  1. A REAL FRIEND tells them to try something else. Toyota, Nissan and Honda have all fallen far behind in comparison to everyone else that finally stepped up their game and build superior same class auto options. I would insist that someone check out the other brands as Toyota is resting on their history of High Mileage reliable auto's and I challange them on that.
  2. I have seen many MB interiors that are in worse shape than American auto's. So I do not think they have the market on best in class interiors.
  3. Agreed Z man, you are so right about that we find people nit picking about something like a shifter compared to the rest of it which we have not seen yet. I amexcited for monday based on the partial image I saw of the Escalade at the 2014 Fleet & Commercial show GM did in seattle back in July.
  4. High income people are not going to be comparing XTS to the Impala. They will look at the XTS and compare it to Lexus, Infinity, MB, BMW, Acura, but not Chevy. Personally the XTS is amazing, I just wished we had the Chinease version with the extra 12" of leg room for the rear passengers that they do in China. Love the space for us big guys and I would think the Private car drivers would love to have this over a full blown Limo.
  5. Agree with you on the Stingray, so happy that the wagon versio is going into production for the Stingray.
  6. Excited to see the results. Bill are you going to post the results here once they come out for us to discuss?
  7. Brand new Lotus, black one in our parking garage today. Amazing that someone would buy this car at the start of Fall when we have rain and snow falling.
  8. Thanks Ocnblu, some just do not understand how safe CNG is as a cheap alternative fuel step away from regular gas. Back on subject, It will be interesting to see how GM and other companies deal with this press and how they will change design to add further protection to the battery pack. Plus the need to educate firedepartments on how to fight these fires. Sadly in the news last night a fire department in Eastern washington said that since not all fire departments have dry chemical to extinguish these specialty fire that they would have to consider restricting sales of them in their little town till they could afford proper training and materials. I had to shake my head at that as it shows much ignorance about the auto's.
  9. Regal GS which was a supercharged sedan was awesome and plenty of them around at least here in Washington. So you do not feel the need to have a performance sedan in the buick family? Buick has the Verano turbo and can add the 3.6L turbo to the Lacrosse if needed. I don't see the need for the Regal in the U.S. market. I wouldn't mind seeing a Riviera coupe developed off Alpha. Why not have the Regal a 2 door sports coupe with two engine options, Turbo 4 and then the twin turbo V6. They could do also an AWD HO Twin Turbo V6 and call it the Grand National!
  10. Latest story on the fire here in Seattle of this Tesla is an interesting read. Wish I had picked up stock at $35 a share at the start of the year. I might not be a fan of electric auto's but I do like good stock rise and right now even with the pull back it still has a 400% gain for the year.

  11. We'll everyone needs a full moon some days!
  12. I am excited by them but will stick with what I have for now till I see how they do. Course never know something totally radicall could happen and make the engine obsolete sooner than any of us might expect.
  13. Very sweet to see that this will go into production. We loved it on here back in March 2013 http://www.cheersandgears.com/topic/81323-callaways-2014-corvette-stingray-aerowagon/ Rock On Callaway!
  14. I think we should have a Buick Rocket!
  15. Regal GS which was a supercharged sedan was awesome and plenty of them around at least here in Washington. So you do not feel the need to have a performance sedan in the buick family?
  16. Biggest experiance with them is the Regal GS which is very popular in Seattle and has been a solid car. You find plenty on the road around here. Also aftermarket upgrade kits and the Toyota TRD Supercharge kit on plenty of 4 runners and Tacoma's here so you hear the Whine all the time and it is exciting to drive one that just fly's low to the ground. Superchargers could be a northwest thing also as I grew up with them here since the 70's.
  17. Sweet, look forward to hearing your review on them. Thanks Drew
  18. Very Cool, Look forward to a long term update in 10 years
  19. Yes Corvette is far better than people give it credit. Porchee is over rated in my book and too small to begin with. I can at least fit into a Corvette. Rock on Corvette!!!
  20. Crazy, so I should get a royalty for someone using my name on a car!
  21. Saw three Tesla's this morning at the Tesla Recharge lot in Bellevue. They just opened up a covered charge place right next to the doors into Nordstroms at Bellevue mall. So you buy a Tesla and get covered near front door access to Nordstroms and Ruths Chris Steak house at the Mall. Interesting and me without a Phone or camera. Will have to go back and take a picture to post for everyone to see. Pretty nice for a company that is wanting to reach out to the masses for sales.
  22. It did litterally yesterday on Highway 167.
  23. Very Cool, I would love to go to a test drive of the Viper. Anyone in the south that could do this and give us a review?
  24. Dessert
  25. I just stated where my first experiance was with Turbo, and even in the 90's Turbo was still not good, yet Superchargers Rock and have been a solid way to boost performance. I have seen many long life Supercharged V8 engines. I have not seen long life Turbo V8's. So for me, traditional pushrod V8 engines and Supercharged engines are what tends to go with long life in comparison to Turob. I will stay with my existing V8's as is till Turbo's get to what I precieve as a rock solid place without too big of a penalty in gas consumption since the marketing is Turbo gives you 4 banger high mileage with V8 power. I have not seen this yet in real world driving by those that do have turbo's.
