I'm sure the Queen is not amused. She has a few of these.

There is a big difference in interior, they added the 8-speed transmissions, and the diesel.... along with an exterior freshening and a host of tech upgrades Not really mild in my view.

try another browser or has something changed at the office?

and she probably got in her ES350 and drove home completely oblivious.

HAH! And that was the car Dan rushed out in the first place and damaged the brand with!

Well.. do you have a 5s?

I think they chose poorly.

As I was told with regards to our '04 CR-V: The good news and the bad news is the same - It will last forever.

that's a big shift in size from the Outlook!

Welcome back! We've been getting the band back together.... and congrats on your big win there!

The problem is that you can see those same, or close to the same MPG numbers for thousands less. The only way the hybrid Accord makes financial sense is in a vacuum.

Like.

That's ok. At least you still have the other Buick.

and... it sounds like any 4-cylinder out there... it's not like they're developing their own engine technology.... completely rumor, but supposedly that is a Fiat engine under the hood.

It's being funded mostly by the Chinese.

As collectible as a VW Beetle with a Rolls grille.

October 10, 2013 Drew Dowdell Managing Editor - CheersandGears.com It is October 10th, a bit too early for Halloween, and yet here is a zombie starting to show signs of being undead. National Electric Vehicles Sweden (NEVS) has confirmed that they have most of the agreements in place with parts suppliers to restart production of the 9-3 in Trollhättan, Sweden within a few months. NEVS is focusing primarily on suppliers in or close to Sweden to allow for shorter lead times, lower cost, and to bring greater benefit to the local economy. NEVS Purchasing Manager, Per Svantesson says, "We have 400 supplier agreements in place with only a few dozen left to complete in the next six to eight weeks." Production is set to start before the end of 2013. NEVS has recently completed 15 pre-production SAAB 9-3s as test run of the Trollhättan assembly line. In spite of the "Electric" in the name, these initial cars still have traditional gasoline engines. The exact engine has not been specified, but it is unlikely to be the familiar GM based Ecotec units found in earlier SAAB 9-3s. NEVS plans to add an electric model 9-3 later next year. Following that will be a launch of an all new car built on the still-born SAAB PhoeniX platform. Those of you in the U.S. can put your checkbooks away however, NEVS initial marketing push will be in China. Happy early Halloween, Zombie lovers!

This is the month to save the tatas

We found the same thing actually. When we went to add the Encore to our policy, the net result was going to be $2400 a year. That is too much for a 31 year old car, a 10 year old paid off crossover, and a new crossover. It was his policy and he had been with them for 9 years... I switched us to Allstate, who our house and rental properties are insured through, and cut that down to $1100 a year. We pay the 6-month bill in full for an additional discount, but less than $100 a month to cover 3 cars was fine with me.

Well yes.. but AD capable isn't the only requirement. There were others as well... fuel economy is one of them and I think most/all of the V6 mini-vans were eliminated from the running for that reason. Does Toyota still make a 4-cylinder Sienna? edit: Nope, they dropped it after 2012

But are you also following how the "fill it, regular" mentality doesn't apply to EVs? This may become a whole separate article.

The new taxi requirements will preclude using the Prius... they need to be more handicapped accessible. That's why the NV and Transit Connect were in the running.

You wrote that almost a year ago. You should start contacting the responsible entities and ask why those charging stations are still bagged over.
