What's the matter with that? That's what the Cobalt SS had. True, I really liked the looks of the Cobalt SS supercharged version. The sound really is nice, I see plenty of them around seattle, but maybe it is the setup as I see young people driving them and when ever they step on it, wheel spin and sideways movement rather than power down, straight line blast. Just sad to have so much power and not really be able to get it to the pavement. Course it could also be all those young kids not knowing how to drive power also. So far, while fun, I have not really found a car since my 91 Escort GT that was really fun to drive with power in a FWD configuration. Just does not seem to have the kick in the pants fun factor. But I am willing to test drive and assess if this car can deliver!

That is too funny, We should start a thread on popular names and what they really mean! FORD = Failure on Race Day MOPAR = Mostly Old Parts and Rust GM = Generation Midlife Chevy = Buick = GMC = Pontiac = Saturn = Oldsmobile = Mercury = Lincoln = Dodge = Plymouth = Etc. we could have so much fun with this. I know there are some not PC versions but they are funny. Shucks = O'Rielly's = PEPBOYS = Be creative and come up with a blast of new name meanings.

Is that not why you then upgrade the system to aftermarket performance versions to resolve said issues? Because of the New Manly body design language or the diesel? Well I already did a review of the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo and really enjoyed the car. I like anything diesel, so I expect I would enjoy the Beetle TDI even more. That review Rocked It will be good to have you recap the Turbo and compare it to the Diesel when it is available. Two fun Performance rides.

Sweet, Turbo setup. I wonder if this is the same engine that will be in the ATS or at least a like version being this is FWD and the ATS is RWD.

Interesting, give a good idea of where they are going, but as Olds Says, do NOT judge the fit and finish, this is a mule that will be crushed and destroyed when done. This is not what a customer should expect. I do like the Turbo Engine cover. I wonder if this is a twin scroll or single turbo? Anyone have any better details of this new turbo engine for Caddy?

WOW, just what the public DOES NOT need. Another button, Sorry I do not want, need or even have for free a Iphone auto.

Because of the New Manly body design language or the diesel?

NG would be cool to have, imagen what 130 Octane would do for a V6 powered CNG Camero. Rock on CNG

Altima is just FWD and a Nissan, though. Apples and oranges. I suspect one reason they are axing the G25 is a new smaller entry level Infiniti model is coming, I've read. But the G25x is not really selling and everyone says 90% of the buying public could care less between RWD and FWD. So this should not matter if the car is a solid built auto. Just like people do not think about Audi being FWD unless they get a Quattro model.

This is so true about Honda, They have issues that might not be possible to fix until they clean house on management. This was the same problem at GM. A horse with blinders on will not see the danger till it is over.

Freakin HOT wagon

I agree with Cubical that I do love the straight 6, I had good experiances with Jeep, but V6 I have not had good experiances with. It would be cool to have small 6 or 4 cylinder CNG engines or Diesels.

Why, you can get a nicer altima at a better deal. The G25x is their dead ugly duckling. These changes should come as no surprise to anyone. They have moved to get a little more competative with everyone else now. The real news is when they start to show off the new models to replace the existing ones.

Sounds Pretty sweet for the Diesel VW Bug. That will be a hot little seller for them.

Very Cool Cars

WHY WHY WHY?????? What freakin moron would waste a C6 or any Corvette for that matter doing this butt ugly mods to it!!!

Yea, I avoid Pep Boys with a passion, I use Napa. They at least always have the parts or can get them fast and I have yet to meet anyone but smart people there that actually know product rather than just a follow the computer and replace a part mentality.

WOW, Talk about the cleaning of the grill mess. That would not be fun to clean, I would have thought they would have welded and smoothed it all down for ease of cleaning. Cool but a waste of a nice car.

Very cool about the corvette. I did not know the difference either.

WOW WOW WOW, I wished I could have got a photo. On the way to the folks yesterday, I saw a beautifully restored 1952 Dodge Pickup. Was very cool. I loved the curved corner windows in the truck so you really had no blind spot. The truck was a custom gold color, but boy was it beautiful.

Well, this is a problem, as an awful lot of CNG conversion parts are being sold in this country. The EPA should either enforce it or let the end user have a certain amount of leeway, provided the sniffer test is happy. Do these use a tank? I like the idea of having an extra tank that is already filled at 1/2 gallon an hour... ready for a quicker fill up if needed. The PHILL unit is a Time Fill only system. The Small Q and Big Q units can have holding tanks for a fast or faster fill option.

I have to Dis-agree with you and others here about a GM EcoBoost V6 version. I remember the last time the industry tried to put V6 into trucks, Ford blew actually, terrible engine. Dodge has not had a pretty history either. The V8 with Auto in the Dakota was just as fuel efficient as the so called V6 with manual and if you kept your foot out of it was even better. I know as I bought a V6 with 5 speed manual and the milage sucked, for the 250K miles I had the truck, I never got better than 16 and this is a fact well known. A truck is a work vehicle and right now the history of V6 powered either Natural or Turbo is terrible for the US. I would rather trust a 4 Banger Diesel or V6 Diesel in a full size truck before a V6 Gas powerplant. I DO NOT see the V6 being better than a small block V8 in a full size truck. The people buying up the F150 will prove this point as I predict the engine will die of much shorter miles life than a small block V8 and the fuel efficiency will not live up to the over blown EPA numbers.

4 Banger Diesel baby or maybe a v6 You can have your awesome Torque for pulling, Awesome Fuel milage as only Diesels do.

I agree that we need to end distracted driving, not really sure that having states pass laws is the right way to go versus a single law that all states should enforce. Sad the video about the little girl who got killed on the dot web site. I do wonder if this will really make a differance. Washington state has distraction driving law, texting law, cell conversation only with Blue tooth device, must be hands free. Yet I see thousands a day as I ride the bus to and from work that are on their cell phones or worse, putting on makeup, shaving, eating a bowl of food. So just how does demanding states to pass laws change this behavior? Seems a waste of time, If the FED's are to dictate rules, then dictate one law and move forward, not a series of cray state laws that are all different from one another.

Cool and yet yawn, FWD with 260HP
