    You Rock! That clearly explains what is missing in the photo, does not look that long and it has been forever since I have seen one in person, so that is good to know. Be interesting to see how they sell and what they end up doing to continue to drive sales. Based on what you have said, then it makes sense to be a Plug-In Hybrid that covers long distance as they they focus on the next generation of the auto.

    Strike out is me! Auto Industry, this is why you are in reduction mode for mid size sedans / cars. No passion, nothing to inspire people to buy your appliance auto's.
  3. G. David Felt
    That would explain the conversion to have the Corvette Engine in these auto's.

    Sadly for me there is just no passion in this segment. All they seem to be is appliance auto's for the most part. I guess if it has to be a 4 door sedan over 2 door, then I would go with the Chevy SS.

    H'mmm, Buick Grand National from the 80's Chevy Monte Carlo Aero from the mid 80's Cannot think of any other sedan I would want or could fit into.

    Lucky for me at 48 old years, I still seem to function on 4-5hrs a sleep a night. Cannot seem to go to bed before 11-12am and then body wakes me up at 4-4:30am and I am wide awake, so just get up and go to work. I would not know what to do if I had to sleep more than that, I would feel like I wasted most of my day.

    We'll Damn, I actually thought they would go the full EV route. This is an over priced warm up of an old TV dinner. @ Karma

    Awesome list, I think you should do the Trax or Encore. Those are nice rides, probably the Encore as my choice out of that list.

    Along with that so called satisfied durable diesel engine was the destruction of the forest due to the over polluting diesel that caused acid rain. VW is now clearly responsible for a large amount of that acid based on the actual output of toxins. Hybrid / electrification is not crap and you know it, but are just not wanting to change soap box's for an alternative view. You and I both know it will not cause petro engine auto's to go away overnight. There is also no reason not to improve the air we all have to breath by having auto's that do not cause air pollution or noise pollution.

    @Drew Dowdell You have plenty of great experiance with the auto's, where do you think this transmission will spend the bulk of it's time in regards to the 10 gears it has. Will is skip a few here and there, go 1,3,5,7,10 as it shifts if no load and under heavy load then go through them all? I am also excited by the change and additional fuel economy I think proper programming can get out of these additional geared transmissions, but I do wonder about the shifting.

    Got it, I will correct your post then: I think Chrysler 200s are selling for $9,995 right now.

    @hyperv6 I see your point but still think if marketing was done better and they blanketed the whole US properly, it would have sold better. The Hybrid SUVs was a system that was never in my mind marketed or had the story of what it got you told properly. This is much like the GM AWS for full size trucks. GM should have just made it standard on all 1500, 2500 and full size SUVs. AWS is awesome and makes driving a full size truck or suv especially with a trailer so much better. Sadly, GM introduced it and did not bother marketing it or clearly stating the benefits, but you talk to those that have their AWS trucks with this feature and they have no desire to give it up due to the ease of moving a large auto around in tight spaces. AWS like Hybrid should have been standard on all full size trucks and suvs imho.

    I think you missed a one, please post the ad if you can find one as the cheapest I could find a 200 was a fully loaded 2016 200 Limited for $19,205. 2017 start at $22,995. This was on the west coast.
  14. G. David Felt
    Glad to see GM is being proactive and supporting a program that encourages employees to report issues like this.
  15. G. David Felt
    Hope they nail VW hard for this crap. Plus time to just move this along and focus on the future of Hybrid, EV,etc. Diesel is dead, RIP as we move forward with technology.
  16. G. David Felt
    Hopefully there is enough data out there that you will be able to compare an older 2016 with 6 sp near identical in equipment to the new 2017 with 10sp. Would love to see the compare and contrast of the specs in whatever write up you end up doing.
  17. G. David Felt
    You Rock!
  18. G. David Felt
    Can we also get a comparison if the more geared transmission truck is faster or slower than the older truck with less gears. Interesting observation is that I am seeing auto's with less gears outperform those with much more. So is the 10 spd faster than the 8 or 6 sp transmission equipped auto?
  19. G. David Felt
    So True Drew, the CT6 is the far better Deal over the G90!
  20. G. David Felt
    If Alberts commute got so long, what is he driving then? Encore or something else?
  21. G. David Felt
    Still like this Encore interior better than the mess of the MDX.
  22. G. David Felt
    I am gonna have to disagree with you. Coworker has a new MDX and I compared my other Coworker who just traded in his leased Encore for a new Encore and big difference. The current Encore beats the interior on the current selling MDX. It really is surprising and nice. MDX does not win here. It truly boils down to what you like more than anything but to me, Encore wins over the MDX in quality of interior.

    Interesting, that is weighted down with what ever is in the trailer. So is the Chi platform part of the Cha Cha Cha Chia family? Cool, to see, I hope we see this in the next 6 months at an autoshow, Hopefully Detroit.
  24. G. David Felt
    I expected this, I also expect we will see a plethora of EV and Plug-in Hybrids over the next 24 months.
  25. G. David Felt
    I thought we were getting stupid drivers in the US, but I think Europe has us beat. It is amazing that they are letting morons drive that clearly should not be driving and talk about messed up road system. As bad as what I found on the east coast of the US.
