  1. Sweet Ride, would love to have one to drive around here in Seattle and just piss off all the tree huggers
  2. Nope that works for me. A single place to go to get info on the cars.
  3. Just found this in the media center of GM. The 2.8-liter turbo diesel yields 180 hp and a very impressive 346 lb-ft of torque. For reference, that's just 20 horsepower shy of the base 4.8-liter V8 in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, but it's also 41 more lb-ft of torque. GM hasn't released any fuel economy estimates on either diesel engine, but both can be mated to either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive versions of the Colorado make use of a two-speed, electronically actuated transfer case. Thought this is pretty amazing for such a small engine to be so powerful, just hope it truly can last like a v8. Wish they would confirm the towing capabilities.
  4. Everyone loves THAT Ghibli...I was talking about this one... I have to say that while the gold car is nice, I actually like this muscular boxy look of the silver car. Sweet ride.
  5. Considering that it has 3-rows of seats, I doubt a longer-wheel base 5-door model will ever show up. Now going the other way - shortening it to a 3-door - would be much appreciated. Land Rover is planning to offer a 3-door Defender (as per the concepts shown already), and GM was known for years to offer a 3-door Blazer, so it would be logical that a sportier, back to its roots 3-door would be at least in the planning stage at this point. I really did not think they would offer the LWB as it was a mess the last time. I just wish they would make the third row an option as I know few people who ever use them. I would rather see the price drop and the cargo space improve. The third row may be great for those who don't use birth control or travel to Mecca but for most people it is just in the way. As an option it is there for those who really want it if needed. Hyperv6 I have to totally disagree with you over the 3rd row seat. The reason my daughter, son and wife love the 99 Durango we have is that when you need space for cargo, you have it, but then when you need a few extra seats for carring people, you can pull them up and have them also. This trailblazer allows you to squeeze in a few more kids or a couple of adults for short trips and that give a ton of value in my opinion.
  6. wow, this is freaking lovely. It would be perfect for me to replace my daughters 99 durango with. Now I just hope GM wakes up and brings it here as I currently do not like anything in the chevy family other than the tahoe and suburban and those are too big for my daughter. I wanted a trailblazer ss but then came the end of the line and so now I am looking around and waiting.
  7. So this XTS is not a car for me or many others here it would seem. Yet it will sell well as it does have an audience that is wanting it. My dad, 70 years old was very upset when Caddy anounced the death of the DTS. He was waiting till he retired to get his final retirement car. Since I showed him the pictures of the xts, he is very excited and this Friday when we go to our Cadillac party at Dougs NW Cadillac he is planning on talking with Brad the saleman who has sold all our cadillacs and hummers into our family about the ability to order up an XTS. I truly see a market for this and Cadillac does also. We cannot overlook those in their late 50's and older who like a auto like the XTS. It will offer expanded growth to the caddy family.
  8. That baby is awesome, if I had extra cash it would be a great purchase to own and drive.
  9. Love the warm interior. For the exterior, I am so tired of all the Chrome Bling. I would rather have it all monochromatic or maybe use Black Chrome instead on this color combo.
  10. I would still take the Volt over the Prius. It is a way over rated auto. Not to mention that while GM might not have hit it with their original electric car in the 90's, the Prius does show that if you have the right product at the right time it will sell.
  11. Good Job, Protect American technology from China. They love to pirate stuff for free.
  12. No way to pay a ticket change fee and book it to be used on an actual trip like the detroit auto show?
  13. Nice replacement for the DTS crowd. Excited to see it in real life.
  14. http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/story/2011-11-09/Toyota-recall-cars-steering/51130852/1?csp=YahooModule_News In the United States, the automaker is recalling 283,200 Toyota brand cars, including the 2004 and 2005 Camry, Highlander, Sienna and Solara, the 2004 Avalon and the 2006 Highlander HV. Its recall of 137,000 Lexus vehicles includes the 2004 and 2005 ES330 and RX330 and 2006 RX400h.
  15. The leaf while being plentiful in Seattle is a joke. Talk about a way over priced as they all are advertised starting at $34K, but on the lot, with the 2nd sticker they are all over $40K. I see a number of them for private sale with a few hundred miles and still priced at over $40K. If you have money to burn I guess you can have a toy, but not worth the time or money in a state where you have to travel due to a very poor mass transit system.
