  1. Love Machine
  2. Could zip car be the future for college students and people who do not want to have the hassle of auto ownership? This does make me rethink if we could see the auto rental market become a auto share market for inner city people. Yet is America really 50% living in dense cities? Is seems that suburbs still requires car ownership.
  3. Interesting, I wonder how long before they start selling antivirus software for your Auto to keep you from getting hacked.
  4. I think for dense inner city's this will be a win for Zipcar users with more access to auto's and yet I do agree that they could go the way of Bland rental fleet. Yet outside of dense inner city use, zipcar and the other new start up that allows owners of cars to rent out to others will have limited traction.
  5. Thanks everyone for making this such a great web site and to all the efforts that Old and Mud do to keep it going. One of the best places to hang with people who have an outstanding passion for the auto industry. Happy new year to you all,
  6. ZipCar is a limited use limited growth potential. This is a bigger win for Zip than it is for Avis\Budget. I am surprised no other car rental company has decided to add a zipcar quick short term rental option before. The few times I have seen zipcars in the Seattle area or on Stevens pass they seen to be well used for how young the car is. People just do not car about cars that are not theirs.
  7. Very good info, thanks for posting it!
  8. I will take the red one in back please!
  9. Bad News, your dealer has creepy mechanics who break other parts to keep you coming back.

  11. Was it the Mako Shark II or the Manta Ray?
  12. I will have to say it comes down to marketing / advertising. I have yet to hear any radio ad's for the dart or even seen a television ad. I would say Dodges biggest failure to date is the lack of any advertising. If they wanted to have it start out slow, then they have succeeded. Otherwise, not really sure what the F@#k they are doing.
  13. Sweet looking ride, get us some internal and more external photo's and your over all impressions of the ride please
  14. Over all I do love the responsiveness of the site.
  15. Interesting to see that comfort, quality and golden ride or as stated in the 1961 marketing message as a magic ride is a common theme from 1900 to current. This seems to reinforce that they could easily come up with a Golden Quality Ride for the world message.
  16. Lets also hope they never do a Great things come out of Japan ad again from 1986. That was like the biggest black eye you could do to American workers.
  17. I do have to admit I love the Glee Club advertising.
  18. Interesting in searching I found that Life, Love and Living is a common theme on the international side. Wiki had the history but also added a recent list of marketing themes used around the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet Found this one that actually covers marketing from the begining to the recent. Just click on the 10yr period in the year bar to see the messages. http://adage.com/article/special-report-chevy-100/100-years-chevrolet-advertising-a-timeline/230636/ Course this was published in Oct 19th 2011 on Marketing blunders and tips for businesses and of course GM has both in plenty. http://internetmarketingtactics.org/international-marketing-case-study-blunders-tips-prevent/ Over all, I think a good program could be done on an international theme that would reduce marketing costs but raise global awareness of the products.
  19. Interesting and exciting to see, but I will take a wait and see attitude as I have not seen turbo 4 bangers last like a good solid V8. Get a 100K miles on these engines and they have pretty much lost their ability to move an auto where a V8 still can get you moved.
  20. Love it, This is great.
  21. Growing America Moving America Forward America's Forward Mover North American Made They need something that brings in American Made, supporting and creating jobs in america. North America Made products are good for everyone and for you.
  22. Your Right nothing in production but a 350HP Direct Injection V4! http://www.katechengines.com/engineering/katech-v4/
  23. Further Proof that these glamorized Golf Carts are not really ready for anything but inner city commuting in a short range. CNG is the future!
  24. Very cool, love the collision.
