    Alfa is only worth Billions on the books from the Billions the IDIOT CEO stole from the American brands and pumped into a dead product that has only sold a few thousand world wide. Alfa sold 8904 cars in the World excluding the US and 1648 in the US. Giving them a Generous 75K sales price per auto, that is only $791,400,000, so 3/4 of a Billion dollars and they have spent close to 10 Billion on the platforms and trying to bring Alfa back from the Grave. NO WAY the product is worth billions if they sold it off. Lucky if they could get a Billion. Alfa a waste compared to what they should have done with reinvesting the billions back into better products for the US names plates then maybe try to bring Alfa back.

    Badge snobs will buy the Alfa CUV crap, but I really do not see them making profits from the Alfa line compared to the losses they have incured for neglecting the American brands and pushing crappy Fiat here.

    This Denali sales thing with the fact that GMC sold approx 33K versus Cadillac 9K does make one wonder if GM shut down Cadillac, could GMC be their Luxury line, Buick Mid and Chevy Entry and reduce costs?

    So the auto no only looks angry but still very butt ugly and spec wise, over priced. I really do not see the justification in the price to auto spec. My gut tells me this brand will be back dead or back to Europe only in 5 to 10 years at most. Wasted money trying to bring back a dead italian brand when they could have better invested it in the US name plates and worked to build a decent Fiat.

    Rock It GMC!

    Where is the Auto Love from the owner. I just do not get this use and throw away attitude. So much lovely metal going to waste!

    Weird part is that while my son has a Jeep Grand Cherokee that he loves and his girlfriend likes it too, Kay has stated she loves station wagons and thinks they are better than CUVs. She currently has a BMW and is planning on once she finished her degree as she also works during the day at Amazon. But I sent her these pics and asked her what she thought, she liked the V90 and even better liked the V60, so for this millennial I am surprised that a station wagon is what she wants.

    Poor Cadillac, RIP!

    Nice update to the modern station wagon. Just hope the interior got a proper luxury update as the current V90 interior is not the best.

    Hankook I have always found to be really noisy tires in multiple different sizes from low profile to traditional. I have always had family and friends change them out. My only concern last time I looked at the Continental is that unlike the Michelin tires that have nature sipping all the way to the 10% mark of the tire by design, the Continental design of the tires as it is for Bridgestone also goes to 50% of tire life and then you actually lose tire traction and performance unless your in a dry climate. Quiet tire and people seem to like them but I do wonder how at the half life part of the tire how well they will hold up. Understandable all tires lose grip / performance as they wear out, but you have to understand some tires handle it better than others and the safety of my family is worth the extra money on the Michelin tires. Please keep us updated as I would really like to know how they are doing at 15K and as you hit 30K miles on them. Thank you for the outstanding review.

    This 2017 review shows the turbo 4 to sound like a sewing machine and a very crappy noise. If it was what AMG has done, then that would be different.

    I agree that pre Bankruptcy when GM had the 51% interest in Subaru, they were doing special things and doing it different at a decent price point. Now with Toyota having bought it, Subaru has slipped into the Blah, Bland, who cares of the Toyota fold and now it is just about the money it can bring into Toyota. Sad state of affairs!

    Totally understandable and Unions have forgotten that without a profit, there is no company. So a plant at 20% capacity I doubt can keep the lights turned on and Hello, no job for life. Welcome to the rest of the world. Also, yes, I know most asians follow the Lunar New year, but the rest of the world does not and so enjoy your holiday but this has nothing to do with the business sustainability. Totally understandable, limited growth market if not just flat due to small country, small population and high cost of doing business. GM has to watch out for the bottom line.

    Honda has lost their minds as all of Honda has gone in the Crapper with the current new style. They went from ultra conservative and boring to outright offensive and ugly and sales are showing it. Interesting thread I found where plenty of people are complaining about the over all bunker blah tired design style. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=411248 Also found the Honda Accord Press release about how great the new redesigned Accord is and I have to say that they sure go out of their way to try and justify how ugly it is as an awesome redesign that lowers the CD, weight extra and yet totally miss how the 1990's versions were better to see out of and a superior green house appeal. http://world.honda.com/news/2017/4170717eng.html

    Better to slice down those people who think walking is better than driving! Very cool Hover car for the 24th century!

    I think the average income is very different too between the midwest and the west coast. So hard to see older auto's around here as I rarely find older than 10 years for American, Asian or European auto's. Too often you find just people updating every 3 years and older used auto's are sent elsewhere for Washington.

    Yawn, looks like all the others with the stupid Coupe design and the pictures show just how little headroom is in the back seat. PATHETIC! Dash, Talk about a dated look, this does not look 21st century but more 1990's. Not sure what the hell they are trying to do but not impressed.

    Really? Does FCA ever make quality a part of their money grab using old tech? #FakeNews who ever said FCA actually planned quality products.

    Tell Mother Nature to make up her mind. Otherwise someone might just go ballistic on her.

    Cubicle, can you see the Facebook link and follow the post to get more pictures and post them here so we can see it better? Work blocks Faceplant aka Facebook crap.
  21. G. David Felt
    Guess Dell does not want us out there either as the firewall must totally block all Facebook crap from web pages as I see what you mean in the story it talks about the facebook embedded link but I truly see no such link in the story at all. I did go check out the other story from some foreign language news site and grabed these images. Carscoops had this photo but it does not look like the one above that is real. Guess have to wait till I get home to look at the Facebook post unless someone else can grab them and post them here.

    Facebook the link is too motor1.com web site and it never took me to facebook to see the pictures. Weird if it is trying to do that for you. Interesting Social Media tag on the car though. #TimeToFocus Have to agree with you that I am also surprised by the small LT rated tires and the whole 11 versus 16 hp upgrade thing. So weird.

    2019 Ford Focus caught in the wild sorta. 34 pictures to enjoy of both the coupe 4 door sedan and the hatchback. https://www.motor1.com/news/232653/2019-ford-focus-spied-without-camo/ Remember, 3rd world countries do not worry about safety. So I am sure they ditched the seatbelts for the added payload capacity.

    I MISS BILL! It doesn't matter what party you belong to, this is good-natured political humor from a show on Canadian TV, where a comedian said he misses Bill Clinton.... "Yep, that's right - I miss Bill Clinton!" He was the closest thing we ever got to having a real black man as President. He plays the saxophone. He smoked weed. He had his way with ugly white women. Even now? Look at him .... his wife works, and he doesn't! And, he gets a check from the government every month. Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America's shelves this week with "Clinton Soup," in honor of one of the nations' distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water. Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada. When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, "I don't know, I never had one." The Clinton revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know." Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to have sex in the Oval Office between the Bushes.
