  1. I agree that they need a deeper CUV lineup, not sure about the car lineup. I honestly do not see a need for the convertible. Coupe yea, but convertible is such a small dying market that why waste the R&D dollars when there are far better areas to spend it in.
  2. I totally agree with you, how hard would it have been to use the mold, change the center section to remove the rectangle and have a properly centered Holden logo. This just screams old GM cheap to me. I would question the wisdom of this when they could have so easily redone the grill that fits in there with a proper Holden badge.

  4. If you think of what Tesla offers which is in increments of 10, I can totally see it being the battery size.

  6. I like your Thinking Peach Butt!
  7. P ??????? Why a P, that makes no sense to me. How does that say EV or Hybrid? Someone want to help me out here as to what I am missing?
  8. Totally get this, module platform they should have been on 10 years ago. Crazy that 3 models and nothing in common other than the parent name.
  9. I read this story earlier and actually think it was spot on from my own experience with some of the auto's. The only big thing I disagreed with was the First place winner should have been last place. But that is just me. Loved the rebuttals.
  10. Auto Show Models!
  11. Cookies
  12. Your welcome, it would appear that it is slowly becoming main stream. Would love to see how these tires stand up on an extreme mountain bike.
  13. Bike versions of the Tweel are cool, talk about never having a flat!
  14. I wonder if they could build this tire and put a side wall on it to keep things out.

  16. G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com Michelin X Tweel Tires, Future Tire Today! Michelin for the last 10 plus years has been playing with an airless tire. The goal has been a tire that has no air valves, no more need for air compressors at gas stations or any auto dealership or repair place, no more repair kits and no more flats, ever! We have seen many presentations by Michelin at auto shows over the years presenting various proto types but for the most part the story has been the same. With this we went through stories about the Military exploring this as a better way to deal with unknowns in the war zone / deployments. Testing is still going on today. There has been many marketing presentations from Michelin showing their testing. Today Michelin has in the last few months finally went main stream and you now have the official web site. MICHELIN® X® TWEEL® Airless Radial Tire Web Site Michelin X Tweel Images on Bing The web site shows that they have them available for select applications on Tractors, lawn mowers, golf carts, Fork Lifts, ATV's, etc. Auto's are stated to be coming fall 2017. It is really amazing to see and the life of these tires is far longer and totally recyclable. Some very big gains over traditional tires. What do you think? Is this Awesome Cool Tech or DOA, takes away from the look of the car and what? Sound Off Peeps!
  17. Yea, that would rock! Put this electric racing motor in it. 420HP 560 Lb Ft reving to 10K RPM from AM Racing. Total weight 180lbs. Details
  18. First Sergio is a CHUMP and an IDIOT! Second, Ford is way too happy and ignoring the fact that 2025 is not going to really change and the latest just published on CARBS own web site for what they want by 2030 will make repealing the EPA 2025 mandates hard. https://www.arb.ca.gov/newsrel/newsrelease.php?id=891 Mary seems to take the best tone of working with the POTUS. I think she knows that rolling back CAFE is not really going to happen. Interesting times we live in.
  19. It is a CUV world we live in, I do not expect to be wowed or surprised, I have a feeling it will be a average auto that will sell.
  20. Have to say the more I look at these two Equinox and the Traverse I see much that matches the suburban. Both are lovely rides! The Traverse I think looks like a mini Suburban.
  21. @hyperv6 @oldshurst442 Appreciate the support and wisdom you have gained and shared. I have in place the power of attorney, wills and right now my sisters agreements with it all. I do wonder how both my sisters will act once all the appointments this week are done and we know the facts. Hopefully everyone can still be an adult and deal with it properly. Thanks again guys, appreciate it.
  22. Slip N Slide
  23. Just imagine a tourqey EV or Hybrid version! I see the Future of them having a 4 and 8 banger and then an EV or Hybrid as the power lineup. Thinking on this, eventually the V8 will probably be replaced with a Turbo V6 due to stupid taxation on engine size around the world.
