  1. I won't be surprised it they offer the 2.0T as a fleet only option over here though.
  2. No one buys the A8 now... dunno what the future S-class has to do with that.
  3. Yeah, but look at all the torque even the kid has in his electric mustang.
  4. Over 400 lb-ft at zero RPM will do that for ya...
  5. See? Total flamer...
  6. If it wasn't 40 grand, I would own one.... I agree that I think GM needs to get this technology cut in half and will see sales explode with new buyers. They are working on it. In 2001, the first iPod came in two sizes... a 5gb and a 10gb. They were Mac only and couldn't be synced with PCs without some very annoying hacking. All they did was play music. They cost $400 and $500 respectively. Today, a full color touch screen iPod nano with 16gb, built in radio, video playback, and accelerometer is $149. The iPod classic, the closest relative to the original iPod, now has 16 times the capacity of the original for a mere $249. The Volt is the original iPod of cars in this regard.. the proof of concept and of market.
  7. Thing is... Ocn makes this guy look positively manly...
  8. Will they get me past security at auto shows and GM facilities? Autoshows just require credentialing from me.
  9. I know you don't "do" electric, but there is a huge huge difference in interior noise between a Civic and a Civic Hybrid. For me a Civic Hybrid is about acceptable for the compact car class. The problem for Honda is that the Cruze and Sonic are at the top of the noise control class, with Verano even further up (as it should be for a premium car)
  10. I have some Cheers and Gears door magnets I can send you.
  11. My biggest complaint with the Civic was with noise. That is where I am most interested in the changes. A 1998 LeSabre is a heavy metal concert compared to a modern Cruze, but Honda hasn't seemed to make similar strides in noise control in the same time period.
  12. I'm basing this guess on the Wrangler. When they started building the 4-door, sales really took off.. and I think the 4-door has now eclipsed the 2 door in sales.
  13. OOOooo... looks like someone got a good deal on Saab 9-3 headlight clusters over at the Big Lots clearance bin!
