Brand New Combustion System -- Future of the Pushrod V8
G. David Felt replied to dwightlooi's topic in Powertrain
Thats OK, we all have one of those Blonde Moments every so often in life. -

Holden Ute Not Coming Due To High Tarrifs
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
I personally think the VOLT drive train could be used in 3 flavors running on CNG in the New El Camino. You can have the Efficient VOLT El Camino as an entry level, Have a VOLT El Camino LT model with a bigger electric motor system for a bit more performance at a little drop in range Have a VOLT El Camino SS model with the focus being on performance but in a Hybrid design that still goes farther than a Nissan Leaf. Have all of them run the Engine on Compressed Natural Gas and you end up with the Cleanest Hybrid around. Prius would have nothing on this baby. -

WOW, All you east coast / mid west people need to learn to speak English! Probably due to the funky accents you find back there!

G. David Felt replied to A Horse With No Name's topic in The Lounge
Stupidity knows no DNA line. I would tend to send an email to the dealership about this snafu as it is really sad that they cannot seem to get the right make and model on an auto listed properly on the paperwork. To me this just shouts laziness. -
I think a DI 2.5L 4 banger would be a hit in the Eco car.

Subaru News: Subaru XV Crosstrek Starts At $21,995*
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Subaru
Pretty interesting auto, one thing that just pisses me off, I know delivery costs vary based on where it is going, but why not just ether always include the price based on average cost and state it could vary or have all auto companies leave it off and state delivery charge extra. It is really annoying to see some companies state a car cost including delivery and other state a cost plus delivery. Just have a freakin standard on advertising prices so people can properly compare them. -
I just love me this pickup truck! This is some style, wish we had new auto's with style like this. They just all are bland. Perfect example is the Equinox is a nice great CUV, but bland in the style department and blends in with everything else but does follow Chevy style of their product family. Then you move to the GMC Terrain. This is a love it or hate it affair and I have to say it is freaking awesome little CUV. I would want this as a Black ICE paint job, black chrome edition with a turbo V6 AWD. A Modern Typhoon edition. Yet everyone says it must change to better fit into the family profile. WHY WHY WHY, Why can we not have a family profile that still does give awesome style.

VW News: Volkswagen Releases Some Details About The Next Golf
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
So is it just me or has VW been on a bloat diet with all their cars getting bigger/fatter/heavier? Or is this due to the stupid pedestrian safety requirements of Europe? The socialist drive to get everyone the same on mass transit and make all cars look the same is just stupid.- 5 replies

Very Beautiful car, but for the state of the world economy and the US in twists till we see what happens in Nov, I would actually wait for the instant gratification, pay off your current debt, save up a little more and you will find another perfect car for you. When the time is right, it will all fall into place. Do not let emotions control your finances, you will thank me as I know how hard it is to now jump on a dream auto. My gut also tells me we will see depressed auto prices this winter as food costs rise. Hopefully the request to remove the Ethanol requirement for gas companies will help to keep food prices low, but then fuel prices will rise and when they do, V8 powered auto's like this one will drop in price even more.

Holden Ute Not Coming Due To High Tarrifs
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
So lets take this to a marketing win for the US! Holden VE Ute is sold as the NEW CHEVY El Camino Hybrid! AWD Hybrid drive train perfect for those weekend warriors who want to go up the mountain to hit it with their Dirt Bikes, weekend get away camping, haul the Home Depot flower bed supplies and yet still be more car like, easier to park and fit the City life style better than a brute full size Pickup Truck. This way you have Green Credentials and a win win Life style marketing message. -
Interesting layout, reminds me of the Chevy's. I do not see this as a luxury car, but just a normal Chevy competition.

Industry News: Fisker Issues Recall On Karmas For Fire Risk
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
Was at PSE (Puget Sound Energy) today in Bellevue where they had an alternative energy show for businesses, governments and individuals. Handed out lots of business cards. Saw this car finally in person and was able to sit in it and check it out. First, they built it for small people in comparison to me. Had to recline to actually sit in it and no way anyone could sit behind me. Fit and Finish was amazing but then for a hand built car of little production I would expect it to be. Funny part was someone else asked about the fires and the rep said it was nothing, just a little fix in a fan and then he changed it to other topics and focused on the long range it gets compared to other electric cars. Still the price is a limiting factor for most people and a useless car for businesses. -
Industry News: Fisker Issues Recall On Karmas For Fire Risk
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
I would not call it junk, but I think it is far more experimental than they are willing to admit. Better yet is if they would sell their 300 Mile range battery technology to GM or Ford so it could go into mass production that everyone can have access too. If they want people to move off Petrol and onto something else, then they got to get it to the masses, not the 1%. -
Hydro Baby, that is why our electrical rates in Washington are so low in comparison to the rest of the country. We do have plenty of water to turn the generators. Now to just keep the tree huger in check as we move to alternative energy like CNG as these tree hugers want to take down all the damns.

Two-Mode Hybrid system is $10,000+
G. David Felt replied to Flybrian's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
This is a perfect example of why they need t advertise this more. -
Over all a great review on this minivan, as a people mover especially for those that love all auto's Asian this will sell. Interior I like except for the placement of the shifter, same bloody place in the last two versions and I hated it then. Exterior, I am glad you showed it besides the Japan version as I love the Japan version, they should have sold it as is here. I think they watered the body down for America. Why? What makes them think we are more conservative than Japan when it comes to design? Over all great review, Interior is nice except for the cargo space and shifter and exterior body get a thumb down for me. This is a deal breaker as the styling is just blaw!
