    Yup, that did not register and now makes my argument against the stupid wood wall even more so as in a 2 door, if you cannot get out the drivers side you now have to crawl over the wall to get out the passenger side. Still do not like that middle wood block. A back seat setup like the CT6 or S-Class is the better way to go I think. If you do not like the middle section then yes two captain chairs with your wood section between them but the foot area is open allowing you to get out either front door.

    What about New York, will Cadillac not have any releases or concepts revealed there? I get non of the others due to size and lack of prestige, but I also wonder like balthazar, when and where will GM unveil the 2019 Sierra? That is why I thought maybe Texas would be the point to show off GMC. There has to be Cadillac at New York I would think, that leaves just GMC release of their 2019 truck and anything else at some show. Just learned that the richest woman in Germany is Susanne Klatten, 53 yrs old worth 20.2 Billion and she inherited BMW with her brother as they own together 50% of the company. They also used to own Atlanta AG a pharmaceutical company but they sold it off last year for $6 billion dollars. Now just focused on BMW. Interesting,

    Originally when Seattle had our KingDome, SODO stood for South of the Dome. Since the KingDome was destroyed and rebuilt for the Seahawks as Quest field, an open air stadium, SODO now stands for South of Downtown.

    @Cubical-aka-Moltar Those are nice buildings that do not look like warehouses. Here is one from the latest news as they debate how to rejuvenate the Sodo district. From the Seahawks football stadium to the south of the West Seattle freeway you can see is what is called the SODO district. Nothing but old warehouse space. 50% still in use, 50% empty sitting useless usually due to not being earthquake safe.

    I would agree with you guys in regards to buildings that have had old masters that did artwork with the brick, roof overhangs, etc. If a building has some real artistry to it and it can be modernized to be earthquake safe and repurpose, then yes. But in the SODO district we are talking old brick or old cement warehouses that were never used as an office building or has real historical importance other than it was built in the late 1800's to early 1900's and are falling apart. Those buildings, tear down and build new.

    I can understand that and would not expect that 99.9% of the time anyone would sit there, but it gives options and looks very nice plus the two outside seats are very comfy equal to captain chairs in my opinion. @ccap41 and @Cubical-aka-Moltar Yes we have the old style Captain Chairs and what MB and Cadillac has done as well as others is make a modern 21st century take on them that allows for better flexibility over the captain chairs.

    MB S-Class comes to mind! Cadillac CT6 is a Perfect Example. To just name a few. I see no reason they could not do this kind of seating in the Rover.
  9. G. David Felt
    Yup, that episode was based on our SODO district here in Seattle.

    Weird, but I can see maybe the release being there and I wonder why JD Powers on their 2017-2018 auto show list does not list Chicago. I totally forgot about it. Maybe the crime families did not pay JD off! Weird, must be the size thing as this is not on the JD Powers auto show list either.

    Yup, I agree it is not the prettiest truck out there, but the aerodynamics are there for an EV powertrain or a very efficient small engine as an inner city truck.

    I disagree, there have been captain chair bench seats that are very luxurious and gives you that option of having the mid seat. For me having individual captain chairs here is fine and I would like that with a center stack between the chairs but the open space in the foot area. The two rear passengers should be able to easily get out either door and not have to step over a center wall divide. All you stated and the story states it will have can be done without having to have the wall there. This can still be very luxurious with two captain chairs and no center wall in the foot area.

    I have searched and not found any firm dates, but we only have the following shows left: Baltimore 2/8/18 - 2/11/18 I expect nothing here. Dallas 2/14/18-2/18/18 I can see the Sierra being launched here in Texas. GMC product launch makes sense to me. Minneapolis/St.Paul 3/10/18-3/18/18 I expect nothing here. Atlanta 3/21/18-3/25/18 New York 3/30/18 - 4/8/18 I expect Cadillac, might have GMC too. Birmingham 4/12/18 - 4/15/18 Austin 4/20/18 - 4/22/18 Nothing at the last 3 as they have never been release shows.

    Yea, time to rebuild and modernize the cities and roads, history in the books and stop trying to save every bloody road and building. Europe needs a massive revitalization as their cities stink, roads stink, the best place is Germany for Driving but even then crazy nut jobs want to still also save every freaking old building. Everything has a lifespan and needs to be replaced eventually. Moron nuts in Seattle are trying to get all these old late 1800's warehouse building put on the stupid preservation list to save and they just need to be torn down and built with new modern buildings as well as replace the sucky brick roads we still have in the sodo district. Talk about a nightmare equal to Detroit for pot holes and crappy auto rides.

    I know it is leather but every WHITE Leather interior looks dirty and cheap fast. I have never seen any auto builder have a white leather interior that still looks good only months after use. Just the wrong color in an Auto in my opinion. I have see plenty of interiors that have had those things without the dividing wall. Rolls, Bentley, MB in the S class. I just do not see the needs to isolate people that way with the wall, my opinion on it.
  16. G. David Felt
    Good Luck Jeep, They have lots of work to do to make the crappy Fiat 500 / Panda off road worthy.

    Nice, I can live with a two tone interior, but the wife would hate it as it is not uniform for her OCD approach to life. My only dislike is the White Leather. What morons think White is a smart move? Talk about showing all the dirt fast, high maintenance if you want it to stay looking bright and clean, White interior is just not a smart move for the Lazy Human population. Would be nice to have a Forest Green Leather interior with a warm earth brown. dash and doors. I have come to HATE, Yup HATE these interiors that have wall dividers in the back seat. Can we isolate and separate people any more ? Even in a luxury high end interior, I just do not see the need for that center mass on top of wasted seating space.

    I am really surprised that nothing has leaked yet for the New York auto show then it is very early as that show is March 30th to April 8th. So other than Cadillac, I wonder what else GM might show off at that show?
  19. G. David Felt
    Good questions that I also was wondering about but I have not found a detailed compensation plan for him besides what they released. I thought that for a publicly traded company they had to show the full details of the CEO compensation plan.

    Makes one wonder if it will be AWD only? Have to agree that FWD, TTV6 makes no sense to me.
  21. G. David Felt
    Interesting, so does this announcement as stated by the CEO mean that Acura is NOT to be considered a mid level luxury but a performance line of products above Honda? Makes one wonder if that means a 3rd name brand that is pure luxury could come out?
  22. G. David Felt
    Cool, so did they have to drag it out of the garage or where you able to get it to start so you could back it out? Sucks that they put the started in such a stupid place. Reminds me of some old auto's where the oil plug was facing the exhaust pipe and if you let it flow out it would hit and could if hot ignite. Engineers can build some amazing things but also really screw up basic stuff. Thanks for sharing Drew.
  23. G. David Felt
    OUCH, that will hurt the pocket book to have the dealer fix it or do you have a solid certified mechanic at some other garage?
  24. G. David Felt
    What Died this time on it?
  25. G. David Felt
    Must be reliving the years when they were making money and ignoring the auto scene. I do wonder if the cost of the autos now will ever be recovered. Must really love their old iron to pay such crazy prices.
