ATS just shows how much better value it is compared to this auto. 464 HP & 445 lb-ft torque. This will beat that over priced ugly lexus.

I have to disagree here that this car is about $20,000 over priced in comparison to other like auto's on the market and grossly under powered with even less Torque. Cadillac is a superior auto with better value all the way around.

Buick News: Buick To Drop Name Badge Beginning in 2019
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
I get the point of an export auto able to go to any market if they do not have to worry about having a specific badge on an auto. Buick on US bound auto's versus no Buick on all the rest, makes it easier to fulfill orders if your not having to deal with a Name or no Name on the auto. Makes business sense. -
Yea, I have seen how Millennials as well as older people have no respect for the BMW and Mercedes-benz rental car programs on the street of Seattle. The auto's are a mess. No way I would want to let others trash my auto.

Buick News: Buick To Drop Name Badge Beginning in 2019
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
You will love the Envision, they are awesome CUVs. My sister is really happy with hers and I know it has made me a fan again. They are great roomy very quiet auto's. -
Thank you, I bing'd and googled it but did not come up with anything that made sense. Guess I might just be a bit too nerdy of an engineer to think that low into the gutter. Course now that I get it, I can laugh about it.

OK, just like late night TV that is supposed to be comedy and I never got it so why bother watching, I do not get what is so funny or why BREAD 8 would be a band license plate?

I like them dropping the name, no need when you have the badge there. -
PASS, Knowing how people trash rentals, I will not have my nice clean well kept auto's trashed by others.

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Silverado Adds Medium Duty To The Family
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
OK, so then our basic HD trucks pollute more than these medium commercial trucks and so they have to be detuned? -
VW News: There Will Not Be A Successor to the Volkswagen Beetle
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
But as we have already seen, this is not a death for ever of the bug and they clearly can bring it back when there is more demand, but at this point the bulk of society that wants a bug has a bug and the larger more profitable market has moved onto CUV's and clearly a demand for the VW Bus again or aka ID Buzz.- 16 replies

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Silverado Adds Medium Duty To The Family
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
Good thoughts, be interesting to find out, if the engine is a pre exhaust fluid, then they should have updated to the current tune with exhaust fluid. All commercial companies love torque to tow and move their loads. Be interesting to see what Bill digs up. Thanks -
Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Silverado Adds Medium Duty To The Family
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
I am all for cleaner but in reading it again based on your reply, the engine is the same in both auto's just a different tune that allows it to meet the emissions requirements for the weight class. That is how I read it myself. @William Maley Bill is it two different engines or the same engine with two different tunes? -
Talk about BLIND SPOTS with those fins!

WOW Who would have thunk that if you build an auto that Americans want with names they like that sales would increase. for the last 40 years you could tell that a small car company attitude for Europe and Asian is not what works in America.

Honda News: A Slow Start for the 2018 Honda Accord
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Honda
Toyota is wanting to keep everyone as far away from their golden goose as possible and Honda is going to have to accept that the investment to keep their Accord on par with the Camry comes with the cost of having to take less money upfront to recover R&D. It might be a great improvement, but most people have moved away from cars and to have 600 sitting on a lot is just crazy. Cost of doing business when you are the #1 or #2 car in a shrinking segment. I would not be surprised to see most automakers reduce their cars to just a couple. -

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Plans A Two-Seat Bolt
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
Proving how closed minded you are, the interior space was never an issue for me, plenty in the front and back. The wife could not accept the white accent V in the dash. As such we wait for other EV options. Nice try but then you knew that and your comment fails. -
Manuals are on their deathbed. Very few people can drive them, very few want to even bother with them anymore. The day of a manual is coming to its end.

VW News: There Will Not Be A Successor to the Volkswagen Beetle
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
And you continue to FEAR that CHANGE is inevitable. Buyers are NOT Buying Manuals, Buyers are not buying Bugs, Personal Choice of lifestyle has made CUV the king now, fact supported by Sales Numbers. Yes everything is probably paid for so that they could continue to produce their small number of bugs, but then the assembly line is needed to produce other items that have bigger desire by the public. As Drew stated, Choice is what will finally have EVs take off and that is coming. Lucky for you your job will still be around due to idiots crashing their EV's no different than ICE auto's. Repairs must be made.- 16 replies

Thanks for the update, very cool info!

Interesting how you never see the Germans making performance runs at Bonneville!

Exciting but they must do better than 700BHP. Tesla already has this staked in the ground with their AWD S model. 2018 Tesla S P100D 760 HP / 920 Lb-Ft Torque 2018 Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid TTV8 / Electric assist = 680 HP / 626 Lb-Ft Torque Less just say, that Tesla is the Yard Stick and Porsche has some catching up to do.
