    I am excited for this motor, but wonder about it being a OHV engine. I think they could have done this without the OHV thing.

    GOOD!!! Nor do I. +1 of total agreement.

    I'm the reverse. Average torso but long legs and "gorilla arms" Very cool to hear this Drew, this gives me even a better understanding then when you do your reviews as I can compare myself to how you fit in the auto. I wish more auto reviews would take into consideration how the auto will fit a person who has long legs and arms with short body or short legs and arms with long body. Either the sun roof kills you or the ability for someone to sit behind you. In my case, sun roofs and the ability for people to sit behind me nail it for just about all auto's. Only full size SUV's give me both except for the new Escalade. They took away so much interior room that I am holding onto my GMT800 2006 ESV Platinum Escalade as newer does not fit me.

    Funny thing is, if they were both showroom new, I'd take the green one (more my style overall). Nice Rides, I agree I would take the green over the red, but ouch, I see the ding on the Green one passenger side just behind the door. Poor Baby need the Ding Doctor to pop it out. Those guys are amazing. They come to work and do a car well for keeping it ding free.

    Rock On GM! I am excited by this engine and will be waiting to see what the Performance division does to take it to the next level. I suspect this engine has a ton more potential than they are initially giving in the base corvette. So BMW does 400HP/450ft lbs in a twin turbo V8 that is only 4.4L and this 6.2L is smaller and yet more powerful. Seems this engine will have a great range of power capabilities.

    If names didn't matter, Camry and Accord wouldn't dominate the sales chart. Acura and Lincoln names seem too much like alphabet soup, easily lost in the shuffle. I think Cadillac is in danger of going that route, and even Lexus names make no real sense either. The only way to make those names work is use CTS or ES350, etc for 20 years so people just get used to it. Camry and Accord started out in the name world when everyone used names. They just kept with it as they improved their own quality. If these cars had been the turds many other makers had, they would have dumped it also for a series of simpler naming convention.

    Video is great, I can barley hear of what I think is the engine clicking noise until they open the hood, would not be an issue for me or people I know. Couple things that seem to really stick out on this video is that crazy big fat semi pillar just after the A pillar, I see why they did the little window, but crazy. I do love the way they did the hood with the insulation, very clean and nice. I do find the overspeed warrning to be pretty funny. Exhaust does sound wimpy in my opinion. Needs to be tuned better. While we can all nit pick a car, this car is still pretty awesome and I think most will find it a pleasent ride.

    But then the Garden state has so much trash on the roads you can use these to get over that.

    Actually I see a ton of these here in Seattle AWD v6 models and they are all over the mountians here for skiing, hiking, camping etc. So the name goes pretty well for what I see them getting used for here.

    Sounds Cool!

    Call me stupid, what is a ROPOS?
  12. G. David Felt
    Wait and See attitude. I hope the CNG version also gets it. I gong to assume it will.

    \ Are you tralking about the Charger or some of the ladies in the Curves thread? You crack me up, but I do mean the new Charger SRT8. Looks like it is about to blow or suck someone with that big black mouth.
  14. G. David Felt
    YOU DA MAN!!! Yes that is it and I think it is totally Awesome! I love the all clear headlights.
  15. G. David Felt
    This is sharp in this color I think. Back on topic, I am having a hard time seeing this company around by 2015. I think this will be another DeLorian mess.
  16. G. David Felt
    It is going to suck you dry!!!!!!

    I have wondered why GM does not use the Buick Quiet steel technology on top of their normal sound deadening material to get an ultra quiet ride.
  18. G. David Felt
    Sucks but at least it was caught early and should not be much of an issue. To bad OnStar could not push this out to update the car and fix the issue or they send a self installing USB fob to be plugged in and it flashes the system. Would be much better than a stop at the local dealer again.

    A-Class is not an a-segment car in any way. It's Golf-sized; B-Series is not fiesta sized either (B-Segment); and the C-CLass is actually a D-segment car. The others seem correct to me. But that's not the point of my reply. The point is that, as for the Cadillac names, I'd use only Escalade (as, rapper car or not, it has built its own brand equity) and Eldorado (heritage FTW!) as 'special' flagships... The more excessive/outrageous/luxurious side of Cadillac if you will... Aside from us die hard car nutz, the real world does not give a rats ass about quality names on quality auto's. Escalade has built it's own reputation and should not be changed. I do think they could build a very nice high end Luxury Eldorado but most never ask or car what the letters stand for and I think Marketing has won in building brand recognition for auto's with short names/numbers to represent a specific auto line.

    I will take Fracked Natural Gas over this any day. At least CNG is much cleaner and abundant in the US without having to import oil. We could truly change our country for better if we all moved to CNG which is a logical next step while the battery nerds figure out how to give you a 500-1000 mile range on a battery pack so you can do road trips and then charge over night. Best bet would be for GM to use the VOLT power-train but with a CNG generator and go from there, much cleaner than Petrol and a solid move for people. They could fuel up at home with a BRC FuelMaker appliance.

    In looking at these pictures, while I love the new body, the only thing that is a draw back is the big black mouth that reminds me of a blow fish or some sort of sucking monster.

    2006 Charger SRT8 2012 Charger SRT8 Are we getting better or going backwards? Is this car still relevant in today's market place? Over all Fit and Finish are up but does it really meet the needs of the masses?
  23. G. David Felt
    Rock On! I agree with Balthazar that the belt-line from what can be seen looks upturned.Glad to see they are building interest early up to the release day as this will help build Excitement.

    Anyone who believed there would be no Turbo was fooling themselves. They just did not want to take away from sales right now by saying yea, Next year you will get the real thing. Right now thanks for helping us pay for the R&D.

    Did anyone see the Very Cool Custom GMC Terrain that was shown in the sneak peaks for the SEMA show in the latest issue of Motor Trend? The auto was in the original White Pearl paint job and then they did from the front to the back in all black including blacking out the grill and the over all look if pretty cool. I have been trying to find it online but no luck yet.
