    I totally agree that this rule should NOT be a rule. At least it was pushed back but still this is going to move more and more people from having their own freedom machine to mass transit which is being cut due to the lack of tax dollars and the excessive social programs. States are going bankrupt and they do not see that they are to blame for this total attitude of we have to protect everyone from themselves. This needs to be killed along with all of the other electronic nanny devices. It is not the Governments responsibility to dictate what is and is not sold in a free market economy. Just as I believe it is NOT the states right to tell you, you have to wear a seat belt. Common sense tells me it is safer, but then where are the seat belts on the public buses and school buses.

    I personally like an interior that is shiny and slick, but I have mixed feelings on the Headlights, but I do like the Monochromatic look of the black All Terrain. That truck Rocks.

    Very Cool, While the blind spots are terrible, the over all quality is amazing for a custom home job and very impressive. Wish they had pictures of the engine bay. Here is a Jelly Bean car with style in my humble opinion. If I could fit in it, I would drive it.

    I think the MiniVan is a dying product. Toyota, Honda and Hyundia might keep them alive in one form or another, but the CUV has replaced the MiniVan pretty much and I do not see it surviving here in the US unlike how the station wagon survives in Europe. Would make an interesting case study as to why the over all space and versitility has lost out to less room and lower gas mileage of the CUV?

    Interesting all the terms that are getting twisted around. When was an Electric car ever supercharged?

    As long as it is under warranty all is good, but the moment the warranty runs out, plan on thousands of dollars in cost each year to replace all the crazy electrical mess or the blown engine. I do not see any long term life out of this mess, but just a short term excitement by those rich enough to afford this bleeding edge experiment. Take a Z1 over this mess any day.

    I want to see real certified proof as these engines cannot really deliver that MPG in real world driving. http://gallonstoliters.com/index.php?q=1&from=imp&to=us&result=0.83267384 one Canadian gallon is equivalent to 1.20095042 US gallons so it will be twenty percent higher numbers in MPG So just proving that these are not real world figures and that it does take far more gas to get these miles. Like Cubical, these figures are lies and 50% higher than real world numbers of what people are posting.

    Excited by this car, but wish Diesel prices were not so punishing. I hope this car sells well for Chevy and they finally move forward with small displacement diesels in their Full size Trucks and Especially their SUV's. Course if they would just build a CNG SUV for the mass, I would be very happy with that.

    Amazing the prices I got in an email from the local dealership today. Guess it gives great advertising but wish they would just drop the big discounts and sell it on how good the product is as a real life reasonable price.

    I think you would have to go with the Communist Cherry Corporation that just clones everything brought to china from Europe or the US and puts a cherry badge on it. That's actually 'Chery' w/ one 'r'. I wasn't thinking of China, though, they've had dozens of companies started there in recent decades, like the US was around 1910. Nothing of significance outside of China yet. I was thinking of US companies...can't think of anything... if Tesla makes it, it will be quite an achievement. Agree with you on Tesla, it will be a big achievement if they make it. I wonder how long before someone consumes them?

    So lets take this from the flip side. Fiat wants to move their HQ here to the US. The Socialist Unions are bleeding the company dry, they cannot compete with their ugly poor quality products. Could it be that Fiat ends up eventually going away as they move to have a small Mini style of store within a store. Fiat becomes that eco box level for Dodge. Then you have Ram for Trucks, Jeep for Off road SUV's, bring back the wagoneer, kill the Durango and Dodge becomes the Entry level product line world wide for them from the 500 up to the Charger. SRT is the Performance Division and Chrysler is the Mid to higher Lux line. I could see Fiat being the one to eventually disappear. Due to size and the heavy discounts Fiat is doing on their ugly little 500, I only see value people, aka pure price driven people buying these auto's.

    I am sure there is a fine print some place that says this is for the Dodge Dart or some other auto and they are just using the Rams for a street sign considering how big they are.
  18. G. David Felt
    Very nice evolution of many auto's out there, but I agree with Hyperv6, this would be a perfect update to the Cruze.

    Too True as to my comment about they should have been able to build 50 of them for the millions that went into this project.

    Based on the numbers GM has posted, I have to really question why a V6 is superior over a V8. I get this with a V8 and no one drive a truck gently so this V6 will suck like all V6's in trucks and SUV's and really give nothing other than a numbers game due to Stupid EPA regulations on MPG. Idiots in all of them for thinking smaller is better. Just like the ugly Fiat 500 POS, I am really not happy with GM, FORD or RAM for giving into this smaller is better for everyone garbage. Every where I search it is amazing to see that people love the V6 turbo from ford and it is a blast to stomp on, but for those that are driving it a so called conservative style and have 3-5 thousand miles, they all admit to only 13-14mpg and none believe they will hit the 21mpg Ford claims. Looking at other V6 non turbo engines, we still only see teen MPG. So I have to really doubt the V6 will properly replace the long living V8 engines for those that expect to own and drive 500,000 miles. I see plenty of V8's last this, but I have yet to see a 4 or 6 banger last this long and for a truck that gets far more abuse than a car.

    I wish over all they would drop this crazyness of 10K off and just drop the price down to a real price and let them sell.
  22. G. David Felt
    Beautiful car, but not a V8 collectible, and there are superior auto's out there for the same money. 5K is a top price for this car. The person really had no clue about what makes a special car a collectible. While nice to see such an immaculate old car, this is not the collectible it is priced to be nor is it worth that crazy price. Someone might go $7500 just from a market stand point and accept that it is an old car in awesome shape. Over all due to price and lack of features, it is a Jeers.

    We'll they had to try and see how far they could push the control issue. They now see what the competition is doing and the response from the gamers and we now have a level playing field. Funny thing is that my friends who all work on this have been telling the marketing idiots since day one that the 24hr internet and control thing on games would fail and would not be well received and yet Marketing kept looking at what they believed was another pot of gold to keep people paying always for something. Idiots never seem to learn that just like what has been posted here, people perceive that once they buy something, it is theirs to do with what they want and the companies will have to accept it. Interesting read on the SimCity 5, thanks for bringing it to my attention, I am shocked companies think they can build a product, charge way to high a price and then still keep control and ownership of said product. That approach deserves to die.

    Very cool, totally forgot they had built these.

    500L are so cheap, uncomfortable and just a pathetic waste of money. Having actually tried to sit in one that I wanted to test drive to see what some of you think is so great I can actually say that unlike the Buick Encore that I can fit in and be comfy, the 500 from Fiat is designed for 5'8" or less drives/passengers. Forget any real quality, you all complain about Chevy and yet you should see how cheap the 500 interior is. This on top of a car that clearly is way to narrow and is what i believe will be shown to be an easy roll over auto when pushed just a little. If I can lean on the car sitting and it has considerable side to side body roll, just think how easy it will be to roll when on the road as high speeds. Might be popular to those looking for a cheap car, but then what price do you put on your life and quality of life all for the savings of a few dollars or MPG? Fiat 500 is a series of cars I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND to Anyone, even my enemy. Their life is worth more than what you perceive to save on this auto.
