  1. Very true, it might let them sneak in and grab saab, but then we have to be honest and realize that this product line is dead on arrival.
  2. This is so true, my first feeling was that they need to build a luxury car first and then they need to truly make it/market it different than a ford. They have a long way to go before they will be a competitive force in China. Hope they are looking at what everyone else is doing.
  3. Suzuki needs to merge with mitsu and mazda, this is one company that also has a sparse portfolio and while the few products are pretty good up to a point, they could use working with a larger group to lower costs and improve/expand product offerings.
  4. One they need to drop the price ASAP even if it means taking a bigger loss to get more of these cars out there. Prius currently has a large lead on the volt and if they plan to get more market share, they need to do the same at toyota and jump in with lower prices to move inventory and take market share. Two, they need to roll out this technology to more models sooner rather than later. If they had a volt drive train on a minivan that could handle 5 or 7 passengers they would truly sell more. A 4 person auto is very limiting. Three, they need to pump up marketing of the volt and made in the USA to get this selling more.
  5. What does GM and the European Union not get about over production? Two weeks shutdown will not correct the glut of assembly space and the lack of customers. They need to close down at least 2 assembly lines and lay off the workers. I would hate to loose my job also, but then do you have a whole division close and everyone looses their jobs or do you cut back to what is sustainable?
  6. Why does this give me the feeling that the whole Toyota / subaru coworking agreement is going to water down to dull boring styling for Subaru.
  7. Sounds like you need to change careers my friend. It is calling your name.
  8. Sounds like a lack of truck sales to me.
  9. My desktop is covered in Lavendar right now, I let BING desktop take me all over the world.
  10. Beef Steaks
  11. DuraMax are the Bomb! Those rock sir and you should post some photo's of your beast. I still dream of having the funds to convert my 94 suburban into a duramax beast.
  12. Not a bad work truck, though I wonder what other hits it has taken considering the passenger side dual fender is all messed up.
  13. Interesting that they seem to be wanting to make the steps from entry to mid to top of the line for each product line clear. This does go with a common sense approach of showing your customers how to move up from their first to a second purchase of a bmw. I wish more auto company would stream line their product lines to give clear steps of getting from entry to mid to high to performance level models. GM could use a complete redo on marking their models as it is not that simple to tell which is which.
  14. So in searching on more info, I came across the UK and Euro mags covering this car. They all say Trident has signed with GM to use the 6.6L Duramax Diesel Engine and Allyson Tranny in the car, reprogrammed for total performance. WOW That is allot of weight in a supercar. So the engine weights 835lbs, the tranny weights 330lbs. That is 1165lbs of engine/tranny on the front axle and mid section. I think it would be hard to get a 50/50 distribution for perfect balance in a supercar, but then maybe I am wrong or missing something.
  15. Trident announced it would finally show its production-ready car in public next month -- the Trident Iceni Grand Tourer, a diesel-powered machine that should hit 200 mph while returning 69 mpg on a variety of fuels. http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/diesel-powered-british-supercar-trident-icini-promises-200-200130777.html While very cool, the $119,000 price tag will keep this to the upper 5% of earners. Cool looking car.
  16. OK, either I have totally missed how this interface works or because I do not use a hosting service for pictures I just am not able to upload pics. I know I asked before and was told there was plenty of space to upload pics with comments, but how do you guys get pictures uploaded from your computer to the forum. Only way I have found is to put it in my media, but then I end up with a link rather than the pic or are you guys uploading to "My Media" and using the url to the pic there to post in the forum?
  17. I love me the 41 Chevy with Lincoln Headlights? That truck customize just totally rocks my world.
  18. Rock On Belated Happy B Day, you are a young pup with allot of life ahead of you!
  19. Just imagen painting an ATS-V with radar deflecting Black paint and then using night vision to drive with no lights on!
  20. So Deep So Early in the Morning! A line from Pink Floyd's 'High Hopes'...I'm chillin' out this am, killing time before heading to the airport to start my little vaycay... I so could use a VayCay, I am at work but having no luck focusing on work. Drink and Relaxe for me! Have a good one.
  21. So Deep So Early in the Morning!
  22. whoa. Yup, srsly. I didn't know Fisker was making an SUV. You Crack Me Up!
  23. Sounds like Cold Fusion, Break water apart, let it come back together, break the Hydrogen bond again, over and over, Free energy. Now if only we could actually make it work.
  24. My 2008 Trailblazer SS had this same issue on both rear doors, I fixed it by using the GM black adhesive they sell when you replace the gasket on the rear stage coach doors on my 94 subruban. I had left over and use it as I squeezed it into the whole length of the weather strip and then pushed it back into place and boom it dried and has stayed in place with no noise, slippage or any other problems. I feel it is now fixed for good.
  25. That is a freakin amazing Suburban. I love it.
