  1. You know what else has a tiny tank? The Volt. An update from a friend who bought a Volt over the summer, he just put gas in it for the first time since August. This replaced a 15mpg Pathfinder and he is now getting about 236mpg.
  2. The Turbo suspension is firmer.
  3. Because BMW does it that way too? A 335i xDrive is $47k and still comes with vinyl seats. Heated seats are a $950 option.
  4. I suggest you get a car with real torque... like a Volt.
  5. You're asking the Volvo guy if he would drive a top end Volvo or a mid range Buick?
  6. yes... now GM is likely to be at the back of the pack in fuel economy.
  7. I dunno, I'd drive a Three Sixty Six or a Three Seventy Eight. They do have a 427 out there.
  8. Well then why not drop the Infiniti name all together and just call the brand Q? "I like! But to live up to the name these would have to be the best and most powerful cars in the universe!"
  9. Examples please 302 455 500 350
  10. They seem to sell enough of both... it's not like it is a major engineering feat to build the T&C as well as the Caravan.
  11. Naaaa, Americans are too lazy to care about a 6200CC engine. They would rather just say I got me the big one, 8.1L Disagree. 3800, often said as Thirty-Eight-Hundred, 3100, 3400, 3900... Americans would use those terms no prob.
  12. No, the Amazon app store is another way to buy apps instead of the Google Play store and they often give apps away for free. It's not just kindle reader stuff. But what I found a while back is that the Amazon App store takes up a lot of battery for some reason... it was often the second biggest battery user in the list right after "screen"
  13. Again, it varies so greatly. Even an individual's driving style can vary from car to car. I drive my '81 Oldsmobile a lot different than I drive a 2013 ZL-1, yet they get about the same mileage in the city. I drive a Chrysler 300C somewhere in between those two and yet I can tickle 30mpg highway.
  14. December 18, 2012 Drew Dowdell Managing Editor - CheersandGears.com It is looking like GM is gearing up for a very busy auto show in Detroit this year. Today Cadillac released this teaser of their upcoming ELR luxury electric hybrid. Based on Voltec technology, the Cadillac ELR will begin production in late 2013 at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant where the Volt is currently built. Rumor has it that the ELR will forgo the 1.4 liter engine the Volt uses and instead run with a new Opel engine displacing around 1.8 liters. Further backing that up will likely be a larger battery.

  16. I want an Avalanche of this :-(
  17. Do either of you have the Amazon App store on your phones?
  18. What is "real world" driving? Your real world will differ from mine.
  19. I'm not sure what you're running on you SG II, but mine runs great as long as I'm not using Sprint.
  20. How "on" is the AWD. Only on when in low traction situation or on most of the time?
  21. I'm going by what was in script on the trunk. edit: Looking at pics of other Star Chiefs shows 4 stars in 1958 also.
  22. I think we should change the name of the GM 3800 to "Gallon Jug". The only reason I know that conversion is because of the 3.8 Liters/1 Gallon per flush printed on the top of some urinals.
  23. Close. When the imports first started coming here, they would list their engine in Cubic Centimeters or CC. Ah yeah...like old motorcycles that were 50CC or so... Even in 1985:
  24. What to do is use an Android phone that is capable of running Chrome browser. Chrome will render most IE-only website correctly.
