    You can fill up a CNG vehicle with CNG in even fewer locations than EVs at the moment.

    This may come as a shock to you, but the early adopters of the first Apple iPod and first Apple iPhone ($499 for the 10gb model in 2001 and $499 for the 4gb model in 2007 respectively) were relatively wealthy people. As the technology improved the price came down, and more people were able to afford it. Today, the cheapest iPod that isn't a shuffle has a full color screen and 16gb of memory costing only $149 each. Tesla is, at best, in the circa 2003 iPod time frame when they are still a curiosity that rich people buy, but that price WILL come down. The next generation models are already supposed to be cheaper than the current one.

    260 miles isn't "any real distance"? Why do we keep having this conversation over and over? The Tesla Model-S has a longer range than my (currently out of service) Honda CR-V. As EV technology continues to improve, range will either increase or cost for that range will decrease, or a combination of both. Your Tin-Foil-Hat brigade comment that this is a way for the government to control the movement of the population is beyond dumb, and quite frankly, beneath you. The government is doing THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what you said by encouraging MORE CHOICE in the mode of transit.

    Happy belated!

    It is so close to the Riv and Eldog alloys, but just a tiny bit different enough.... I'm still figuring. Might see Dominic pop in here.

    now... I do think that GM has the strength again to bring back Pontiac as a true sports car brand.... but the moment they announce an Epsilon platform car, forget it, fold it, go home.
  8. Drew Dowdell
    Banks get to set the terms of the loans. If GM didn't like it, they could have gone elsewhere or just folded completely.
  9. Drew Dowdell
    Did you note the offset of the alloy rim. If it's pre'85, that looks like it would be a fwd car.

    The A3 doesn't carry the cache that the CLA does
  11. Drew Dowdell
    .... well.... good luck with that....
  12. Drew Dowdell
    Hmmm Port Everglades?
  13. Drew Dowdell
    I'll go against the grain around here and on twitter and say... that's actually pretty handsome. it'll look terrible from the front in states with front plates though

    I wish Buick could give us a Riviera like the '79 - '85 body and get away with it... but they'd be raked over the coals for releasing "an old design"
  15. Drew Dowdell
    so... a '98 3-series?
  16. Drew Dowdell
    I'm rather fond of this version of the Beetle, though I probably wouldn't buy it in convertible form.
  17. Drew Dowdell
    Aw, I was hoping it would be an attractive RWD alternative to the Genesis coupe
  18. Drew Dowdell
    This is GM raising the price in the segment.... yeah there will be an overlap as the competition sells through its older stock, but watch, you'll see price hikes coming on the other 2 soon enough.
  19. Drew Dowdell
    GM is more than capable of going on their own. They need to hire me though to get their EU dealership network fixed.
  20. Drew Dowdell
    Most 1-series buyers thought they were buying a FWD car in the first place.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    It's good that they are being cautious... but in this case, so much of the press has been bad press.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    Well, the 1.8 is covered under the "less power" I mentioned and it is a Family 1, but I was specifically told that they just cannot get the 2.0T and 2.5 to fit. I'm not sure why you think a Family II would fit when none of the Gamma cars use anything larger than a 1.8 Family 1 engine. The diesel they are using in the EU is a 1.7 liter. Are you thinking Delta platform?
  23. Drew Dowdell
    The XTS V-Sport would be my first choice, but that is over $55k and without the turbos, I would default back to a V6 CTS or even just save a bunch of money and go with the 300c Hemi
  24. Drew Dowdell
    The Toyota Camry of Mid-Size Luxury Cars..... It has everything it needs to have on paper, but fails to excite me in any way. At $55k, I would pick any of the Germans, the 2014 CTS or even XTS, the Infiniti Q70 (M45), the Jaguar XF 3.0 AWD.... or if I was feeling particularly American that day, the 300C John Varvatos and still have change in my pocket for another classic Oldsmobile. The only cars I can think of that the GS would beat on my "buy" list would be the Genesis, MKS and the RLX.

    never liked the 1 series looks. too stubby.
