Sadly Dave did not make it from last year but seems all three of his friends did not make it either as GM was a big NO SHOW for the superbowl.

Hello Moron Politicians, We need a natural and logical next step. Since people talk about the power of energy in a gallon of gas, the logical next step is CNG or Compressed Natural Gas. This is the only thing that would get us off Oil, burns far cleaner (GREEN) and allows people to drive all over without the long wait times of charging. Some day Electric will be the new norm, but now it is inner city only driving and the real bulk of people should move to CNG for superior clean autos.

I'm not old enough to drive a Buick ................... That type of thinking proves you're too old to drive a Verano T Too Old to drive anything Fun and too young to drive period since we are all tired of those people who putt putt along in the far left lane.

My son's friend wants an American built Compact or subcompact with AWD. Any thoughts?

Over all the commercials were not that great this year and where was GM????

Discount these lame egg's and sell them off, dump the eek Assist and put in the Duramax Diesel 2.6L and have a good night of High Mileage with decent tourque. Want performance, then drop the MPG just a bit by going with the 2.9L duramax system. If you want a hybrid system, then start putting the VOLT into a wide range of auto's and enjoy the true GM Version of the Prius family. No reason you cannot have a VOLT 4 door car, Station wagon, Minivan and CUV AWD based on the VOLT system.

Nice for a cheap toyota. Very sad that you see the plastic wheel wells in the engine bay. Also, Marketing has got to wake up that Horsepower alone will not win the war. Without Torque you cannot move the mass and that engine is starved for Torque in comparison to HP. I agree with dwightlooi that the GM I4 is superior over this engine any day. Over all Mud your getting really good at writing these reviews. Nice Job. Being home sick all week with the crud, I might be missing something, but over all it looks really good.

It would be fun to do a group comparison of Sub Compact and Compact Pocket rockets from America, Asia and Europe and see who wins.

In other words, the Impala will finally be catching up to Corolla? As nav systems have come down in price (which many have), OhStar TBT has looked less and less appealing. Especially to those like me who prefer having dynamic maps. Agree, the OnStar Turn by Turn sucks. The systems look like their from the 80's and I am not at all impressed with them. I would rather have a dynamic map on a nice screen nav system with a ladies voice to remind me of up coming changes.

Your comment is what I hear from Baby Boomers all the time. Some finally see the benefit of having NAV in their auto when they go on road trips, others which is most of the baby boomers do not want to learn. I have found that when you stop learning, you die. Example is uncles who have passed away in their 70's as they just wanted to sit around and watch TV and then I have my Grandparents in their late 90's who keep on learning and pushing. My Grandpa died at 95 due to cancer as he hated doctors. But my Grandma who is 96 was just told by the Cardiologist that we will need to plan to replace her pacemaker battery when she turns 100 and he sees no reason she cannot keep going. Learning and change is grand!

Perfect reason for the car companies to partner with others that do it better than do it themselves. GM always seems to be 2 yrs behind on updates. I got the latest DVD for both my Trailblazer and Escalade and while it updated many things, there are roads that have been around for the last year plus that are still not showing up on the nav and yet both Bing maps and google maps shows these roads. Course interesting thing is my son on his iPhone with Apple maps does not show the updated HOV lans/ramps. Wonder if Apple and GM use the same supplier for maps.

Very True, they have Trail Rated setups, but they also need Trail Rated Interiors.

Guess I am one of the few that actually hates the smartphone apps and slow 4g LTE response. (Interesting Observation that is confirmed by my wife and kids, we have unlimited Verizon and I have not been willing to resign a new contract. As such it seems even though they denies it that the upload and download has gotten worse) I would rather have a dedicated Nav in my autos. What the auto companies need to do is stop trying to reinvent the wheel and partner up with those companies that are already doing nav well and push out via satellite constant updated Nave to begin with.

See this would be a perfect nitch for GMC and Chevy. Build a New Trailblazer Z71 4x4 with the H3 off road capability of 32 to 1 or 64 to 1 crawl ratio. Duramax 2.9L engine. Wash out inside Optional or standard OEM Roll Cage like the Wrangler. Priced in the Mid 20's this could do very well.
-
I think the best thing that could be done is for GM to bring back a basic TrailBlazer with the Hummer H3 capability powered by the 2.9L Duramax Diesel at an attractive Mid 20's Price point and you will win over Jeepers who are looking for a Capable off road package. Trailblazer Z71 4x4 64 to 1 crawl ratio 2.9L Duramax Diesel Wash out inside. Option OEM Roll Cage This could sell very well.

BMW is going down the WRONG road in doing FWD. People here see BMW as Luxury only with Performance Driving Road Machines and I see this backfiring for BMW. Oh well, they should use Mini Cooper to expand having Class 1 & 2 FWD appliances and not water down BMW. Europe might be used to this, but not the US.

Awww poor wittle babby got his feelers hurt. black knight............where did you come up with that thought? Are you a preteen or what? I don't get your juvenile remark Ok, guess I am lost on the comments or it is an inside joke as this makes no sense to me.

But they are both Ordinary as Lexus offers nothing special to stand out from the rest of the Luxury car companies. Their Idea is bland and boring, fall asleep at the wheel driving. They might as well merge with Google and just make all their ugly boring cars Self Driving since the people are more into their electronics.
