  1. Be safe everyone with the snow storm hitting you. Seattle is a nice comfy 41 degrees and sunshine. Just got done having a test drive in a coworkers new Audi S4 that he just got back from a customer tuner shop. After buying it new at the dealership, he drove it to the tuner and plunked down 20K more for new brake system, exhaust system, ECU Tuning, and other engine work. WOW, It really moves and the crack of the exhaust is nice under hard driving. Gotta love engineers who love to tune their auto's for premium performance.
  2. Cookie Monster!
  3. SWEEEEEET! I think the Reviewers need to put in a request now for a week loaner of these beasts for comparison to the V series from Caddy.
  4. Just that the US can NOT afford it any longer. Time to put in term limits and kick out the old school boy fan club.
  5. Rubber Ducky
  6. Someone will loose their job over this. Ouch the body work! Dyno FAIL BIG TIME!
  7. Yup Unions would love to get all that cash and squander it. But Fiat wants bottom basement pricing. Not sure they could really afford it anyway.
  8. I agree with GMTruckGuy that I would love an H3T inspired GMC HighRider truck, crewcab version.
  9. So the tax payers take a bath to the tune of 139 million and the idiot ex CEO and his Chummy Chinese friends end up with the company minus the debt, building an electric auto that is questionable at best. Sad Day for the hardworking tax payers in the US.

    My Son's Patriot is a Trail Rated version which he tested out this summer and went off road and it proved to be very durable. No scratches or dents but did get a rock chip in the paint on the drive home from another auto throwing a stone. Jeep built the FWD bias 4x4 Patriot very well. I like the space inside for big guys like me.
  12. It is so rare to see this car that I doubt anyone other than gamers would care if it was killed off. EVO X is an animation fanboi game car. I wonder if they make any money on the few they build?
  13. WOW, What a but ugly pug of an auto! Sad that someone had to actually build another nightmare of a convertible like the Geo.

    My Son loves his patriot, wishes for a bit more power but does love it. Drove awesome this weekend up the mountain to go skiing.
  15. Personally this will sell initially to those Koreans that want to support the motherland and a few others that like it over other luxury auto's and are not hung up on names. Yet in the long term, I do not see this being successful.
  16. Considering the numbers of auto's I see driving around that are cigarette pack high off the ground like the Tesla and these Petrol models do not go BOOM. I think this double the ride height so it cannot strike trash on the road is not the smartest fix, but probably the fastest and easiest for them right now compared to building a safer battery cover.
  17. That was very funny Ocnblu. So I wonder how much reduction in range the Tesla S will loose once they increase the ride height from the existing 3 inches to 6 inches or so the current chat online is indicating with the new software update that will double the ride height. Some are saying as much as 20% reduction in range. Thoughts?
  18. Beautiful Ride, nice going. So you bought it and took it from the US to Vancouver BC? Is it really that much cheaper to buy vehicles in the US over Canada?
  19. GM at its perennial best. At least they are reacting faster than they normally would before the bankruptcy.
  20. So in reading online, you can install the gauge inside and run the wires out of the fire wall and then you need to locate where the oil temp gauge is on the engine so that you can splice the wire into it and this way the OEM gauge would still work plus your new flashy gauge. The sensors in most cars are able to report all the info, just that it is cheaper to have dummy lights to say too hot or a generic gauge that shows cold to hot.
  21. Exactly. Unless they mean the Volvo S80 if that still has a V8. Because the V8s in an E550, 550i or Jaguar XF would smash this thing. And you can get 38 mpg from a 5-series or A6 and 45 mpg from an E-class so they didn't win their either. These Japanese companies bet on hybrids and they aren't really the answer. They could have done a skateboard base so a much bigger battery, then use pure CNG or BioDiesel Generator and have the auto fully driven AWD by electric motors. This would be Rockin!
  22. Nice Looking Gauge, but never used them myself. Good Luck, let me know how it goes.
  23. Nothing New here as Subaru is sticking to their game plan and Toyota is going with their game plan. Same Marketing fluff. Be interesting to see who wins as I suspect they will want both product lines to have it to reduce over all cost.
  24. You ordered one for your self and are waiting for it to be built and delivered!
