  1. 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!?
  2. 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 believe

    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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I think they have one version they call The Man Van....
  7. Indeed Reg, it is a shame we cant get that here.
  8. I guess I miss the reference.
  9. Ocn, you're close on idea, a little off on implementation.
  10. Are there different levels of smoke?
  11. We really need to bring back paint stripes/decals like that.
  12. The Juke handles very very well for what it is. It's just a shame that it looks like a smiling frog.
  13. I wonder if I can talk my parents into a Barracuda* *Barracuda being the first word in the name of the business they own.
  14. Gm really needs to make some sort of competitor to this..
  15. has anyone seen one in person yet in the wild?
  16. w00t! Sign me up for a Carvan Blacktop Edition!!
  17. so.. the numbers in AMG mean absolutely nothing now?
  18. I dunno, I see a big improvement in this one.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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!
  22. Cadillac is being very conservative with production and sales estimates.
  23. There is actual logical reasoning behind the Promaster nose and why it looks the way it does.
  24. I think the diesel option for the Verano is coming anyway, but that is clearly not a GS version.
