    Here is a rather weirdly optioned 1983 Cadillac Cimarron 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual, AM-Radio no cassette, leather interior, remarkably preserved..... and about $5,300 overpriced. http://fw.to/6rfxvqd

    I meant that it might not work out as well in the smaller displacements you proposed. 2.0T sized pistons running in a smaller 3 cylinder.

    but those configurations may not have met other requirements for refinement. the latest 2.0t is a model of smoothness that I really enjoy.

    GMTruckguy, have you ever gone to R.W. Tire in Bordentown. My family used them for years and always felt like we got treated fairly there. That's where I always bought tires and other maintenance for my first cars when I lived in Hamilton.

    I doubt Infinit wants to get into the taxi cab market to compete with the S-Class... after all, Nissan already sells the NV200.

    A 3.0tt with 550hp? A 3.7tt with 700? Seems high.

    it just doesn't turn your crank?

    Buckle up! Edit: One thing I can point out.... in "normal" mode, you will experience what will feel like turbo lag on a sharp stab of the accelerator. It isn't turbo lag, it is the transmission trying to be frugal while you're trying to have fun. Sport mode removes this inconvenience... and then you really do need to buckle up.

    Probably can be over-built relatively easily.

    All of the Passats I've driven have felt vault solid.... the only time I was ever disappointed with one was when the 2.5 had taken up residence under the hood like a rabid raccoon.

    Asian style chicken noodle soup with little shrimps also hidden in there...... I don't eat shellfish.

    A Plug-in electric with on-board regenerator would be an excellent option for Rolls customers. Lots of low end torque long with silent running are a Rolls specialty.

    GM has the 410hp Twin-Turbo V6 available in the V-Sport model.... it's got a lot of spank. Pretty much negates the need for a V8 unless you are going for V-Series type extremes.

    And the naming convention no longer makes sense either. CTS the S stood for "sedan" until the CTS Coupe and CTS Wagon came out, but CTC and CTW don't roll off the tongue well. Now there is an ATS Coupe coming out.

    I just want to do it right since I only intend to do it once. Since we're funding the whole thing ourselves, I need to put money away for it.

    I have three little letters that are the biggest reason to be against franchise laws: ADM

    Heh. Thank you, but you're about 3 years too late. The whole thing was a mistake on Albert's part. He accidentally deleted me from his Facebook friends list and when he re-added me we had to re-establish that part of our profiles as well. To those of you wondering... Albert and I are engaged...and have been for some time.

    I think adults would buy an AWD Camaro if they live in an area where AWD is an advantage for year-round driving. For many people who need a year-round car, not having AWD available in a RWD car means the car gets crossed off the list.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    That's why I suggested that at 80k units, a 30% take rate would put it over 100k... some of those would be sales to people who would have bought anyway, but I think you would have a large jump in sales in the northern states.

    All of this chafe at the idea of adding an option to the camaro that would broaden its appeal without watering down the core of the car at all. Are you *that* afraid of change?
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Even a 30% take rate in awd could push camaro sales to over 100k units a year from the 80k they are selling now.
  25. Drew Dowdell
    Those that fail to evolve in a changing market, die. The Camaro already died once, want to see it happen again? The Eclipse died because it gained weight, lost AWD and the excellent 2.0t.
