November 2013: General Motors Co.
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in 2013 Sales Archive
People feeling good about gas prices? Suburban, Tahoe, Silverado, Sierra and Yukon all way up! Who lit the fire under Acadia? Traverse is up, Enclave down slightly, but overall Lambdas have a healthy growth for the year. Regal is back up from the too-long summer slumber during the model change over, but won't be enough to finish the year up. Shame how FWD is killing the XTS isn't it SMK... only up 146% for the year. 2014 CTSes just hit dealers last month.. won't show much movement there yet. ATS moving along nicely. Congrats to the 6 new 2012 Chevrolet Colorado owners out there.... seriously, when will they finally close out this inventory!?- 10 replies

Racing Seats and Harnesses - Some Feedback
Drew Dowdell replied to Rvinyl.com's topic in Auctions and Classifieds
If they are safer than standard seatbelts, why couldn't they be used for daily use? That said, I drive a 3800lb car with 140hp and a 3 speed auto... not exactly something I'd be in the market for. -
I like CVT transmissions, but those CVTs in the Jeeps just weren't any good at their task. Dave, I disagree... the new Cherokee is very good.

I wonder if Fiat too a look at what GM is doing with their Alpha platform, what VW is doing with MQB... making very flexible, lightweight platforms that can be used across many brands and vehicle sizes... and decided to follow that path a bit more closely.

SEMA Show: 2014 Dodge Challenger Gets Shaken and Mopar-ed
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Dodge
No, they are in the speedboat/yacht business. They take fast, powerful boats and get them faster top speed and better acceleration by super-fine tuning the propellers.- 11 replies

Hyundai News:Spied and Previewed: 2015 Hyundai Genesis

I dunno, I see a big improvement in this one. -
Again, there is a reason and method behind those plastics. I got a very detailed explanation from Dodge about it. I'll try and hurry up and get the review out this week.

Exactly! And the Econoline rides terribly too. The Savana/Safari aren't lookers either, but they at least have a Suburban-esque ride to them. I'll give a hint as to why the ProMaster (the big one) might sell better than you guys here expect. It is unusually nimble for its size.

Because its much cheaper than sheet metal? The entire nose of the van is plastic, unpainted, black, cobbled up plastic. Seriously, what's the logic? All these white refrigerator boxes, all intently cheaply made/looking. You'll just have to wait for my chair arm gripping review!

Cadillac News: Cadillac ELR Pricing Set at $75,995

Cadillac is being very conservative with production and sales estimates. -
There is actual logical reasoning behind the Promaster nose and why it looks the way it does.

I think the diesel option for the Verano is coming anyway, but that is clearly not a GS version.
