2018 Toyota Camry Does Something Unexpected, Becomes Expressive: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)I am shocked, I actually like the style, have to agree with @frogger that the nose on the car reminds me of a shaver and makes you want to grab the auto, and shave your face. Inside I am mixed by, not really taken by the dash.

Audi Tries a Full Size Crossover Coupe with the Q8 Concept: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Nice specs but a number of Failure Points! Failure 1, only 37 miles pure electric? Li cells have gotten dense enough where this really needs to be double that at least. Failure 2, Why the Hell Coupe? Again, so over with this whole coupe crap and the loss of head room, storage in the back, etc. If you want a coupe buy a car, leave the CUV/SUV market where it should be fully functional not retarded and diminished. Failure 3, while it has the Audi nose, the rest of it makes me think I am looking at a Lang Rover. Very uninspiring and lacks and creative external design. I could go on with what I see as failures, but leave some for others to comment about.

2018 Ford F-150 Adds A Diesel and A New Look: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Interesting, not bad, not a fan of all the Chrome. The interior is my big beef. We are in a fluid world and that interior looks cheap to me as a snap together clunky interior rather than a smooth flowing dash. The dash also looks cheap to me in comparison to others.

2018 Chevrolet Traverse Takes A Bow For Its Second Act: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Interesting, nice looking but jelly bean shape for me, too feminine. Pass. Love the Interior. Just dawned on me, this reminds me of the first generation Durango.

2018 GMC Terrain Becomes Less Boxy, Offers Three Engines: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Gotta say that after viewing the cnet video on this auto, I like it much better and I see no problem with the push button transmission. https://www.cnet.com/au/videos/2018-gmc-terrain-gets-acadia-like-looks-and-available-diesel-power/ Over all, this video drives home the upper luxury of the new 2018 Terrain compared to the Nox. I really am liking this more and more now.

Mazda CX-9, 812 miles, 5 adults, 8 days, 7 nights, Grade = D-
I understand the point you are trying to make, when your 280lbs, 6'6" tall of muscle, most asian auto's do not fit me. For a CUV, I expect space and this failed on that. Yes, this was a 2017 CX-9 and I have to say I was totally shocked by the sluggish Bluetooth. My son also was very unimpressed with the slow response.

2018 GMC Terrain Becomes Less Boxy, Offers Three Engines: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)RIP Terrain, I will miss your boxy self. This is nice and I am sure I will come to like it, but right now, I really miss the butch Terrain, this is more Feminine. Dial transmission based on the photo, Hmmmmmmm Not sure how I like that but I do realize that technology is there for a reason and no reason to not embrace an electric transmission shifter.

Day Time Driving Lights! What is the problem with all Auto companies making this a standard? Driving up to ski yesterday and back home both at Twilight, it was amazing how many auto's seem to NOT have Day Time Driving Lights and Auto On lights. I say BS to the bulk of the nanny devices like auto braking, lane drift monitoring, but one thing I wish was required is Day Time driving lights and auto on head lights. Seems Toyota is the worst offender, along with Subaru. I could be wrong and they might have this feature and the idiot owners just have it off but damn, it is hard to see some of these auto's at twilights especially when they are grey, black or any other dark color that can fad into that light spectrum. Just cause they think they can see good, does not mean others can or when in a hurry they must think they are hidding from the cops or some other dumb reason. Really wish all auto's had Day time driving lights and autoon lights. Tired of Prius owners getting on the road with no lights at all on or just marker lights and driving cause they are too stupid to notice that the road is not lite up and then they cut you off and almost cause an accident.

Kia News: 2018 Kia Stinger GT Is Something Very Different (UPDATE)
Meh, Looks like all the other fastback coupe design sedans. Such a boring segment. Like the engine specs. I get what you mean Fap but for the bulk of society, Manuals are dead on arrival. Too few care about the driving experience and just want to brag about specs and get from point A to B.

2018 Ford F-150 Platinum Interior Dashboard
Is the Antenna not that chuck of plastic on the top of the roof? I do not see any fender antenna and I agree with Cubical, so old school, why not a whip in the back of the roof or as Hyper says in the glass.
