    This is going to really hurt VW, saw the VW dealership by my house and it looked closed, so pulled in and sure enough there was a sign on the door that said they would now be closed on Sundays to give their employees time with their families. This is a HUGE dealership that was open 7 days a week with Service 7 days a week. Based on sales, I bet VW dealerships are really hurting.

    WOW, Someone watch over and over and over again Demolition Man. So BMW just copied what GM did for that movie almost to a T!

    Yup, it is amazing but you can have a whisper silent Electric auto or you can have one that is tuned to allow the whine of the EV goes as is or as I have seen, there are those that actually tune the sound that comes from electric motors to so called enhance the experience. Noise or Motor sound either way you still have a distinct sound that can be had with electric motors.

    Very cool, Glad you are customizing it the way you love your auto. Hope it stays that way for ever.

    Ignorance is Bliss and Marchionne is proof of that. Anyone who has driven a Electric race focused auto knows that he is wrong and you can have one of the most amazing experiences in an EV auto. Yes Ocnblu will agree with Marchionne probably as he is all things petro, but I have to say that when the EV is done right, the overall driving experience is exhilarating and you loose nothing except some hearing loss just like the over noisy Harley Davidson bikes. I doubt the V8 or V12 engine really gives that much to the experience except for badge snobs who will say they have to have this engine to survive and be elite. Which ever company brings out the right noise tuned EV will win big time.

    Best comment in this thread is by Balthazar: "Plus, might be advisable that all driverless cars look a LOT more like a car, and a lot less like a Pokemon." Over all I am not thrilled by this being on the road with me but I also know humans are far to lazy to take responsibility for where they drive. We will see this, how soon, is any ones guess. I can say this, the tipping point for EVs is 2022 according to the battery industry. EVs will be cheaper than petro autos is the forecast.

    All auto companies need to be investing in this as there are many people that would like to have an auto where they just say take me here and not deal with driving. Those of us that love road trips and driving are still plenty but also becoming the lessor of the bulk and in 25 to 50 years we will have a market for those that want self driving. This makes sense to me but I wonder is it better to build your own software for this or pay another company for it? That is the bigger question, Do you build up a developer group or pay Apple, Android or Tesla for theirs?

    To your first sentence, I say "duh". That was not the point though. The point was that the SS put that M4 to shame in the performance department, thus redefining the performance to dollar ratio argument. The SS is just proving to be that good and that should be respected. Lets take this to the next logical step which is the Entry level auto brand is surpassing a Luxury Level Name Plate showing they are living off their past glory and not really making a quality product that people should and would want to spend the extra money on. Lately there are plenty of Audi / BMW / MB products that I question the $$$ being spent when you can get superior product from other luxury and lower level auto companies.

    Thanks for posting these pics, your right that red is a bit much.

    Another Vaporware excuse while he continues to steal millions from the American name plate and pockets the cash in various ways and wastes it on pie in the sky dreams of bringing back dead name plates.

    The big one, right? I've seen only a few. Actually, probably just a tad less than the Ram. I don't see near as many of the 2500/250's as I do the small Transit Connects and slowly seeing more of the little Chevy vans as well. Sorry, ment to have it plural to cover both. But yea the big one in addition to the small one.

    Has anyone seen the Nissan Van's? Seattle has gotten a bunch of them as Taxis and I have seen a few of the nissans as works vans and only seen retail sitting on the lot. Course they are never advertised so I wonder if anyone even knows about them. GM has also done a piss poor job of advertising the mini van.
  13. G. David Felt
    That is interesting and must be a regional thing as I see transits but not in the numbers compared to the ugly new RAM van and GM's Vans especially their new Chevy mini van. That thing is everywhere around Seattle.

    +1 that compact is what is needed here more than ever. If GM brought this here now, they would corner compact, mid-size and full-size trucks and dethrone everyone including FORD as the biggest truck builder and supplier. I can see many city dwellers buying this compact truck.

    This is why the people need to DEMAND that both House and Senate member become 4 year terms and you allowed a total of 2 (TWO) terms in office and back to private life having to actually work and produce for the GNP. This way House, Senate and President are all two terms and no lifers that never really care about the country, just their jobs and what they can manipulate for themselves. That is a Rockin Fire Truck!

    Casa, the rims you got are Perfect, they allow the Calipers to accent the whole wheel and it offsets the rest of the car perfectly. I would have gone with these rims myself or black chrome rims. Either way it would have accented the calipers and the car just right. Nice jobe!

    Found this old one on the streets of Seattle. Found this on Doug's NW Cadillac's Dealers used auto lot.

    Congrats on your new ride. Keep us updated on how it goes, mpg, reliability, etc. Always good to hear how a car is working out for a person.

    That baby ROCKS!!!

    #11 I asked that very questions of your Foreign or Domestic in the form of American, Asian or European Name plate. So which is it please?
  22. G. David Felt
    Agreed Ocn, I think the whole Mid size is a viable market but can handle only so many sellars. I think FCA would do best with a true compact.
  23. G. David Felt
    Wow, very cool, it seems the companies that are really old are all big monster companies looking to suck all the money out of you. Glad to hear you have a great insurance company Balthazar.
  24. G. David Felt
    That is a great rate, who you have for auto insurance?
  25. G. David Felt
    Is it American, European or Asian?
