I totally get this thread, Just got back from a friends wedding in NH and took an extra week to drive the NorthEast, New Hampshire, Main, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Road Island. I was able to get a Brand New 2015 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4. So going to write up a editorial on my 7 days in that ride. Some impressive points but also some opportunities to improve. I agree that with all the technology, it might be hard for some to consider it an escape yet with that same technology one gets to explore areas they have never been in in an efficient manner. Rock on to those of us that still understand how an auto is an Escape Machine.

Alfa Romeo Goes Back To The Drawing Board Due To China :Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Alfa Romeo
Biggest problem with FCA is their Unionized BS agreements that makes them think they have to keep their mass production going as well as keep stupid Italian lines alive. They are going down the Bankrupt road and will hit it soon.- 13 replies

Honda News: Spying: 2016 Honda Civic Coupe Makes An Early Appearance
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Honda
Cost of auto's has changed who has them and people who do buy auto's wants an easy access for more than 2 people. Very limited market for 2 door auto's anymore other than the diminishing eco box area and the ubber rich 2 door performance machines. Most people want performance with hauling people as to why we see 4 door sedans and CUV/SUVs that can burn rubber. -

Karma News: Karma Automotive To Source Parts From BMW

So unlike Tesla, they plan to have an EV auto with a generator much like the Volt. To bad they did not reach out to GM in regards to their VOLT Powertrain to use. -

Let's Make a Deal: Cadillac CT6 Will Start At $54k
G. David Felt replied to El Kabong's topic in Industry News
That is classic! -
Still early as the more they dig into this the more products will be halted till they are corrected. I expect this to end up costing the VW empire double the 6.7 billion they set aside and could go even higher by the time legal fines are done.

Let's Make a Deal: Cadillac CT6 Will Start At $54k
G. David Felt replied to El Kabong's topic in Industry News
So you move your goal posts again and use the V8 as a reason to say MB appliances are better yet in so many posts everyone including you have stated that many will not know or care what is under the hood. So if a Turbo 4 banger can give you everything the V8 has with better MPG and Emissions then why bother with V8? If you have been in a Tesla you know that electric can give you the same crazy feel and more than a V8 with better cleaner emissions so this complete V8 needs to be in everything is a false front and holds no water. -

wow, 480,000 + year to date. I bet Mazda and others had these numbers. Wonder if GM wish they still owned them? Surprised SMK has not trolled in about his MB being better than Subie! -

Welcome Buick, Acura, Lincoln, Lexus, Infinity competitor. I expect them to eat some of these brands lunch. -
So true and yet then you have the Wheel Scene web site has the 12 best classic cars and funny that one of the cars is on their list that showed up on this list as worst. http://wheelscene.com/12-best-classic-cars/?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=WS-ClassicCars-Desk&utm_term=msn-msn They start their best list off with the Porsche 914 followed by the rest listed below: 12th place - 1975 Porsche 914 11th place - 1970 MG MGB 10th place - 1964 Ford Thunderbird 9th place - 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan 8th place - 1966 Ford Country Squire 7th place - 1970 Ford Mustang Mach I 428 Cobra Jet 6th place - 1970 Datsun 240Z 5th place - 1963 Studebaker Avanti 4th place - 1955 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe 3rd place - 1970 Triumph TR6 2nd place - 1970 Pontiac GTO 1st place - 1958 Buick Limited Convertible The pictures are lovely of the various auto's, but considering how many worst and best car list are being done, I have to think this is a slow news week.

So like always you move your field goal lines to meet your self adjusted vision of MB is perfect, they can do no wrong and never have compared to the rest of the world. -
So I found tonight this write up on what some writers think are embarrassing Black Sheep of Automotive Companies. http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-midsize/black-sheep-embarrassing-offspring-from-otherwise-upstanding-automotive-families/ss-BBmgcb1?ocid=UP94DHP Check out the reasons these auto's are listed as black sheep and sound off on what you think about these choices?

Ram News: Under Consideration: Full-Size SUV for Ram
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Ram
As I said earlier, if Ram does a full size SUV with the EcoDiesel, they will murder the competition as people would like the torque and MPG of a diesel to pull their trailers.- 45 replies

Alfa Romeo Goes Back To The Drawing Board Due To China :Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Alfa Romeo
You can roast me all you want, I do not care, but this is the worlds UGLIEST car Ever. This continues to prove the idiot leading FCA needs to be fired and this brand put back where it should have stayed in the history books. Waste of Billions that should have stayed in the states to build new models for Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Chrysler.- 13 replies

This will not stop people using Diesel for trucks and SUVs for hauling weight and trailers. In regards to Diesel cars I expect to see these decline as Hybrid auto's will replace them. VW's lies have led to a world that will turn against diesels I believe.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-luxury/10-luxury-car-brands-that-time-forgot/ss-AAfhCnL?ocid=UP94DHP Have to say the pictures are awesome, but also a bit surprising to learn about some beautiful auto's that the industry seemed to forget about and leave behind. Will admit that I did not know the Continental was an actual division of Ford, I always thought it was part of Lincoln.

Sweet, the packaging and pricing is great and I think will be very successful for Cadillac.

Blizzack does a great job but very poor wear, two seasons at most and they are shot. The Michelin is an awesome tire that not only handles well but lasts down side is they are more expensive.
