With trump in office now, approval should be a no brainer as his 1% club does not care about the environment.

Wonder when the next auto correction will happen. Year after year sales growth is not sustainable. Yes I do see some big double digits drops but still some auto companies are gonna hit a point of needing a correction. Course I think some auto companies with bland boring product lines needs to really shake things up. Course then I am dumb founded by VW becoming the worlds biggest auto company even with Diesel gate.

Awesome little Torquey ride! RIP!!! Better things have come, the BOLT is a way better auto and no need for the Spark EV.

Pass on the Deep Whiff part!

I am sure they could but then I would say we should discuss that in an Escalade thread. So about the XTS, I see this car actually living on for a lot longer than most people expect. Best uses are private auto transport such as Lyft or Uber, Limousine service, Funeral parlor service, Fleets in addition to private retail sales to those that want a more float older full size auto. I would like to see some of the thin seat technology go into it as the room for feet under the front seats is tight. That would help those of us with big feet.

Tesla has stated that they have already corrected the safety issues but were unable to deliver an updated auto for testing. It will be retested later this year. Errors happen, be interesting to see how the BOLT tests out. 24/7 Wall St. Story

Fordcosworth, not mad at you, but the story as I was skeptical of what they reported. Sooo, I dug in by going to the actual web sites to see what the real story was. And the story you posted is a Cherry Picked Story that is so full of misleading facts it is unbelievable. They cherry picked auto's over the last multiple years of cars / trucks / suv's. Here is the actual real postings by 24/7 wall street: 2016 ratings 2015 ratings Neither of the Big 3 Trucks are in the last two years rankings and I had to go back to the first generation colorado crew cab to see where they even came up as it being 2nd place. This is the type of PISS POOR MEDIA REPORTING that is hurting our country. Check the facts, verify and post a real story not just one that is clearly a personal agenda piece.

100% agree, been to way to many concerts where people could care less about your sex and just want to take care of business. Funny is the people working the concert that freak out when women come into a men's room to use the toilets since men are not using them only the urinals. Stupid narrow minded thinking.

FIAT BrandThe Fiat 500 recorded a 24 percent sales increase in January compared with the same month a year ago. Yea, I would expect this with all the cash they are throwing on those cheap POS auto's. The Fiat 124 Spider was named “Best New Convertible” of 2017 by the experts at Cars.com. The all-new Spider delivers the ultimate Italian roadster experience with driving excitement, technology and safety combined with iconic Italian design. Yea Think? This is a rebadge Mazda, so it better be way better than any Fiat garbage, which is all Fiat has ever delivered to the US except when they partner and end up putting their badge on another companies auto. Glad to see the rest of the American Lineup doing well. I am suprised by the Jeep Renegade sales, I find here in Washington many are on the used auto lot with low miles. Make me think they are as reliable as their POS Sibling at Fiat. So the continue savior of FCA Alfa is doing so awesome with 108 sales in January. At that rate, 1,296 sales a year, it will take 231 years for them to hit that magic 300,000 sales a year number Sergio sold the board on. WHAT A WASTE OF BILLIONS!

Great Numbers for our US manufacturing!

Very true, religion and ultra conservative people have pushed a large separate everyone agenda just like the extreme liberals that say we have to identify everyone and then give the right for everyone to use each other's bathroom. I say I could care less if you are hetro or LGBTA or whatever additional letters they want to push on us. Just go Unisex bathrooms and let it be. So many more humans get along in a single large bathroom than here in the US. Plus I have to say there are some really cool urinals in the asian rim. Usually across from all the stalls for those that want more privacy you have one large urinal area. The asian rim which I travel to often for work has crazy advertisements and have fun peeing ones. Thermal Urinals seem to be the craze there right now.

The XTS in Black Amethyst is lovely in the 2017 XTS AWD 3.6L TWIN TURBO ENGINE V-SPORT PLATINUM This is a hard car to beat.

Yup, having lived there for 3yrs while attending Kobe University, you only find western bathrooms in hotels, airports or select places that are heavy with tourism. If you go into the real towns and places around cities, you find unisex bathrooms. Culture is no one cares if your a man or woman, you just do your business and go. I love Unisex bathrooms, so easy and simple.

Simple Solution, just stop the nonsense of men or woman bathrooms and go Unisex. One bathroom for everyone like in the asian rim. Simple and easy, everyone goes in the same place.

Do not forget that some large markets like India and China have such bad pollution problems that EV will be the future, Hybrids a stepping stone and auto makers will have to build as Hyperv6 states for the global market and not just the tiny US market anymore. Days of the US dictates the market are over.

I wonder how much studying was done in regards to people using a dial versus push a button versus traditional shifter. The reason I ask this is a neighbor just down the street from me ended up getting a new minivan and it was gone only a couple days later and was replaced with a different one. He had bought from one of those mega dealers and due to his arthritis, he had a hard time turning the dial versus using a traditional shifter or as he said it if came with push buttons he would have been fine, but a dial to turn was hard for him. Just wondering if they thought about turning versusu pushing versus moving a shifter on people.

We'll Said! She made her bed, now sleep in it. Course I do wonder if her and her son will ever truly move into the white house.

With the look on his wife maybe he will be single again soon. Video Clip of his unhappy wife. Course funny that the #FreeMelania hashtag is one of the hottest things now according to this story. So very true, we could take a page out of the Asian rim. Single bathroom for all. They have never had men and woman bathrooms till the 90's when they added them in select location for tourists. You will find the Unisex bathrooms to be very nice and cleaner than the western ones.

Yawn, Time to wait till the official info is out. Anyone can drop a ton of weight by decontenting an existing auto and saying it is something special.

LOL, I do understand the tears comment, just cracked me up. As an Independant and with multiple generations of Marines in my family, I take a very different approach to our political system. Still the comment was spot on and the responses were tasty funny!

Hopefully my fellow peeps will like Toyota's Global offerings. Be interesting to see what all changes.

Love the Lineup! Sadly, their time has come and the future is bright with zippy EV's, Hybrids and other tech auto's to enjoy!

We'll this pretty much finishes off manufacturing for Australia and no one can blame them as costs are just crazy there for such a small market. Hopefully the Aussies will enjoy the new global models.

Hate to say it, but this seems like overkill. Also due to VW current Dieselgate, I wonder if they can really pull this off. Course they just did become the worlds biggest auto builder thanks to China.
