  2. Oldsmoboi you are right on the mark, anyone who does their homework should realize tha the M6 is an over priced Pig with lipstick. Nothing there to brag about except the name BMW M6 Sadly there are idiots who will waste their money on this car because it is not American and has to be bette than a CTS-V.
  3. I think GM is doing the right thing by using successful Ideas from past vehicles to make a current product even better. Since Saturn is a dead company, I see no reason why this should bother anyone. So far everyone I have shown the new Acadia to really has liked it.
  4. Oldsmoboi, you must be in the 5'8" - 5'10" club as I could not fit even in a Mini-Clubman. They are just way to small for big people.

  6. I totally agree, I expect to see us drop the whole FWD/RWD in favor of AWD as Hybrids like the Volt become common sense and as we push Clean, Hi output Diesel engines like the Duramax 2.8L, I can see us continue to get better milage as we merge these engines with battery packs and electric motors. I can see one day driving a full size AWD SUV up the mountain with a 1L Turbo generator that manages 100 miles a gallon and you have a small 5 or 10 gallon tank at most as the space of past fuel tanks are replaced by Battery packs. HOW does this relate to Kids hate Auto? Simple, as we break the traditional bounderies of auto's giving longer milage on cleaner auto's while delivering the ability for youth to have their active life style, we will see more and more youth come back to designing auto's. Just as a colllege has come up with a way to put coils in the roads to power electric auto's long range, eventually we will have drive free cars where people will not have to think about driving, just get in, tell it where to go and sit back, sleep, read the news, watch a show, etc. Kids hate auto's today is due in part to the Cost and the Bland boring cars. Just look at all the bland style that comes out of Japan and yet we can also see the potential in what is coming out of Detroit, Korea and elsewhere.
  7. We the dreamers need to show them the way to exciting auto's.
  8. SWEET, this is very cool! I cannot wait to see this car on a test drive at the track.
  9. Totally agree, they need to remember that Dreams is what drives the passion. You need a quality Dream auto along with Quality auto to fund the dreams that keep people coming back for more.
  10. They need to bring the 2.8L Duramax Diesel here in the New TrailBlazer.
  11. I like em, hope it helps GM drive down the cost and bring those engines and the new Trailblazer here to the US.
  12. I am hearing more and more the late teens and 20 something crowd want AWD to get to the mountains to play and Great gas milage to get to and from work. I see some that want the cool speed cars, but more and more want an all around vehicle to haul their friends and live an active life style. At least here in Seattle.
  13. Personally We need to demand that the government take away the speculation that Ex Prez Bush allowed. Speculation in oil and gas is hurting not helping this country. Only a few really get ahead on this. Speculation is bad for this country and the world. We do not need to have the rich few use the stock market as their own personal gambling casino.
  14. Over all regardless if you are a demobot or RepubliRat, The TARP dollars had to be done for the well being of this country. Anyone who wants to blame Bush or Obama, need to wake up to the fact that our current Depression would have been much worse if we did not bail out the financial industry and the auto industry. The time now is to cut out the waste and stop being a world police and focus on rebuilding our country as we pay off our Debt.
  15. Leave the luxury to RWD and anything FWD to Chevy.
  16. Oil Companies refine and ship more gas out of the country, they are clearly do this for their own profits and the free market will support this, but at a brutal cost to the majority of americans.
  17. I believe it is correct that the Suicide doors are history. The new requirements for Roll Over make keeping them on SUV's or Trucks with High Center of Gravity a hard thing to do. Safety will trump people preference for the wide open suicide doors. I liked them, but I understand the Safety Police wanting better roll over protection.
  18. So who got a hairless kiss? Come on speak up I know someone got one.
  19. WOW, those aer some pretty interesting styling exercises. I see a happy face in the rear and a menacing face in the front. Leaves me with a shark like feeling, not bad but will wait to see the real thing.
  20. I wonder what it would take to setup and import these babis here just like the company in california did with the R34 and R35 Skylines? I suspect you could clearly build a loyal following and make sure the diesel setup can handle BioDiesel and then you would have a hard core group that would love ya.
  21. Nice picture of the guys, but the auto is just blaw.
  22. My wife watched this on the news this morning at 5am PST with me and the first thing out of her mouth was, That is one of the ugliest Jelly Bean auto's ever. Do they have no one that understands style? I do like the rear doors though, but would pass on the rest. Very interesting observation of the wife who usually could care less about the auto's. I do agree that the style leaves much to be desireed.
  23. Somebody forgot that style is a requirement, this is lacking in that and much more. Ford Transit wins over this.
