal. The reason you want to control it is because you want to be able to control your rate of deceleration. I sorta do this now with the cruise control, nudging my speed up or down with traffic using my thumb.
  7. Sneak Peak: 2016 Chevrolet Volt
  8. With one week to go before the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the pictures will really start rolling out now. Today we got a much clearer look at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt due to be fully revealed next week. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today, the 2016 Volt peeked its nose through the curtain to give us a better look at it's face. The upcoming Volt will have powertrain improvements rumored to give the EV a 12% gain in electric only range, some of that will come from a more interactive regeneration mode that is currently available on the Cadillac ELR. The regeneration mode is controlled through paddles on the steering wheel. Recently Mark Reuss Vice President of GM Global Platform Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain and Andrew Farah, Volt Chief Engineer took the 2016 Volt out for a spin to discuss the Volt regeneration mode feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXCKarf7s9Y The 2016 Chevrolet Volt officially debuts on Monday, January 12th at 7:35am at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. We will be on hand to bring you all the latest news and developments from the show.
