    Yeah, but still, I'm glad to see 1 in 4 VWs sold is a TDI.

    It would probably kill you to ever praise Cadillac. The ATS is a 1 body-style car right now with one year on the market and no performance line. The 3-series is a 4 body-style car with a performance version and decades on the market. The CTS 10 years ago was an E-Class sized car with a $28,995 starting price. It has now moved in to E-class price territory on its own merits. the fact that Cadillac is fielding mid-size luxury cars that are comparable in price to the 5-series and combined, outsells the 5-series... should say something.

    Glad to see Jaguar doing well. I really hope they bring out a 3-series sized car soon.

    GMPD was disbanded in name only.

    Well now we see where all the German car customers went from the other two German brands this month..

    Wow, what a terrible month for BMW. Everything down except 3-series and X1... Mini down by huge amounts.

    The CR-V is one of the oldest and most dated and most behind in the class... how do they still move this many each month. Throw a dart at a board with small mid-size crossovers not including the CR-V and as long as you don't hit a Mitsubishi, you're probably better off in whatever you hit. Even with the Verano's nearly 25% drop this month, they still sold almost twice as many as Acura moved ILXes. overall, a pretty crappy month for Honda.

    The XTS outsold the A6, A7, and A8..... combined. Not bad for an "appliance" The SRX outsold the Q5 and X3 and RDX individually. And since SMK likes to point out the overlap, the CTS + XTS outsold the 5-series by a healthy margin.

    Apparently someone noticed the MKZ I wonder if all of the increase in Flexes was to fleets... but glad to see it surviving. Fusion continuing to do very well. Not Camry league yet... but certainly worthy territory. Mustang beat Camaro for the month but Camaro is still ahead for the year.

    Lol.. did we have a Maserati sales release last month too?

    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!?

    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

    Drew Dowdell replied to ocnblu's topic in Jeep

    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.

    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.
  16. Drew Dowdell
    I think they have one version they call The Man Van....
  17. Drew Dowdell
    Indeed Reg, it is a shame we cant get that here.
  18. Drew Dowdell
    I guess I miss the reference.
  19. Drew Dowdell
    Ocn, you're close on idea, a little off on implementation.
  20. Drew Dowdell
    Are there different levels of smoke?
  21. Drew Dowdell
    We really need to bring back paint stripes/decals like that.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    The Juke handles very very well for what it is. It's just a shame that it looks like a smiling frog.
  23. Drew Dowdell
    I wonder if I can talk my parents into a Barracuda* *Barracuda being the first word in the name of the business they own.
