    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    Crazy, so I should get a royalty for someone using my name on a car!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    I expect the Regal will be totally redone as the mid lux sports car for the brand that would attract young people who have the extra money to move from the Chevy / Toyota basic cars to a Buick/Acura level car and are not ready for the Cadillac/Lexus level. I do not think Buick needs to go RWD. I personally think they can stay FWD and add AWD. An AWD Regal Sports sedan with a turbo 4 as entry and Turbo 6 as a Regal GS edition would do very nicely.

    In 4 days we get to see the whole thing and really judge what the Slade will be in terms of Standard of the World Lux SUV's. Personally based on what I have seen and the focus GM is putting on growing and building Cadillac to be a top competitor in the Luxury space, I expect the new Escalade will eclispe anything BMW or MB has.

    CTS V Coupe Old XLR or Z01

    Here the XTS seems to be doing well as I am seeing them everywhere and especially the private car services seem to be buying them. Lucky no one seems to like fake cloth tops so I have not seen any yet.

    Great write up, for me the Coupe design everyone has and is old. Agree with the interior, in todays competition of multi colored warm interiors, this dark matter spot called an interior is DOA.

    Shares of Tesla stock dropped today due to a video showing a tesla on highway 167 in south seattle catching on fire after hitting some steel in the road. Leaving one to wonder just how easy is it for these electric auto's to catch on fire and possibly kill someone. The incident happened at approximately 8am and was posted on WSDOT Cam web site and local news. It soon became the talk of the office in regards to how safe are these auto's and should they be allowed to be on the road? Seattle Times had the following story. http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2021951388_teslastockxml.html?syndication=rss http://www.youtube.com/embed/q0kjI08n4fg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0kjI08n4fg&feature=player_embedded
