GM sent out a private invitation to buy a new GM auto, 2017 or 2018 auto, with the pin included in the mailing, here is the discounts available on all GM products. Some pretty nice rebates that can be transfered to anyone else living at the same address with proof of address on a DL. 90 days deferred payment start, Must finance through GM Financial, FL, PA and TX are exempt from the 90 day deferred payment start. States can be used with other available programs, but a few are exempt, dealership to see Corporate Program # 17-40CBI. Interesting

Industry News: Rumorpile: Lucid Motors Had Takeover Talks With Ford
Interesting to read when you see the number of beta auto's being tested in the US and Germany. They clearly got a bunch of money in the beginning, but now based on the last few stories, I have to think someone pulled out funding for them to freeze everything and now have to search for more capital. Bet this is owned in the next 12-18 months by China or some investment group.

Industry News: Loyalty for SUVs and Crossovers Hits A New High
True, $4 gas and higher separates those that can afford an SUV from those that are living paycheck to paycheck. For me, I am very frugal, but will always have my comfort, so I plan on high gas prices while I drive my suburban, full size SUV's. I would rather not waste time on the Jones Jones race of competing with my neighbors, who cares, I will drive my comfort SUV. Disagree with you here as yes during our recession of 2007, everyone felt the pinch but GM did not see it as bad as other auto makers. There is still a need and demand and those that do not like debt will have the cash to buy what they want and drive what they want. I am one of those.

One thing different if I ever get some spare change is to take the air intake vents in the front, chevy logo's and rims and have them all black chromed so they would better blend with the rest of the ride.

Audi News: Rumorpile: Next Audi S8 To Use Panamera's Twin-Turbo V8
Interesting and exciting at the same time. I am surprised it took them this long to raid Porsche for engines for Audi.

2018 Honda Accord, rear three-quarter view, white exterior
Based on what I have seen from an Aerodynamics stand point, you can get the same flow with just minor turbulance in this style, I do not think we will see the Ocean size trunks come back but I can see a smaller trunk and more of an upright rear window style. A flowing front end that comes to a back end style of window and then the trunk. Kinda blending the CUV rear with a 4 door sedan. That is how I see the next trend in car design. I believe we will see a blend of CUV / car in the cars.

2018 Honda Accord, rear three-quarter view, white exterior
Still the Coupe on a sedan body style that I believe is a DEAD Design trend. I think in the next 18-24 months we will see a move away from the Coupe Design for 4 door sedans.

My GTI after 1.5 drop
Nice looking car, but was it really that much gap between the fender and the top of the tire? UPDATE - OK, now that I have seen the other pic it is a nice clean tight package now. Cool

Honda News: 2018 Honda Accord Enters Its 10th Generation With Only 4-Cylinders
While I was hoping they would push outside their conservative view of auto design, I guess I was hoping for too much as the look does not impress me at all and why drop the already ride height any more. That is just crazy. This will loose sales as people do not like pushing up from the ground to get out of a car nor do they like to drop into the groud to drive or ride. Sad

Jaguar News: 2018 Jaguar E-Pace Hopes To Strike Lightning Twice
I understand this but hate it if they did follow that just to be like everyone else. I do think they could have used the e for their pure electric line rather than i. Why not call this model the i-pace and their pure ev e-pace which ties into electricity. Or they could have called it J-Pace for their EV since Joules is a part of the EV culture. I just wish more thought would go into the names.

E-Pace should have been the name for their pure EV solution, otherwise this works!

Cadillac percpetion
G. David Felt replied to A Horse With No Name's topic in Cadillac Appreciation Club's Cadillac DiscussionPictures do not do it justice, but the 2nd gen Escalade seats are far more holding of the body and comfy than the newest version and they are much flatter than that picture shows. My wife says our escalade seats are like a quality leather chair and you can sit in it for hours and hours. The 2017 escalade loaner I got were hard and flat like plywood. Not a road trip worthy suv.
