    Totally can understand, yes clutchless shifting is hard on a transmission without experience. I learned and then rebuilt my trans, but that was long ago and no I just enjoy the experience of speed shifting.

    Very Cool I clearly see the Ridgeline in the front but F150 in the rear. What they have there is awesome. I had to laugh at their use over and over of the word unnerving. Seems the writer has not spent enough time in the ultra quiet EVs. LOL

    Very Cool, Once you get your high speed or aggressive driving shifts down, I then Challenge you to take it one step further. Learn to speed shift in your auto. That does depend on RPM but man can you fly for fast responsive changes and lots of aggressive driving fun! Not sure what I am talking about here is a good overview. http://www.ehow.com/how_2084716_speed-shift-manual-transmission-drag.html Also you can then take this one step further with clutchless shifting, timing is everything but once you learn your timing, you can shift without depressing the clutch. Your car is very cool, Rock on!

    I go with 2004, First year of SRX, CTS both were a big jump in the right direction for Cadillac.

    If Tesla is having high repair issues, that is scary as EVs are supposed to be less maintenance. I so agree with this list of 15 Most Disappointing Travel Destinations. Been to half and was totally of the feeling, this was a waste of time. http://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/article/the-most-disappointing-travel-destinations-on-earth/ss-BBABagZ?li=BBnb7Kz#image=1

    Now we know the truth about the fake extra long shifter! Just look at that break towards the top, Kinda a lorena bobbitt job?

    Very Cool Is this the mid engine stingray and they also have a traditional corvette? Or is the traditional corvette going away?

    Short and Bulbous!

    My thought is that many state, county and city gov's are wanting a EV pickup that can haul and tow short distances. This would be a perfect market for them as well as GM who ever gets there first and then you would have the public seeing these silent strong machines getting daily work done. Your right that in the mid west, this would be a hard sell, but I think the east and west coast would buy it up. Not a hybrid as GM has tried but a pure EV.

    The Bolt was a blast to drive, sadly the wife cannot get over the white V design in the dash. So that is on hold waiting for version 2.0 as we both are not impressed with Tesla design or how low their auto's sit. The Model X was not impressive to us either except for the gullwing rear doors. Not enough to justify the price.

    LOL, call it old age, but I am thinning the herd and simplifying my life. I think I will be happy with my 3 chosen auto's. 1994 GMC Suburban, currently CNG, considering conversion to pure AWD Electric. 2006 Escalade ESV Platinum edition 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS AWD. Wanted to get a bolt, but after driving it and the wife not liking the style of the dash, that is now on hold till they update the BOLT to a pure black dash or anything other than the funky White V they put on the dash that just shows dirt. In regards to Ford, I have to wonder why Ford is not jumping on using in wheel Hub motors to offer a Pure F 150 EV. After all 430HP & 2,350 lb-ft of torque. Talk about bragging rights to an outstanding ability of a pure EV pickup.

    Interesting conversation today at the coffee cooler at work, coworker just bought an XT5, traded in his BMW X5. He said he was really shocked when his wife said she saw it and liked the looks and thought they should check it out as a possible next auto. They liked it after test driving it so much traded in the BMW and came back to an American brand, First one in 18 years. He then went on to say that the German brands seem to have moved into a Toyota style of selling every thing cheap and not being a luxury brand any more. He liked that Cadillac does not look like the other GM products and seems only focused on luxury. Loved his experience at the Bellevue Cadillac dealership. I was shocked to hear this from a die hard BMW fan. I think Cadillac is starting to gain back the Luxury crowd and the German brands are loosing those they used to court with their badge as a luxury only brand as they introduce cheap products.

    Agreed, it will be interesting. So much more I could say here but trying my best to avoid going political. News alone makes me shake my head on what the near term future will be for this country.

    Yup, Just another reason I am holding off on buying a new auto and enjoying my paid off auto's. If I do anything, it will be a conversion of my 1994 suburban to AWD with in hub wheel motors. I so am hooked on this type of conversion after seeing what they did to an AMG wagon. Check out the work they are doing on F150 AWD and the AMG line. I have to say the HP / Torque of the F150 is crazy! http://www.proteanelectric.com/ Check out their video page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMVRVkmIAK5z2CSaowkZ1cg F150_in_the_snow.mp4 Awesome Video of Proteans AWD F150 Conversion truck.

    Convert it to EV and Enjoy some stomach pulling Torque! Just think EV, charge at home and just plain fun.
  18. G. David Felt
    Agreed, that seems really weird.

    Hard time believing the Alfa sales #'s. FCA seems to love to lie about what they actually are selling. as they seem to be sitting on the lots.
  20. G. David Felt
    Ouch, Lexus is taking a major pounding.
  21. G. David Felt
    To be expected in what we are seeing across the whole auto industry. Interesting is the big gain in Savanna sales. Guess companies are replacing older service vans.
  22. G. David Felt
    So is that Alfa Romeo sales increase mostly in Europe? I have not seen them selling here, mostly just sitting on the lot next to the Fiat 500 garbage. Clearly does not show selling 300K a year like Sergio promised.
  23. G. David Felt
    Take A4 and A5 out of the sales and they would be down, car sales as we have seen are crazy dropping.
  24. G. David Felt
    Interesting, Happy for their Truck and SUV sales but this also shows the current times we live in with car sales down big time and over all sales down. Auto cost are crazy high.
  25. G. David Felt
    Easy, It would say about time you manned up and started to build a better Luxury SUV!
