    All body with nothing up top.

    Just make sure you have the raw link and not any extensions on the end.

    That's only because Phoenix doesn't have a PT system at the level it needs. PT is very much "if you build a good one, they will come". It's like that for me now in Pittsburgh. I'm a strong PT advocate, yet the system here has been cut so much it is nearly unusable for me anymore when I once used it multiple times a day.

    More people live in cities these days than not.

    Let me research more and I'll get back to you

    Actually, my preference is for a very robust (world class?) Public transportation system so the the people who don't want to drive and don't like to drive don't have to drive. The whole self-driving car theme is a sub-par solution to our lack of public transportation. If you love driving, you should support public transportation because it helps keep people who hate driving off the road.

    You need to grab the embed code from YouTube and then do what ocn says

    You guys know me, I like big cars, but the sonic hatch was good enough for me to consider one.

    A large number of people hate to drive and only do it because they have no alternative. If you don't want self driving cars out there, you better start writing congress to support massive subsidies to high speed rail and local public transportation projects. Keep in mind that most of the driving public can barely keep a '98 Corolla on the road safely, would rather not drive at all, and are one text message away from crashing into your mother. These are the people I'd want to see with the option to have the car automatically drive them..... but as long as I can have manual control once I get behind the wheel, I'm fine with the system being there.

    For most of the driving public? Yes. As long as the system can be disabled I'd prefer that most other people use automatic driving mode. With the amount of road travel I do. I might even use it from time to time on my longer trips. I'm in support of it as long as it is not mandatory.

    Dangit! I didn't see that till you pointed that out. I guess I should update the article.

    I'm sure it would be an option that could be activated or deactivated at will.

    Yea...too bad...really...

    I must have the CDV! where are these typically sold?
  17. Drew Dowdell
    It is 7% and it is paid by the buyer on private sales.
  18. Drew Dowdell
    well... Mitsubishi didn't make that kinda money... they'd be lucky if they make any money at all

    Very nice! I've always appreciated VW's VR series engines. They were never the most powerful or economical, but their power delivery was excellent and their smoothness and refinement superb.

    Honestly, I don't remember, but there is a good chance I'll see the car again next week, or at least Cadillac ppl, so I can look/ask.

    need to figure out if you'd pay more than $3k at whatever interest rate you get. My guess is going with 0% @ 60 mo is the lowest total cost for you. Assuming no down payment, any interest rate above 3.0% @ 60 mo will cost you more than $3k Edit: 60 mo @ 3% on $38,558 = $3,012 interest over the life of the loan, so that interest rate is your exact break even point for consideration of rebates. but none of that considers the payoff of the Envoy.

    So are they going to flash the computer before shipping or will it be required that the dealer do it before delivery?
  23. Drew Dowdell
    I'm going to try and sell it privately. Private party is $9k - $10k, we were only offered $4k on trade-in.

    The 9-speeds that Jeep is using are a ZF design but built by Chrysler. My complaint with DCTs is their performance in traffic situations. I hope GM can address that with this transmission.

    The Versa Note isn't as terrible as its predecessors, but the Sonic is still better.... Sonic also costs more.
