  1. This would be fun to have body shells that could be swapped out to give it alternative looks. But is it even legal for the roads here. Maybe considering they brought in the coffin smart car.
  2. Yes, the freedoms we seattlelites enjoy are many. Now to just keep the Excessive Liberal freeloaders at bay. Good thing we have rain so often, it keeps the lazy freeloaders at a minimum since it is not that comfy to liveon the street.
  3. I wonder how close we are to getting the price of the hybrid into everything. Is it still a $10,000 delta as stated 5 years ago?
  4. Long Live Heart and Barracuda!!!
  5. 67impss, I agee that I do not see this as a softening of the look but a cheapening of it. I wonder just how much their costs are starting to affect them.
  6. This makes sense considering that with Quality you get higher income buyers who wants more in a auto, so the builders and dealers will put more on the cars. Plus with all the new safety features this can truly jack up the price of the auto's. Will be interesting to see who becomes the new Low Price Leader?
  7. Paint Jobs are way better on this Cruze.
  8. I wonder if some of the people on here like to post just to post rather than contribute? I know we all like to agree with others at times, but it seems some tend to be specific in posting stretched info. Comparing Apples to Pears seems to be common place now.
  9. Silver Audi RS parked in front of my work place, very clean and detailed, the rain should muddy it up later today here in Seattle.
  10. Nice, should serve him well. Good luck.
  11. So as the last of a dead bread, Please review it and compare fit and finish of modern cars today to this dinosaur and did they do a nice job being it is night and day between the engineering of this car and todays Lincolns.
  12. This is one car that is more or less ready for the scrap pile.
  13. That baby is in one beautiful shape. I did not know they had Cadillac branded CB's as an option. Sweet Ride!
  14. I see the Barracuda song making a come back!
  15. Be interesting to see how long the camera for adjusting suspension will take to get to all vehicles or will it be technology that dies. I have a hard time seeing any real value in this compared to what GM has accomplished with their Magnetic Ride system.
  16. I so hate Facebook, what a worthless site. They continue to prove why I will never open an account. No image to see and they try to pushout pop up crap and say you need to join to see an image. So far this Snake is not winning any points with me. It still seems ugly and I for one am not impressed with this way of trying to get interest in their Halo Car.
  17. Sweet, I can take the biggest bomb they have and nuke Olympia and still survive
  18. Looks like it was ricered. Nope not a fan.
  19. wow, ammazing video
  20. Right now they need to get their house in order and clean up the excessive cost of teh Euro Unions and the run aways spending before they consider doing a mid luxury or highend luxury model. Get the foundation right and then build.
  21. The Cadillac Version I agree will probably be the answer to getting the VOLT price to drop faster by getting the R&D cost covered by the higher income users.
  22. Sweet, always a sucker for a clean and polished ride.
  23. With your Suburban, 13 combined MPG * 42-gallon tank = 546 miles. Yes, you can go far, but you aren't achieving anything close to good fuel economy... Fuel Economy is in the eye of the beholder. My wife was rearended twice. The first time we were in my Aunts Delta 88 at a stop light in Huntington Beach CA when a Suburban rear ended us totaling the auto and severly hurting my wife who was in the back seat. The second time was when a Washington State DOT truck was not paying attention to traffic and rear ended my wife in our Ford Escort we had for her driving required merchandising job and again got severly injured. What Price do you put on quality of life over gas milage? For me, that was the end to me having family members drive small auto's. The suburban had barely a dent to it's front metal bumper and the DOT truck according to pictures taken by WSP in their police report showed nothing but scratches to the DOT truck and yes our 2 year old escort was totaled. My wife and I would rather fill up a tank and have protective steel around us than deal with the body damage caused by other poor drivers. So from my point of view, Gas milage is all relative in relation to QUALITY OF LIFE! My wife loves the suburban for the room, comfort and the line of sight due to sitting up much higher as our suburban has a 3" lift kit. For us, we will never get rid of our full Size SUV's. Yes I know I spend far more on gas each month than the average person, about $600 a month, but it is well worth it. Buy an S60 and she'd likely be better off in both regards. (active headrests for rear end collisions) S60 would be considered if it was built and run by an american company and if the wife liked the looks of volvo's. We have all GM auto's. In both accidents, the seats were totally broken from the connections in the floor as to how hard the hits were, even with Active headrests I still think she would have gotten some form of wiplash. The first car did not have headrest as to why I think it was so bad and the 2nd car had them and lucky for her she was resting on it so she only agrivated her old injury rather than causing new damage.
  24. Have a safe business trip.
