    I found the new RAV-4 interior to be atrocious!

    The issue is that there are other media outlets reporting that the Mitt Romney lie of 2012 that Jeep is moving jobs to China is now true. It still isn't true. They are also reporting that the next Jeep Patriot will be built in China (possibly true) and then imported here for sale (not true). If the Patriot is imported, it would more likely come from a Fiat plant in the EU... but I want to figure out these details and call out the other media on it.

    lower the seat bottom a bit and use the seat back cut-outs like they have in the Cruze. It's not rocket science... even for GM.

    Not a tug, a baggage ramp I think.

    "Located in Toronto Canada at present time but will be taking a trip to the southern USA shortly." Would be interesting to see the look on the border agents face when this thing comes rolling up, eh?

    I wouldn't buy new first off. If you're going to put that many miles on it, let someone else take the depreciation hit first.

    Should I do an article that has a strong political connotation surrounding the Jeep China thing?

    screen shots?

    Made a tweak to the server configuration last night because even after the upgrade and move to SSD, the site felt sluggish. It seems waaaaay faster to me now. How about you guys?

    There was residual value in the current 200s? I'm sure Avis is probably concerned about that but I sure am not.

    Yes, Stephan Harper may be a bit too conservative for my tastes... but I wouldn't call him a dictator.. Yea I always do forget about Canada as I consider it the Black Sheep of the NA Market. Was thinking more inline with the Arab countries and primarily Venezuela and their dictator for life. Most of our imported oil comes from Canada and Mexico. Venezuela's dictator for life doesn't have much life left anyway (bad cancer prognosis).

    Valid question, I think it potentially straddles both.

    it's just as bad, if not worse, in the gay realm. guys aren't particularly shy about listing their racism directly in their profiles. it also seems less about culture and more about skin tone ideals. the number of dating profiles that simply say "No (ethnicity)" continuously shocks me.

    Don't expect bed lighting in the F-150 to ever look like that. Comparing a production vehicle to concept isn't comparing apples to apples. Take it from a guy who has worked out of pickups for decades, getting this feature right will be a big win and major sales tool. GM HAD it right in the Avalanche in 2002!

    Bob Lutz spent most of his time in the GM booths.

    I've been telling him he needs to go to Philly later this month

    Happy belated!

    The 300, Charger, Lacrosse, Avalon, Genesis, Passat each do what they do in a more stylish or interesting way and each have a unique combination of features that makes each one a more valid choice over the Cadenza no matter what feature you favor most. Want room and fuel economy? Go see your VW dealer about a Passat TDI. Looking for Lexus Light luxury? Go visit the Toyota or Buick dealer in your area. Want RWD handling and luxury with the possibility of a V8? Chrysler and Hyundai would love to have a conversation with you. Want aggressive sportiness and an optional V8? Charge over to Dodge. The only one I can think of that doesn't have a compelling case over the Cadenza is the Taurus... so if you're shopping for a Taurus... then sure, go give the Cadenza a look. Otherwise the only time you'll see one of these is when you get upgraded to a "luxury car" the next time you're at Avis.

    Except GM did do it this way already. Their first big foray into hybrids was on Buses.

    Pictures!

    Common Drew, that little picture does not do your mug justice! Larger version.

    Aside from the CTS-V which has best in class power anyway, what engines does the CTS have that are out of the Chevy Parts Bin? The 3.6 and 3.0 both went to Cadillac first and both have higher ratings than the same engines in the other divisions (save for Camaro).

    You realize that not everyone is a speed freak right? The 0-60 may be in the 8 second range but that doesn't mean the car will feel slow in normal driving. Drivers appreciate the low end torque of Voltec. The Fleetwood was also an 8 second car and few people would find that car to be slow in normal driving even today.
