Seems I forgot in my Pizza Excitement to post the link to the 10 crazy pies to try! http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/10/27/10-crazy-pizzas-from-japan/ Check em out and comment if you would try them or eat them.

Yes the SUV do already fit over the parking blocks, but they have destroyed the fronts of so many cars.

China's own EPA version of EV sales per year starting in 2019 are going to force all companies to invest in EVs. Trump is not going to have any affect on companies move towards EV as the rest of the world is moving forward. The US will need to follow.

Why is it that when you need a cop, you can never find one, yet a couple cops get shot by bad guys doing their job and every branch of every service shows up. Seattle Police, TSA, ATF, Federal, County, etc. Then they stand around socializing Yes 3 teens probably strung out on drugs rob a 7-11 that is in a federal building and boom. The world has imploded. So crazy yesterday as this took place 1 block up from work. Lucky I had customer briefings all day till 6pm so by the time I was ready to go home everything was back to normal.

Would rather have a higher floor and ground clearance. Tired of all the auto's being built close to the road to minimize wind drag due to MPG needs. I am totally happy with my teen mpg on my suv's. Yes it would be great to have higher mpg, but not at a loss of what an SUV is supposed to do.

Cool Info, too bad we had such sucky cars in the 80's for the most part.

So by word of mouth they will dump the Diesels on the market and call it good. Good offers if you can find one that meets your needs. Wonder where the bulk of the diesels are?

Interesting

I get the point your going for, but he wanted a socialist system of equality for all even though he himself and his family did not live that way. Totally agree with him destroying the country.

Ugh, Kinda expected after that rot hole stole the oil companies production facilities. I am surprised this has not happened sooner as that country will eventually implode. Socialism like communism does not work. China is not a pure communism, but a mix of capitalism with communism.

@Drew Dowdell How does it compare to the Cadillac XTS?

I know I am showing my age, but for those that remember the Chevy Luv Truck of the mid to late 70's. A common thing was for us to pull the Isuzu 4 banger and install a small block V8. Totally made that truck Grease Lighting! I agree with @regfootball GM has just not had the time or priority to see what it would take to cram the Turbo V6 into the auto.

If you click the link and go to their site and read all about it, they rip the auto back down to the frame and rebuild it to support the power and torque and make it a hell of an off road auto. Kinda like the Hummer HX concept that I still think should be brought out as a GMC SUV.

Life Time Warranties are cool, but everything wears out and I can see this bankrupting a company. In regards to sharing an auto. No thanks too many pigs that have a I do not care attitude. I like my auto's like new and am a bit OCD about them. Interesting is how Porsche style like that CUV is in the above story.

G. David Felt - Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.cheersandgears.com Jeep Wrangler on Steroids - Rhino XT Hellcat! The company, US Specialty Vehicles which has built many a trick auto for movies as well as building special lines to sell to the public just outdid FCA. In 2015 this company showed off this Rhino XT version which is available for sale with the V6 powertrain on their web site. For the latest Fast and Furious movie, they went out of this world crazy and built this unit with the Hellcat engine. Now the company has informed the public that they too can order up the Rhino XT Hellcat edition and have what has been seen on the silver screen. Yet if a 707 HP wrangler is too much for you and the base V6 is not enough you can always opt for their Supercharger Package on the V6. This takes you from the basic 285 HP by adding roughly 1/3 more power to motivate those 35" tires. The V6 edition starts at $80,735. They also have the Sport edition and the premium edition packages.

Was a weird little CUV. It will sell on price alone I bet and then fad into history. Plus I bet they need to keep production going till they get the others up to speed. Makes sense as they grow their CUV fleet of Auto's. I wonder if VW will use the assembly line to then build their EV's once they have them ready for production. Then just shift the Tiguan Limited production to make EV production.

Appears to mimic the Bolt in being s FWD EV powered partial skateboard platform. Interesting that the battery is so much smaller in comparison to the BOLT or Leaf.

Hello McFly, did you forget to use the pass through on the rear seat and have it stick straight out the back? @ccap41 Dude I thought you lived in the 21st century suburbs not in the rednecks of the 19th suburbs? JK, but that is freaking funny and WTF post of the day!

Very Cool Yes my son does not like the external style or internal layout of the Dodge Durango. My daughter has one and loves it. My son has narrowed his choices to Jeep GC or Ford Explorer Sport edition. For the GC he is vacillating if he wants to do diesel or stay hemi. Back on topic, Cruze Diesel rocks!

I love to test drive auto's all kinds and yes I will roll myself up into sub compacts and compacts to see what they are like. True, at my size, most auto's are always going to be north of 50K and closer to 100K. Will say that I was impressed with the Ford Explorer Sport that we did a family test drive on as my son is considering it as a replacement for his Jeep Patriot. We also test drove the Explorer XLT, not impressed with that. Would be hard pressed to recommend it as the dash interface is terrible compared to the much better dash interface you get with the sport version. Yes another 50K SUV.

Plenty of ICE auto's that I am impressed with. V series from Cadillac. M series from BMW, AMG series from MB, REAL skylines when I was in college in Japan. Corvettes, plenty of ICE auto's over the last 40 years. Toyota & Honda have nothing that is inspiring, roomy or desirable to me. I was carpooling with my coworker last night home in his new TRD Tacoma. He loves it but compared to the GM twins, you have a ok comfy seat in a sea of hard plastics and some soft touch plastics, but much to really go wow about. Course, this was just my thinking. as he loves his truck. To each their own. Have you gone out yet and actually driven a Bolt yet to give a real assessment of the auto?

I would have to disagree with you as they are numb non-inspirational tin cans. Yes I have driven one and still not impressed.

Weird Wednesday and it all started with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE music on I heart Radio. Then onto System of a Down Chop Suey

@William Maley Thank you, appreciate that insight.

So you build a list of requirements, why use a platform that does not support your needs? Never did understand that one.
