    yes... as I said... "not in the traditional sense". As with all things, it will have limits, but I don't think 400 hp is out of the range of such a simple setup

    Diesels are the way to go for SUVs especially. I'm sure LR is watching Benz pimp their G/GL350 Blutech all over the place rather closely.

    mmmm torque
  4. Drew Dowdell
    This truck will be sorely missed.

    The Volt doesn't really have a transmission...at least not in the traditional sense.

    If the oil is synthetic, no real need to change it based on such a short age.

    Buick is unpretentious luxury yet still a good value. That is the image they are going for.... and in a way it is a return to their image in the 1950s... cars for people who have "made it" professionally, but aren't out to show off with a Cadillac or Benz

    Must be a regional thing. 3 of the Buick dealers near me only have one Encore each... been shopping around
  9. Drew Dowdell
    Aside from the Camaro... those speculations are borne out in the sales numbers.

    Doane is suggesting that this car is China Only

    The Enclave is "large" because it is fairly close to the Tahoe in actual interior space.... it's also one of the largest in the class.

    By the looks of it, another Vueick.

    GM needs a platform replacement/consolidation program.

    Well at least it sounds like it won't be all show and no go... With the impending death of the Escalade EXT, there might just be room for one of these Rams. How do you think it should be equipped?

    Buick is Luxury without Pretentiousness.

    Yes GM had the legal right.... but I do still believe it was intentional

    If SMK doesn't see it, it doesn't exist.

    It's weird that trucks don't lease better then.... old trucks still really hold their values. Since I've been in the market for a while, I've seen things like Titans with 2008 75k miles and dealers are asking $19,999, 1996 S-10 extended cab 4x4 with 60k miles for $14k... a 2 year old Ranger V6 4x4 with 50k miles is likely to run about $17k....

    GM didn't need to dump Cobalt nor STS nor DTS... they just didn't have the stones to put those names on new vehicles that could improve the image behind them. There is no reason the Cruze couldn't have been the Cobalt or the XTS couldn't have been the DTS. Both cars would still be superior to their predecessors

    Ok... and how big of an incentive will it take to actually move it. That's $4k more than a Sportage, $3k more than a Tuscon, and $3k more than a Rogue. They priced it right up against the RAV-4, CR-V, and Equinox....... good luck with that and the ugly mug...

    I don't know what they did with the seats, but the seating position is no longer comfortable for me in these.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    Hmm... this might tie nicely into my The $25,000 Question thread...
  23. Drew Dowdell
    Dwight, what might a S/C 3.6 V6 look like in terms of power?
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Regal and Lacrosse are both at the end of a model cycle

    While GM may be stronger, they have lost those customer (along with the Saturn customers, previously the most loyal in the industry) to other manufacturers. GM's plan seems to be "get 'em while they're young and don't know our history". Good thing they have decent entries in the small car market with the Sonic and Cruze, and again in small premium with Encore and Verano for when those kids get their first real job.
