Saw an old DeSoto today on Highway 99 near edmonds. Sure do not see to many like that anymore. Needed some TLC, but over all still in pretty good shape for as old as it is.

No Need to worry about the big earthquake, if it happens nothing anyone can do about it. Visas should not be a big issue as Boeing and most of the Hi-Tech companies here handle H1 Visa's, very easy to do, Just apply to the companies your interested and let them know you are willing to relocate. I have a bunch of friends from India and all over Europe who got interviews and then relocated here. Course I do know of many recruiters but one especially that specializes in handling the H1 Visas. If your interested in contacting him, let me know and email me at [email protected]. We are one big happy melting pot.

Right now Amazon is throwing money after people with solid skill sets, they have greatly expanded their offices on the water front here in Seattle, on Lake Union and on Lake Washington plus in Bellevue and Redmond. Cannot go wrong with any of the campuses, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, EMC/Isilon, and a ton of other tech companies and cloud based companies here. Come on up and join us.

If you have no passion for individual auto's then why be on this board as a moderator or writer? Clearly you would do well with the tree huggers in Portland and the Seirra club. My so called Monster Truck can do far more than anything green or an apple I-Thing. Try going off road, getting over broken roads with no damage, rescuing people in idiot Nissan Leafs or Prius who go up on the pass and get messed up and complain as to why they should have to deal with snow. I could bitch and go on and on, but I will agree to disagree with you as most of your comments seem to be anti Auto's. Clearly you have no concept of satire. My apologies if I did not take this right, but then I never could read something and see it as Satire. Seems a weird concept for me to understand.

That reminds me...I haven't taken a 'destination unknown' random drive in a long time...I always seem to be busy w/ life and have a specific destination in mind--the office, a restaurant, Starbucks, Target, etc. Haven't driven just for fun in ages.. Driving for just for its own sake is an alien concept to me. I can barely afford the gas it takes for my school commute. I drive with hypermiling techniques as much as is practically possible. If I were to go on a drive just for fun, I wouldn't have any fun because I'd be lamenting all the money I'd be wasting to get basically nowhere. Time is the limiting factor for me these days. And within 50 miles of me it's all pretty ugly desert.. though there are some interesting backroads up north. When I lived in Colorado I used to do 200-400 mile weekend day trips to search for twisty back roads for fun when I had my M3 and my Mustang GT. Seattle has many fun roads to drive and scenery to enjoy. The North Cascade Highway loop is an awesome 440 mile drive I think everyone should do once in their life. I always do it every spring after the road opens from the winter and usually will drive it 3 or 4 times during the spring summer as there are tons of places to see and things to do for an enjoyable weekend. http://www.cascadeloop.com/ Enjoy the site as it is a blast to drive in a auto designed for driving.

Interesting, I do find there are fellow engineers I work with that love their apple computers and can actually use them to do things, yet most people seem to not be able to do much. I on the other hand will stick with my Linux/unix/windows systems. I do agree I love my andriod phone from Samsung. It is a blast of usefullness. I too will pass on the Prius, not a car that can ever fit me.

But that unfairly penalizes people who rely most on transit: students and low-income earners. Taxes should be levied on drivers. If you choose the luxury to use a car, you pay to subsidize the people who choose not to. Here you clearly hit the nail on the head, These people choose NOT to drive, so they SHOULD pay for their share of riding mass transit. It is NOT my place or any other tax payer who chooses to drive their own private auto due to working hard and saving for it to have to provide transit for others. It is a luxury you earn!

#1 due to being the Cheap Redneck truck of those that seem to not want to demand a nice better truck. They are the Plastics of the Plastic industry. So you prefer the GM interior that gets ragged on over the ford or dodge that most critics put on top? (serious question.) i haven't had first hand experience with all of them so i don't know Nothing wrong w/ GM and Ram interiors...I had a '10 F150 as a rental a couple years ago, the dash was just a bunch of ugly plastic rectangles within rectangles. Cheap, nasty plastics... This I totally agree with GM and Dodge have way better interiors than Ford, the last 30 years and Ford still makes a cheap interior. Even with all the rage on how great the new Mustanges are and yet you sit in one and it has a look and feel of cheapness, you can clearly identify the parts bin parts and worse yet is the bad rust I find on so many engine and driveline components. I have yet to see Ford Quality Job 1 ever on Ford products.

Has anyone seen the March issue of Car and Driver with their pictures of the new Viper? If that is what this shadow copy is supposed to look like, I have to say it is BUTT UGLY!!! I do not like it at all. If they want the viper to be like the dodge trucks as a love it or hate it, then they will have succeeded.

Woman and Cars will always drive us crazy, but we can always find awesome analogies to represent them.

i sure wish i could have sexted pictures of my p3nis to a girl i was chasing, or been able to take pictures of naked conquests and send them around to friends when i was younger. you know, the important, meaningful, and culturally valuable things you can do with a cell phone. that, and play games. Zomg I'm sure many people my age wish had the opportunity to do all the culturally valuable things one can do with a car. Y'know, burnouts, guzzling limited resources, polluting the atmosphere, contributing to obesity and asthma in children, vehicular manslaughter... all that fun stuff! A few individuals compared to the millions of sheep driving Toyotas. Oddly, some of the most individualistic and creative people I know drive Toyota's. How is it that technology is making people more conformist? Technology allows people to break away from the mainstream. Technology is democratizing information. Cellphones have enabled people to topple entire regimes. And again, I'm not sure how the automobile made people 'less' conformist. So you drive the same car that a bajillion others do? How very individualistic of you! I am having to chock this up to you being very young. I see NO ONE in the 20's or younger age taking a car and customizing it into a hot rod, roadster, etc. At 44, my freedom is my own nice vehicle that is customized to be me. In this case a 1994 GMC Suburban with a lift kit, 505 HP 551LBS and yes I am happy with my 11 miles to a gallon. People who see it know it is a suburban, but very different than others and that is the individualist that is missing from the youth today. If you are under 30, you seem to all have Apple Crap I this, I that. No Idea how to actually work hard and perform both manual labor and Critical thinking skills. Youth of today seem to have no time to assist others or respect to elders. Yes as a computer engineer, I know I have contributed to many changes, yet I also am shocked by the youth of today that feel entitled and complain about not getting their way. Youth also seem to be out of touch with this whole Everyone must pay for mass transit. Fact is that Transportation is a luxury you earn, not a Right. Just like cell phones, internet, cars, etc are all luxuries you earn, not a right. Nothing stopping people from walking to work, ridding a bike, etc. Many ways to get around, depends on how much you make and how much you save. Mass transit should always have been about offering a break even pay for itself transportation option for lower income people and those who do not like to drive. It should never have been about taxing those who make more to give transportation to those that choose or cannot afford it. My attitude is, work hard, save up and respect your elders and listen rather than blabber as you just might learn something.

I would agree with you, it does have that, interesting catch.

Yaaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnnn Is all I have to say about this.

Bland Camry style with a Guillotine grill. Very boring and ugly all in one swoop. Amazing if they actually sell this.

Usually you and I see eye to eye on most auto's except here I have to disagree, I like the Terrain allot and hated the old Acadia, glad to see this as their new DNA and look forward to it being put onto the Yukon and Terrain. Love the head lights.

Scarlet Swordfish you have hit it on the head, their styling leaves tons to be desired.

BOOOOOOOOOOO This is the WRONG WAY to go with the Terrain!!! They should have it all Black Chrome and add a turbo to the engine so you have a Terrain Typhoon. Not only are they diluting the Denali luxury by putting it on everything, they are making cookie cutters of the same just about in all sizes. Not happy with this at all. Stupid Mgmt decision. The Terrain is for a younger crowd and should be more hip than the luxury Denali package IMO.

WOW, This is an awesome upgrade with Granite touches, just take this to the Yukon Denali as it is way to Femmy for me, but this would for sure get my attention. Rock on GMC

Be interesting to see if anyone pulls what the lady pulled on Honda. Is that same type of lawsuit in the cards for Hyundai?

Take the Transit and support america, we have seen this and nothing big deal to pay attention to.

Seems if you changed the computer chip to the normal one in the coupe it would not have the limit. Does seem silly to have a limiter on this, if someone wants to kill themselves, it is not the responsibility of ford when it comes to what a person does with their auto.

As long as Transit is unresponsive to the needs of the people, cost the tax payers to support rather than charge a proper price to the riders, Transit can die. In seattle, no different than any other large city, bus fares should be about $5 one way. The fact is the riders should pay enough to cover the cost of the buses, fuel, employees, repairs, insurance. If you choose to not drive and take mass transit, then expect to pay, $50 a week, $10 a day, $5 one way. Mass Transit should be Non-Profit break even cost structure. Most mass transit systems rely on all tax payers to pay for it when most do not use it. I see and understand the need for mass transit in the cities and non poluttion auto's, but for most people who like to live away from the cities, they should not have to pay for someone elses transportation. We pay for our Auto's, the auto insurance, gas and maintenance. Then people think everyone should pay for mass transit that is used by a much smaller group. Before anyone bashes me, My new job is in Downtown Seattle. By Choice I ride the bus as it is a 30 min commute time versus 1hr and expensive parking garages if I drive my car. I still feel the bus fare is too cheap and must be raised to cover the costs without increasing tax's.

I will have to test fit myself if it is really that big, last I tried to fit was at the seattle auto show a couple years back and I had to be reclined when I lke to sit straight up and you are right, no one could sit behind me. I will say that the pictures show a much nicer, masculine dash than the female dash it used to have.
