  1. I use a NAV app that doesn't require a constant signal and includes free monthly map updates. The only time you need signal is to search for your destination.
  2. Jeep needs to aim to be an American alternative to Land Rover but with budget options and trims that people can go mudding in without worrying about the leather.
  3. I know... I counted variations of Chevies with FWD. I only count 8 9. Spark Sonic Sonic 5-door Cruze Volt Malibu Impala Equinox Traverse edit: 9 - forgot the Volt
  4. You don't get to complain about jellybean styling by a domestic manufacturer ever again and I'm shocked you would ever wish a domestic manufacturer that is trying something new to fail entirely as a company.
  5. I think it is an interesting option of (currently) limited market appeal and likely only will be sold in select areas.
  6. We're less than a tech generation away from having direct links to NAV apps between your smart phone and your car as a regular thing. You can already control Pandora, Stitcher, Siri, and others from your phone and have some of the visuals show up on screen. Why not NAV?
  7. Cadillacs, Buicks, Chevies, and maybe some SUVs in there. Expect NY to be the show with the most concept cars this year.
  8. I think you'll want to go to bed until NY Camino.
  9. ahhh.... so much cleaner! http://www.cheersandgears.com/forum/32-auto-show-coverage/
  10. BMW is making 12 FWD vehicles? Chevy doesn't even have that many! (8 by my count for chevy)
  11. Chris also just stepped out of a $100k BMW.
  12. Benz already has a fuel cell vehicle, a B-Class, I've driven it.
  13. well the idea is to reduce the number of sub-folders. I.e. all Detroit stuff goes in the Detroit folder and then you can sort by all years.
  14. ... and how is FWD less expensive?
  15. On mobile devices, yes. Ticket is already open with vendor. On normal posting... sometimes.. vender is aware and has lots of screaming in their own forums about it.
  16. Is that Tiger a re-badge of something else? That looks familiar... like a nissan or daewoo.
  17. Guys, I'd like to reorganize the way the Auto Show forums are listed. Rather than have sub-forums by year, I would like to have sub-forums by show location and then all of the years grouped under that show. Rather than having to search 5 different forums for Detroit auto show stuff, all years of Detroit Auto show would be in one forum listed in reverse chronological order. The current structure was built at a time before we had our articles system in place and doesn't mesh well (read: at all) with our new preferred way of posting articles. Making this structure change will allow front page articles to dump into the appropriate forum automatically and correctly. This plus simplicity of searching and structure are my reasons for wanting to make this change. Sound off and let me know what you think. Edit: Shows that we don't regularly cover can go into the base Auto Shows forum.
  18. Not being produced.
  19. It never made sense that the Liberty was called Cherokee in every country except where the actual Cherokees lived.
  20. Just scheduled: 3/14/2013 - 3/21/2013 Encore AWD
  21. I don't think GM is behind there at all.
  22. 1.6t with 200hp and 200 lb-ft of torque at 1500 rpm.
  23. THANK YOU! I always admired the Z3 and I've always disliked the Z4. Shame about that FWD though....
  24. Yup. Check out my review of the 2012 Nissan Maxima I talk about the CVT here. I thought it was a really great setup for that car and once you get over the lack of feeling the shift points, you can really appreciate the performance benefits of the CVT.
  25. Nice. If you like, we have a Garage for your car details in a tab at the top. You can upload your pics there and list off mods and other details inside.
