BMW and Mercedes were put on notice with the ATS. I think now, they've been given their notice.

I'm the opposite. I *want* to like the prior generation Seville, the proportions are there, but all of the details end up looking terrible awkward.

I think it is a period appropriate styling direction and one of the most regal and expensive looking luxury cars of the day... surpassing even its contemporary Rolls, Bentley, and Benz competition. Of course, this is a visual assessment only as the 4100 V8 was such a supreme let down in these cars even the 350 diesel is a step up for them.

So the Lacrosse and XTS just have lots of extra padding.. because they are super quiet inside.

Regardless of where the best location for the turbo-charger(s) is, there is no way GM was going to redesign the 3.6 to be a reverse flow engine in turbo-charged form.... just wasn't going to happen..... so the whole debate of where the turbo-chargers would be installed is purely academic.

I have stacks of small prizes here to give out but no contests to go with it. We need to think up some contests so I can clean my office out. I have hats, branded USB drives, a Jeep first aid kit (very heavy/rugged), a 3M restoration kit, and an R/C Cadillac Escalade. So help think up some contests!

The Dirty Dozen or Disappointing Dozen?????
Drew Dowdell replied to G. David Felt's topic in The Lounge
UConnect is one of the best (least complicated) of the full screen radios out there.... it is super easy to operate.... This leads me to a certain conclusion about CR testers. -
Chevrolet News:Rumorpile: Chevrolet Colorado To Get A Diesel?
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
This would make the new truck a true stand out in the market. I just hope they can keep the costs in line. -
Well I did some more digging and here is what GM's reply was to the Duel Boost gauges as of 3-14-13. They claim they programed the TFT display with things for future models and they just did not shut it off. The TFT can be and will be used in some new models and they can turn on what they want. They did not go into detail to say if it was the CTS or other models. These models had it on as they were test cars and some of the TFT options were left on. The Stingray is the first to use the TFT system and we will see it used in more cars. This is like a advanced system of what is in my Terrain info center. I know someone who has jail breaked his Terrain and has all sorts of engine and car info at his disposal. He can now read tranny temps, engine oil temps, pressures and many other parameters that are not shown or offered in the stock configuration. This system seems to be similar but has much more it can do for many cars. While the shape of the dash may change I suspect the type of dash we see in the Stingray will be common to many GM cars. That makes a lot of sense. I know that even the current monochrome DIC in the current cars has the ability to switch on and off different pages. The ZL-1 has pages the Verano does not.

Jeep News: Jeep Hopes To Produce 250,000 Cherokees Annually
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Jeep
They're dreaming if they think they'll sell 100k Cherokees in the EU. -
I think a supercharged Vette would be far less surprising than a Turbo V6. I'm not saying a Turbo-V6 Vette is impossible... just ... lets not jump to conclusions over the boost gauges.
-
... owned by the Chinese.
-
Why the assumption that boost gauges on a Vette mean it has a turbo? The CTS-V has boost gauges right now too and nary a turbo in sight.
