    From the lower corner front nose grill openings, to the coupe design, shoulders over the wheels, I see enough similarities between the two. To each their own.

    We'll I agree to disagree, as when I saw this VW, I clearly saw this in my mind. VW BMW

    Yawn, They are going to have to change the dealership experience and marketing if they are going to grow and become a sales force in Europe. I hope they truly build some class leading dealerships with service to match.

    We'll Carbon Copy is a complement. Rebadge BMW with a VW Grill. Nice, but nothing original. Dash, just another BLAH uninspiring dash. I will grant that this is the best looking VW auto they have done and the only thing that actually has some very nice style even for a clone of a BMW.

    Nothing New Here, FCA is dying and I doubt will come up with the cash to bring out new models as they waste billions on their stupid Italian brands.

    Schools delayed, heavy traffic all for a dusting of snow around Seattle. Gonna be a nice Cool week with plenty of mountain snow.

    Seems for the first time ever, Chevy Cruze beat all the Asian and German compact cars. Consumer Reports says the best compact to buy is the Chevy Cruze, beating the long time leaders from Honda and Toyota. http://www.consumerreports.org/cruze/2016-chevrolet-cruze-review/

    NOOOOOOOOO We need more Snow pack, Remember California produces a major share of Veggies for North America and we need more water in the snow and mountains to help bring prices down. Plus I want a nice LONG ski season! Yes I am being Selfish!

    Yea, Washington is crazy too, 60 Degrees on Wednesday and sun, Rain today and a high of 40 and by Sunday we are supposed to be back in snow. Winter storm watch for the mountains from yesterday at noon to next tuesday. Lovely Snow falling at Steven Pass, cannot wait to go up and ski. https://www.stevenspass.com/site/mountain/cams

    Cool, excited to hear the details.

    Yes you are correct, the console does push into leg space. Over all packaging is not that impressive.

    Wonder if GMC will get a Syclone then since the ZR2 is back for Chevy? After all the TTV6 would be awesome in a new Syclone pickup truck AWD.

    Cool, I am glad, that leaves the rest for me!

    I agree your a Weirdo! I honestly think it is butt Ugly!

    The story is spot on, Ford as it stated has built an outstanding motor and yet there is so much more to it than just the Crank. So many other far more important parts that contribute to the performance than just the over hyped / marketed Crank.

    Cool, looking forward to seeing a pic or two of the final work.

    WOW, Talk about a Range Rover that got stepped on and is now squished! Also MINIMALIST, you can say it with me. CCAP and all the other electric touch feedback haters of Cadillac will really hate this MINIMALIST dash. Everything is pretty much touch screen like a Tesla with only a couple dials. Seems the day of the buttons, switches, dials, etc. have truly come to an end with Range Rover. Over all, really does not look much bigger than the Evoque on the interior. Be interesting for those 2 extra inches to see how well this will sell and what peoples reaction will be to the dash.

    Plus MB does this across their product range on their modular platform from Cheap Eco box's to their luxury level, so why should GM not also maximize basic foundation investments in the platform. They already are night and day different in style, interiors, etc.
  20. G. David Felt
    Are you afraid that Chevy just might actually make a real push into being a complete competition with your vaunted MB? After all Cadillac is focusing on pure Luxury only something MB used to do only in the US, but MB is no different than Chevy in Europe. As such, if MB can play in the 20K market, why not Chevy in the 100K market or higher? No reason not to make Chevy a truly Global brand that covers from Eco entry to luxury just like MB.

    Nah, probably Trumpflakes buying them to put new Confederate flags on the top and live in the past 40+ years ago in the South.

    Denali has Made GMC a mid luxury brand. Many people I talk to when you ask them about GMC, they say yea Denali, it is the luxury brand of Chevy products. I hear this more and more. Lincoln wants to be a luxury brand but right now pretty much just an overpriced rebadge job of Fords.

    Your missing my point, Not everything in life should require training, but some things and Auto's are a big one should always include training. Too many IDIOTS are out there driving their auto not knowing how to turn things on, off, use them proper or drive at the proper speed. I cannot tell you how many fogged up auto's I see being driven when if the idiots would turn on their defrost, they would have clear windshields. Sadly people seem to be too stupid during snow to clear all their windows. EV driving in regen mode with paddles does require training even if you do read the internet. This is why the BOLT will be a success and failure. Success as in ICE mode, it requires use of the brake, but for those in pure EV mode, you get regen and must use the steering wheel paddles. Training of the sales people properly so they can then properly demo and explain it to potential buyers should be a requirement I hope by GM before someone tries to sell the auto. Success comes from training and for those that think they never need training, I can show you less productivity, less performance and less ability to excel. Again, Training on major things like an auto is needed and should be required. I get it that it is not needed on TV's, and many other basic things, but an Auto, yes I think they are needed today due to the complex nature of the auto.

    Everything always needs training and with EV's Auto companies are going to have to train their sales people on how you drive and use an EV for regeneration and other purposes. We are in a changing world and must keep our mind open to learning and changing.

    Interesting, reading all the comments, all 44 of them, many do not believe the Pushrod will go away. I question the need for DOHC when we have history that proves pushrods can do the same HP with better Torque over DOHC overweight pigs that have high HP and pathetic Torque. I question if this will really happen. As others in the story state in the comments section, a DOHC engine like this makes it top heavy and really changes the dynamics for center of gravity.
