  1. Spotted on Brougham Society: I don't even...
  2. Spotted by a friend: Need a brush guard for your 3-series?
  3. No, I sold the Aurora to an acquaintance. That picture was from last September when I still had the Aurora. I always liked the Aurora, but it had 150k miles, the headliner was drooping a little, it needed a wheel, brakes, tires, check engine light was on, etc. It needed a lot, but the guy that bought it likes working on cars and planned to fix everything himself. cool, at least it went to someone who will love it.
  4. Sounds like a job for us here at C&G
  5. Get the engine block heater?
  6. Great swap out!
  7. I think they'll go to the newer 1.6T with DI instead. The 1.4 is getting rather dated....
  8. You still have the Aurora?
  9. If you're worried about the most cubic feet of passenger room for your dollar, go buy a Genesis and get ignored by the parking attendant. If you want something to be looked at in, get the Jag.
  10. let it get up to temp, then get a flashlight and search around for wet spots around the accessory drive belt.
  11. Wonder if they got the Wilmington plant in the deal. If they did, that would be where the Atlantic is being built (with plenty of room left over for the Karma). I don't think they'll get it going within a year unless they throw HUGE amounts of money at it. 2 1/2 to 3 years at best. Luckily for them, the Atlantic will still look fresh.
  12. Good riddance... Wretched little car.... I'm not anti-hybrid or anything, but these were positively awful cars to drive. Uncomfortable seating position, no power, terrible tires and still loud. If looking for a Hybrid Honda, the Civic is better in every measurable way for only a small difference in cash.
  13. In all honesty, Benz and BMW would have been more profitable if they quit wasting money on the weirdo models. Taxi market pays pretty good it seems. Edit: Also, chevy models are naturally lower margin by nature.
  14. Some (all?) of the German brands have too many models and it shows in their sales. Cadillac is in the business of making money, not catering to the whims of some guy who insists that Cadillac *must* have a 327idx GT CrossCoupe BluFictioncy e-tron (2013 sales figures - 129)....or else they just aren't as good as the Germans.
  15. Are they still producing out of balance or is it adjusted now?
  16. I assume there will be lots of Buick Encore copy-cats soon.... even Buick was surprised by its popularity and they can't build enough of them.
