  1. I'll be in Annapolis this coming week. Shame if something would happen to your nice new truck... Or you could put a special bow on it for Ocn, I am sure he would love a present in the bed!
  2. Surprising as with all the travel I do I do not see Suzuki auto's and commercial trucks much except in the Asian rim.
  3. Love to hear a larger off lease returns are coming. Means some nice fully loaded low mile used options.
  4. This should be interesting to see how it does and what people think of the auto.
  5. Conversely, many don't realize that these companies tend to very well overall when you consider total global sales. Suzuki, for example, outsells PSA (Peugeot, Citroen), Renault, BMW, Daimler AG (Mercedes) in total global units and have been generally profitable. This just goes to show how hard it is to overcome a bad reputation in a single country thanks to some $h!ty Daewoos. Mazda is doing pretty well for itself after its break-up with Ford. It has a ways to go, but is increasing its global sales and overall profits were up 77% as of the most recent quarter. Considering the constant praise its vehicles are managing, they're likely on track for continued success. Mitsubishi, on the other hand, is a fairly mixed bag. Globally, it produces about the same quantity as Mazda, but its latest profits were down 10% (but not in the negative). Does that include Suzuki motorcycles, marine products, etc or just truly auto's? Amazing to hear that Suzuki outsells those other brands.
  6. Found this lovely bike on a web site that was about lighting. No other information about the bike just the lighting to take the picture. Having never seen a bike like this, anyone know what it is? I really like the flow of the body design.
  7. S-Class is OVER RATED! Being in a few I have yet to see why they charge so much as it does not register with me but then I guess not being part of the billionaire class I cannot fathom the badge snob of it either.
  8. Wonder if you could figure out a way to have this plus add your own little generator so you get a 200 mile range on electric before the generator kicks in.
  9. Time to get serious about the US stop trying to push their democracy agenda world wide and being the global police force. Time to cut in half the 1800 military bases and 500 black op bases around the world. Bring these soldiers home, place a good size chunk on the borders to keep illegals out and cut down on the cross border illegal trade of weapons and drugs. Then spend the other chunk of savings on paying down national debt and to increase the efficiency of agencies like the NHTSA. We need a president along with the House and Senate that will stand up to the business specialist and military and start focusing on the safety and rebuilding of our national infrastructure and schools.
  10. Truly Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Mazda and all the rest of the little fish need to merge and stop the waste of money on small segments and get serious about competing with the bigger companies. The days of survival as a small fish are over in this global economy. Time to merge and go with bigger, deeper and wider portfolio of auto options.
  11. Wonder if the company that started back in the 50's could be trying to come back by building quality engines?
  12. BOLT Rocks, So much better looking than the Nissan Leaf or many other EV auto's out there. Just wish it was an AWD EV. Be interesting to see how this affects Tesla's Plan for their low cost version.
  13. This is such a Sexy Car, Buick needs to bring back some of this style and flow to the product line.
  14. This should be interesting, Buick has killed it with the Encore AWD CUV for those Urban Luxury Get away weekends. These are the people who want to go to a nice resort be it on the beach or in the mountains and have an active life style. Maybe Ski, kayak, fish, surf, etc. So my understanding on the marketing is people who will drive an 1-3 hrs to go some place to do activities for the weekend. Interesting picture, does look like the 2013 concept a bit, be interesting to see the nose and how much they changed it.
  15. Very cool, gotta post pics asap when you get it so we can all drool on your Valentines day gift.
  16. I wonder if they will use software to downgrade the programming on the transmission so you have less torque, HP and the way it locks up will have the transmission last longer but at a penalty. My gut tells me that FCA does not really have a fix for this transmission and it will take a complete new build from scratch to fix the issue or they will drop the 9 and go backwards to a stronger more durable unit.
  17. Nice car but would take a ZR1 over this any day. At least they have not gone to the Big Mouth Billy Bass nose job of everyone else.
  18. 18 miles of 900 plus HP at this price is a JOKE! This is a major Failure for them. But then most Billionaires can afford to waste money on a joke of a car. ZR1 beats this in so many ways and the following two companies can give this to me at a far less cost with more fun factor than this car can deliver. http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/corvette-zr1.html https://www.lingenfelter.com/engine-packages/c6-zr1-ls9-2009-2013/c6-corvette-zr1-378-cid-ls9-supercharged-engine-package-750-hp
  19. WOW so the new Camry gets a version of the Lexus Predator mouth nose job and the Corolla gets an updated even bigger Big Mouth Billy Bass nose. Both UGLY UGLY UGLY! What is up with the patchwork looking dash, wow again very UGLY!
  20. Bet I could use LED to do the same flood coverage as those big ol old tech lights and use a fraction of the electricity to do it with.
  21. I agree people who do not like Fiat but want something small will go with Jeep Renegade. Otherwise I think the 500x will eat 500 and 500L sales.
