  1. ONLY 11 USB ports? Are they USB 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0? At least they now realize how important charging of personal electronics are. Now to get laptop vendors to realize that they need to support plugging in a laptop via a USB port for running/charging. Interesting observation in what Hyper has stated is that more woman were driving the GMC last generation and men the Chevy based on a poll done here in my state as to what gender of people drive full size suv's by the auto association. I wonder if this will flip to men moving to GMC and Woman back to Chevy?
  2. Dwight it was some of the product, but with quality where it is now, auto companies do not need alternative Product lines to win customers. Build quality products that strike a passion in the public and you will have sales. I do not think Toyota needs this product line for making money. They pretty much have everything covered by Toyota or Lexus. Just kill it off and focus the R&D dollars on the two main product lines.
  3. I see this release as being equal to the last one. So many myself included loved the Chevy look but hated the too female look on the Yukon. Now they have gone two Female on the Chevy and finally gave what should have been on the Yukon, a butch, male tough look. Very Terrain but full size and done excellent in my opinion.
  4. That would explain the chunkyness I'm seeing. Did you get any direct rear shots of the Tahoe? Any of this wiper assembly? Where was the Yukon revealed? Was it at a media event like the Tahoe/Suburban? Very true what they say about personal opinion as I do not see a Chunkyness in the rear at all. I see a normal wind deflector that as Drew says covers the rear window wiper but also I would assume pushes air down over the glass like 3rd party add on's have done for years to help keep the glass clearer.
  5. I agree with you Drew, iTunes interface is Junk. Syncing my Android phone with my music is easy and clean and I put it where I want it not where it is dictated by an over bearing monster.
  6. LOL - You really have been drinking the APPLE KOOLAID. The proof is in the sales that Android / Samsung make better and sell more phones. Personal opinion on the look and feel as the Apple has always felt like they cut corners compared to Samsung phones but again a personal feeling compared to you feeling the opposite. In regards to the whole ITunes thing, their approach is to make things simple but they went to far to make them none usable to many people myself included as I find their interface to be non intuitive and iTunes to me just sucks. Much easier for how I use my Samsung phone. The Phablet is not for everyone but for those of us that are big, 6'6"tall with big hands, the Samsung is small and perfect. I hate how small phones are and that the touch screens are usless when typing as I hit multiple keys. Apple iPhones are the worst as typing on them is just garbage but again I am probably twice your size at 6'6" tall 300lgs. 15% body fat. I love the bigger phones that meet my needs. Something Apple does not do.
  7. Chevy interior is nice, but the nose on the Chevy's is just ugly to me. I do not like the headlights and the over all nose is just a turn off. GMC is the winner this time. Elegant, Butch, Manly, the over all style goes with the product line. Have a Terrain vibe that I just dig. Last evolution Chevy won hands down, but this time the Girly Yukon is gone and in it's place is a mans man SUV. GMC seems to have given this a Semi truck type look that is just awesome! Be it Denali or lower level this is a hands down winner. One concern I do have is that the interior on both looks like the center console has gotten fatter cutting into leg room and comfort. The seats from the photo's look narrow. I really hope not but they do.
  8. I just replaced my 6 year old DELL. Wish I could have gotten another one, but DELL lost out on SPEC and PRICE to Lenovo. I now have a nice shiny W530 with i7 vPro and 16gb ram. Dual 27" monitors on the docking station. Dual SSD drives. runs fast and is just solid. Very happy with it. I agree that DELL or Lenovo you cannot go wrong.
  9. LOL, Apple Iphone 5S still has not caught up to the Samsung S4. Android is just eating Apples lunch. Love it.
  10. AWESOME!!!! I wonder if our story and images on the awesome little monster played any part. I hope so as what Drew had done was very cool indeed.
  11. Sounds Like Toyota's Version of Pontiac/Saturn. Just kill it off and move on. It was a failure.
  12. That green monstrosity looks just like a Ford Connect. Ignorant question, but does it come from the same factory? To me it sounds like they are too late to the party. So many others have already started production, I just do not see that big of a commercial market for everyone.
  13. Awesome write up. Very enjoyable reading. I have to say that I like that this car does not have that freakin big ugly black smiling mouth, yet the over all style is bland and to me very uninspiring. The interior is just terrible with the bland dash, Pimple on the center of the steering wheel and then the white type seats that will show all the dirt in the world. Just a terrible job. What is up with everyone thinking the world wants 4 door Coupe style sedans? No headroom and clearly not much room period for big people like me. I suspect this will fit me like my sisters Mazda 6 which means I will not be comfortable in it and could not go on road trips. Looks like they used 5'8" as the average size to build the car for again. One thing noticed is that the fit and finish based on the pictures does look good. I did not find anything out of alignment or to big or small of a gap. Really consistent.
  14. Saw a brand new 500L on the highway, just came from the dealership. Actually not bad looking considering that I hate the ugly little two door. The 4 door 500L actually look good and usable and not like Shrek squished the top of the car or that a light wind would blow it over. The best looking of the 500 family yet.
  15. Bad News, Your Uncle says for you to inherit your share of his Potato Empire valued as 37 million you must move to Detroit and work for a few years at one of the auto companies.

  17. Very cool pictures, Thanks for posting.
  18. I feel that charter schools and all these alternatives other than out right Private for profit schools are part of the problem, not the fix. Having graduated from public schools and pushed myself hard in the Computer Industry, yes I have enjoyed a great career and am still working tonight so that proves that 16hr-18hr days are not uncommon, but the flexibility is great. Public schools fail due to two large issues: Union Corruption and manipulation Parental lack of drive to drive their kids. My mom was always home till I went to college and then she joined the work force. She was there to make sure my sisters and I got our homework done, did our projects and did the best we could do. Today to many households are caught up in the jones jones race of having all the toys and careers and ignoring their kids to daycare and others. Parenting is a minimum of 20yr commitment to make sure your kids get off on the right foot and at times it means punishing your self to enforce punishing your kids when they do wrong and stay on the road to success. You cannot ignore not being involved in your kids lives.
  19. Excellent Read, still our teachers are underpaid for preparing and training the future workers of America. It seems most states want to use a general fund rather than actual department funds. Money that was supposed to go to schools or to roads go into the general fund and then get spent on other things. We need to put in place term limits, reduce the socializing of making people dependent on a gov hand out and properly compensate those that train the future work force of America. If we can start a computer Engineer at $75K a year, why do teachers have to start at $35K? Go to year round schooling with 3 months on, 1 month off so that kids remember their education better.
  20. EXCITEMENT!!! I am glad they are looking to have a coherent marketing message. Be interesting to see what comes out of this effort.
  21. Great Review for your first one. Nice pic's, Love your Dusty image of the car, that was well done. Question how do you feel it compares to the VW choices? What would be your top 3 must improve items? What would make it better for the around town short trip auto?
  22. We'll I guess it only took time for MB AMG to Ricerize their ugly mug car. Still bland to look at and the paint job is hideous. I thought those big arse wings of top fuel drag racing went out long ago.
  23. Washington state is all about the rear sticker only allowed in the upper right hand corner of the plate.
