    Would be cool for my parents who really should not be driving and will not listen to me or my sisters.

    Good one Homie!

    Did someone buy it already?

    I am excited from a tech standpoint to try this out and see how it works.

    Biggest hate of the dealership, IDIOT Salespeople that really do not know their products. This Trailhawk is gonna have customers asking specific track questions and they better know what they are talking about. I can see someone asking about Launch mode and a sales person saying Yup it has a trailer hitch.

    And they wonder why people can never say nice things about a dealership. Dealerships are a love hate relationship in many cases due to their own greed and piss poor handling of service and perception.

    I would rather add my own PIA fog lights and take the extra cooling to the breaks and engine. Any Dealer who thinks they can mark up an auto over MSRP are idiots. I have a Chevy Dealer here in Seattle that has 30 BOLTS on their lot and they already have them all marked down $2K off MSRP and are selling them. Buyers have to feel that they are getting service and a deal to plunk down money. Anything else and you're an idiot in this 21st century buyers market.

    I honestly thing due to the so called living wage push, which has forced inflation up, the packages on auto's have also pushed the price up and yet then you see huge discounts to keep the product selling. Why not just go ahead and bring the prices back down to reality. You would probably get allot more young people into an auto and excited about auto's if you did not have them starting in the mid 20's and going to the moon. Pricing on compacts and subcompacts are crazy now.

    @Drew Dowdell Sorry to hear he crossed such a line. I really do not get people being so out of line against people. After all we might not like a person or what they stand for but educated individuals should be able to be civil even when they disagree with another. Sad, but then you get what you give.

    Nice review, good commuter auto or first auto. I am a bit dismayed as to why they are using an 8 inch screen when the 10 inch screen in the bolt is lovely. They should have that standard across all auto's. 10" and up in size as you go up in auto size. No stupid need for tiny screens.

    Start Stop still needs plenty of work. Had a loaner from the diesel and both the wife and I did not like it. Yes it did it's job fine in terms of turning off at a stop and back on when you lifted your gas foot. Sucky thing is that it is not silky smooth. It is very abrupt and just not a pleasant experience. While I see no advantage to the V6 over the Turbo 4 in terms of performance like in the ATS which I have driven plenty of since they have both versions in the loaner mix at the cadillac dealership I use, I do agree with everyone that the V6 is smoother than the turbo. I also in regards to lag just get into the habit of pressing the gas pedal sooner to get it to spin up which does make it pull harder than I notice in the V6.

    Very Cool

    At this time and date, no, I have yet to find anything of durable value. Heck, even 90's GM stuff is better than today's Chinese.

    Believe he is still banned.

    Interesting, cool SUV, wonder if any will be on the lot when the next model year comes out and if so, what kind of discount one might get.

    The first hyperloop test bed is built and ready for it's first run according to this story. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/high-speed-hyperloop-track-ready-for-first-trial-run/ar-BBzziBe?OCID=ansmsnnews11

    I know in washington state, you can sell your lease / financed auto yourself as long as you have the payoff and then pay off the auto first and direct the title to go to the new buyer or financial firm. Leases, I have been told are a bit more tricky but can also be done as you have to cover the residual amount the auto company expects out of the auto on trade-in plus what ever you owe on the lease still. A bit harder from my understanding. Check with your financial company to see what they will expect in regards to you selling the auto rather than trade it in.

    @Scout & @ocnblu I totally agree guys. What is amazing is they did a recall and kick Gov brown out and brought in Arnold, the Governator and then since he was in office for two terms, it allowed the time limit to pass and so brown got back into the gov chair for his third term in office and what very well could be a fourth term. Stupid laws in CA, stupid GOV. Just like all states, Politicians know how to spend but are clueless on how to budget and live within that budget. Example, Educators of Washington state are not properly funded by the supreme court. 1 billion shortfall and the state has till mid year to shore up the education fund. They are talking about all kinds of tax's and yet nothing about reduction of spending especially when you look at DHSH or what is known as the social services group of Washington and they spent 1 billion last year for illegal medical and are stated to spend it again this year. Hello McFly, stop spending on what is not to be a cost of tax payers and put it into the future workers of America. So irritating.

    Ouch, lucky it is an easy warranty fix.

    According to Channel 3 KCRA news as reported on msn.com, California has pushed through their first gas tax raise in 23 years to address their $130 Billion plus backlog of road repairs / upgrades. This will be covered by the following increases: Gas tax $.12 per gallon Diesel $.20 per gallon Auto Registration $25 - $175 per auto. They say this will add about $10 per month to the average driver's monthly cost. While many people say it is more expensive and will be tougher, they also say the roads are needed to be repaired. Interesting is while this got pushed through by the Governor, republicans in the state which are a minority in both houses say this is a contest between the house and senate of California to see how expensive they can make it to drive and live in California.

    So you're saying that this V6 powered regal will have 295 lb-ft of torque if they get the V6 compared to 260 on the turbo 4. Yet we know this Turbo 4 can also be had with 295 lb-ft of torque as they do it on the ATS. I still wonder as the ATS Turbo 4 is way more fun to drive than the V6 ATS.
  22. G. David Felt
    Cool on one hand but on the other. The Turbo 4 is a better engine as its torque is delivered lower, the V6 while having more HP, has only a smidge more torque than the 4 banger. They really need to stop the stupid design of high revving engines to create horsepower that is useless in most driving and give the torque that scoots off the line and up to speed and holds. Yea, the my engine is bigger than yours fans will still pay a premium for the V6, but I honestly do not see it as much of an improvement over the Turbo 4.

    Interesting, I can see to offload Opel/Vauxhall that they would commit to having some auto's built in the European plants, but eventually I think this will wind down.
  24. G. David Felt
    Hyundai and Kia have in the US and Korea plants to build their own engines especially for the Hyundai luxury line. but in the past and covering these years, doing a search seems to bring up a wide range of suppliers. Not sure if it is all accurate, but Mitsubishi is showing as a supplier as is Chrysler. Weird, hopefully someone knows more on this and can clarify for us.
  25. G. David Felt
    Agreed, Amazing that this type of manufacturing error happened today. Hopefully they can recoup the cost from the supplier of the motors.
