    This is going to get far more uglier than VW knows. They are just shooting themselves in the foot over and over and the public will remember. I doubt VW will be more than half it's size before the scandal erupted in another year.

    Ford GT, the Acura and 458 are butt ugly.

    Yawn, As boring as the rest of the Toyota product line and a lower half of their ugly predator grill. I am sure it will sell well to the Toyota Faithful, but this auto does nothing to stir the passion of wanting one and taking it on a road trip.

    Meh, Too little way too late. Old auto vaporware trying to keep people excited about stuff that is not being delivered or delivered very well. They are the Baby Boomer Asian version of a conservative mind set. Honda, make your cars more exciting for the masses and then you can waste money on Pie In The Sky vaporware products.

    I'm curious about that part. I haven't seen any info on what the revisions are. Edit: Found 'em - "For 2016, FCA released an updated version of the 3.6 L engine for the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This engine now featured two-stage variable valve lift (VVL), a cooled EGR, a new intake manifold, new fuel injectors, and new coil packs. It also features upgrades to the variable valve timing (VVT) system, an increased compression ratio (11.3:1), lower internal friction and lower weight. These improvements help to increase power as well as efficiency." Very cool to see these engineering improvements, but how does that relate to MPG? As everyone seems to be stating same HP / Torque or is that also wrong? Just wondering what the end point is for the updated motor, MPG = HP = Torque =

    ^ That is an interesting history note as I was always led to believe the ports went with Cylinder count. Thanks for the info Drew.

    SKOOL. How sick is this? Click to blow it UP! 2016_chevrolet_city_city-express.png Remember the days of REAL CUSTOM VANS!

    Agree with you there.... I understand the point you both are making but for most, the baby boomer generation and the vent ports in this case being fake were just bling and I do not see the bulk of the public wanting that kind of fake bling. Plus if they are going to have vent ports, then since this is a 4 banger, have 2 on each side not the top of the hood and have them vent the real heat from underneath out and down the side of the auto.

    Drew, did we not have a story about the Opel version of this and it had interior pictures? I was wanting to compare it with the current Encore to see how it looks. It's the first link William provided in the article. +1 to you. DOH - Did I brain fart that big time. This dash will be a much nicer update to an already successful CUV. Thank you,

    Bet we see a Cadillac as well as Buick Convertible!

    Love the Matt REAL HOOD VENTS hood upgrade on this car. It really makes it rock.

    Very solid write up, gotta love that. Sounds like a solid line up that the competition will use to gauge their reaction in their own auto lines. Should do well for GM.

    LOL, When your 6'6" tall 300lbs, the SS is a sporty coupe to me! OK, then I have to copy El Kabong Challenger Hellcat Plum Crazy. Course being a UW Dawg Fan Purple is my colleges Color!

    So if it has to be current model year new, then I go for the Chevy SS. built the way I want it comes in at $51,689 for a 2016 SS.

    We'll my local Cadillac has a few unsold CTS-V coupes still, lovely but yes they are new but not current year. Do we have to stay new with current year? Just trying to figure out the game.
  17. G. David Felt
    We'll if it has to be new then a CTS-V Coupe otherwise used would be an ELR or the XLR.

    I have to say I really like the new Encore. A much more agressive body style over the current Encore that was also very nice.
  19. G. David Felt
    I have to say that I like the interior and dash, nice better than most of the ones they have had that looked gimicky and cheap with the floating nav screen. Exterior, BLAH, nothing special, looks like all the other MB jelly bean autos and gives me no reason to even consider it. MB has lost their style mojo, AMG is a watered down mess now. Pathetic, but badge snobs will still buy it.

    I know only a couple of these are real concepts but even the photochop ones look good. That little thing really is AWESOME! The only thing they would actually need to change would be the rag-top and it looks like it could be made just like that. Agreed, they could kick ass and sell a ton to the inner city folks who want a compact pickup for their Home Depot runs. No need for mid or full size trucks.

    G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com Seattle's Aggressive EV Plan by 2017 / 2025 Living in Washington state where the state has chosen or forced based on your take of the political people in Olympia, the state's capital to move the population from petrol to EV auto's and drop all support for alternative fuels this comes as no surprise to me. Seattle mayor announced yesterday a huge push to triple the number of fast fill charging spots by 2017, only 1 year away as well as cut in half the amount of green house gas produced in Seattle by 2025. How you might ask is he doing this? The city starts with the private residence where they will offer loans / payment plans to encourage people to install their own charger of choice into their garage. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is offering $500 towards this install, the state is offering up to half the cost and Seattle now will finance the rest. All new private construction must now have included an EV charging station. All new commercial residential buildings (Apartments/Condo's) must have X amount of spots for charging based on the size of the building. All new commercial building period will now be required to reduce transit emissions through building tune-ups every 5 years and other operational improvements this includes having so many charging stations available for use by the work force in the parking garages. Seattle is going to triple by this time next year in 2017 street access charging stations. The city is putting in place plans to support workers living in the city with affordable green housing. Seattle has also committed to an an VOLT fleet of city auto's replacing all gas powered cars. They are also looking to find alternative auto's for their trucks and pushing forward with a complete electric city bus fleet. Video and news coverage is found here: KING5

    Remember we are all adults, professional and need to take the higher road and not get sunk into the quagmire muck of auto silliness. Respect each other and make valid cases for your belief and reasoning on why we do what we do.

    I think you mean Kia and not Hyundai. Hyundai dropped their minivan (Entourage) in the late 2000s. Yes, thank you for the clarity there, it is Kia who still has a minivan. Still wonder why the name change, would love to see if this was focus group driven or some other marketing or just Sergio wanting to screw everything up before he goes.

    Awesome Review, makes me want to try the burger.
  25. G. David Felt
    WOW, What a beast, that would be cool to drive.
