    I think he was joking

    Well yea, the replacement for the avenger has to be a Grand Cherokee level of good.

    The 200 shouldn't be a sales leader. I'm guessing (and hoping) that Chrysler is not aiming for Camry or even Fusion like sales volumes for this car... that is Dodge's job. Let it be the smaller, posher, mid-size car that sells on content rather than cheap subsidized leasing. They'll sell fewer of them, but at a higher transaction price and a higher margin.

    If the other things are relatively equal.

    I put the wipers up on all of the vehicles stored outside.... expecting 4" - 6" tomorrow.

    Would you make a major life decision based on something as petty as front license plates?
  7. Drew Dowdell
    The Verano and lower end Regal (maybe even higher end Regal) are going to be the natural competition for this car. I see people online comparing it to the Fusion... but I get the impression that this is a smaller vehicle.... not Fusion sized. Chrysler may be taking a "content over size" tack with this car. It doesn't need to be the largest in the segment, but it needs to be posher inside than a normal mid-size.

    I figured out my mistake. Vauxhall builds LHD Opels for export to Australia and New Zealand.
  9. Drew Dowdell
    eh, apparently I was wrong... but I'm sure I saw Opels there before.

    Chrysler often gives 2 screen size options. This could be the smaller one. I have to say, I like the look. It moves the car up a lot in the looks department and it's finally not a gaping mouth design.
  11. Drew Dowdell
    Then Vauxhall should go too. They already sell Opel in the UK, no need for both.

    My guess is that it has more to do with production capacity rather than anything else. GM thought they would be pushing a lot of existing buyers to the 285 hp 4.3 liter instead of them all opting for V8s like they have been... and they're betting that soon... any day now... customers will wake up and see the light and buy the V6. .... any day now... edit - It probably also lets them claim that they have a mid-size truck with over 300 horsepower.

    GM is in line to sweep both categories.
  14. Drew Dowdell
    Interesting take. I would say that the CT200H already competes in this space and was actually there before Mercedes was. I doubt most CLAs sell exactly at base price and typically have at least $2k worth of options.

    There was a mis-configuration with the Holden forum where news articles from the front page weren't getting posted. I fixed it the other day, so now all the old articles got dumped into the Holden forum all at once. This was from April 9th

    Is it just me or are we really getting back to the "Jet Engine Intake" look that was around in the 1950s?
  19. Drew Dowdell
    Which would just smack of "Old GM" thinking if true.
  20. Drew Dowdell
    I only ever really liked the early versions...

    It worked for Lexus.

    Lambas are getting lighter and smaller anyway.
  24. Drew Dowdell
    That was to appeal to Camino.

    As of this week, the leashes are off from the Gub'mint and starting Jan 7, GM will have (by far) the youngest leadership team in the industry lead by people who know product rather than accounting.
