Buick News: Rumorpile: Buick's Powertrain Plans
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
With AWD the Encore should have at least 250HP and 275lbs. -
Nice Job Dodgefan, great way to keep the intrepid looking HOT!

I like, if it is brighter and lasts longer I have no problem with exchanging a bulb for an LED equal. I think in some cases, older auto's look better once they have LED tail lights and headlight systems. Plus lower draw on the electrical needs of the old wiring harness.

How about a torque monster 4.8L Diesel with a 9 or 10 sp tranny. I would love to see the VOLT power train in this line up also and CNG options.

Jeep News: Jeep Cherokees Still Waiting On Fix For Transmission
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Jeep
After seeing the Jeep in person last night, I have changed from not liking it to liking it. It actually looks way better in person than in the pictures. Very nice auto. While some will hate the CUV UniBody, I suspect it will not affect them having gone from BOF to Uni. Fit and Finish is great on the one at Seattle International Auto Show. -
Weird, I was going to throw up 10 pics before I head out the door and they are all around 3 to 3.5mb in size and the limit is 200MB on a single file. Drew any idea why?

Howdy all, So will aim to get some photo's posted tomorrow, heading out to the show as it was a late night getting the booth setup since they were behind in getting carpet down and wall built. I did walk around last night and took pictures of the new Jeep Cherokee and have to say that in person this jelly bean is actually really nice and I have changed to liking it now. It was a gun metal grey with lots of metallic and had the off road package. Really sweet. The show this year is amazing, the best I have ever seen it. GM has gone all out and the new Tahoe/Subrburan and Yukon/XL/Denali's are on display which surprised me and the new trucks including the HD 1 ton dually up on a pedestal. I took a picture of the Yellow Mustang and Stingray. They are amazing. The new Spark EV is here and the list goes on and on. Will have to take some breaks so I can walk around and take more pictures.

I have a Toyota Camry Hybrid 2012 and it has the largest opening doors I have ever seen on a car; tall and wide and open real wide. It has more front seat space than my old Lucerne and it was really big. Two problems with this. 1) While it is big for many, I have tried the latest version of Camry and while roomy to a point, it is not for tall people as once I got the front seat so that I was comfortable, no one could sit behind me and I really do not like sitting partially reclined. 2) I support American jobs first before anything else and will buy from GM and Ford as long as they exist to support our country. So Toyota will always loose out. My 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid was made in Georgetown, Kentucky USA!!! Profits and engineering jobs still go back to corp headquarters in Japan.

Is anyone else having this issue? Weird, but I see it fine now. Very cool pumpkins.

I hope it wows folks as so far this car is an ugly duckling with no hope of turning into a swan. -
90th Anniversary of the Seattle Auto Show. October 16 to 20, 2013 Wednesday-Thursday 1 p.m.-8:30 p.m. Friday 1 p.m.-9 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. http://www.seattleautoshow.com/index.php While I will have a CNG booth at this auto show, I do plan to take my DSLR and capture pictures of the hot new auto's. On the home page they list the Jeep Cheerokee as being there along with the ELR. Take a look at the web site and let me know if you want any pictures of specific Auto's. I will do my best to get them. One cool point is the Old Car Collection with a select group of cars from the worlds largest private auto collection.

Chevrolet News:General Motors Quietly Drops The Malibu Eco
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
Never understood why they feel they have to move forward with a bad idea/failed technology. I would think it would be cheaper to pay off the suppliers, recycle the parts and move on with better new technology that gets it right. -
Cadillac News: Cadillac ELR Pricing Set at $75,995
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Cadillac
You seem to smoke so much crack of the German variety that all you can do is make silly comments. Corvette could never be done off the Cruze platform as Cruze was never engineered for the performance Corvette does, etc. As others have already stated, same engines and Platforms are used in the name of synergy. But this is not OK for American Auto Companies to do? -

$1500 tune ups and $150 oil changes are enough to make me trade in for something more reasonable. I can see why BMW was forced to go to we cover all your maintenance for the first 3yrs. Only way to get their product to move. I suspect BMW and MB does more leases than any other luxury car company. Would be interesting to stack up the numbers of all the luxury auto companies and see how much is Leases versus Purchasing with the average length of auto ownership. This would give a good insight to who has a more committed customer base I would think. At least from a real ownership standpoint.

Chevrolet News:General Motors Quietly Drops The Malibu Eco
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
Local Chevy Dealership in Kirkland had two of these ECO models with eAssist on sale with a big sign saying save $15K off MSRP. Pretty sad day when you have to discount so heavily an auto and tarnish the reputation due to stupid Executive thinking. -
Cadillac News: Cadillac ELR Pricing Set at $75,995
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Cadillac
Every company, BMW, MB, AUDI, Lexus uses Low end product platforms from their cousins. As Drew states, if all the visual bits and internal touch and feel bits are the proper top of the line best of the best, no one will give a rats ass about the genetic work of where the power train started it's roots at.
