    I would take an Encore with a more powerful engine for sure.

    Sadly, FORD needs to get with building a V8 DOHC with some Torque, HP alone does not cut it.

    I believe you mean (effective use of aluminum) CT6, but that's just a quibble. Yes he means that AWESOME Aluminum CT6!

    VTEC, did it ever really amount to anything?

    You just like to be short or sometime long but to the point!

    People wonder why a good employee leaves, just look to mgmt. Usually chaos that shows why the good ones leave.

    I am excited to read about the Diesel Colorado / Canyon pickup. I am also excited to read more about the BOLT. Excited to see and read about where GM is going with their full size SUV's. Do we finally get a VOLT style Escalade, Yukon and Taho / Suburban version?

    Only rabid Honda / Acura fans will still like it in another 6 months. My gut tells me this will become a pig with pathetic performance due to the bloated twin turbo V6 and the changes that are needed.

    Nice looking CUV that I think would sell well here for Buick and gain market share. GM needs to let the UAW build it here and not affect the China market.

    Nice car, needs a Monochromatic version please, Right now my eyes are burning from all the freakin chrome.

    That is one ugly Sucker Fish Faced Predator mouthed car that just needs to die. Who the hell approved this garbage? Really Lexus, you now made your line even uglier. Side and rear is geriatrics boring, the front end is just plan awful.

    So adding twin turbo's, a large increase in weight, this will be interesting to watch if they can really get it into production with only a 6 month change. I would avoid the first one built that is for sure.

    Starting a new job on the 24th of August in the same company and now I am finding it hard to finish out next week working for the moron manager I have. So glad to start a new job with new tech that will be exciting.

    Most of the truck is a carry over though visually refreshed. The 2.5 4-cylinder is the same. The frame has been beefed up a bit. The only new thing (to the Tacoma) is the new V6, but even that is just a variant of the unit in the Avalon, and the transmissions. With enough of the puzzle pieces, you can put together a pretty good picture of the new Tacoma. Would it not just be best to say that Toyota took the Butt Ugly 4Runner and cut off it's Ass and Mid section and added a bucket back there?

    Sonic rocks over this.

    Is that a Big Mouth Billy Bass you have there Hyundia?

    Loads? are you referring to the bed, because the current and only aluminum truck on the market has double the load capacity of the competition. Yes, my experience with aluminum box's and beds on trucks is they wear out faster than steel. As such, I could see the inner liner of the bed being high strength steel but the outer shell being aluminum. You have past long term experience on aluminum bed trucks? I would love to hear it. I wonder how badly their bear cage commercial will come back to bite them in the butt. It's bearly possible. Working in college where trucks were bought and custom beds were installed, the Aluminum beds and box's never lasted as long as the steel units, but did contribute to far better MPG due to the lighter weight. Biggest issue seen with Aluminum beds and box's is that Aluminum fatigues much faster and you end up with Aluminum tears or rips especially when people drop stuff on it over and over. I expect the Pure Aluminum beds to wear out much faster. This is why I am wondering if GM will do a Steel inner bed with an Aluminum outer shell.

    I have to disagree with you, I have had all three side by side and you clearly heard the noisy Powerstroke and then the Cummins and the Duramax was quiet. Both Powerstroke and Cummins you can still hear in the cab and it makes conversations hard, where the Duramax is quiet like a gas engine. Put the Duramax next to a GM gas engine and yes it is a bit nosier but does not have the diesel clatter and over all is on par with gas engines for noise. When the Duramax first came out this one of the points GM talked about as the power of diesel without people knowing it when it is next to you.

    That is one way to look at it but then the MB GLA and GLK are also competitors with Buick, Acura and just about everyone else in the auto industry based on the starting price. Just another average CUV.

    This is good, I can see an Aluminum exterior shell but a steel inner one that is actually used for the loads.Be interesting to see how GM implements the aluminum into the next generation SUV's and Trucks. Be interesting to see how they hold up in work and off road.

    Take the Terrain with the 2.9L Baby Duramax and Rock it in AWD mode and still be in the high 30's for gas mileage I bet. I personally see no use for the clatter, the noise is not needed and I love that when GM went to Isuzu to build the Original Duramax one of the top 3 items was to be quiet like a gas engine. This proves you can have all the power of Diesel and quiet like regular gas. The Duramax is an awesome engine and my choice or the terribly noisy Powerstroke and the quieter but still noisy Cummins.

    G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427/430 L88 http://rickcole.com/1969-chevrolet-corvette-427430-l88-coupe/ Found this on Rick Cole Auctions web site, was not aware myself of the L88 Corvette, but WOW talk about SEX on Wheels! This is a freakin BEAUTIFUL Corvette. Quoting from their page as this car goes on auction and based on their estimate is expected to sell between $650,00 to $750,000 dollars. Only 2,576 original miles. 1 of 10 built with a 4.56 positraction rear axle. I love this part of the stated info: When launched in late 1967, the L88 option created much confusion among Corvette enthusiasts with its laughably conservative 430-horsepower rating and stiff pricing making the L88 seem less powerful at twice the price of the former top L71 427/435 Tri-Power unit. In fact, the L88 produced well over 500 ponies – stock. Chevrolet’s disinformation campaign actively discouraged L88 sales to customers who were not professional racers and in company literature, Chevrolet cryptically declared the L88 Corvette an “off-road vehicle.”

    Interesting issue, I found the following on this: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3-Support/ps3-3d-glasses-are-not-working/td-p/39284785 Seems to be an issue from Playstation as I see other threads where the PS 3D glasses are hard to sync with various other manufactures.
