    Sounds like the M2 is now what the M3 used to be as an economical power house auto that people liked. M3 / M4 have gotten stupid crazy in price.

    Do not forget the awesome multi colored Cadillac Badge!

    ???? Correcting you as you missed 3 models of Tesla!

    If they don't this could be the start of a slow death. Sales are already showing that due to Dieselgate!

    I had a number of Die Hard Subaru coworkers that said Gen 2.0 of this car will be called the Revoltis! Yup, Toyota bought GM's ownership shares of Subaru at Bankruptcy or it was just before. This is why they use so much of Toyota now in their cars.

    Probably on sale around the same date if not sooner than the AMG EV. This is being built on the BOLT Powertrain / platform. China Auto show I suspect will show many near production ready versions of EV for the China market first and then Globally. Bolt already can be built with a more powerful motor and LG has the battery pack that would support the miles stated here already. Interesting times we live in as we move into a more EV market. Your exploding orgasmically inside but just not willing to show anyone. I know the truth!

    Wrong Wrong Wrong again, as I stated, UNOFFICIAL LAP TIMES! ESTIMATES of Lap Time. Right now Porsche and Chevrolet are dialing in the auto's. Taking a built car and then first run on the track always is higher than a dialed in car with an official lap run. Even the story title says UNOFFICIAL! I am sure your AMG Project One will do low Six until the AWD Corvette EV comes in and SPANKS IT! Yup the records will fall with this until the AWD EV Corvette comes out, then again AMG will FALL!

    Ya know they had to do something being late to the party and since Toyota owns them, it only makes sense to reduce costs by putting the Prius powertrain into a Subaru. With Subaru's Global One Platform that all auto's they make and sell are moved onto, they will be having to beef up the Prius Powertrain to make it work but should have a solid product.

    Japan is the only country globally that has approved cameras for side mirrors that would just show everything on a large LCD screen inside. So real Mirrors will be there, otherwise I can see just about everything else making it.

    http://carsalesbase.com/china-car-sales-analysis-2017-brands/ Have to say this site is great for looking at the numbers. Will say that Buick slipped from #2 in 2016 to #4. Check out the list for the full 77 auto manufactures in China. WOW 77 auto companies. ? Sales pecking order is as follows: VW top dog Honda Geely Buick Toyota Nissan Changan Baojun Haval Ford Hyundai Dongfeng Chevrolet BAIC Audi Wuling GAC Chery Mercedes-Benz BYD SAIC Roewe BMW KIA Skoda Mazda Zotye Huansu Peugeot JAC Jeep FAW Cadillac

    New modern logo that is not Bland, Generic German is a Good thing. New Marketing that actually is regional focused, what a concept! ? One would have thought they would have clued into this 20 years ago when they were so bland. VW could have done so much more in the US but has always been a wallflower. Time for a 21st century makeover!

    Starting this thread to post weird tech news. Have to say that with all the news on security issues, one would think twice about buying stuff without knowing if it is secure or not, but nope, seems we have a whole new wave of tech toys that are as secure as one slurping ice cream at the store without paying for it yet. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/this-iot-dildo-has-an-embedded-wifi-streaming-camera-and-laughable-security/ Who would have thought, but we now have WiFi streaming cameras with LED lights on Dildo's with Laughable security. WOW ?

    Love this concept, This is futuristic and hot! If this is the EV concept they said they would reveal based on the Bolt, then the battery pack range is in line with the LG announcements of denser batteries that could go into the bolt. It would also seem a more powerful motor. This is very exciting. I really like the body style. Talk about a very fresh clean break from the past with this concept. This also makes me think of where Cadillac will be going with their interior refresh auto's to come. I know that some members will bash it due to being an EV or for the black plastic over the wheel wells and other places, but this is top notch when you compare to other EV Concepts shown so far by German or Asian companies.

    Good to see that they are there, both Chevrolet and Porsche working to set new records, but as you stated and the story states, NOT OFFICIAL, so we have no Idea what really was being done. It takes both faster and much slower laps to dial in an auto for an official time test run. It would have been better if he had posted this story and said currently the 755hp Corvette is being worked on for a new official test run but observations show it does not beat the current AMG GT official time yet.

    @A Horse With No Name & @Cubical-aka-Moltar Tesla had the early adopters that would be forgiving to them with quirks. Now they have mainstream customers buying thinking Tesla would be like Apple and cool like Apple but Tesla is not robust and solid like Apple. I WANT Tesla to survive and win, but they need to realize that the software industry is very different than the auto industry and they need to make sure they alpha and beta test before shipping product to the public now.

    Lots of people are posting that their Tesla 3 are in limp home mode as the controls through the one big touch screen has shown up broken and had to be replaced or failed to respond and went into limp home mode. We are talking a new car from the OEM that is broken before the buyer really gets to use it. Right now, A+ to Tesla for cool tech, pushing the bloody edge of auto tech, F- for delivering a broken auto to the customer and not having manual switches as an option to the touch screen.

    DOH ? Who would have thunk that HUMANS are needed to produce an auto! ?

    WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, STOP making up stories to support your delusion! STICK TO THE FACTS! In 2011, The 2012 Corvette ZR1 was 1.63 seconds slower than the faster auto, Porsche GT2 RS at Nurburgring. 7:18 for Porsche versus 7:19.63 for the Corvette. AMG GT was the 2012 model tested then and it performed 7:30 confirmed by the AMG Chairmen confirmed based on multiple sources. That is the last time the Corvette ZR1 was tested at the track. As of 2017, official confirmed numbers for latest 2017 auto's unless dated stated: 6:47.25 - Porsche 911 GT2 RS 6:57 - Porsche 918 Spyder 7:01.3 - Dodge Viper ACR 7:10.92 - AMG GT R 7:13.9 Corvette C7 Z06 7:16.04 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE (2018)

    According to the story as I stated, they took out the loaner vehicles and registered to the dealers to go with true VIN registered sales. After all it is based on a true percentage and those BMW and MB auto's do not sell as many as other auto companies. So the percentage is higher for a smaller pool than say those that bought a Toyota, Chevy etc. If you followed the link, you will see each % for each auto that is actually traded back in and while the #1 auto was 8%, the rest were between 3 to 7%. Still small amount but I figure the registration is what it is to the whole pool sold and in the case of say the E-Class, if you did it for global sales not just US, it would not even be on the list considering how many E-Class are sold globally. US market is just so much smaller. Having had big and small dogs, they always got along fine, never had a problem. I think most dogs get along fine no matter the size unless the dog is not very socialized and as such tends to be a problem dog. More uncommon than common.

    Subaru trademarks "Evoltis" for First Hybrid Subarus has filed with the US Patent and Trademark office for the auto name Evoltis. This will be their first Hybrid based on the Toyota Prius powertrain. Many are hoping that unlike Toyota, Subaru will do their due diligence to build it as an AWD auto. Autoblog story

    Tesla Model 3 Shut Down for a Week! Seems Buzzfeed website just released the news that the Tesla 3 will have a week delay just as it had it's first week of 2,500 production built model 3 done. This is according to the CEO to make adjustments in the software of the automation robots to allow for production to increase to hit their stated 5,000 per week goal. Seems more robots was not better than more humans in building the auto's. The story goes on to say workers will have to use a week of PTO or go unpaid as the line is updated. According to the Story, Musk posted on April 1st that the company had gone out of business and he was wandering Palo Alto drinking Teslaquilla. ? Seems that the lackluster quality of the Model 3, production slowness, investigations into accidents all have led to this shutdown to tweak the manufacturing process. This makes one think about Musk's original comments when he said they did not need an Alpha or Beta test of the production line to begin building and selling Model 3's. OOPS, Guess that did not work out like planned!

    Cars Buyers cannot wait to dump! Worst Purchase ever based on a review of the "iSeeCars.com web site looking at Vins that were relisted between 4 months and 1 year at auto dealers. According to the story, new cars that had fewer than 4000 miles which usually is program auto's at dealerships was excluded from this, looking at true auto's bought new and then traded in. FORBES 11 auto's buyers cannot wait to dump! Seems these auto's are the most common bought and then dumped in the first year. #11 - Nissan Versa #10 - Subaru WRX #9 - Chrysler 200 #8 - Mercedes-Benz E-Class #7 - BMW 4 Series #6 - BMW X3 #5 - Dodge Dart #4 - Nissan Versa Note #3 - Mercedes-Benz C-Class #2 - BMW 5 series #1 - BMW 3 Series Amazing that 8% of the #1 auto are traded back in within the first year of ownership and on average all these auto's take a 20% hit in value. OUCH! ?
