  1. Pretty much like I am so over the Coupe Car craze. RIght now all cars are dogs and the whole Coupe style is so over done, they can crush them all and I would not weep a tear. On the SUV/CUV side, would love a new updated Trailblazer SS AWD and an EV AWD CUV to go with the BOLT / VOLT.
  2. OUCH, talk about Get Shorty only type of CUV. The Roque is a tight fit now for average size peeps.
  3. Expect this to be in the billions, anything less is incompetence on Takata's part and a pay off to the gov.
  4. Yawn, nothing exciting here as the auto will be like most and fit most 5'8" tall people the rest of us taller folks will have to find a volvo, BOLT or some other CUV auto driving ride to fit into. Ford is MISSING the boat here in regards to what people want to ride in for autonomous auto's.
  5. Very sad and her mom died today. I am sure the stress of losing one's child did not help. 2016 seems to be closing with a number of people dieing. George Michael also died, This week is not closing out well for people. Sadly her own Alcoholism and substance abuse took it's toll. She did not handle the fame well in the early years. Still sad that we lost her and her mother before the year closed out. I do wonder how they will address it in the follow up SW movie to the Force Awakens.
  6. Be interesting to see if they stay behind here and miss the change again when the market shifts to other forms of auto transport or do they catch up and hit the next change to be a market leader.
  7. But what happens when a bird takes a BIG Poo on the auto blocking the camera's vision and sensors. Who is gonna get out and wipe it?
  8. Very Cool While not wanting a self driving auto myself, glad to see this is happening as far too many idiots are on the road causing trouble. Better to have the computer drive them.
  9. True, and Yes, my apologies to the OP and anyone else, I have just heard so many poor me stories lately from people who choose to go this route and do not achieve their dreams and then cry a river. My own son is a Graphic Design graduate who runs a group at a high tech company. Bachelors of Graphic Design. I just never think of those careers you listed as people doing that work are focused, driven and productive. It's the ones such as a young man I know who's parents supported him in getting his BA in Art History, then went on to get a masters in Asian Art and every time I see him he is always complaining about no jobs. Worthless education to my way of thinking. I like the young man and am friends with his father but would have never supported my son if he had wanted to study such a field.
  10. OK, Name some, other than the rare 1/10th of 1 % artist, I have yet to find a Liber Art degree that can insure employment that can actually pay off the crazy amounts of money people have spent on Liberal Art degrees. Unless your born with a silver or gold spoon in your mouth so you do not have to figure out how to pay off your college education or how to support yourself, I have yet to find any that truly can support ones self let alone a family. These are the ones that lived life high, did minimal work in college and now have 6 figures of debt, work at some bar or other low paying job and cry about how unfair life is as they cannot afford to pay their student loans. Same kind of lifer students I have run into in Europe and the elsewhere. People complain about quality paying jobs and yet never think about the kind of education they really need to make a decent living. Nothing against liberal arts degrees, but they rarely ever pay back what they cost.
  11. Right prove that was not self driving based on the stuff on top of the auto. They are clearly just trying to flaunt laws.
  12. Agree, I think with all the crazy weather more and more wish they had AWD.
  13. Have to say I like the style and interior far better than Tesla! Love the battery range options too, 300 mile or 400 mile battery pack. Course they are going for an even higher income level person than most Tesla owners. Be interesting to see if they survive or get bought in the future.
  14. @A Horse With No Name Awesome I totally understand and wish you the best with your projects, family and Auto's. Course I hope when you test drive the Buick is the winner for you, Go Domestics!
  15. Awesome write up Bill, learned some things about the eco diesel. Very interesting truck. Thank you
  16. This is the start of trade wars due to Idiot God's Messenger opens mouth and inserts foot.
  17. Interesting, sound like an EV, whether an ICE could happen would depend on if the MEB platform once stretched kept the ability to allow this., If the only focus on the EV then I would say no to the ICE, but that would limit it to the world markets.
  18. So very true and it is such a nice comfy feeling on long road trips. I love the wood sections that are also cut to have nubs that actually allow for better control and grip on the steering wheel too!
  19. OK, Too many things on the brain to think about what feature is in my Escalade ESV Platinum that is not in the others. Pretty please just tell me.
  20. Good Link, shows GM does need to look at trimming production, but also I would agree that they are stocking units to deal with line change over for new models. Common approach to dealing with changes that will have production offline and yet allows them to still have product on the sales lot to sell. Worth keeping an eye on, but not a big deal at this time.
